It was very funny, and unfortunately true in some circles thankefully less widespread. However there are some men like my human who appointed women supervisors in previously all male positions, supported women as political candidates 20 years ago, and realize that mentally and capabilities wise men and women are equal take REAL Offense. They pioneered women’s rights when it was hard to do just not lip-service. His comment was very, very funny I just hate to see the sterotype perpetuated in any manner.

Sandysays1 – You make an excellent point. My father was actually the one who led me to feminism. I have the deepest admiration for him in this and many other regards. I’m not insinuating by posting this video that there are not men like him “out there.”
My general feeling though, is the he is still in the minority. I posted this video to make a point about/to the majority. (even though it will probably only be viewed by the people who already appreciate it)
Someday, when inequality is the exception, not the rule, then I will remove this video, so as to not perpetuate the stereotype you mentioned. For now though, I prefer to laugh at this video, because it is better than getting really ticked off. Thanks for your comments!
