Man Makes To-The-Point Videos About Common Women’s Issues, And Here Are 50 Of His Best Insights
InterviewFeminist, writer, and video content creator Mohammed Farhan is charming the internet with his simple, to-the-point, and informative TikTok videos. Not only is he addressing very important women’s issues, but he’s also showing the proper way to react to them and what to avoid doing as a man.
In short, Mohammed seems like a great incarnation of healthy, wholesome masculinity who focuses on support, empathy, and equality, instead of victim-blaming and posturing. We’ve collected some of Mohammed’s best insights below, so have a peek, and be sure to let us know what you think of them, dear Pandas.
Toxic masculinity as a whole isn’t just a fancy modern buzzword—it can lead to very real social, mental, and physical problems down the line if left unchecked and if traditional masculine values are taken to the extreme. Sexism is just the tip of the iceberg.
Mohammed shared with Bored Panda the best approach to fighting both sexism and toxic masculinity. In his opinion, a part of this fight revolves around early education, specifically with regard to how sex ed is taught.
"But more importantly, I believe, is teaching young men of their specific roles in the patriarchy and how toxic masculinity is dangerous to both themselves and those around them," he said, calling for introspective activism. "We should also work to build a culture where men hold other men accountable for the perpetuation of rape culture we have become accustomed to. As men, a lot of us have to unlearn these damaging habits. As men, we have to play an active role if we want to see change."
Bored Panda also had a chat about toxic and healthy masculinity with psychotherapist Silva Neves. According to Silva, toxic masculinity isn’t about behaviors “but about a general attitude perpetuated by systemic misogyny.” Read on for his full insights.

Yes! As a bisexual person I have had so many people do this to my friends and my response is always "I can control myself!" Works great usually
He plagiarised his words. He hasn’t written any of it or credited his sources. Most of his content is verbatim what IG farida.d.author has written. Bored panda, please address this. This guy is not a feminist ally in the slightest.
Some people purposely own the word for themselves, defined for themselves. But you can't tell by someone's clothes whether or not they are one, want sex at that moment, want it with you, or anything else. And you're not entitled to a damn thing.
Load More Replies...yeah right, looking back at what prostitutes wore back in the days and what some women wear nowadays, right, saying "shes wearing like a prostitute" makes me a rapist
It’s really okay to not like any item of clothing. It’s not okay to think someone “looks like a s**t” just because you don’t like what she is wearing.
Load More Replies...Ty!! The fact that “so many women have an assault story” should make us be more careful not make us annoyed, it should make ppl control themselves instead of making fun of them.
I'm confused. What do you mean by "should make us be more careful not make us annoyed"?
Load More Replies...Everyone knows at least 1 woman who has been sexually assaulted or harassed in some way, and that needs to change. My mom, my aunt, my former supervisor, half of my female-bodied friends, my sister, and a couple of my cousins, and myself have all faced some kind of sexual assault or harrassment, and that's insane in and of itself so many people I know have their own stories.
This guy has stolen most of his content from feminist author Farida D. He takes her work and quotes it nearly word for word without giving her any credit. She has post proof on her Instagram @farida.d.author.
Hey just so you know, this guy is a big fraud, literally every single video of his is copied word by word from feminist writers like Farida and many others. He has become famous by copying the content of published authors word by word.
Many years ago (I'm 71) I took an informal poll of 15 girlfriends. They ALL had a story of molestation and usually it was from a family member or family friend. Danger Stranger isn't a stranger. I wonder if much has changed in the past 50 years.
Men just don't complain about theis as much, everyone should do better.
The video creator is optimistic and confident that social media can accelerate "substantive changes" in society if applied properly. "My videos have has an amazing reception in men reaching out to me for both helping them realize their role in the patriarchy and people who feel more comfortable being openly an ally to women’s struggles," Mohammed told Bored Panda.
And while he believes that we can all make "drastic changes in a single generation," he's also realistic about the fact that "full scale," substantive changes may require more time. "But I believe we live in a moment where revolutionary feminist politics can flourish," he said.
Mohammed also shared a bit more about himself and his aspirations. He has both a bachelor's and a master's degree in politics and will be continuing his studies. "I’m doing my PhD next year on sex workers and how neoliberalism has influenced the sex industry and the alienation of sex workers from their labor. From my degree, I’ve had chances to work with various political organizations—many of which were led by intelligent and inspiring women, many of which helped me into feminist discourse and even actively protesting for these causes."
It's so terrible that in our society girls feel that not being like other girls is something unique or not being shallow makes them not like other girls. Instead of realizing that every girl is not like other girls.
Load More Replies...The Che poster in these posts is quite ironic. Che was a racist, misogynic, homicidal, psychopath. His latin machismo is everything this post is against. But someone did take a really cool photograph of him once so it's all good.
Also the generalization "latin machismo" rings kind of racist itself.
Load More Replies...This one is key. I cannot stress enough how dangerous fragile egos can really be.
Speaking of history, shout out to everyone who thought it would be a great idea to invade Russia in winter. You really didnt think that through.
All wars were begun by men. All instances of genocide were caused by men. Need I continue?
Now there's an uncomfortable truth that society does not want to confront!
Oh yes, so weird that it is not logical conclusion to most people
so true! its unfair how people say "woman should be able to wear what they want" when they all hate on muslim women wearing a hijab or her preferred clothes. its her choice she can do what she wants and its no one else business. Of course some woman are forced to do this but thats the same with most religions and we shouldn't be hating on those who did it out of there free will.
I think its often hard to tell if it is free will or social and familial pressures though. And it is rooted in the idea that a woman's body is immodest, which is kinda disturbung
Load More Replies...The same people who object to Muslim women wearing hijabs have nothing to say about Catholic nuns wearing the exact same type of headwear.
My view about the hijab: I don't care what a woman wears, as long as she has access to education and a career. One of my former colleagues decided to wear a hijab when she was an adult. She also has a PhD in physics and wants to expand women's roles in Islam, such as having a say in mosques.
Well said, I think of Malala Yousafzai and her goal in establishing education as a rightful access for the young women of Afghanistan. More admirable entities such as Malala would do wonders.
Load More Replies...As long as it is really her choice... Without pressure from society or fear of rejection (or honor killing) etc.
I also don't understand that we can condemn a hijab but not nuns for wearing habits. Essentially the same thing, just dif religions.
One is her own choice and the other is forced on her by men and will be fined, beaten, whipped or imprisoned if she does not obey.
Load More Replies...Fair point. Waering a scarf over the head isn't a religious thing in my mom's family ---- it's just a way to keep your head dry and warm ---- but I can't do it since 9/11, b/c I get verbally attacked, and it's like, "FFS, it's my choice to wear this!"... *sigh*
True. But underage kids should not wear religious items. I wont be convinced otherwise. Kids arent old enough to consent to religion, to drive, to vote, to drink. They should not be forced religion, which is what always happens (in all religions not islam per se).
That's an interesting idea to me, as someone who isn't religious. But wouldn't you say teaching kids morals is important? If your religion is your basic guide for your morality, you're going to want your kids to learn early.
Load More Replies...OR their choice NOT to wear one, in any country. Also, equal rights!
Meanwhile, psychotherapist Silva explained to Bored Panda that toxic masculinity is “a set of distorted ideas about what men should be like,” noting that lying at the core of these ideas are the notions that men shouldn’t feel vulnerability, should “always be winners,” and shouldn’t be ‘weak’ or ‘soft.’
“Men with toxic masculinity usually have negative views towards women's rights (including their rights to the freedom of their own sexuality) and they tend to be homophobic,” Silva said.
If body hair is natures way of telling u that ur maturing, most men shouldn’t have body hair
As a woman I like how my smooth my shaved legs looks when I wear a sundress but if you tell me I am obligated to shave everytime U show skin,dear lord I am never wearing anything others than sweats.I have given up on skirts or shorts because of it ,I'll do it maybe once a year.My sister tells me it's unhygienic .Not SHAVING MY LEGS OR ANY BODY HAIR is UNHYGIENIC ???Wtf ,men only shave their facial hair once in a while?They are savages then.
Sadly, I just only realized this for myself. I also decided to let my mustache grow, because there is a reason I have it, so I better learn to love it. I am taking the first steps to loving myself
Of course this is the persons choice. As an afab person I do shave all/most of my body simply because having it there annoys me, not because it's "unnattractive"
Biologist believe the function of pubic hair and armpit hair is to trap pheromones . The places we have it are places we produce sexy smells. When everyone in your village lived before deodorant, these extra scents made you desirable.
*me never shaving my legs because I am scared of razor and I like my leg hair* (realizing I'm also a boy as well as a girl) dang it I'm cheating the system
Yea my parents both work and my dad also cooks and my mom cleans but we all help with what we can around the house
A colleague from a traditional culture (yup, gendered chores), told me that she was raising her three sons to help around the house. I told her, "Good, you're preparing them for the Canadian market. No one will want a man who can't help around the house." Plus her oldest son made the best brownies I've ever tasted!
I don't cook, my husband and children cringe if I even offer. My ocd doesn't let mess happen they all know I will throw everything in the trash even school clothes if they r on the floor.
Weather you're a guy, a girl or third gender......you have to know how to cook and clean, it's basic life skill.🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻
That's true. And what's also true is that in many relationships, the man still is the sole provider and the woman does house chores, etc. We're all free to choose, and it if the choice falls under a stereotype, there's nothing wrong with that.
There's a difference between a compliment and groping someone because "they are looking so sexy. "
Compliment a decision, not a physical feature. " I really like that dress" - complementing the person's taste choices. "I like how that dress looks on you" - this is a comment about their physical attributes, not the dress, and may be unwelcome. "Your happiness is infectious" - complementing their choice of attitude while "you are so pretty when you smile" is creepy. Also,. a woman doesn't owe you a smile.
This is so right and people need to be made more aware of it; it's not hard to choose to compliment someone for their choices rather than their body for example. It's not a compliment if you are only saying something to direct the conversation to your sexual attraction.
Load More Replies...Compliment: "You have a great attitude!" Not-Compliment: "If I say you have a sexy body, will you hold it against me, hur-hur."
I can't take a compliment for crap (unless muttering "thank you" counts). Then again, I don't listen to insults either, so there's that.
“A man with healthy masculinity is the opposite to these traits: someone who is self-reflective, embraces their emotions including sadness, anxiety and crying, a man who isn't afraid of their own femininity and believes that women are equal, and therefore are very clear about respecting boundaries and consent with women,” the psychotherapist explained the difference between followers of toxic and healthy masculinity.
According to the expert, healthy masculinity means that a person “embraces gender, sex, and relationship diversities including gay men and transgender people. Someone who is comfortable with their opinions to be challenged and able to have debates.”

this includes verbal, emotional as well as physical harrassment and assault.
no. A dude asking why I'm wearing suck a tight bra and trying to remove my binder so he can touch my boobs is assault.
Load More Replies...I've experienced this so many times... as someone who isn't conventionally attractive, I've watched so many men treat better looking women more respectfully, it's insane.
But it's fake respect. They probably have motives.
Load More Replies...Same with only respecting women once you have a daughter. Like, you only see women as humans now that you can relate them to your kids? Gross
The other half of that statement is, “and once they’re ‘reformed’ and have the thinnest veneer of being a better person, they dump the woman who invested her time and effort in them, and ‘trade up’ to someone who used to be out of their league”.
a partner of either sex can make a better person out of some otherwise damaged goods. My wife makes me a better person because she gives me somebody other than myself to care about. On the other hand some people (of either sex) are just human stains who are beyond redemption. edit: almost every good thing I know about being a husband and father I had to teach myself. You don't have to be a woman to be on the short end of this stick.
There is definitely a different between helping someone grow as a person and having to teach them how to treat others humanely. All of our relationships should make us better ppl but like you said, some ppl are just not nice ppl.
Load More Replies...The idea of "fixing" a guy is not something that women should be romanticizing so much!
Omg,she's such an angel,she turned that devil for a man to a saint.Wtf.Get f****d.
Load More Replies...Communication goes both ways and we can learn from each other. However, there are limits. Sure, a spouse can urge someone to change (I urged my husband to quite smoking) but one can't "make them change" (He was willing to try it after me why I wanted him to quit. I explained, "I love you and I don't want you to get sick"). I didn't appreciate it when my husband's family yelled to me, "Make him quit!" Don't make one spouse totally responsible for the other. I feel blessed that he quit smoking, but he gets credit for it, too.
Men and women are rehabilitators, if they love enough, and if they want to.
People can't change people. People act and continue to act the way they're going to act. They may try for a while change for a while but generally unless there's a spiritual transformation people remain the same.
In Sweden we have a kind of a police-saying that 3 things can change a man who has been to prison and keep him from going back there. Money, faith or women. The money part probably means more like getting a steady income to be proud of rather than having your robbed money hidden away. And the woman part... nobody every said that it is womens responsibility to change a man, but they can because they can give a man a purpose in life. Especially if it is a woman that the man really wants. This is the conclusions of our most respected criminology professor Leif GW Persson that this is true. Single men are more often causing trouble than married ones previous experiences predict. But rest assured. I firmly believe that some horrible men have to do their part and become a decent person before anyone should give them a chance. There are just to many men who abuse their women and in those cases women need to leave and not try to fix them because it is pretty much not possible. If he hit you once he will hit you again with pretty much 100% certainty
A Male professor concluded that Men need Women to be the Adults for them because Men can't be held responsible for their own Bullsh*t?! I, for one, am shocked.
Load More Replies...According to ‘Medical News Today,’ an overly large emphasis on toxic masculinity can result in aggression, suppressing emotions, the need to dominate and control others, and a lack of empathy. What’s more, it can result in a tendency to either engage in violence or glorify it, lead to chauvinism, and can even bring about acts of sexual aggression.
Meanwhile, the inability to live up to these standards and expectations that society places on men can have some very negative consequences as well. For example, somebody who isn’t ‘manly enough’ might become the victim of bullying at school (though that behavior can and does continue on into college and even work).
THIS! That's been my theory all along why homophobic men hate gays. They know how men treat, and they themselves, treat women, and they are scared to be treated the same way.
No wonder I regularly get questioned by people for loving Pink and having it in my top 3 colors. 😆
Or they don't want to be treated as less of a man by other men or women who are atracted to masculine types. Being feminine doesn't result in you being treated like women, but it has it's own disadvantages.
I don't think it's that exactly, but toxic masculinity is still horrendous and we have to normalize effeminate males.
THIS.... Who says "Oh, your house was robbed, how stupid you are to have a house"? Nobody.
Also, it is the fault of other who look at the leaked nudes who give people an audience to share it to. No one should ever look at someone's leaked nudes, it's as bad as peeping into their house and seeing them naked.
This analogy needs some fixes but I get what he’s trying to say, it would be better to say if you don’t want to slip and crack your head open, font do parkour in the shower 😁
Take Your nud3s, download them to a safe unit You can keep in a safe place just for Your pleasure. That's all.
There is something to the adage, "If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it."
My amazing BF is a feminist. I know a lot of guys who describe themselves as feminists.
Me too - most of them are just saying it to get laid, though.
Load More Replies...Actually - too many do... they can spend years regretting it. They keep getting lured in - the guys look different but they act the same. It's scary.
What’s more, some people who can’t reach these standards feel a lot of pressure in their lives and turn to substance abuse as a way of coping. Society’s reaction to a person not being ‘manly enough,’ can lead to stress, psychological trauma, depression, issues with one’s body image, and can even force men to take their own lives.
Furthermore, toxic masculinity as a whole can also prevent some men from going to a doctor or healthcare specialist if they’re feeling unwell. That’s because some consider it to be ‘unmanly’ to ask for help. Similarly, men who subscribe to extremely traditional beliefs are also less likely to see professional mental help and tend to repress these emotions.
So healthy masculinity, the kind that Mohammed propagates in his videos, helps society as a whole: it gives men a different perspective on women’s issues and it also provides them with a broader perspective on masculine values. Everyone comes out a winner and society improves (at least by a little bit).
Been there. I no longer let men buy me drinks and I always pay at least my half on dates. So many dudes seem to think if they pay then they are entitled to sex. Like ok, if I buy you a drink am I entitled to you changing the oil in my car? (Only using oil change as an example bc it’s often seen as a “manly” thing. I can actually do it myself 😜). I think whoever asks for the date should pay. Or whoever wants to pay should pay.
That is exactly how the Bible story of the angel visiting Mary sounds to me. The angel never even gave her a chance to consent. She agreed because she didn't have a choice.
What happened to owing our own actions? Crappy move on the mans behalf. Wrong move by the woman.
Years back, a young man said, "I'll bet women want men to be their slaves after all they crap they go through with them." I said "Nope, equals."
I can't remember the quote exactly or who said it. "We're lucky women want equality and not revenge", basically sums that idea up.
Load More Replies..."I feel like we should stop calling feminists "feminists" and just start calling people who aren't feminist "sexist". You are either a normal person or a sexist."
I get the joke. (I'm a mineral water drinking woman.)
Load More Replies...True for many women, but some women definitely want it both ways, equality only when it benefits them
Yes, and studied it for a minor in university. Feminism has many forms, b/c each woman makes it her own ----- the essence of feminism is freedom to choose one's path if female.
Load More Replies...Depends whether it's radical feminism connected with misandry or regular feminism
"Boys will be boys" used to refer to kids getting muddy outside or some s**t. Now it refers to men raping women.
Even the original usage makes me sad because it kind of says that that type of behavior is just a boy thing when I do that stuff too and I feel like it only gets appreciated when boys act funny like that.
Load More Replies..."Boys will be boys" means boys climbing on top of Dad's car because he wants to be king of the world. "Boys will be boys" does NOT mean pulling her hair and making her cry because he likes her.
Yes yes yes a million times yes, why do we have to sit around and just bare what men do
I think saying “boys will be boys” does a disservice to men. This is society telling you guys that you are worse than animals and can’t control yourself. If my dog peed on the rug I wouldn’t say “dogs will be dogs”. Because I know she is an intelligent creature and can be taught to go outside.
also "if he's bugging you he likes you" well sorry i don't care if he likes me! he needs to stop chasing me and leave me alone!
"Boys will be boys" should not mean they shouldn't be held accountable, I wish people would understand that it means a child will be playful and mischievous
It's been used to excuse too much predatory behavior at this point, unfortunately.
Load More Replies...That she’s supposed to throw you a goddamn parade because you did something ordinary that you’re supposed to do anyway, and not something extraordinarily wonderful.
the nice guys who complain about not being wanted have other aspects that are undesirable.
Anyone who feels they have to TELL you that they're a "nice guy" not a "nice guy".
True. But on the other hand: Barney Stinson and Glenn Quagmire might be fictional characters, they're closer to reality than you might think. I know a guy who had sex with over 250 women in his lifetime (he's 38 now) Nothing to be jeleous of, it's all out of psychological issues. But so many times women said they hated his guts but after a few drinks went home with him. Spending time with him really made me see that indeed quite often girls are attrackted to bad guys. But if it's a good basis for a healthy relationship is a whole different question altogether.
I am told that not wanting my picture taken is wrong. If my brother Saud he didn't want to be in the picture, my parents would be okay with it. When I say the same thing, they force me to smile and look pretty. Then they laugh because I can't smile right, and that's because I rarely have a real smile. Then they wonder why I hate me
That is so disrespectful on their part. Plus they're pretty much telling your brother that he can treat you the same way. Not everyone likes to have their picture taken.
Load More Replies...Respecting someone as an equal also means being able to hold them accountable for crappy behaviour the same way they can hold you accountable for yours. Accepting women as full human beings also means they can have bad personatity traits just like men.
And btw you can be a strong respectable person and still be warm and friendly. (goes for both men and women of course)
Load More Replies...Shouldn't all people be kind, friendly and warm? how does this change the definition of 'dramatic'? drama is drama.
What he says could not be clearer. Everyone understands what he is saying. Except for you, apparently.
Load More Replies...Also, consent can be withdrawn. Even mid-act (although it's important to point out that withdrawing consent must be done so he understands - men are not psychic and do not pick up on vague hints (especially mid-act))
And yet, you can yell STOP IT! STOP IT! and punch the guy, and he won't stop. *sigh*
Load More Replies...The best analogy I ever heard for withdrawing consent was this: You offer someone a cup of tea. They accept it. They taste it, have a few sips, maybe more than a few. Then they decide they no longer feel like having tea. They are in no way obligated to keep drinking that tea. It doesn't mean your tea isn't any good. Perhaps they will want some tea later, or perhaps they would like coffee instead. Or maybe, they just aren't thirsty right now.
The tea analogy is really the best way to explain consent.
Load More Replies...The first man I ever slept with paused, looked me in the eyes, and said to me "Are you really sure you want to do this?". It was sweet and sexy bc he was being truly caring. We were only 16
I've said it once, I'll say it again: Sex and intimacy is way more fun when both parties are into it
Also the term "consent is sexy" I mean I get it and it's fun, but it's not "sexy" it's a basic human right and respecting it is just common decency
This guy has stolen most of his content from feminist author Farida D. He takes her work and quotes it nearly word for word without giving her any credit. She has post proof on her Instagram @farida.d.author. This post is her work.
I can't remember what it was, but I read a book where there is a romance subplot and whenever he'd go to kiss or hug the girl, the guy would ask. Normalize that.
So true! I decided to read books only by female authors as an experiment, and discovered a world of difference. Female antagonists weren't bitches doing evil for no reason; they had plots and character arcs. It's really shortened the list of male I authors I will read - because they write women well. (Stephen King, Max Gladstone, Neal Schusterman, Patrick Ness.) I'm not saying all women are better writers, just that many don't approach women characters in such a stereotypical way.
This! I basically grew up wishing I was a guy because all the male characters I saw in media were cool and diverse and the females were only basic and hot, which wasnt me at all.
Omg this! As a gamer girl it’s super annoying for any female character because she’s always super attractive, thin, has DDD’s, and basically wears bra and underwear as her outfit even though she’s likely some sort of warrior. Because that’s what women warriors do clearly 🙄
Got that right. Even when the female character is in a leadership position she is portrayed as constantly doubting herself and in emotional turmoil. Only time I didn't see that was the character Ripley in Alien.
YES. The first female characters I loved were Hermione and Luna. Guess what the author is a women. Who knows how we feel. Most of the female characters that I dislike are written by men.
Actually I get scolded for this at work. I'm a big believer in no means no. But in the sales world that means you aren't "overcoming objections" I told my boss I'll take every write up they want to throw my way. If someone says without any reservations "i don't want that product" I drop it. They're mad that I only "overcome" in situations like "I'm not sure" "Ok well if you don't mind let me point out some other benefits you may have missed".
No means no. Funny thing is it sounds the same in several languages
it only means convince her when you're trying to convince her to go in a bakery with you to get some cake (or other harmless activities) (and even then be respectful)
Another massive generalisation, even though I understand the message here.
If you think women have to be domineering manipulators to be considered equal you are a demon worshipper.
If you’re complacent for a rapist friend, then you’re no better than your friend.
also, i find it that its more often in place to keep teachers from being "distracted" (if you get what i mean) because in reality, how many guys get distracted by what a girl wears compared to a teacher getting on the students back every 5 seconds because their skirt is too short by half a centimeter
I get what you mean. Nabokov wrote a book about it. Sting wrote a song about it.
Load More Replies...ok, this angers me to no end. you literally would not believe how upset I am at these types of comments, because as a girl, it IS really unfair. I remember my first day in a new school in third grade. I had just moved there, and I was really excited. It was still summer, so I was wearing a tank top. They dress-coded me telling me that no spaghetti straps were allowed. It was not a spaghetti strap. It was almost a t-shirt. (You know those sleeves that come to the edge to the shoulder? that is what I was wearing) On the other hand, the boys were wearing very low-cut sleeved basketball jerseys and did not get dress-coded at all. I could literally see their belly button. It just gets me so riled up at how unfair this world is.
If people are getting distracted by young girls shoulders, I think that person may have issues...
Load More Replies...Dress codes prioritize boys' learning over girls. Girls have their learning interrupted so they can go home and get changed, all so that boys don't pop a boner.
The fact that it takes a man to say these things for people to actually understand what it’s like when women have been saying the same things for years is just disappointing
yep. seing a woman dress sexy would not makes me make inapropriate things. woman watch men when they are hot and they won't jump on them or follow them around. it's not that hard to 'control' ourselve... even there... why people have "to control themself" when they saw a beautiful woman...
Isn’t it funny how women never care what mean wear? It’s always women’s clothes that are the problem
Weirdly enough, it’s the guys who get dresscoded more at my (very Catholic) school.
agree, wish all law officers and lawyers read this..at least some will understand
NOPE. Lying about rape is on par with rape. Especially when it damages the credibility of actual victims. A black kid here had a white girl friend. When her redneck dad found out he became a "rapist." He went to jail and was probably treated like a rapist in jail (rapist are one small notch above child molesters in prison) His college scholarship was rescinded. His life was ruined. Because of a lie. Western juris prudence ALWAYS requires the presumption of innocence.
He'd probably lose his s**t and cry like a baby because he's here just fishing for likes and fame. And even if it might not happen often miscarriage of justice is never acceptable and even Aunt Messy wouldn't be so happy to dismiss it if she was on trial to be convicted for something she didn't do no matter horrible the crime is.
Load More Replies...I think that's a good point. Evidence still needs to be gathered, but the memes saying "women who lie about rape should be prosecuted" or however that usually goes seems to be more about keeping women quiet than punishing a crime.
So, a woman recently said that turtleneckemo groomed her. I always knew he was a pick me.
What about innocent until proven guilty? I mean sure since it's hard to proof you can have doubts when it seems clear but treating innocent person like rapist is bad as well.
Depends on what sl*t means I would definitely try to teach my child not to cheat on her/his partners.
When ... as a 12/13 year old girl ... you're scared, because you have to pass a major construction site for months, on your way to school. 1985 ... at first I giggled, because (silly me) thought, it was kind of "cool". I just didn't know any better. After a while the whistles turned into yelling, then inappropriate remarks ... and then sexual harassment and insults, for not responding. I was physically developed early ... but I had a f*****g school backpack on my back!
Sorry, but both can be true. We should stop passing judgment on people when we don't know ALL of the facts. Not including violence of any sort. Never acceptable by either party.
Ask her she was reading a satanic bible and plotting to empty the bank account so she would move on to the next victim. I stuck her with the bill there was no money in the bank.
Literally. Nudist camp/beach exist and nobody is raping anyone there, so exposure isn't the cause of rape clearly.
Yes! I don't think I've ever heard of an assault happening in that situation, so obviously state of dress isn't a cause.
Load More Replies...Yes. I always say this. It's not the dress. I read one person's FB post that said women should dress modestly (they should be covered) and then gave an example of chocolates ( if a chocolate falls you pick the one that is wrapped not the one that is unwrapped as it is dirty now). This was years ago and I know that this mentality is not dead.
Did they seriously compare a woman to a freaking piece of candy?! .... *gets out whetstone and hunting knife* I thought that one died in the 1980s when I was a kid!.
Load More Replies...You could be having intercourse and one could say no and that is ok
Had to make that point with my mother. She grew up with the mentality that if a woman was dressed nice, out late at night without an escort, she must have been "asking for it". I explained to her that the only person who should touch you without consent, even if you walked down the street naked, should be the cops taking you to the psych ward.
Did that to her, when she started to play head games I cut her off and waited until she started screwing around so I could dump her with no regrets. She was a continual liar and game player, this time she lost her own game, she was labelled as the crap she really was.
A topic that you can't joke about is no topic to take seriously. You don't have to find it funny, but those who do will probably not laugh at your jokes either. Most people who can laugh at horrible jokes are better people than those who gets triggered by a joke. I'm talking from the perspective of comedians and stand up comedians, but I can agree that dark humor or political humor for example does not belong in a work place for instance
My dad and his poker buddies, at our house, while I (the youngest female in the house) was tasked with serving them food and drink.
Load More Replies..."Not all men..." Of course. But if you're not one of those men, you have a duty to educate the ones who ARE.
No. As much of a duty or not a duty as every other gender.
Load More Replies...One of the other pictures above mention that its no a womans responsibility to make a man better. Its his own responsibility. Why then should good men be responsible for making other good men? Shouldn't they all be responsible for themselves?
I don't think he means that it's the job of good men to seek out the bad ones and school them. It's more about men calling out bad behavior when they see it. Hanging out with the guys and your friend makes a misogynistic joke? Tell him you don't think it's at all funny.
I don't hang around with rapists oddly enough, how am I responsible for making them better people while the "justice" system fails victims on a daily basis?
educate bad guys??? just call them to account. No one else's job except the parents when young..
This needs to be much higher. The opposite of love isn't hate, its indifference. To paraphrase John Stewart Mill, all evil needs to do to reach its goals is to have good people look on and do nothing.
Their isn't one type of feminism any more. You're going to have to be more specific.
Feminism is just another word for trying to control what shouldn't be controlled. Most feminists I have ever met don't want equality they want to do what they want and look for some spineless excuse to suck up the abuse. Abuse is abuse no matter what side it comes from. Maybe some people should stop quoting garbage out of context and learn.
Grown, mature women, that is. Because your problem with female body hair indicates a preference for those who are too young to grow any.
I find it funny that some people think it's unhygienic for women to have body hair, but ok for men. Like you don't think women bathe?
Hey just so you know, this guy is a big fraud, literally every single video of his is copied word by word from feminist writers like Farida and many others. He has become famous by copying the content of published authors word by word.
Sorry, but that is denying there is no difference between men and women. Just because we are different, doesn't mean either should be treated disrespectful. It is ok to have a preference. Understanding that she/he doesn't have to meet your preferences is called being a mature adult.
Not sure on this. I'm a woman and don't like to see women with hairy pits and legs. Each to their own. Doesn't mean I hate women though
Ya your issue is with woman not body hair Unless you don’t like to see men with hairy pits and legs Also .. what other people look like is none of your business

"'Daddy issues' is always an insult to the girl, when its actually the man who failed as a father."
I def have daddy issues. My father was completely emotionally unavailable. (I honestly think he's on the spectrum, which would explain A LOT) ...I didn't realize the damage I carried around from that for ages. Lost my virginity to a married guy, became obsessed with a guy dude in college and fell head over heels in love with a heroin addict. Ap'ly it's not just addition of bad that just f*cks you up, it's the absence of good.
Load More Replies...Imagine being scarred for life after having a terrible father then being told you're being dramatic about it and then discover people dig that s**t.
It scares me, to be sure. I don't have a good relationship with my dad. He was never there on any important birthdays: my literal birth, my 10th, my 18th, probably won't be there for 21 either.

You either worship truth or the lie. He made them. He made her and him not the other way around.
He is literally talking to the people who need to hear it. It isn't our fault if they refuse to listen.
He should’ve said ur either an equalist or ur on the wrong side of history because then it just sounds like he’s siding even though feminism is equality it still sounds weird
Indeed. Just like when George W. Bush started his war on terror he said: "You're either with us or you're against us." As if not supporting the war meant supporting the terrorists

Load More Replies...THIS. Just yesterday me and a friend were discussing this... all the things guys do regularly on a normal day or night out in the pub or club when we are just minding our own business... The old hand on your hip to get past (my arm is closer), squeezing past just a little too closely, pinching or feeling our bum at the bar when you think we can't see you, staring at our tits (yes, even when they're covered up) and that's before we even start getting to the ones who can't take rejection well... Don't get me wrong, I understand bars are traditionally a place to meet people, being chatted up politely is not a problem (I politely explain I'm married, they're cool, I'm cool, everybody's cool). No drama. But for the love of God JUST. STOP. TOUCHING. US. 🙈

another thing is why do men pick up women and carry them around like a baby. that is cavemen stuff.
I've been lucky that rape jokes about women are frowned on for the most part. I've spoken up about jokes about men being raped in prison. It has not gone well, with people accusing me of siding with criminals. I'm all for locking them up for public safety, but not in favour of torture. I'll have to keep calling people out, but it's discouraging.
Deeply held beliefs don't die in a heartbeat. Keep planting the seeds of change ,and hope that they will sprout.
Load More Replies...If anyone ever tells you a rape joke.. Ask them to explain which part of it funny. Most people can't when they start thinking about what they actually are saying.
This is as true when you're asked to explain any joke though. If someone doesn't have any humour, it's difficult to tell them what is funny. It is like trying to explain colors to a colorblind.
Load More Replies...Hey just so you know, this guy is a big fraud, literally every single video of his is copied word by word from feminist writers like Farida and many others. He has become famous by copying the content of published authors word by word.
Doesn't it depend on the joke? I mean, if rape or misogyny are only the subject of the joke, then the target can be rapists and misogynists. And they kind of deserve all the mockery we can throw at them.
I can't believe people celebrate leaked nudes. When nudes of Chris Evans were leaked, I knew anyone looking at those was looking at his body without consent, which is what women have been fighting for for so long. It's downright creepy and wrong to look at someone's body without their consent.
n00ds are bad if they are non-consensual. that's it. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Load More Replies...And there is the crux of the matter. In most cultures on Earth, women are perceived by men as property - to obey, be used, and abused. Neither women nor men are property. That's called slavery. Many cultural ideals (marriage, children, fidelity) are based on inequality and the denigration of women. Listening to the possession phrases in 20th-century popular songs will reveal the toxic cultural norms we have to overcome. (Be my baby, you're mine, you belong to me, I gotta have you, etc.)
why an able bodied woman would expect a man to pull out a chair and let her go first out of an elevator and even open a car door is just unnecessary..We are not helpless creatures and that sort of courtesy is rather useless..
Would you consider hitting woman justifiable in sitution when it's justifiable to hit a man? I don't know but most of us wouldn't and it's also it's own kind of inequality.
the problem is not the gender. it is always "do not hit a person weaker than you, fight your equal" . woman is usually physically smaller and weaker that is why it is more acceptable for a man to hit a man than hitting a woman , a child , an elderly or a physically weaker man. I dont know if you heard about that case that happened a few years ago in Bratslava when a huge nazi hit a tiny filipino and he died due to his injuries. a similar situation.
Load More Replies...If someone is behind me as I go through a door I will hold it open for them. It doesn't matter whether it is a man or woman, young or old, black or white. Almost every time I get a thank you. I have been chastised twice by women before for doing it. One time she just stopped in her tracks and stared at me with the stink eye. I shrugged my shoulders and went on my way. When the door closed behind me she proceeded through. WTF? Older folks and black folks always say thank you.
Huh? 1. How is it women’s choice? 2. How is it decency? 3. If it’s decency then it doesn’t have the same meaning as chivalry.
Chivalry ain't even about women; there's precisely ONE line in the code for it. The rest is combat etiquette and rules of war. Toxic masculinity has right using the word.
Some men do it because it's the right thing to do, not to score points. Sorry, disagree with you on this one.
It’s not “ the right thing to do”,it’s to be considered as a rather “nice” man

The other upside is worse. How much does he make, what does he drive, does he own a house, look at those muscles. The older women are teaching the younger ones to act like whores with their poor attitudes. Then when they do act that way and get called on it the man is unfair; total crap.
"I'm okay with generalism when it suits me". This guy is an idiot. The very definition of feminism is the advocacy of equal rights with men for females. Being ok with a woman calling ALL men trash, is no longer seeking equal rights as it becomes biased to one side. It would be like saying "all women are men haters" because some women hate men. dumb.
While this makes sense, until you ask how do you know? They don’t exactly look diffrent
The problem isn’t asking. The problem is not respecting the answer.

i am.curious how will this end in different languages. in my language we do not have gender neutral pronouns. we do have one, but this is more related to objects so i wouldnt use it on ppl as i would find it even more offensive than he/she. i guess our linguists should come up with a new pronoun altogether
We just need more pronouns. Male pronouns should reveal marriage status if women's do. Alternately, why do we need pronouns that reveal gender or marital status? How about one pronoun for everyone.
Angry dogs this is your problem you should learn to be a better person instead of a badly raised one
Feminism is women having the same rights and opportunities as men meaning we women can do whatever we want, so if u want to cook clean and take care of the children go ahead because you can do whatever you desire and that is the true definition of equality.

@angrydope, you are correct, females are the obvious next evolutionary step.
Females/Males evolved over 2 billion years ago. I've never met a sexist rose bush and my dog loves you regardless of your gender. If your dog doesn't like men its probably because it was taught that way or its reacting to being hurt before. If you think men are better than women or women are better than men its also because you were probably taught that way or its a reaction to being hurt. You can still choose to not react that way.
Load More Replies...@angrydoge. My apologies. Your view on feminism seems to be wildly askew. Perhaps you have been taught, or have been listening to people say that “men suck” is what feminism is about. I beg you not to listen to this. Feminism is another word for equality, Malala Yousafzai said. I am a feminist and I do not hate men. I think that men and women should be equal, just like you said. Maybe change that mindset and come back later. Thank you.
@anngrydoge the last f*****g phrase u said is the literal definition of feminism u dumbfuck
@angry doge It makes me ashamed that people of my same religion are like this. Sorry, guys.
i feel like people want me dead now :( i apologize for not knowing much.
Us feminists don't want you dead. We want you to think differently about how your world view can change and be better for everyone.
Load More Replies...Feminism isn't about saying that men suck. Men definitely don't suck. However, men who don't respect women suck. Plenty of women invented things you're using daily. And lastly, if you think women and men should be equal, then congrats - you're a feminist.

Hey! This so called "feminist" guy has been stealing the work of ACTUAL feminists like Farida.d.author,etc for clout. He also has accusations of grooming women (17-18) right after they turn 18. He has done all of this only for clout and has 0 intentions to uplift women or to voice out their problems.

Please bring this article down or update it.

You're right it totally shouldn't, bust since a lot of men won't believe something is serious unless a man says it is I'm glad men like him exist. I mean how long had women been complaining about Cosby before a male comedian decided he wasn't going to keep pretending the guy wasn't a rapist?
