A little bit of BTS for the video on the topic of fact checking. One of the reasons I script all of my videos is because I screw up information all of the time before the final draft is finished. Typically I will fact check the same information several times before a video is posted. One major mess up for this video I caught was this confusing piece of information here at 4:09.

Originally I said that the Hunter Biden story could have shifted the election results by 10%. That seemed kind of high so I went back, reread the line and noticed it said, "50% of Biden voters who did not know, 10% of them would have changed their vote. This means 5% of Biden voters would have changed their vote which, let's say, is roughly 2.5% of the total vote. Considering that a lot of these elections are very close, that's still a pretty significant percentage of the vote just for a single story. But it's certainly not 10%. And thus, fact checking is important.

I've always hated that "you don't have to feel unsafe walking alone at night" bit, and not just because it's insane to tell people to disregard safety. I'm a big, bearded, muscular guy and I approach every street corner with caution. Because of the fact that I pose a much greater physical threat than say a 160 lb woman, if someone wants my stuff they aren't going to give me a fair fight. They'll wait until my guard is down and ambush me with a knife or baseball bat.

I'm a middle-aged white man and I walked to the grocery store the other day and I got attacked by a homeless man with a retractable baton for absolutely no reason. Needless to say I feel vulnerable every time I walk to the grocery store now and I don't have a vehicle.

"You, as a man, have no idea what it's like to be a woman. But I, as a woman, know exactly what you experience as a man"

[whatever]

"A bunch of young white men who've never walked down the street feeling vulnerable" what a disgusting thing to say. As someone who has experienced random unprovoked street violence, I can tell you that had I been a woman in exactly the same circumstances, it would have likely not happened, if it had there would have been numerous male strangers who would have intervened on my behalf, and the police/justice system would have taken it more seriously. Absolutely reprehensible thing to say. Love your vids TBYS, keep exposing this garbage.

I’m literally a white male who was just walking down the street and was attacked by a gang as part of a racial hate crime. The gangs initiation was that they had to kill a white guy. I have objectively been attacked because of my race in a way that 99% of the world will never experience. I also am a father of a daughter and have a wife that I care very much about. I worry about them all the time. The problem with stuff like this is it treated as if it’s black and white. You are this so this applies. Which that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

I went prison on false allegations. Try feeling safe then. 7 straight years of fear and unsafeness. I never heard of very many women being the victim of false allegations

It's not that she forgot to cite her sources, it's that she knows she doesn't have to. If anyone disagrees with her or questions her they will be easily ridiculed and ignored regardless of the validity of the questions.

The best quote I’ve ever heard about careers is this, “There are ONLY two types of jobs, the ones that you take a shower before you go to work and the ones you take a shower when you get home from work…and the world needs BOTH!”

If women are so strong, smart, and independent.. why do we need to push/support them in areas of industries that they don't even want to be in?! If they wanted to earn their positions, the opportunity is open and available for anyone that is qualified.

"He got dignity and a small amount of income from his learning to be a DJ, thanks to the internet. He managed to become a DJ and I went to his first gig, which I had closed down because 95% of DJs are male and that's a problem."

[Koldfusion]

An elderly lady that I worked with at my last job told me numerous times that she prefers having male bosses because they treat her better and are more level headed. Conversely, she told me she has absolutely despised almost every single female boss she’s ever had in her life.

Maybe that partially explains why YouTube has taken such a colossal nosedive ever since Susan took the helm back in 2014. The old days of YouTube were absolutely legendary. Now it’s just another woke platform.

"We talk about coping, not coding"

These women are turning the workplace into the home, and fellow employees into their children.

Your doing a service to the world man.

Educating these people to think is going to be the only thing that takes our country forward.

[hincksman]

Wow, such a hard life she has led...being the daughter of wealthy, landed-gentry types and getting a posh, elite education at Oxford. Such hardship. I'm sure her achievements have nothing to do with her immensely privileged family...but well done to her dealing with all the poor men in the world that have more privilege than her

[evanrogers]

I worked in IT at a university. There was this lady I worked with (mid-30’s) that wanted to get into the cyber security field. She would apply for jobs or transfers and when she didn’t get it, she complained that it was a “boys club” and that they were all “sexist”. “They couldn’t stand to have a woman in the office since it would make them straighten up” she said. If she succeeded, she was a pinnacle of women in the work force; proving to the world that women can do anything a man can. If she failed, it was because the entire institution of IT was stacked against her. The whole tech industry vehemently hated women and they were punishing her to keep her out. There was always some reason beyond herself for why she failed; always somebody or something else to blame.

She never thought about that fact that she was going head to head with a dozens and dozens of IT graduates/students 10 years younger than she while she had only just barely gotten into IT work.

She was smart enough but the problem is that she was entitled, resentful, and mouthy. She never knew when to shut up. She even slandered one of the hiring managers that denied her “her rightful place” right in front of his brother. She had no filter, no patience, and absolutely no self-awareness.

I noticed recently that she did eventually get into an IT degree program at the university. I also noticed that part of the reason for her admission was because of the special treatment from female scholarships and diversity policies. When a spot was opened that literally only women could fill in an industry consisting mostly of men, she didn’t have to do much to get the spot. Of course, that didn’t stop her from bragging about her abilities and making a show of how finally, another woman broke into the male-based IT field.

I also noticed that when she left the office, the amount of drama, complaining, slander, and overall stress disappeared over night. — It’s also worth noting that she was a socialist with a fondness for communism. Shocking, I know.

A woman is simultaneously a victim and "empowered".
When something happens, she chooses the state which benefits her the most.
