A veritable anthem for average looking guys with nothing particularly interesting about them who are pissed off they can’t date women much more conventionally attractive than they are.

@The Kittehs’ Unpaid Help, I would have thought it was obvious that the casually thrown off “40 dates” comment is in itself indicative of unexamined female privilege. In fact, the ability to say “not my cup of tea” is a related female privilege that women enjoy.
And certainly nothing about 40 dates being a small number that demonstrates what a hard time she has getting guys.
Totally OT but look at this, all you Cthulhu fans:

Aaaand what makes you think men don’t have the exact same privilege? They can date anyone who wants to date them. The guys she dated obviously had the same opportunity to say “not my cup of tea” after the dates, and how do you know they didn’t? Everyone has the freedom to say they like someone; the someones have the same right, and both parties have the right to say yes/no thanks, whether it’s no dates, one date, whatever. Is the idea of women having the freedom to say yes or no something you have a problem with, sonny? It’s got nothing to do with the entitlement the creep in the video is showing – and that you are implicitly agreeing with, by defending him. He’s complaining about the women he lusts after not being interested in him, like they owe him something. That’s male entitlement and it’s opposite of what that critique says. Are you just trolling or are you genuinely that stupid? Go back and read Melody’s breakdown of that video if you can cope and don’t think your brain will explode from the effort.
Aaaand what makes you think men don’t have the exact same privilege?
They don’t if they want to ever be in a relationship. As a rule:
a. Women’s problem is finding a partner they are compatible with.
b. Men’s problem is finding any partner.
All the gentleman in the video is doing, is mocking the women’s hypocritical and sky-high standards, as poor waitresses hoping to date rich rock stars. Again, they’re entitled to be entitled, but they’re going to be justly mocked for it.
OK. So men struggle to find a partner when women can pick and choose.
This implies that it’s OK for men to have an idea of what’s attractive but that women are arrogant for exercising that same right.
Assumed facts not in evidence. I.e just making shit up
I really wanted to have sex with Han Solo/Indiana Jones when I was a teenager.I am able to differentiate between fantasy and reality.
What a load of bulldust, sonny. Do you ever leave your parents’ basement? What do you think all those couples are that one sees walking around together? People of all ages, all genders, people with kids … they’re out there. They exist. That means an awful lot of men have found partners. Somehow I don’t think the billions of people in the world today would exist if men couldn’t find partners (even just the millions in the USA, which is where I presume you live, since so many MRAs and trolls have trouble grasping that the USA =/= the world).
But wherever you live, you might try observing real life instead of the MRAs’ self-pitying fantasy for a while. They live in a strange world where men are somehow magically prevented from meeting women at all. Or wait, it’s that world where “unable to find a supermodel who’ll do everything I want and have no life of her own” means “unable to find any partner”. It’s not the world anyone else lives in. But given how unpleasant MRAs are (and misogynists in general) it’s just as well if they don’t find a partner, because they have nothing to offer anyone.
Hi BigMomma! ::waves from parts south::
Hey kitteh’s ::waves back:: we’re on the night shift!
I’d say it’s more you feminists who are living in a bubble of unexamined female privilege. You’ll never look because you’ve convinced yourself it doesn’t exist. Everyone else knows better.
Lol
Of course there are different types of privilege that affect different groups, and they overlap, but if you’re talking cis women vs cis men, then no, it’s the men who have privilege. I don’t think you know what the term actually means, but that’s nothing new for trolls and misogynists in general.
You still haven’t taken up the suggestion of looking at what that rape-proposing video creep wants, have you? No, because if we’re talking denial, you’re in it.
Hey, BigMomma, are you watching the Dr Blake Mysteries? I just saw the third episode and I’m really enjoying it. First Aussie series I’ve followed in ages.
Yeah, we’re the only ones awake here, it seems!
Actually, it’s really poor women wanting to date really rich men. Read for comprehension!
So, a really rich woman like Gina Rinehart is a more appropriate date for Chris Rock?

Hey kitteh, I watched the first episode and wasn’t too impressed, but gave it another shot tonight and quite enjoyed it.
Starterlife…interesting to see how they try to wriggle out of that …
My bubbles of female privilege look like this:
@jerk No, you first.
Kiwi girl – D’awwww! And yay for us southern hemisphere types. 😀
BigMomma – I enjoyed tonight’s ep. What I like is that the Dorky Constable isn’t actually a complete twit, like so many of these sidekicks are. He’s smart enough to pick up on stuff, like the corpse’s colour tonight.
I did think it a bit too good to be true when Blake was talking about “modern research” suggestion that homosexuality is innate. Wasn’t this the same era that “advanced” thinking treated it as a mental illness? Granted they’re never going to have the hero talking in those terms on a show these days, but it did leave me with a bit of an “if only!” feeling. Still, I’m enjoying the show and I hope it comes out on DVD, since I hadn’t the sense to start recording it! 😛
BigMomma, if I recall you are Scottish Australian? Do you remember the drama of Rose Hancock Porteous? LOL

LOL starterlife, I don’t know anything about Chris Rock but I don’t think I’d wish Gina Rinehart on anyone!
/. She is the is the richest woman in the world afterall 🙂
I know, I know … and oh the irony of someone who inherited billions telling other people the only reason they’re not as rich as her is because they don’t work hard. She’s even more sickening than Murdoch (who I’m convinced is a changeling alien baby: how on earth could he be related to Dame Elizabeth???)
female privilege bubble
Kitteh, I was a bit the same with Miss Fisher…as if they need present historical and fictional characters with modern sensibilities. Whilst I’m happy to agree that to some extent that was possible, I’m never entirely comfortable with it.
Starterlife, indeed I am Scottish, been here 6years. Just following your link.
Bummer, Firefox can’t open that video!
Of course we know what the “unexamined female privilege” is that MRAs like our current wanker troll whine about – the unparallelled, outrageous privilege women have gained of being able to say NO to men we’re not interested in. Specifically, of being able to say no to them. That’s what they’re frothing about, and it’s easy to see why, because they’d hear NO, and its variants of Piss Off, Go Away, Loser and Fuck Off at regular, frequent intervals.
All of which makes me lol.
I’m amazed how all these women can fund men to date… but somehow none of the men can. I guess women are just dating figments of their imagination. 8(
