When I restarted this YouTube channel back in September
after I'd been gone for something like two years
I opened with the joke referencing the fact that
many people on YouTube like calling outspoken women ***
and any men who defend outspoken women are manginas.
Most people got the joke and
and went on to watch the rest the video however
there were many angry tears shed that day
a lot of people had trouble with the idea that
I would speak about the harassment I receive
in a video that would go on to be about fundraising for Cancer Research
these people wanted me to go back to talking about science and skepticism
as though the previous few years old nonstop *** threats and death threats
and slurs had never even happened
and I totally understand that sentiment because it is after all
a perfectly human sentiment we want our bacon
but we don't want to think about the pig getting slaughtered. We want
cheap jeans but we don't think about the seamstress trapped in a collapsed
factory in Bangladesh
and we want women to educate entertain and even titillate us
but we don't wanna know what they go through to do that
we don't want to hear about be anti-depressants they go on
or the armed guards they hire or all the times that they need to take a break
from the public eye just to get their *** together
as bad as it is to wake up every day and have to sift through dozens of
messages
telling me that I am subhuman, that I deserve to be ***
that I'm fat and ugly and a prude and a ***
and as bad as the people are who are sending those messages
I'd say that to me the people who
tell me to stop talking about my harassment
are a thousand times worse. That's right
you, liberal intellectual guy
who has a healthy interest in science and skepticism but
who finds feminism distasteful would rather not hear about it. You are worse
than *** threats
because the *** threats are what they are they're horrible
and the people who send them are horrible daily too awful lives
and so they act now in of always and they probably deep down know that the
world would be a better place without them
but you new guy who just wants to hear about
science and you don't know you're awful
you think they you are just doing a good thing that you are trying to encourage
me to you
talk more about science and skepticism you think you're building bridges
you think that was someone learns about the scientific method then it doesn't
really matter if they call women cons
you think if you ignore problem long enough it'll go away as opposed to the
problem remaining in the women going away
you think that my is sarcasm in feminism
causes misogyny in the same way that birds flyin south for the winter
causes the snow to come so this is a video that I hope will disabuse you of
the notion that I will
ever ever listen to you I'm gonna go on talking about the things that
I wanna talk about on this YouTube channel whether that be
recent science news or something hilarious about Bigfoot
or video games or phase wanna make a joke about
why I took two years away from you too
why I disabled comment notifications
why I rarely risk reader respond to any comments
whyyy rarely follow any other
hey youtube atheists and skeptics anymore because I don't do these videos
30
I do these videos for me and four
anybody else who shares my values I do them for the people over on Peachtree on
who are pledge in their hard-earned money because they like what i'm talking
about. so much
or because they really like my limerick San ms Payne Giants
and really who could blame them because they're fantastic
in fact if I get just a few more pledges over on Peachtree on
will reach the level where I'll be able to start doing two videos per week
and if that happens I promise you that at least one of those videos
every week will be focused on feminism
or misandry or Peter
or were basically whatever I want to talk about because its money
it's made to channel but even if Petri on folds tomorrow and I lose all that
support
I'm going to continue speaking out about feminism and harassment of women online
why because it pisses you off and maybe if I
speak out about it enough wanna view
out there will realize that
this is a serious problem and
maybe you will stop being pissed off at me and
start being pissed off at the people who are actually making life miserable for
women online
maybe you'll realize that what happens to me online
isn't just 8 single one of occurrence
never to be seen again what happens to me is just one example
I love a widespread phenomenon that
touches on any woman who is attempting to speak out and have a boy's
any woman who puts herself forward is at risk
I loved the scene kinda abuse that I get
so keep that in mind the next time you leave a comment on one of my videos
saying that I should stop talking about harassment and go back to just talking
about science
you've probably just convince me that I need to talk about that even more
