That's a really fascinating documentary. Interesting to see a woman analyzing male issues from a first-hand perspective, haha! I did think it was a little funny at the end, the guy saying "this will be revolutionary" but today it's mostly the same, though I do believe things are slowly getting better for both sides.
You're pretty alright :) Have a good evening!

a bit of a clarification. your youtube link:

is not actually a "documentary." norah vincent wrote a book about her 18 months living as a man, and this is a news report about that experience.
i read the book, many years ago. really good. well worth the time investment.
There's this documentary that I just love on this topic. This lady decides she wants to see what the world of men is like, and goes undercover and lives as one for eighteen months. And at the end of it, she emerges with such a tangible sense of compassion for men and their problems. They have all these difficulties that they don't talk about!, she says. It's so sweet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip7kP_dd6LU
We're playing with powerful forces, here, what with women entering the workforce in unprecedented numbers, and encountering unprecedented success. Historical, cultural forces. Biological forces. Psychological forces. I think we're making the world a better place, but this tale that it's a simple struggle between good and evil, and women and men . . . the world is more complicated than that. We don't need to take out our frustrations on each other. We need all our combined strength and wisdom. We should proceed with empathy and understanding and compassion.
For what it's worth, I think you guys are awesome. Hugs from an internet stranger. :)
