Patronising or what?

[Thistledew]

I can't quite work out why this annoys me so much. Thoughts?

There is the rather obvious use of past tense for starters ...

[TheCrackFox]

I feel a bit ill after watching that.

Oi, creepy guys, actions speak louder than words. Apology, smology.

[givequicheachance]

Ahem



Dear Men,

We, and by "we" I speak for ALL womankind, forgive you. That's why they call us woman"KIND" - we are kind and feccund, and so forgiveness sprouts forth from our Godessy parts.

We, understand that sometimes it is hard for you to battle your natural superiority manliness. Because you are weak, you have made mistakes and forgotten to make allowances for us feeble women. Like an older sibling winning a race in the park, you look back at us struggling on our weak little ankles and feel remorseful that you didn't give us a headstart. We probably should have taken better care of you and then you wouldn't have been so mean.

But now you are sorry. All of you. Every single man. And so we clasp your bald and beardy little head into the smothering warmth of our heaving bosoms, and we forgive you too.

There. All better now.

[Beachcomber]

Yeah could tell they all had stiffies really meant it.

[Beachcomber]

you could tell

[SpringchickenGoldBrass]

I'm waiting for the sequel, myself. It will be called 'You bitches, we have shown you our sensitive side and you still won't go out with us.' Or maybe just 'Waaaaa!'

[BibiBlocksberg]

Wasn't the grey haired one the boss bloke on Fantasy Island?

[BertieBotts]

To be fair, you can't draw any conclusions about the opinions of sane people from youtube comments anyway.

[aliceliddell]

Oh shit it's more of those 'we support women's liberation' tossers. Of course they know far more about it than we do, we're doing it all wrong. Thankfully they're here now to save us all from folly, madness and manhating. Oh, and I bet the'd be willing to shag us too.

[Susiewho]

Is the grey-haired one Martin Shaw?

[HerBeX]

LOLOLOL at this surely it's a piss take?

It has to be, right?

Tell me it is

Can you imagine being stuck on a desert island with that lot and knowing you were going to be there for 20 years and if you wanted sex, it was going to have to be with one of them?

The utter desolation. The despair.

[nooka]

Eugh. Some of that stuff is really creepy woo-ness. Love the 'it was all our unconscious' get out clause (I've just been reading that evolution thread, and the two seem ever so related - it's not my fault I was so cruel, it was just my genes/psyche/ unconscious' boo hoo poor me). In the 'grip of lust' is apparently a great excuse for rape too. No ownership there really is there? As for all that women have all that intuition/feeling crap - plus the implication that without many logic humans would all be in some animalistic state (the superstition bit was particularly ironic, given that the male church held up so much scientific advance).

In fact generally it's all a bit of the wtf really isn't it? Really really weird ideas of what it is to be a 'man' or a woman (although I'm not sure that word is used much is it, it's all 'feminine' wonderfulness instead of anything approaching talking about real women isn't it)

Lol about that "ex-partners" bit at the end. It's the "I'm sorry but..." line all over.

'Claig, do you have to link everything you don't like to the Guardian and climate change?'

Only if there is a connection.

They 'mistakenly believed that expansion would protect them from encroachment and in the process they violated the sanctity of the earth and its natural rhythms'.

They are 'conscious' men who want to create a 'global economics' and to create a 'new way of being'. There are lots of political movements like that around. I think they are part of that trend, and have spent money and time trying to push their 'conscious' message of a 'new way of being'.

[Missingfriendsandsad]

:) its like star trek... I would like to move towards new energies of procreation: transl: We will kidnap you and make your female crew members pregnant.

Don't you call me multi-dimensional!

[claig]

Here is another 'star trek' political movement. This one is far, far more successful and tens of thousands of clever people have actually fallen for it. It is the 'star trek' like 'Venus project', part of the futuristic Zeitgeist movement. It's a similar message, about rebalancing, the environment, nature and climate change.

It is also run by men who want 'a new social design', 'a redesign of our culture'. These men have lots of money and produce lots of materials to sell their 'vision'. It is political and it is a trick. They are trying to shape minds. They are all part of a greater whole. They work to a common goal. They are not spending all their money for a laugh. If they ever succeed in convincing people of their 'new way of being', of 'their respect for the feminine', we will all find out that it will not be a laughing matter.

Yes it is cult, which is why what StayFrosty's DH said about heads in duffel bags is not so far-fetched. These movements are political. Behind these movements are rich men who fund them and try to fool people into following them and believing their simplistic, salvationist philosophies about 'new ways of being' and 'total redesigns of our society'. These rich, clever men use all the tricks, push all the buttons and mention climate, nature, the earth and respect for the feminine at every opportunity. They are tricksters and they are a cult and their real aims are not the happy, clappy future that they sell people.

[sethstarkaddersmackerel]

what are their real aims Claig?
