Video of the day -- alone


This video is aimed mostly at older men, though others may also find it of interest.  Although here and there his way of expressing himself may offend some, I suspect he speaks for many who avoid being so blunt because they don't want to deal with tiresome lectures.  I don't share all of his views, but living with extreme isolation myself, I think there's value in a lot of what he says.

By the way, in the UK and apparently in Australia it is normal to say "orientated" instead of "oriented" -- it's just a dialect difference, not a mark of uneducated speech.

I watched the video. His message is… strained. I am a male, and yes, I do consider myself a feminist. All throughout my life, really strong women have always had my back. My career would never have advanced as it did without their support and leadership. I would never have been able to retire when I did if was not for the insight, advice and council of women along my path. He just sounds… bitter bordering on resentful.

I don't think you really heard most of it.

I don't like generalisations about male behaviour and female behviour. We're all individuals and what applies to one man may not apply to another. Each man has to work out how he copes with loneliness, and each man has to acquire self-awareness. Also, this guy struck me as quite misogynistic and with little respect for women.

Again, I don't think you were really paying attention to most of it, just zeroing in on things to object to.

I paid close attention to it, and I actually watched it twice. But different people can interpret a video differently.

Well, I hope some people watched it who can benefit from it, as I did, even if they didn't comment. I don't see any point in just posting negativity.
