Have you ever started listening to video and almost immediately start to cringe?
This, gentle readers, is precisely one of those happenings. Contained within are the soft headed feckless meanderings of some christian ministry that is ostensibly meant to “help” women by employing all (ok, many) of the viscous patriarchal tropes that afflict women in our society. This video is poorly narrated, and so thick with the stupid that I’m crowd sourcing this one out. I’m warning you now that this video is so inane it makes trying to pay your credit card bill at the bank with Cheetos look like a perfectly rational idea.
Let’s dive in though kids, the water is wet and the pickings are good.
So much fail all…in…one…spot. The only problem(?) is that there is no transcript to this trainwreck so, dedicated readers, pull your favourite quotes out of the video and let’s discuss them.
I’ll kick it off with this polished turd that starts at 0:53 in the video:
[…] “it is so sad when we see that women today are dealing with so many internal issues and because of that they will do things like dress provocatively just to get this attention from men and this power over men and thats not good, that’s destructive. ” […]
Really?
Which internal issues are you talking about buckwheat? Patriarchy? Rape Culture? Misogyny? Oh no, let’s get straight to the mansplaining that ‘girls’ (holy infantilization batwoman!!!) with issues dress provocatively because they want attention from men. Wow, you fucking nailed it. Not only that, you doubled down because you know women girls want to be treated like sex objects (because sex objects are totally regarded as humans with agency, amiright?) so they can have power over the poor hapless men.
Oh my bitter feminist rage boils with the heat of thousand suns at the pants-on-head cluelessness of this dude and his prescriptions for women. This gloweringly-flatulent ziggurat of stupidity reveals its dire thesis only a minute in, which means that of course, the remaining twelve minutes are going to be to totally awesome.
Have fun picking your quote and takedown. :)
