and use the argument

that women

have an advantage now...

No person looking at the data

can possibly say women

have an advantage.

We're just beginning to get

a level playing field here.

It's not tilted in our favor,

I can tell you that.

And they know it.

They know it.

But it's the constant

distortion of the data,

it's the spinning of a situation

to make it look like women

are somehow getting ahead,

getting an advantage

they don't deserve.

Um, it's, uh...

It's part of the backlash.

Political organizing comes from

a feeling of victimization,

which is why the men's rights

movement makes that claim

that men are the victims

of discrimination.

But it doesn't

have much traction

because you look around

and it's hard to see it.

We don't have movements called,

you know, straight liberation.

Is the men's... the question

I would pose rhetorically is

is the men's rights movement

really the gendered version

of the white

nationalist movement?

Because there are plenty

of white people

who say that

they are the victims

of reverse discrimination.

Of course, it's not gonna have

very much traction.

You can't really organize the

people who are super ordinate.

So do you think that men

are being discriminated

against in any way?

Not under the law.

Men are not disadvantaged

under our laws

or in the business world.

As a class, men are not

underrepresented on corporate boards

or the top of the fortune

1,000 companies.

In the corporate world,

in the business world,

in a lot of parts of academia,

in the military,

in the sports world,

it's still pretty much

a male-dominated world,

where a lot of the privileges

and power and status

accrue to men.

Men are advantaged over women,

no question.

No one can...

No one can debate that.

Not with a serious...

Not in any seriousness.

I was a math

major as an undergraduate,

and one of the fundamental

things about geometry

is the distance

from point "A" to point "B"

equals the distance

from point "B" to point "A",

and if women

are so different from men

that men can't understand

the female experience,

we need to listen to women

to describe it,

then the male experience

is so different

from the female experience

that you can't understand it.

You need to listen to us.

You can't really compare

how men and women

have suffered from sexism.

There's no way to quantify,

you know,

that kind of suffering.

So if a woman says, well, I

miss 30% of my income...

More than you miss

six years of life..."

There's no way to quantify that.

Or "I've lost a job opportunity

because I'm a woman."

There's no way to say,

"I've suffered more than you"

because you've lost a kid

because you're a man.

You know, we can't...

But it is serious.

And at least if...

If you're denied a job

because you're a woman,

at least you can go

to another company

and apply for a job, you know?

But you can't...

When you lose your kid,

you can't say, "okay, I'll

get custody of that kid.

I'll try for that one."

It's a terrible thing

that happens.

There was a case...

The Serpico case.

You might be too young

to know the movie "Serpico"

- with Al Pacino.

- Yeah, I don't know.

It was about a New York City

undercover cop.

He gets shot at the end

of the movie

and retires

from the police force.

And he was a real man,

frank Serpico.

A woman, after the movie,

after this was made,

decided she wanted

to become a single mother

and tricked him

into fathering a child.

And the court accepted that,

because she told her friends

she was going to trick him

and they testified,

and the court said,

"yes, you were tricked into it,"

and still awarded her over 90%

So everything that he

goes through in this movie,

including getting shot,

to earn his pension,

she won by

sleeping with him one night.

My son's mom wanted

to have children with me

and I had always refused,

you know, saying,

"you have this anger problem.

You need to get counseling.

I'm not gonna consider

having children with you

until that's dealt with,"

'cause she would lose

her temper almost every day,

and just use

any weapon she could.

And, like, a child's

the perfect weapon,

so I was really

definite about that.

But she also used to proofread

my articles for me.

And I wrote an article

for "playboy" about Serpico.

And when she read that,

she told her friend

she's gonna trick me

into fathering the child.

She doesn't need my permission.

And so that's how my son

was conceived.

Then she said,

"if you wanna see your son,

you have to stay

in a relationship with me.

But if you break up with me,

I know all the things

that a woman can do to a man."

You know, she read all my articles.

She saw my talk shows.

She said, "I know all the

things a woman can do to a man,

and I'll do 'em to you."

So, um, that's what

I had to deal with.

Everything that I had been

raising awareness about

for the previous 17 years,

she combined into one thing

for me to live through.

It's really ironic.

For the first...

Five to seven years, I guess,

we would see each other four

times a day for exchanges.

On average, every single day

I had to deal

with some scene...

A scene meaning

she would just not show up

or she would hold the kid out

and then pull him back

and hold him out

and pull him...

And just kind of play with me.

Or she'd let me have the kid

and then she'd stand

in front of the car

so I couldn't move.

Another time, I saw her

hold him by the shoulders

and say, "daddy is a bad man.

Daddy is a very bad man."

And so I had to go through

this long custody battle,

and the decisions

that they would make,

you would just go, "how... "

there couldn't

be any explanation.

Either they're absolute idiots

or it's biased.

There's just no other

explanation for it.

One other thing,

his mom is obese

and wanted him to be obese

for various reasons.

One thing is

so he would identify

more with her side

of the family than mine,

'cause we're all...

All thin.

Another was so that he would

enjoy being with her more,

'cause when he was at my house,

he had to get activity,

you know, and eat

well-balanced meals,

and get his sleep and stuff.

And at her house,

they would bake brownies

and stay up late

and just watch TV.

So where would you...

If you're a little kid,

where would you

enjoy being more?

But he self-reported

to the mediator

how upset he was

about being obese,

that the worst thing in school

was when kids called him fatty

and how he cried,

and his physician said that

he's really concerned medically.

And then what I did,

he was at an age

where he would imitate

things that I would do.

You know,

I gave him a broken shaver,

so when I shaved,

he would pretend to shave.

And what I did was,

I started weighing myself

every morning

and writing down my weight,

the date and my weight,

and I taught him

how to read a scale.

So he kept his own records.
