2. 0:13let's use domestic violence as an
3. 0:16example and it's not just a failure of
4. 0:19feminism it's a failure of our culture a
5. 0:23battered woman huddled in a dark corner
6. 0:26who's obviously been savaged by a man is
7. 0:30a much more attractive fundraising item
8. 0:33in this culture a picture of a guy that
9. 0:36speed up might be a comedy gag it might
10. 0:40be something that people laugh at we
11. 0:41frequently do the money is in female
12. 0:46victims because our culture is exactly
13. 0:50the opposite of what feminists have
14. 0:52always claimed it is it is a culture
15. 0:54that values the problems of women that
16. 0:56is concerned with them that wants to
17. 0:58send people in to rescue women when
18. 1:01they're victims and when they're having
19. 1:02problems so feminists have have taken
20. 1:05that very concept and they created an
21. 1:08industry that only recognizes the
22. 1:12money-making victims and and it's it it
23. 1:17may even seem extreme to counts things
24. 1:19in these terms but that's what I believe
25. 1:20is really happen there's not a lot of
26. 1:23empathy for a guy that gets beat up I
27. 1:25hear from in every day who have been
28. 1:28victims of domestic violence in their
29. 1:30relationships we have writers in a voice
30. 1:33for men who have a history of be either
31. 1:35being abused by their mothers or by
32. 1:37spouses it goes on all the time when
33. 1:41they went to seek help
34. 1:42they were either arrested as the
35. 1:44perpetrator or laughed at by police they
36. 1:47found that there was no social services
37. 1:49really designed for them there may have
38. 1:51been some crisis counselor willing to
39. 1:53talk for them and tell them yeah that's
40. 1:55really rough but we don't have much else
41. 1:57for you the reason that feminists have
42. 2:01succeeded so wildly at perpetuating this
43. 2:06myth that only women are victims is
44. 2:09because that's what our culture wants to
45. 2:10hear we want to hear about
46. 2:12women that are abused and harmed so that
47. 2:18we can create resources to go in and
48. 2:21save them
49. 2:21we're generally not interested in the
50. 2:24struggles of men and I absolutely oppose
51. 2:27what them and has had done with
52. 2:29legislation like bla WA with the
53. 2:32Violence Against Women Act how it's
54. 2:35written the way it's couched in gender
55. 2:37specific terms throughout the
56. 2:39legislation for how the money is
57. 2:41distributed I disagree with what
58. 2:43feminist groups did here in California
59. 2:45which was I think it was the the
60. 2:48National Organization for men against
61. 2:49sexism which is a group of feminists men
62. 2:52that filed an amicus brief when
63. 2:57California was being sued to start
64. 2:59providing services for male victims of
65. 3:01domestic violence Nome is stepped in
66. 3:04with lawyers and other people stepped in
67. 3:07and prevented a successful conclusion to
68. 3:10that lawsuit because they were concerned
69. 3:13that giving resources and services to
70. 3:16men would take resources and services
71. 3:19away from women as though we're all a
72. 3:21zero-sum game and that if one won the
73. 3:24other lost the problem for me goes back
74. 3:28to cultural misandry it is an
75. 3:31understanding that we don't value the
76. 3:35paint of men we don't want to see it we
77. 3:36don't want to hear about it we're
78. 3:37embarrassed by it people are
79. 3:40uncomfortable with this sort of thing
80. 3:42and so it's not much of a moneymaker and
81. 3:45I think feminists have recognized that
82. 3:47and they have played their hand well at
83. 3:49creating an industry that only
84. 3:51recognizes female victims it's because
85. 3:54this is what our culture has handed them
86. 3:55on a silver platter
