Just watched Eleonore's film "I am not an easy man", it really shocked me, at how the gender role reversal, are just such normal parts of society, not just in France, in our culture worldwide. It also highlighted the toxicness of the "male" identity, it can be isolating for men to show emotions in this culture, where that's only reserved for "women" but that's actually just a human feeling. Love this talk, loved her original video "Oppressed Majority", I'd highly recommend to watch it for men who just don't get what she's talking about. It isn't a criticism towards men, it's a criticism that we all can have a more equal world and we really could all benefit!
I just watched "I am not an easy man" and it completely opened my eyes. Like Eleonore already said, there are soo many small things in our every day life, that we just accept without giving it a second thought, that are truely misagonistic! Altough I am a woman of the younger generations it is clear that we are still tought this kind of submisive behavior since childhood and internalize it through our whole life. I would highly recommended this movie! Not only is it quite funny, in retrospect it really makes you think about our society
Men will never know what it's like to have to shower and have good hygiene or be judged. Men will never know what it's like to be judged by their appearance, also if you're not 6'2" dont talk to me. I'm just playing she's absolutely right men will never know what it's like to be offended by compliments or have a partner pay for their medical and dental bills.
It amazes me how a man telling his wife / client she's beautiful the way she, is oppressive, when asking something to change is also clearly objectification & misogyny. The idea of role reversal is worth exploring though, at least through art and roleplay like some marriage and relationship counsilers are trying to utilise these days. I don't know if documentaries mentioned here explore both perspectives but as far as I have read / heard about real world experiments, both sides often learn that the grass is greener on the other side but usually also come out more enriched and humbled.
The man telling her as a client, didn’t say that. He said she shouldn’t change anything because her husband likes it and that’s all that matters. It should have been about whether she likes it on herself. She doesn’t want to be beautiful FOR her husband.
Her reversed scenario of an older female dentist who tells a younger man that he is fine the way he is and that his wife wouldn't consent to the cost is in fact quite plausible and likely. Older women usually have no compunction giving unsolicited advice to younger men on grooming and dress. There is certainly no taboo against it, but an older man is absolutely forbidden from giving even well-intentioned advice to a younger female. What's more, women perform the majority of household expenditure, and the woman usually needs to approve big ticket items. The older female dentist might even shame the younger man with a condescending remark like, "what would the 'boss' say to this?" So her story of discrimination is actually of equality. She interprets it as discrimination because she is accustomed to privilege: the privilege of a taboo against comments regarding her body, and society's acceptance that the man defer to the woman on spending.
Thank you for your comment. You show how different a man's perspective is, even when misogyny is served on a plate to you, you still refuse to identify it
@@sheebashafaq1685 Actually, it's violence and sexism against males that society refuses to identify. For example, there was international outcry when Boko Haram kidnapped 300 girls in 2014. Even Michelle Obama joined the campaign to BringBackOurGirls. On the other hand, Boko Haram has kidnapped more 10,000 boys, but few people know about this, and fewer still care.
@@parrychen4738 I think we all agree kidnapping anyone (boy or girl) is bad. Males should not be discriminated against, yes, but the same goes for women. Violence and sexism against anyone is awful. We’re all on the same page here. Equality is best. Let’s not hate on any gender, and just try to do better in the future.

Nature has made us to play different roles...Nothing wrong with that!

I would have hard time believing the audacity of the dentist. I liked the movie 'Je ne suis pas homme facile'.
53 misogynist guys don't like it...😂
the fragility of the men in the audience is hilarious

You're right, the gender system is BS!
