when the Canadian

association for equality

hosted a discussion titled

"from misogyny and misandry

to intersexual dialogue."

F*** the patriarchy!

Women hold up half the sky!

Women hold up half the sky!

Women hold up half the sky!

Women hold up half the sky!

A feminist group

protesting the event

illegally pulled the fire alarm

and successfully

shut down the event.

Okay, let's go.

We got a fire alarm!

Once outside the lecture hall,

feminist protesters

and men's rights activists

got to speak face to face.

So, number one.

Number one!

Shut the f*** up for a second.

Feminists do not want you to

lose custody of your children.

The assumption that women

are naturally better caregivers

is part of patriarchy.

Feminists do not like

commercials

in which bumbling dads

mess up the laundry

and competent wives have

to bustle in and fix it.

The assumption that women...

This is a list

of the things

that we're working toward.

Now if you would

shut the f*** up

for the 50th billionth time...

These are things

we agree on, actually.

These are things

that we're agreeing on,

and these are things you've all

got skewed f***ing views on.

You think that feminists are trying

to take away your f***ing rights,

but as a matter of fact,

what we're trying to do

is we're actually trying to work on the

same things that you're working on,

except the fact

that you're so...

You're just too busy

hating women...

You're a f***ing hate group.

You can't see we're trying to

work on those same situations.

Are you conflating feminism,

which is an ideology,

with women, which is

a demographic of society?

Okay, mister

derailing for dummies.

So, really, your hatred

is for feminists.

- You're still a hate group.

- An ideology, yes.

I hate also hate

a lot of other "isms".

- So you admit, though.

- Racism, sexism.

Oh, bullshit, bullshit.

Bullshit, you hate sexism,

but you're an MRA.

Okay, no. Point taken.

We... like, we win.

You obviously haven't read

our literature.

Sorry. Okay!

You don't actually work

on anything.

You're creating any change

in the f***ing world.

Your website,

your f***ing website,

the hate website

against feminists...

You're not actually

creating any change.

Feminists do not want you

to have to make

alimony payments.

Alimony is set up

to combat the fact

that women have been

historically expected

to prioritize domestic duties

over professional goals,

thus minimizing

their earning potential

if their traditional

marriages end.

I'm right here.

You don't have to yell.

I'm reading, fuckface.

- It's for the f***ing camera.

- I'm trying to f***ing...

I'm letting everyone else

hear it, okay?

It's not just for you,

mister entitled.

The assumption

that wives should...

Why do you think

the men's rights movement

is at odds with feminism?

What has created that clash,

that war between each other?

Well, one, feminism

has spent the last 5o years

demonizing men, which is

sort of one of the problems.

Feminist scholars

have characterized men

as inherently violent,

inherently bad,

inherently predatory,

inherently oppressive.

They have postulated that

masculinity is a disease.

Feminists aren't

the only problem.

The problems didn't start

with feminism.

So when I start

criticizing feminism,

I want you to know you're

just part of the problem.

They're just part

of the problem.

You calling men oppressors

and women oppressed

demonizes men,

and I believe diminishes

women at the same time.

It's a way of telling men

to shut up.

It's a way of telling men

that their experiences

don't matter.

You tell a man he's privileged,

therefore, anything

he's gone through

or anything he has to say

doesn't matter.

His lived experiences

don't matter

because he's privileged.

So how old were you when you started

calling yourself a feminist?

Or how many years ago?

It was probably, about three

years ago, I guess you can say.

I'm relatively new, yeah.

But I'm pretty loud, so...

Silence only helps the

oppressor, not the oppressed.

A lot of MRAs say that feminism

doesn't fight

for the rights of men.

What would you say to that?

Cry me a river, really,

because feminism is a movement

about the discrepancies

when it comes

to women's equality.

Because we're not up.

We're still not there yet.

You know, don't even

start with that whole

"oh, but you don't think

about the men's issue."

Well, then you know what?

Start your own goddamn

movement, which they have,

but maybe make it a little

more about legitimate issues

like custody and alimony

and things that

you think are unequal,

which all stem from patriarchy,

not from, "oh, my god,

feminists are trying

to take away our kids."

No, dipshit.

That's not what

we're trying to do.

We're not trying to do that.

I mean, if they look

at the root causes of why,

for example, women get custody

more often than men do,

women are supposed to

be the mothers.

They're supposed to be

the natural born caregivers.

So, obviously, duh,

you has a vagina,

so, obviously, you're gonna be

able to take care of the kiddies.

That's really what it is.

It all stems from

sexism against women.

It's just, the oppression

dialectic needs to go.

It's so hard to convince people

to look at men's rights

activism and support it

without first allowing them

to at least escape

the stranglehold that

feminism has on their minds.

I do believe it is dogma.

It's zealotry.

There are good people

in the feminist movement.

Um...

There are not good people

in the radical

feminist movement.

Um...

That system is based on hate,

and hate... in my opinion,

hate's the most destructive

force in the world.

They're so quick to call us

man-haters or misandrists.

Misandry for life.

No.

They're so quick to say that,

when all we're doing

is talking about

patriarchal societies

and structures

that we want to dismantle.

Nothing against men

in particular,

but just saying, hey, this is

the system that we live in

and this puts men above women.

And it's not necessarily

their fault,

but, hey, recognize

what's happening here

and let's work together

to dismantle it.

The omnipotent,

ever-present patriarchy,

the invisible force that directs

all of our lives, right?

And causes all oppression

and all suffering, right?

Our devil.

And the beautiful,

wonderful force for justice...

Feminism, the way.

It's the way.

It sounds like religion.

It sounds like religion.

And, oh, my goodness,

for a moment that's only

about equality

and isn't blaming of men,

they named the force

for evil after men

and the force for justice

after women.

They're really angry,

and they're angry at women,

they're angry at feminist women.

Yes, men have gotten

a crappy deal,

but it's not the fault

of women or gay people.

when feminism says that they

have no part in any of this,

I think they're not

being honest about it.

I don't blame feminism
