Thought experiment on gender double standards. from @nycdivorcelawyer

The speaker presents a thought experiment comparing the positive societal reaction to a girl expressing pride in being a girl versus the negative reaction a boy receives for the same sentiment. He argues this creates a double standard where any expression of male pride is treated as a 'hate crime.' He then pivots to acknowledge historical and ongoing female oppression but criticizes modern discourse for focusing on trivial issues, concluding that the societal dynamic unfairly convinces men they are always wrong, leading to anger.

Are you saying girls aren't smart? Like, we don't but when girls say this, if you say to a girl, what's good about being a girl? Anything she says like, if a girl says I'm smart, you go, well, boys are smart too. That's not what we say. Now, again, this is a natural reaction no the fact that for many, many years, women were absolutely held back in better culture, a 100%. Like, a 100%. They still are, by the way.
