***** Funnily enough, in times gone by in the case of divorce a man would legally inherit the kids (at least in Victorian England) as the primary breadwinner and financially able to support them. It's only been with the rise of feminism that women have inherited the kids while the man pays child support for them. Also in a country that makes laws and social responsibilities that overwhelmingly burden men with colossal responsibilities to help protect women from the burdens and dangers of society - just look at William Blackhill's sentiment on the matter. Feminism - the art of bitching how life is permanently unfair to half the population whilst ignoring reality. :P

Without men women would have to blame each other and they would. The need for a nemesis doesn't disappear just because one has slain the said nemesis. No it attaches itself on to the next best target. The momentum will keep searching out for a new enemy. Women are safe from other women as long as men exist as collective hate objects.

Skippy19812 The problem is that its easy to lose freedom rather than to obtain it. If the men of the world don't address this neo-feminism view that people have and just let it build up, there could be serious consequences. It's just like the rising of the Nazi party: people didn't care that Hitler was on a crusade against jews because it didn't affect them, until it did. But then the world had to go to war to get rid of this mindset, and this could be the start of a gender war. I don't want to meet a really nice girl, cute, funny, and hot I hope, and just ruin it all just because I say that it's stupid that men hate women. I know you are joking, but this is something that is actually scaring me and other men, because it's getting to the point where being a neo-feminist is the norm, just like it was being a nazi in World War 2. I know it's a bit exaggerated comparing neo-feminism with nazis, but it really isn't that far away from each other.

lol, Im sorry, but I chuckled a little at the thought of "women working together in harmony" in a future without men. At all the jobs I've worked at women were the first to badmouth other women and create the most conflict. These people that want to think "the decline of men" will bring forth some sort of utopia of cooperation and understanding are in for a treat if they get their wish come true. That doesn't mean they were bad at their jobs, far from it. But most didnt miss the opportunity to scheme behind each other's backs about the most trivial shit imaginable. Not saying men don't do that, but holy shit women do it on a whole different level. It was some scary shit to imagine what they were saying about me when I wasn't in the room. :D

I really can't stand how any man who does something wrong is an example of the evils of masculinity, yet when a man discovers Penicillin, invents general relativity, creates a culturally influential film, they are just good people, and if women weren't so oppressed they would be doing it even better.

But one day we all have to grow up and realise that it's up to you to care for others or be on your own cause as a man ain't no-one going to care for you. You either accept being on your own or a slave to a females needs for the sake of enabling her to nurture kids.

Leafie the Great What exactly, does a woman sacrifice, to get a man, that is not equally replaced (often with more) by that man? My mom cared for me once. But I grew up and that stopped once I left home. For me and most men that is the end of "care" of the kind that benefits in any material way. Men then have to go on in their lives sacrificing for little more than the deluded belief that a woman loves them and a conduit to having kids. In reality though when that man is dead or they are seperated, she will have a far easier time moving on than he will without her, and probably own all or half his stuff. What does a man really need from a woman that he can't obtain for himself or from other men... other than the other half of a reproductive equation? Genuine question.

When a man tells a woman he is lonely, scared, lost, angry or insecure she tells him to grow up, be a man or ignores him. When the same man says he feels suicidal she lables him as a creep or crazy or talks down to him like a little baby. He can definately forget about sex or being in a relationship or keeping his relationship. Of course this is not all women but most women only care about their own feelings and are the complete opposite of empathetic. This is why some men only think women are good for one thing. If you cannot get emotional support then what good are you as a friend or lover. By the way this is also why some women like bad boys or to date jerks because those men rarely express any vulnerabilities. Then those men rise up in society and we end up in a violent world...thanks a lot ladies!

Christina, I'm extremely disappointed that you would entertain the question without even looking at the language used. When are we using the word "obsolete"? Simple, we use that word for machines, we use it for appliances, we use it for devices, we do not use it for human beings. Underlying this question is the deep seeded misandry that men are just utilities for the benefit of women, and throughout this video, that's how you treated the subject: men are the laborers, men are the doers, and they are still necessary in those jobs, so at the moment we still need them right? I'm not going to change my phone now, it's the top of the line, but when the next one comes out, mine will be obsolete, and I'll just throw in the trash. This is disgusting. And no, clearly no, women would not be happy without men, and they would certainly not put on weight, because there would be no men around to transport the food directly to their tables in their well-lit apartment with their nicely regulated air conditioning and their running water. Clearly, if men were not here, women would just lose all their comfort and they are treating us like appliances, blaming every ills of society on men, and inventing non-issues like man spreading to add more to their bigoted and vile sexism.

She seemed to swell and give birth by her own law. From the beginning of time, woman has seemed an uncanny being. Man honored but feared her. She was the black maw that had spat him forth and would devour him anew. Men, bonding together, invented culture as a defense against female nature. Sky-cult was the most sophisticated step in this process, for its switch of the creative locus from earth to sky is a shift from belly-magic to head-magic. And from this defensive head-magic has come the spectacular glory of male civilization, which has lifted woman with it. The very language and logic modern woman uses to assail patriarchal culture were the invention of men." " - Camille Paglia

Actually there is a third option here in which the statement is somewhat true: that "male" and "female" both may be phased out, to a large extent. To just treat everyone like individuals (at least outside our romantic lives ;) ). In that case, men will keep doing what they excel at, and so will women... and so will the men and women who gender-bend. Which is probably what you, and also most anti-feminists, think is a much better way to look at things. Gender certainly contributes to our wiring, and we can speak of it "as a rule", but its purpose is diminishing. We no longer have such scarcity that we need to specialize the genders beyond what they really want... so why should we?

Seriously....emotional intelligence doesn't determine logical capabilities. It just means the ability to keep stock of one's own emotions as well as those of others. Mercedes Carrera has an engineering degree. A fine example of women's abilities to be "goodzz at math or dat fanci logyk." There are also women doctors, chemists, and scientists. Don't attribute your own meaning to something if you don't quite understand it. As for the psychologist thing, I don't think emotionally intelligent is quite the same thing as emotional. I'm pretty sure psychologists need to be in control of their emotions enough not to let their patients issues affect them too harshly or their judgement. It makes sense that most psychologists would be males, as men's emotions tend to be less outwardly visible than women. As for the great part that's subjective to your own opinions. Men are probably less likely to seek help in suicidal situations because they worry it will ruin their image (professionally or socially) or be embarrassing. I would encourage anyone having suicidal thoughts to seek professional help. There are people trained to help you through hard times like that.

Being myself a men that doesn't fit most stereotypes, I kind of take offense when you characterize men as this and women as that. I think that as society becomes safer and more technologically advanced, some traits characterized as (but far from being) exclusively masculine, such as aggression, will become naturally milder as consequence. Just as women collectively had to learn to be more assertive, more rational and more competitive in order to survive and thrive in the job market, it's only natural that as predetermined gender roles cease to be necessary their characterizing traits diminish. This pattern is even seen in nature. For example, lions have drastically altered behavior when in a safe and plentiful habitat when compared to a harsh one. One of the most significant traits is how the males become more family oriented and patient and playful with cubs. In fact, the only reason why this hasn't happened more drastically in our society yet is because one of the gender roles men are expected to have is to repress their emotions and, therefore, take much longer to get in touch with their own frustrations than women, whose gender role was to be in touch with their emotions from the get go. That explains why women were more capable to take the first step since the source of the problem for both genders is of an emotional nature. I assure you that men were (and still are) just as frustrated with the traditional gender expectations as women were. The generalization that men are this and women are that are extremely narrow in my perception as if men were incapable of developing more empathy, verbal intelligence and emotional maturity as it becomes more socially accepted and/or required. Men surely don't inherently lack the capacity. After all, many if not most of the greatest writers, philosophers, artists, trailblazers in psychology and so on were men. I think the big mistake is the assumption that people are limited to what the stereotype of the gender is, which greatly underestimate a person's or a class of people's ability to adapt, grow and change. Women did it. There's no reason to assume men lack the ability to adjust to new paradigms. Gender roles are not a predetermination of what you can be. They were actually designed to stop you from being all that you are to better serve the species. And that's the gift of the society of the future. The possibility for both men and women to be exactly who they are on an individual level without being limited by their specific gender roles.

So, can you imagine a world where men are constantly being told that they aren't needed and men saying, "Okay, have it your way, you are on your own."? That is the reality that women are facing now. Men are now saying, I am not going to play this game anymore, not with these rules. Marriage, relationships, even jobs and education.

The gender wars is stupid. Men and women are biologically different and those differences manifest in different ways. That doesn't mean however that either is incapable of blurring the lines and performing tasks and roles which the other may normally excel in. Ultimately it comes down to the individual's choices.

When I hear these claims that men are obsolete, the first thing that comes to mind is "She probably just got dumped." In all honesty, the only times I hear women complaining about men is when women aren't getting what they want. It's like an angry child who's been told she cannot have candy, so she stomps her foot and says "Well, I didn't really WANT candy anyway!" and storms off.

Part of the problem is that women are thought to have empathy by default. From my experience, women are way more self centered on a whole then men. Cut out the playing with dolls part of a girls life and men do more unknowingly to help others then women by 10 fold. Girls just have better press. I am sorry, but girls remain with the mind of a child for most of their lives.

"For most of human history, men have been the dominant sex..." There are two groups of people. One of them works, sacrifices, bears the unbearable and risks life, limb & eyesight for the benefit of the other. The other takes a passive position, accepting the work and offerings of the first. Between the server and the served (and allowing for minor, random deviations and outliers where this is not the case), who is truly dominant? And that society of fat, happy women would collapse into chaos and starvation the first time a hurricane or earthquake leveled a city. Because without construction workers, engineers, laborers and the ones doing the dirty & dangerous jobs, buildings collapse, water stops flowing and electricity disappears.

I got a computer technologist diploma and yeah, >90% of the students were male, but the women weren't treated any differently by either their peers or instructors. They were students like any others. On a side note, just in the next building was a dental assistant class. 99% female. Oh, the gender disparity! :P

Great video! One thing that I cannot mention enough is the overtaking (especially in academia) of feelings over facts, which is sadly happening more and more. Whether it be students, researchers, staff, or faculty, we should cherish facts over feelings as that's where learning starts. The "my learning ends where my feelings begin" should die already, and sadly that is not happening. While I do love great educators, PC correctness shouldn't limit educational institutions. Students (and staff) are taking advantage of these loop holes constantly (I know I've been a victim of it myself). Imagine being banned from a class because you were being taught false information as if it were true, and spoke up about it to correct them politely. That's not how a university should be!

I as a man I do feel that women are faultless, victims and in need of encouragement. Whereas men don't cry nor give up, need a woman, are flawed and need harsher criticism. This is the result of the rhetoric I have grown up with and cause of much pain and shame of being male. I guess men need to be oppressed to be sympathized with, as is the trend for the oppressed. It hurts to see women yell at me for being too masculine and then blame me for not being happy because their needs are not being met by virtue of my male nature. I'm thankful for this women airing on the side of maintaining respect in a flawed but socially abundant argument.

Great video! I don't understand why people focus so much on men vs. women when there are so many things that define a human being. I'm a girl and there are plenty of girls I get along with very well and understand: we share the same interests, have similar ideas, etc. But there are also a lot who I don't understand and they seem like aliens to me because I have so little in common with them. There are guys who I have lots of things in common with and get along with well and some who I don't understand at all. Variety is the spice of life. If it were only girls, that would be boring. If it were only guys, that would also be boring. And it's the same with other traits. If everyone had the same sexuality, were of the same race, were all extraverts or introverts, had the same taste in music, had the same goals, etc...that would be boring. Yes, there are differences between men and women, both biological and psychological. However, that's not the only thing. There are also differences between sexual people and asexual people. And differences between extraverts and introverts. And differences between older people and younger people. Plus lots of others. And they're all okay. One's not always better or worse than the other in any of those cases. No one should think it'd be fine if men (or women, for that matter) all disappeared and it's the same as it wouldn't be fine if all introverts, all heterosexuals, or all white people (or whatever else) disappeared. Acknowledging differences is totally fine. Acting as if one if better than the other and establishing all these hierarchies is not fine.

I went to therapy with a female therapist, Susan Captein, here in Portland OR. She told me: "men are superfluous", and she believed that I should agree with her. I have filed a complaint with the State of Oregon. You can find specifics here: www.yelp.com/biz/susan-captein-lcsw-portland I have sympathy for the experiences of trauma that induced Ms. Captain's categorical bias against my gender. However, it is inappropriate for her to work with men, whom she considers to be fundamentally less than women. In the therapeutic context the therapist must create a space in which it is safe for the client to address their issues. To be categorically denounced as belonging to a group (men), who are "superfluous" is, to put it mildly, counterproductive to creating an environment in which effective therapy can occur. While I am a man, my primary identification s as a human being, first and foremost. As such I find the rabid defenders on both sides of the "gender wars" problematic. No human being is either obsolete or superfluous.

Can't express enough how much more I like working with woman than with men for the most part. Every time I have needed help and asked for it I've had a woman willing to help. Men either criticize or claim that I'm not qualified for the job because I had to ask for help. Or if I'm working with men they will push me aside to complete a task I was in the middle of doing. Basically I've recieved little to no respect from men my whole life at work and outside as well but woman have always had my back. Sure there are women I don't get along with but what can you do.

If we made a bell curve of each sex compared to inherent characteristics like aggression, empathy, etc., we might find overall, statistically-significant differences between the sexes, but I would hypothesis that there would also be a lot of overlap. A successful society allows the individual to engage in the roll they are most viable in. A nurturing man would be better as a care-taker than a miner. An aggressive woman would be better as a cop than a waitress. Moreover, people who try either forcing individuals in traditional gender-roles or forcing people to break them are not allowing the individual to thrive in the environment they need to be in.

Yes, it is a material (physical) world we live in, and women just aren't as physically strong as men, nor as aggressive. Maybe you saw the recent episode of 60 Minutes, in which women were impartially subjected to the U.S. Navy Infantry Officers basic training program. Not a _single_ one made it, because women just aren't strong enough. And the program is as tough as it is because it has to be. Making it easier so that women can pass would compromise the force, as a whole, and make it less effective. Men and women are _not_ equal. That's the reality. There will always be outliers, but the exception _proves_ the rule, not disproves it. The fact is, like I said, it's a physical realm we live in, not one of mere ideas. Women need the strength and resourcefulness of men to survive and thrive in it. That's how it's always been, and always will be... That's a very conservative opinion, you say? Maybe, maybe not. But it's a moot point. The reality is as I have outlined, above. And if you reject reality then you live in denial.

Part A vs Part B Part B drives automobiles built by Part A, walks streets and sidewalks, eats food grown by Part A. Then claims to be independent of Part A. Furthermore: In material philosophy there's a notion that part B is incapable of higher thinking due to the fact that Part B derives or acquires her status via sexual attractiveness. The entire persona of Part B is based on the sexual. Enter the term "sexual transmutation" This philosophy suggests that higher reasoning can only be attained by transformation of sexual energy into production (building) or reasoning. (Arts, philosophy, science) Part A, time and again must leave the realm of sexual pursuit for necessities of life and the pursuit of material things. Agriculture arose from this and with that the industrial revolution. Part B's roll in all of it was the sexual attractiveness that she used to acquire the things that Part A strove for. Part A's pursuits within the material world were apart from sexual conquest and survival required that. Part B survival need only be sexual. Secondary reasoning, Secondary problem solving. This truth makes part A vastly superior in intellect and survival. Part B claiming that she is wholeheartedly independent of Part A is a fallacy
