Sexism at it's most extreme

CdeC

I found these videos online, basically found them hilarious but quite scary too. What does after hours think. Is this guy completely off the wall or does he have a point??

Link to more (a lot more) on youtube if you watch it there

Lip reading is a bitch enough as it is, as well as when its on a youtube vid skipping.

In work so can't really listen to it.

What am I meant to be outraged about?

Oh right, rabble rabble rabble, OUTRAGED so I am! Women in sport? That's just silly. Blah blah blah.

pom pom snaz peeler

its all factual... certainly the results/times speak for them selves..... ive never though of it that way but when you see olympic winners running similar times or even worse than juniors it does make you think...... but women do have a disadvantage in terms of strength.......

I think it is a load of sh!t myself but I've been fascinated by the videos the last two days. This point of view interests me and not something I believe myself it still needs to be heard. Some of the other videos talk about the pay gap and there is some resemblance of a point mixed in with loads of other ridiculous points.

In other videos they talk about pay gaps and that in certain sectors woman and men get equal pay but the work is not equal (men are doing more)

Also I think that the negative potrayal of men in the media needs to be tackled which is also brought up.

The Soviet Union are decades ahead of the Capitalist economies in Gender Equality. In the early 1990's one of the top directors of the Soviet health service complained that her industry was being devalued at Political level because of the large number of women in the top decision-making jobs of the health service.

Next: Manny Pacquaio wouldn't last two minutes against Vitali Klitschko, so what's the point of weight classes in boxing? What a moronically stupid argument, not to mention incredibly offensive to both female and Paralympic athletes. Why do we have weight classes in combat sports, or age grades in pretty much any sports? Because it creates a fair basis for competition.

As for the mooted idea about women being overpaid relative to their output: a single-digit percentage difference in world-class performances in a physical contest has about as much relevance to productivity in the average workplace as the relationship between ambient temperature and the number of millimetres below my body that my left testicle hangs at.

I just said what was in the video dont blame me . I pretend to believe women are as good as men at everything .
I dont even think that in an office environment they care more about territory and their percieved position than the task at hand .
I dont think they get a period and spend the working day in a huff .
They are just as worthy as the same money as men .

Women and men are not competing against each other in these sports, so I don't really know what his point is. He's just using differences in strength, speed and stamina, which we all already know exist, to be misogynistic. Being better at sport doesn't make men better than women. Does the fact that women have recently passed men in IQ make women better than men? No. So, no, he doesn't really have a point.

It kind of does....but why have they??

I dont think female bosses are worse to work for than male bosses . Taking everything as an insult and thinking that somebody suggesting a different method of doingsomething is a personal attack on everything she believes in .
This guy probably does though .

It doesn't really, because there are other factors that come into it. It's the first time that it's happened, and it's being put down to the fact that a lot of women these days juggle family life with being mothers and home-makers and such. It's a reflection of modernity. It doesn't mean women are automatically and naturally better than men, and it certainly doesn't mean all women are better than all men (which is what the video was suggesting, albeit in relation to sport).

Not true . As a plumber working in peoples houses for years I have seen mothers at work . I am now a stay at home father of three and I am better than any I have seen in action . I dont get in a strop with them for the littlest of reasons and spend my time teaching them about life and actually playing with them . They are very balanced and popular children well behaved too .
I think men make better child minders than women . Well 50 /50 anyway .

Men can write their name in the snow with their wee-wee.

Men: 1
Women: Minus a million points for being poo-poo heads and having cooties.

Did you sort out their waterworks?

Unblocked their pipes?

Sealed their gaskets?

Fixed their overflows?

Made their connections nice and tight?

I bet you did, sir.

he is only talking about men being better than women at sport though,
well at least for most of it before he veers off to the whole feminist propaganda movement
i hear women have better genes too... who knew???

Youd be surprised what these earth mothers in their designer walking clothes (that took 2 hours to find the right hairstyle to go with ) and their serene smile are really like behind closed doors .
I hear you roaring at little finton and ailish because the workman is here and its upsetting your day and your stressed and fintan isnt eating his free range eggs and your missing Ireland am over him .

Thread title is misleading. The fact that the fastest and strongest men are faster and stronger than their female counterparts does not equal sexism at its most extreme.
