Forget Feminism Ladies, Science Will Save You!



There's so much going on in this 5 minute video it's astounding. I feel like an archaeologist uncovering the tomb of an ancient British misogynist.

Some points that stuck out to me:

The idea that feminism regulates women to intellectual ghettos.

His claim that feminism was invented in the 1960's.

A disavowal of science's role in the oppression of women and other minorities. Remember a little thing called biological determinism, which was supported by "scientific" claims, and used to keep women in the kitchen? Guess not....

A poor understanding of the history of the birth control pill. Sorry Margret Sanger, you're old news.

But one of my favorites, it this dude's assertion that the mechanical miracle of WASHING MACHINES would have eventually liberated women from domestic servitude.

Don't worry ladies, after guys like him perfect Love Droids we can all sneak away. And no one will notice......
