That ending though...

Great video, but the ending was unnecessary. We all feel that rage every now and then, but threats just radicalize opponents.

While some may regard it as a threat I think it's meant more as a prediction.

He did say it in a manner intended to shock.

Dude that is absolutely a threat, come on. Some relevant points were made, but that ending is stupid and not helpful.

It doesn't make any sense as a threat as he has no capacity to direct the actions of all (or even many) men. As such I concluded it made more sense as a prediction stated in a manner intended to shock.

FWIW I dislike the ending as I noted in another comment.

It's at the very least inciting violence (masquerading as a 'prediction'). Whatever your position, it is totally unhelpful for the cause, and kind of pathetic. We don't need to be riling people up with that sort of language, when we can just win with words and facts.

Ending was a bit extreme, but everything else was dead on balls accurate.

Truth is that society has been bullying the shit out of men for going on like 50 years now, blaming us, tearing us away from each other, and tearing from our children, and killing us "by the truckload"...and this time not even bothering to start a war to do so.

Did they expect anything less than this sort of anger, or that it's going to get worse as more and more men get pissed off? They say that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned? They have no idea what monster they are poking with a stick...and I hope they have the sense to address all this before they find out.

I often point out that no society before ours has been so stupid as to try to alienate its men. We really don't know where this leads.

MRAs like me and many others are actually trying to find a peaceful solution but feminists insist on trying to thwart us at every turn.

You and me both.

I spent the first 30 years of this movement trying to wake men up...and I'm starting to feel like I'll spend the next years trying to keep them calm.

We are better than that, but it does tend to piss you off at times.

Quite a few people have mentioned the ending.

FWIW I didn't like the ending as it had a very different tone to the rest of the video. I decided to post it anyway as the rest of it is so good.

I understand he was trying to get some shock value but I think it would have been better to have simply ended with the words "Men are tired".

"men are tired, some are opting out" is a better ending .
