Holy crap, what is it with you and videos?
Anyway, when you have to push a video in front of my face to make me aware of it, it's apparently not as significant as you think.
And I still don't watch them.

What is it with you and not watching videos?

"In order to reply, I have to type out their argument for them, e.g. "At 2:13 the video says X." That's not happening. If someone has an argument they want me to consider they need to type it out. Also, audio/video stick out if you're browsing at work. It's less apparent to just read text."

She didn't just post a video, did you not see all that text before it? Besides, there are more ways of making a point than just writing out an argument. Videos are one of the ways people do this, videos often include humour and bright asthetics to make a point, something that couldn't be done with just a written argument. And I don't care if you are at work, you shouldn't be on here at work anyway, you should be....you know, working.

If you have a good point you don't need humor and bright aesthetics.

Yep.

That isn't a response to the text. Sometimes videos compliment text, you're just being obnoxious.

And if someone is too dull to understand that you have a good point, videos need to be used.

More like videos and memes are used to dress up poor points.

It sucks that you encountered such a disturbed young woman. She does appear to have men issues but I'm not sure how her mentally disturbed state of mind is linked to your distaste in feminism. I'm sure you're bright enough to look up the definition of feminism yourself so I won't get into that here. I knew a girl who would act similar to the girl you have posted about but she did not identify at all as a feminist. Disturbed behaviour is disturbed behaviour. It goes deeper than feminist views.
"Yes, I am a Free Lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere. And I have the further right to demand a free and unrestricted exercise of that right, and it is your duty not only to accord it, but as a community, to see I am protected in it. I trust that I am fully understood, for I mean just that, and nothing else."
— Victoria Woodhull, “And the truth shall make you free,” a speech on the principles of social freedom, 1871
