Seriously? How could a woman be convicted for rape? Can women technically rape someone?

Who is he talking to behind the camera?

Do you have voluntary control over your erectile function? I sure don't. I lose control of it all the time, occasionally to my embarrassment.

I wish I was a tough guy in the bario. Fuck.

I studied a lot of this in my gender studies / masculinity courses in college.
Seeing things from the less discussed male point of view can be a large eye opener in a society that focuses so strongly on the female abuse point of view.

With the rules society has given us, for this guy to just be discussing this makes him less of a man or a wuss. It is strictly against the male "code" to open up and say it's not fair that I have to be tough.

In our society, no one is ready to listen to men complain, even if he is right or if he has noble purposes. Men just have to "suck it up" and "be a man" about it. Which is also what men tell their sons, I know I was told by my father "don't take it all so close to heart" and "if you ignore your feelings, you'll toughen up, and after a while, it won't bother you so much".

Well denying and ignoring major issues such as bullying and abuse (verbal or otherwise) doesn't make them go away. And pretending it didn't bother you, doesn't make it stop. Sure you put your feeling off but it ALWAYS comes back and screws you up a little as you get older, whether you recognize it or not.

We either have to "Suck it Up" and "Toughen Up" or get walked on, period! That's our society as it stands. It will be a long time before this is dealt with and a change comes along.

Rape doesn't have to be vagina penetration.

Psh, this is pretty jaded to a dying idea...that we are a blank slate created in whole by our experience. This quaint idea has been dying more and more each day. In truth, nature and nurture are locked together in a great struggle for the dominance in the fore of our mind. Just changing social norms and such doesn't change the underlying aggression seeded in us. Just look around you to non-humans for this. The male is almost always the main aggressor for mating, territory. This video also raises a false dichotomy between violence and emotional sensitivity. It is possible to be a violent person and emotionally complex and/or fragile.

Where as I do agree that violent urges are a detriment to us all, I question his evaluation of it being so superficially based, the counter to that is just to overwhelming to even go into.
