Okay, Jung, what do you want me to say? "You are right. What was I thinking? Women should just suck it up and continue to accept a second-class citizenship, along with all the perks like an average of $.75 for every dollar men earn, objectification, not really being taken seriously by anyone, for any reason. Women should just be quiet and good, be seen and not heard. They don't need to experience the same life choices and opportunities as men. Feminists suck. They are the source of all modern ills. Men are the best. They rock the hizzouse."

Seriously! A) Editing magic can make anyone seem any way they want. No one but the people who are there on a reality show will ever know the whole story. B) With that in mind, could it be that maybe, just maybe this stand-up, accomplishing guy was both -- a good hunter/gatherer, and a sexist pig? and most importantly C) I do not agree with your leap from "men are being bashed" to "fault of the feminist movement" plain and simple. I see your point, but I do not agree that the one is the direct result of the other. I disagree with your motive for blaming the women's movement for society's current ills, specifically, (apparently,) the "degradation" of the modern man.

You know you're not the first person to do that, don't you? I'm sorry that women's empowerment appears to make you so very uncomfortable. I don't like the direction this discussion is taking, and quite frankly, am not interested in pursuing your line of reasoning. Your opinion seems to me to be far too blame-oriented and completely one-sided to be pursued.
