Marina Watanabe discusses why feminism focuses on the oppression of women. The pursuit of gender equality does not mean that the word and ideals of feminism are exclusionary of men. In fact, feminism does address how patriarchy affects people of all genders. The comments on this video alone prove why feminism is relevant. People are critiquing Watanabe’s education (yes as in the fact that she’s educated) and her looks (including the perceived problem of a woman wearing a nose ring). All of the gendered insults at women who write supportive comments about the video are also revealing.

HOW CAN ANYONE SAY THEY ARE ABOUT GENDER EQUALITY AND ONLY FOCUS ON THE ISSUES OF ONE? (anime rage voice)

The Other Sociologist She said women are a minority, and they’re not. They’re also about as oppressed as Barack Obama.

RandomHelpingGuy Women are considered a minority in social status, as men have more political and economic power. Your nonsensical comparison to Barack Obama suggests there’s racism motivating you as well as sexism. I’ve had a look at your personal stream and I see a lot of misogyny, including rape jokes. I don’t engage with trolling. Good luck to you as you work through your misaligned anger towards women.

I know exactly what you mean. Men can not only have a nose ring, but tattoos all over their face and surgically implanted horns and people still treat them with respect and consideration, but a woman gets a nose ring and her arguments are immediately discounted.

Thanks for your comment Torquemadia Agreed, there are many double standards about men and women’s appearance and the way they’re treated. The value of what people say has nothing to do with how they look.

You clearly do not value women MrBreakdownBoy. You’ve made a series of hateful over-generalisations about women that amount to what Michael Kimmel calls aggrieved entitlement (http://buff.ly/1qemTgv). I don’t accept misogyny on my threads so that’s the end of your silly tirade.

Torquemadia You seem really angry at women for no reason. Your comments reflect aggrieved entitlement (http://buff.ly/1qemTgv). While it’s nice that you plussed your own comment, unfortunately for you, I don’t allow your abusive comments on my threads, and here you’ve returned twice over two days to write misogynistic abuse. You’re not welcome back.
