But it’s something I would like to find a way to stop. It’s sad, and I wish I could do something about it. Too bad videos like this won’t help.

Actually, I think gender equality is the only thing that really WILL help on that issue. And even though these guys may be wrong about any amount of things, they did at least get people to talk about gender equality, which is a neccesary ingredient for change. If people don’t talk about it, it aint gonna happen.
