    I found this pretty cool video and thought that I'd share it.

    Parenthood isnt exactly an easy ride for fathers either. Speaking as a working working class father i feel somewhat unrepresented by this video.

    Its a million times easier for fathers than mothers - and you're held out as a hero-father-of-the-year for performing a fraction of what mothers typically do.

    If you feel "unrepresented" by the video maybe its because its not meant to represent you - the rest of the world already does that.

    The world, media or entertainment does not represent working class people.

    Cool video. Definitely puts the things women go through in a easy to understand video. It sucks she got the lowest score through . She should have at least gotten over 9000.

    no, no you do not understand..You oppress women. Any grievance you have is nul and void because you are a man and you have a penis. Your sorrows do not matter...your problems do not matter...your suffering does not matter....they are all trivial and irrelevant. Because only women suffer, only women can have problems, only women can have sorrow. Because you are a man you are always on top. You benefit. You automatically are a winner...because you have a penis.

    Anything you say will be dismissed. Anything you feel will be dismissed. Anything that is being done upon to you will be dismissed....

    Why? Because it is irrelevant....because you have a penis. and therefore can not experience sexism.

    Im not denying that childbirth etc is a horrible endurance and that mothers get the rough deal out of the whole thing. I have upmost respect for women as i couldnt go through it myself. I cant speak for other guys but i am myself am a hands on father and dont shrug my duties. I feel i've paid my share both socially and in terms of career progression, neither of which is helped by the fact that i only get 2 weeks paternity leave. Sorry if i fail to identify with the besuited upwardly mobile yuppie so prominent in this animation but i guess its artist forgot that not all families are privileged with the archetypical nuclear family existance. I suppose i just resent this video as a dishonest generalisation.

    Well i wouldnt go that far, but i get the impression that some female comrades err a little heavilly towards the 'all men are bastards' camp.

    As first a hands-on father and then a single father, let me say that parenting is rough.

    Since women still bare the brunt of it, plus all the rest of the sexist shit they have to deal with ... .

    I don't agree with this across the board.

    I found it a lot easier raising my children after their father was out of the picture.
    By having no family … I inherited the family of humanity.
    By having no possessions … I have possessed all.
    By rejecting the love of one … I received the love of all.
    By surrendering my life to the revolution … I found eternal life.

    I really liked this video. Agreed with one of the above posters. She should've gotten over 9,000.

    This video isn't about parenthood,work or exploitation in a general way, it's simply about discrimination regarding women.
    That's why it ends with a dubious score and that's why the title is a prejudice-statement.
    It is the movement of people and things that distracts and even consoles, if there is still consolation to be had for one so unhappy. If the leaves of the trees did not move, how sad the trees would be and we too.

    Funny thing is, my mother works for Blizzard Entertainment. I think that's the ultimate evidence that not only do females not suck at computer games, but they can end up playing them for a living.
