this guy is UNDENiably a total retard. I listened to him being interviewed by joe rogan and some other guy [its probably on youtube] He is unquestionably a bad person; or at least an idiot. Theres no way you could hear this interview and disagree wit me.

I can confirm that this guy is a douchebag - or at least he was ten years ago when we dated and he didn't believe I was a virgin because I "seemed to know what I was doing" and then didn't call my until he needed a place to crash when his tour came through the town where I was a freshman in college. (He did NOT get a place to crash.) His comedy used to be much less socially conscious and much more offensive for the sake of edginess. Maybe he's changed, but I have a feeling he just found a tack that got him a lot of twitter followers.

It amazes me that a guy can grow to adulthood and not know this happens to women all the time, because at the very least he's seen it, over and over again, just by walking around, and probably not reacted. The incident with his wife was actually pretty mild, really, compared to what she's certainly had to deal with throughout her life.
I've also always thought that a big part of homophobia (for men) is feeling what all girls learn to fear at 11 or 12 or whenever men start really noticing them - that they can be powerless to prevent the dangerous desire of men. No one is out there worried that women want them, because women don't pose a physical threat. Men's desire is scary because it is as a culture poorly controlled and physically inflicted against the victims will. This reality is always with women from a very young age. The ridiculous homophobic rants of adult men are a childish temper tantrum against being made to feel (very rarely, very mildly) what women feel every day. It is a strong anti-rape feeling as regards themselves that they don't extend to women. It seems to me like it might be especially acute because those homophobic straight men are also more likely to be those who aren't respectful of women, who seek to control their bodies in other ways, or who know those who have, have seen, or have participated in sexual abuse of women and have not stopped it. Rape is real to them, but only from the one socially acceptable side. To have the threat they themselves represent towards women turned around on them is surely a great crime against humanity right? Men aren't supposed to feel that fear, only women. I think this is the core discomfort toward homosexuality - not disgust with anal sex, not religious beliefs. The same fear all women learn as children.

I lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn from 1979 until 2005. Twerps like this are exactly why I left.

so what will get us in their pants?

"Guys: Treat women the way you would want your daughter, wife or mom"

I don't plan of fucking them though.

Women who complain about getting cat calls will be complaining about being "invisible" in about 15 years.

Great set and I enjoyed the tie in of Harassment and Rape; however, I was a little put off when he stated men could never understand what it is to be harassed in public. As a decently attractive gay man, I've had my share of cat-calls, proposals and other less charming names hurled my way, and many times, from women. I am not trying to equate the grief I've gone through with what women go through, I merely felt a bit annoyed with his supposition that only women are harassed.

To be honest, he looks like a rather typical Capitol Hill, squirrelly, pussified hipster, so I can see why he feels inadequate against a working class hooligan. I mean, if it'd be a bunch of gangsta thugs or barrio bros', his testicles probably would have run off by themselves.

But remember folks, regret = rape and flirting = rape culture.

So I shouldn't hold doors open for ladies? Considering how few there are I'm Seattle, it's not too hard a a change for me.

Jamie is well intentioned. I would suggest a nice gender studies class for all the men who wish to get on board with the movement. I am glad he is bringing the issue of rape culture to the forefront. Marriage is a patriarchy, the last time I checked--since the beginning of time, where women are sold as property. And so when a truck driver harasses Jamie's property, it is an affront to his manhood. The truck driver wanted to fuck HIS wife OH HELL NO!! This is a key aspect of rape culture for sure. In Feminist dialogue about the subject of rape culture, the impact of thousands of years of marriage inequality is somehow lost, most likely due to the awesome civil rights movement to give anyone who wants to marry the legal opportunity. I wish to God LGBT had the rights to marriage so that we can put it aside and get on with a real discussion on why marriage is even so very superduper important in our culture to begin with? I seriously do not know. How about a tax credit for singles who do not have two incomes and split the bills? I am glad that some men are trying to get on the bandwagon with regard to Feminist movement, though. Jamie seems to see himself as some kind of a hero for the movement like google his name and rape culture pops up! If he view himself in this way, please please read some Feminist lit and sit in on a women's studies class. Do us all a favor?

I'm 5'2" 175lbs. Fat. (I'm assuming Dan is disgusted with something that's really none of his business.) This bit makes me want to keep the weight on. I'm not invisible to rapists or misogyny, but I don't have to deal with everyday catcalls. Guys don't mind it if their friends know they're disgusted by me (again, despite it not being their business,) but most guys over 28 don't want to come off as fratholes and no man who would yell out a line wants his friends to think he's attracted to me. Filters out a lot.
