ofcs the cowards who put this up on youtube disabled comments and up/downvoting
this video is disgusting, filled with cliches, and portrays men like they're animals

so f*ck you, you can try to guilt-trip someone else

The reason this video had all comments and votes disabled is because the uploader knew people, males, would react the way you do. And worse.
Look, the purpose of the video is not to say all men are animals and hating on the peniscarrying part of the population, the purpose is to condense, concentrate, the experience of sexism. Yes, it goes to the extgreme of attempted rape (or whatever you want to call it) but just look at the reported number of rapes in your country and contemplate how much higher the numbers were if all rapes were reported.
Think about all the stuff that comes before the guy gets actually physically attacked. That's not necessarily what women experience in a single day, that's what women expirience in general.
Sexism is sometimes like racism, a rather subtle thing. Have you seen the 8 minute rant of Kanye West on Jimmy Kimmel? Watch it. The guy might be a douchebag but he has some interesting, noteworthy things to say there.
Hell, I'm sure I've been sexist without noticing myself but reactions like yours to such a video tend to illustrate the point made in it, most of us men are not really aware of what sexism means to a woman. The video gives you an idea. But maybe I'd rather talk to your wife instead.

*nsfw because of the misandric boobies.

I think we have to give them artistic license to show as many examples as possible of the worst it can be, but at the same time it paints a pretty bleak picture where every single "man" acts compulsively and exaggeratedly sexist whenever they're within earshot of a "woman".

I don't like the more subtle aspects either - "men" peeing in alleyways? I've seen women peeing in alleyways and i consider it equally disgusting as men peeing in alleyways. Whoever does it is gross or utterly desperate, and by dint of easier access men are probably more inclined to take the risk of it. This embellishes the misogyny.

The clothing comparisons made is another example - they compare loose fitting shirt and shorts with (for example) skin tight, see through, almost naked stuff. Her dialogue at the end makes me think the author was being quite a bit tongue-in-cheek about that and therefore other bits. Topless jogging? How many would want to do that? Doesn't make good mechanical sense to me and i think you'd find a topless woman walking around my neighbourhood would be shopped in by the women who saw her, not the men.

I think if they're going to try to make a point with the rape scene then they needed to be less tongue-in-cheek with the goofy stuff that i think is added for a level of humour.

I don't meet dudes who act like any of this. I must hang out in educated circles of civil people. WHo is this made for?

Every male I was around in gradeschool, junior-high, and highschool acted like this. It shaped a very embarrassing portion of my self that was only erased when I reached college and realized it wasn't how people should be if we want everyone to live the life of freedom that we hope to.

I was going to say how no one I know ever went so far as to rape a person, but even that's not true considering the unchaperoned "party" my friend and I had at his house with two girls, where which I left at sunset for dinner because "my parents would get mad at me", and I later learned that the two girls and he got drunk on his parents liquor after I left, and one of them later pressed charges that he'd raped her that night.

I don't say this lightly, it's something I remembered just now, and is clearly a memory I have fought to push out of my mind. It's not a fear of guilt, I bear that very much, as much as it's the first of many encounters a really naive young man had with how terrible sexuality can be between the established genders in our society. I believe this happened when we were in the 6th grade.

I'm very thankful today that I am as pro-equality as I am, and that I never committed any mistakes nearly so heinous as that. That said, I understand the film is a compilation of all the worst-case-scenarios in a woman's day to day life, and you should view it understanding that, but where I come from, and understanding how there are such extremely concentrated pockets of ignorant society along these lines, know that there are very many people out there who act this way.

I got out; passed the "small-town-test", but knowing the adults I knew when I was growing up, and that nearly none of my schoolmates from that era ever moved from home or had any higher education, I know that those who stayed there continue to act that way 20+ years on, so in the end this video is not inaccurate.

There's only one of her, so no need to use the plural. It's not supposed to be realistic, but instead to provoke discussion. A few quotes from the filmmaker here:

I have to agree with the comment of this being cliched and anything but 'everyday' sexism. Every solitary 'sexist' interaction in the entire video is already deemed entirely unacceptable and due cause for a beat down of the sexist bullies. The role reversal bit is just entirely unecessary and makes it feel too heavy handed to take seriously. I'm of course coming from a North American perspective, I'd hoped and understood women's rights in The EU weren't that far behind either for this to open any new eyes.

Men tend to not pick up on the subtle nuances of sexism.
About 3 months ago I entered a room at work. A female colleague of mine, one of the most attractive ones at that time, was eating a sandwich or something like that. Nothing phallic like a banana. Across the room stood another coworker, freshly married father of a newborn son. He was watching her eating with an expression of certain interest and after I inquired what's so interesting he proclaimed loudly enough for her to her "I could watch her do that all day." His tone said way more than his words.
The woman was eating a fucking sandwich. I'm still waiting for the day when I'm licking an icecream cone and any woman tells me she could watch me do that all day long.

And that's just the subtle stuff, the socially acceptable creepiness.

I liked the idea, but I do think they went overboard in their execution.

I can't imagine any man I know having that kind of reaction to their partners sexual assault. It just plays false.

The scene with the police investigator was fantastic though.

edit: Actually, to take it a bit further, they missed out on a common male reaction to a womans sexual assault; a desire for revenge. This is an absolutely ingrained reaction, and even if they're aware of the negative connotations, most men will still feel like their masculinity has been violated.
