  • -Hey guys.

  • So today, I'm gonna be talking about girls,

  • feminists, to be exact.

  • And if you don't know what a feminist is,

  • they are girls who are very... pro girls.

  • And when I say "pro girls," I don't mean like lesbians

  • or professional girl-ers...

  • I'm talking about who seek equality between men and women.

  • Actually wrote this video a long time ago,

  • but I never filmed it because I thought

  • feminists would be offended.

  • -Oh, you think just because we're girls,

  • we can't handle a joke?

  • -What? No, I never said that.

  • -Why do you have to make the girl character stupid?

  • -Well, I have guy characters just as stupid as you.

  • -Oh, so now you're calling me stupid, huh?

  • -Yes.

  • Then I thought to myself,

  • there's no reason why they should be offended.

  • I'm all for equal rights between men and women.

  • I agree that women should get paid

  • the same amount as a man if they're doing the same job

  • and a woman should not be looked down on by a man,

  • but if you want equality, everything has to be equal.

  • Not just certain things; guys want equality too.

  • For example: why is it traditional

  • for a guy to open a girl's door,

  • but a girl never does it for a guy?

  • Why is it customary for guys to have to risk rejection

  • and ask out girls all the time?

  • Girls hardly ever ask out guys.

  • Why is it gentleman-like for a guy to pay for a meal?

  • Girls say it's so sweet when guys bring them gifts

  • and flowers and candies, and what do we get? A free hug?

  • And why is it that there's a Girls' Day,

  • but when it comes to boys, it's Children's Day?

  • I'm not saying that I want all of these things,

  • it's just that if you're talking about equality,

  • you're basically asking us to treat you like a dude,

  • which we would love to do if it were acceptable.

  • One of the most popular complaints from girls is that

  • guys don't spend enough time with their girlfriends.

  • Well, when you think about it, it goes both ways.

  • That's what he said.

  • See what I did there? Equality.

  • -Come on, I don't wanna watch you play

  • video games all day.

  • -Why don't you spend some time with me?

  • Pull up a controller; there's two of 'em.

  • -But I don't like playing video games.

  • -And I don't like shopping.

  • -Well, you know what? I'm a girl. I want attention.

  • -And I'm a guy. I want--

  • Another complaint that girls always have is that

  • guys are always shallow and they only care about

  • sex and how girls' bodies look.

  • Then why is it okay for girls to say...

  • "Dear Ryan, can you introduce your abs to us,

  • less than three?"

  • But then if we say...

  • "Dear girl, take yo shirt off"

  • it's offensive?

  • Girls are just as bad as guys;

  • it's just that they get more offended.

  • Girl, you got nice boobs.

  • -[scoffs]

  • -Can you imagine if guys were that sensitive?

  • -Ooh, I like your muscles.

  • -[scoffs]

  • My point is that it doesn't matter if you're a male or a female.

  • So again, don't think that I hate feminists,

  • because that's not true at all.

  • I'm just raising a point that both sexes

  • have positives and negatives.

  • So stop complaining about the other sex

  • and just love yourself for who you are.

  • Nobody's perfect. Stand up, do it like a dude,

  • and abracadabra.

  • I just named like four Jessie J songs, I don't know why.

  • Anyway, thank you so much for watching,

  • hope you guys enjoyed it, peace out guys...

  • and girls.

  • Yeah, this video's not gonna help me get a girlfriend.

  • Teehee!

  • [scoffs, then laughs]

-Hey guys.
