Philip Zimbardo • Psychologist / sociologist. • Professor at Stanford Uni. • Stanford Prison Experiment (1971). • The Lucifer Effect (2007) https: //psychcentral. com/blog/wpcontent/uploads/2011/08/zimbardo-prisonexperiment. jpg https: //www. amazon. co. uk/Lucifer-Effect.

Outline: Demise of Men • Feminist or sexist? (The lesson from Titanic). • David Benatar: The Second Sexism (2010) • Bill Burr: “Women often go on TV and say they want to be treated exactly like a guy. But if you listen to them, they don't. All they want is good sh**s of being like a guy. ” https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=BZgg 4 toc. I • Guys are being wiped out, v. Y http: //www. livinglifecounseling. com/maleacademically, socially, and depression. html sexually, with women.
Academically. . . Men are… • 30% more likely to drop out of school. • 2/3 in special remedial program. • Zimbardo: “Girls outperform boys at all levels from elementary to graduate school. ”
Socially… • “Fear of intimacy” • “Social intense syndrome”: the problematic preference of male bonding over female mating. • “Social awkwardness” towards women that leads to improper interactions.
Sexually… • “Arousal addiction”: emphasis on Internet world over spontaneous interactions. • Average porn click… • Cindy Gallop: “guys don’t know the difference between making love and doing porn. ” http: //mephim. net/online/Cindy-Gallop-Make-love-not-porn-Adult-content
Zimbardo’s Conclusion • The society has been tolerating the sexism against men but intolerant of that against women. • As we advocate female protection and female autonomy, men are simply “left there. ” • Responsibility of popular media: princess syndrome & soap-opera addiction.
My Premise… • Instead of the demise of men, today’s society suffers from the demise of equality and objectivity. The cause is the problematic education on sex and gender, and “naturalizations” on men. • To study sex/gender, one fact has to be reckoned again and again: that there are (at least) two sexes, and two genders. • To emphasize one sex/gender can bring contribution, but to over-emphasize can being disaster.
Zootopia • The reversal of hierarchy only makes things worse. https: //tellmewhytheworldisweird. blogspot. tw/2016/03/zootopia-systemic-racism. html

Oh I thought so if you're a feminist you don't have sexuality. You deny it. So I said f_ _k it. I am a different kind of feminist. I am a bad feminist. ” http: //girltalkhq. com/madonnas-billboard-woman-year-speech-unapologetic-rally-cry-nastywomen-everywhere/
Wonder Woman • "Although the original creators may have intended Wonder Woman to represent a strong and independent warrior woman with a feminist message, the reality is that the character's current iteration is that of a large breasted, white woman of impossible proportions, scantily clad in a shimmery, thigh-baring body suit with an American flag motif and knee high boots --the epitome of a pin-up girl. “ • http: //ew. com/article/2016/12/13/u nited-nations-ends-wonder-womanambassador-campaign/ • http: //www. womenyoushouldknow. net/giveaway-we-are-allwonderwomen-satrun-sisters-print/
