So sad the story on the bus, people looking away instead of helping you. Do we as a society really feel so disconnected from eachother.
Why are you needing to know that? If someone was attacked, would you need the information of all the ages and genders of other passengers?
@David Lawrence Older women are probably the group most likely to say something in this situation.

As a survivor of csa, I always jump in when I see shit like this. Public shame works well. Being loud and firm. And getting your phone out. Letting behaviour like this slide, makes them feel like they can escalate. And that escalation can destroy lives.
Yep, that is why we have so many female teachers going after little boys.
@@michaelvanemburgh8059very true! No one is above reproach
I´m from Brazil and I can tell you here is a very sexist country. I hate all about this... I hate How outdated behavior we can find here... but people actualy live in deny, even can perceive that... it is a shame.
Thanks for watching and sharing your perspective
@Media Militia why are you watching anything with the bbc if you don’t like them?
On the other videos on this channel about why people are homophobic or racist have people agreeing and going “why are they like that, it’s so unfair” and stuff like that. And that is good because at least some people are against racism and homophobia. On this it’s just a few people sharing their stories and then some people actually disagreeing with the video.
It feels like more people are against homophobia and racism because it can actually effect other men.
Bold point, do you have evidence
@@thetornadocrusader968 the comment sections of the videos. Because that’s what I’m talking about.
The conversation needs to happen
The sooner the better
Thank you bbc ideas
Thank you for watching!
If my wife or daughter just let someone touch them on a bus, without doing anything, id be ashamed and feel like id have to chaperone them.
What kind of weekness is this that you are celebrating?????
Strong independant women shouldnt need help.
@GDKLockout they don’t need to be groped either do they? Accept that the people groping the women are to blame not the women who are groped.
“You cannot reason people out of a position that they did not reason themselves into.”

Your comments are everywhere. So, I checked your channel and I really liked it. So, I finally SUBSCRIBED!!!!
"Should have the choice". I agree 100%.
Can feel the pain which is my experience when going to school at the age of 14!
The story does not show sexism. There is something called the bystander effect and that is when there are more people there is less of a chance of someone helping you as people would believe that someone else would step in and help.
About the example: idk if people see it as acceptible or if its partially the bystander/kitty genovese effect?
Anyway, I do agree all that change is needed.
it's quite fucked up how much genderbased violence there is, how much inequality, ...
I thought this would be an explanation of where sexism comes from, it's not, it merely presents examples of sexism. The title is slightly misleading. I'm looking for how sexism came about.
You as an ardent Feminist Laura Bates must have heard of Erin Pizzey...?? Am I correct...??
i read your book the burning and it's one of my fav books!!!!!!!!!!!! so powerful
Sexism can have deadly consequences, how many men die in jobs where we could be placing women at equal risk. It is subtle, like 'you're the guy, you should climb that ladder and collect that item'.
or how many women are killed because of domestic abuse
Absolutely yes
Great video
Thank you!
Im not sexist what the bloody hell. But still it sad
this is one of the reasons why sometimes I’m ashamed to be human
Who said you were? You have said the closest thing to it, is it because you have done something that happened in the video?
Waiting for the next video with David duke explaining why people are racist.
Considering Laura Bates' hatred of men I would say she is an expert at sexism.
What did she say that is so misandrical?
@@Fandar Laura Bates has been on this "All Men are Trash" crusade for over 10 years. She has denied any facts that men are in dire need of help. Laura never addresses the language used by her man hating cohorts at the Guardian like Julie Bindel of Clementine Ford because she agrees with them.
I knew the website and there re lots of truths of a normal day as a female
Everyday sexism. Claims to be against harassment (like most modern feminism).
Yet strangely turns a blind eye to ANYONE including other feminists who have called into question the UNPROVE stories they pass off as fact - being harrassed.
Mmmm. Just saying.
@David Aston the site is for peoples real experiences. How are they supposed to prove it? And the ‘unprove stories’? What does that even mean?
In that bus story, why would she look around and expect other people to get involved?
I've had random altercations with other men trying to start trouble, I just handled it. Get ready to square up.
The expectation for others to interfere, in the name of a woman's honor is a remnant of a chivalrous past that was destroyed by the very ideology Laura subscribes to. In the past men have been killed for allegedly whistling at a woman let alone touching one. The paternalism placed on women has been removed, and with that comes risk, Her story is a result of that Trade-off. What she wants is the protectionism that patriarchy once provided in the past without the risk that comes with being free in the world. She frames this as a gendered issue, while most of the trouble makers in the world are men, those men make no gendered distinction on who they start trouble with, as statistically, crimes against men have always been higher.
As far as companies gendering products..MONEY is on the line..if gendering products is a problem then the consumer wouldn't buy it and they would be out of business. Companys have better analytics now more than ever about age, gender, geography. The power is in the hands of the consumers that buy the products, especially when you can order them online, companies simply adjust to the market. if there truly is a market for non-gendered products, well you might have a potential gold-mine for an unaddressed market.
"Everyone Should have a choice" But I does seem to be far 3:36
Just remember that personal experiences don’t determine a full society.
And that a society is full of tens and hundreds of personal experiences. Micro aggressions are huge in number and everyone has some they could speak on
its so sad that people don't talk about male sexism.... so sad
I will, it's just that sexism against women is much more pervasive. Sexism that punches women is everywhere. I caught 3 instances of sexism against women on online space before lunch time. Sexism against women is imbedded it the way people commonly talk because people don't understand the phrases they use attack women. When you point it out they don't change, they just attack you . Women aren't too sensitive to it, the majority are desensitized to it.
ok.
@@hadithelegend3358 no sexism means a prejudice against women...but there can be stereotypes among men.
When a man is told they can’t play with barbies because there boy it’s stereotypical not sexist.
@@emilyganguly277 oh yes sooooo pervasive compared to the other part made by your kind. Go f*ck yourself! Another reason to not help a woman if she is in need
@@stefanoputignano1555 You probably said that to your mom and grandmom huh??
You know what you will never see? Laura Bates debate one of the men she makes a career out of defaming...
3:22🎞️It's🤔the parents decision to let there child buy what it wants at the shops. It's not the shops problem with gender matching it's the parents job.🧚🏻♂️🌌
Don't worry. More and more men are learning to completely avoid women.
Yep. Because in school I think if I'm near a girl and the girl says I am touching her everybody is gonna believe her because I'm a boy
Took you long enough
@@echoxeros5233 and enjoy the reactions screaming “where have all the good men go?”
@@stefanoputignano1555 A lame excuse tu be a pansyass whose mistake was being born
@@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722 I guess it take one to recognize another
IS SO SAD THE WORLD WE LIVE IN PEOPLE ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES
Thank you bbc ideas
Misandry
Why do some men and women hate women?
maybe because they have been abused by women and saw women getting away with it, or better, flipping the table and saying you are the abuser.
I have noooo clue , why do people keep creating gender wars ? Like we both experience sexism women just experience it on a more frequent basses , it actually seems that sexism against men is increasing now 🤔 I think some people thought that if they were sexist back to men it would fix the sexism against women .. but that doesn’t make sense 🤷♀️ I honestly think people should raise their kids better and make them see everyone as an equal also why should woman be treated differently because their biology is different … women are hated for being women I mean how does that make sense to anyone ???? Why would you hate someone for the way they were born?
@@sopfhie748 because they have something they don’t have. Jealousy. Envy is a sin. Always someone better off and someone worse off.
Especially western women
So true
Not people women
If a man were being groped on a bus by a woman ...
How often does that happen
That’s disgusting and should be stopped. No one grope anyone at all, regardless of gender because it’s not your body.
I will listen to some one talking about sexysm when they will tallk about the sexism about men.
I onestly think that woman are not always in the best spot, but thinking of what she said " 1 in 10 are female engenner" i would be glad to see half of the bricklayers female
If we want equality needs to be for both.
cool this was NOT the point of the video
The more you try to SILENCE women about it the less space men will get because women constantly need to fight brainwashed, ignorant, entitled people like you
Sexism is womens inability to face criticism...thats why you change its name to sexism...thats why its not called sexism when women do it but criticism.....why we have to care about made up words conceived by middle class white women that wanted attention but didnt have enough victimhood for it?
Sexism..patriarchy...mansplaining..man spreading etc etc etc...why should we care about people that have a useless degree(gender studies) and make up words in the process?
What's gonna happen if I say that both sides should have died as babies??? I say this because me and my family have no regrets in telling sjw and anti sjw that we pooped on their graves
The story on the bus does not show what she claims. By not getting involved noone is taking sides or saying someone has contributed to anything. They are choosing to not involve themselves in other people business.
You will see (predominantly young) men attacked in public and no one step in. You will see people robbed buy people look the other way.
This may not be how we would like the world to be ideally, but it is how it is. Your neighbours desire to avoid you is not sexism, it is a sign they are indifference towards you.
omg
It's not our problem anymore ladies! Open your own doors, change your own tires and try to perform CPR on yourselves when you drop dead. You wanted Men to stay away, well, you got what you wanted. Message received!
-NON SERVIAM
If yor mom attempts on your life for saying that that's on you and no one else
@@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722 uh, what?
@@lvelylilies I am doing my best to teach my younger brother and his friends that Men can be an island unto themselves.
Apart this sexist rule at my secondary school when boys can't wear earrings but girls can. See thats what sexist is
...
Omg no earrings. That's what true pain is :( women could never understand :(
That doesn’t make sense what was the school thinking it seems like a double standard 😂 but also this is nothing compared to the sexism talked about here 😅
can understand this is so annoying lol
That's the beauty about being a Man. A female's opinion is never relevant.
-NON SERVIAM
I don’t remember anyone saying you’re opinion was relevant.
@@HiBuddyyyyyy Oh, we few smart Men are well aware that you don't care about us or what they think.
@@repealthe19th61 You killed your mother and grandmother then
@@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722 Makes no sense.
Was he blind?
Because people have opinions?
Because women like you
GBV Is a horrible thing, but I came here to learn about the psychological perspective of sexism .
I'm unsubscribing
Tshegofatso Seshibedi I too, come for knowledge in the subconscious decision to act in a way that is considered degrading and sexist. I didn’t find that, but it was somewhat entertaining and enlightening. Still disappointed though.
Good riddance
fake news
How is this fake news ? I was groped at the age of 10 , I literally experienced it , the only reason u think it’s “fake news” is because YOU have never experienced it so it’s easy for u to think it’s not real problem
Tv advertising is pretty sexist. The men are always the ‘dumb blokes’ who need to be helped by the wise women. For example, insurance adverts where men can’t find the right quote. The woman pops in with the ‘men are so impractical’ look and sorts the problem with ease. Or that car advert where the woman goes on a number of dates and judges the men based on their looks. Overall, men in advertising are seen as fair game when it comes to stereotyping gender intelligence.
Nice job, because you saw a video proving that men are sexist, you're so sexist you felt the need to have to comment something completely irrelevant and much less extreme.
@David Lawrence did I say anything about this video? No. This guy felt the need to comment how women are actually the sexist ones because it was about men in this video. He is sexist
@David Lawrence misunderstanding, the world is against women, sorry. Men are not necessarily sexist, but in general it is harder for women than men in this world.
as a woman it’s sad how much the “men are so stupid” “if a man agreed with you, he’s smart” is out there.
@@hankadams203 Just an opinion. Similar to what this video is.
