Comments on The Boyfriend's Introduction to Feminism

Odd because it’s such a short video. And she was pretty immediately clear about not thinking it was romantic. E.g. she used past tense, laughed at her old foolish idea, etc.

Even doing a hasty reply it seems like it would be worth it to verify your claims about the contents of a one minute video before making those claims. I guess I see that as a sort of baseline expectation so I find it odd/noteworthy when someone doesn’t do it.

I don’t really agree, and more importantly I think you could reasonably guess that she doesn’t agree either. Most people in western culture disagree with you here, right? So you shouldn’t project your opinions as underlying their statements?

Sure, but…

You were bringing it up in context as something very closely related (“not first-line exactly” and “clearly irresponsible reliance”). I think my questions make sense in that light.

I don’t really understand this.

Just so we’re on the same page, here are some of the comments I noticed:

Walking demons

“She is damaged beyond repair”

I am pro choice and this disgusts me. Joking about abortions shows you have no heart or soul.

God have mercy on their souls

Funny how those baby’s who died aren’t laughing

When these two are alone at night they cry with fear.

How on earth have they got away with this terrible behaviour/ talk without any backlash from the media etc.

These are the kind of people we should never give any platform to now or any time in the future.

She’s a horror.

This is absolutely disgusting

So there both seral killers then???

You are broadly in favor of abortion, but you aren’t able/willing to make a judgment about those comments in comparison to someone getting 5 abortions over ~20 years of sexual activity? You do not think these comments are a problem?

Also, I have no idea how the left is just as bad or worse. Do you mean just as bad/worse at commenting about abortion? At online comments in general? At public discourse? I am not sure what you’re referring to there, or how it is relevant.
