Potential great show brought down a few notches by feminism

[deleted]

There's a part of me that wants to believe that it was multi-faceted look at the issue. On the one hand, you can say that it was a simplistic view of feminism from an SJW standpoint. On the other hand, there are things in the episode that hurt Dev when he does them. His arrest of that guy was probably for the best...but he DOES feel bad for calling a guy out on something he'll never understand. He loses his commercial gig because he spoke on behalf of the women working with him. Lastly, his girlfriend gets to walk all over him when he brings up a valid point about seeing the best in people.

I felt, too, that the episode was out of place, but then again, I think there may be a deeper, possibly scathing commentary on third wave feminism in there. I also found it funny that they let Arnold, the guy who no one would take seriously, properly define what feminism SHOULD be. As if "intellectuals" constantly overanalyze the topic and end up missing the point.

I do think Aziz certainly leans towards an SJW mindset, and his stand-up bit about creepy stalker guys is painful to listen to (I'm a straight white guy and I've been followed by girls for blocks), due to it's one sided nature. However, I think there may be other things at play here. It's certainly worth discussing and I don't think the OP should be shamed into not putting his opinion into the ring, despite it's extreme nature.

Also, why would it matter whether someone personally benefits from an idea of fairness?

I notice there are a lot of people who make complaints like this on the imdb (or maybe just a couple who post a lot) about every show in which feminism is even a passing topic of conversation.

That's true. Most of these idiots complaining about feminism don't even understand what it is---the belief that both men and women should have equal rights. Basically, the ones usually doing all the damn complaining are threatened by anything that challenges the white male hegemony (dominance) over everything, like feminism, racism, or sexism. None of which is any kind of propaganda, they are very real issues those of us who aren't white and male have to deal with in our lives. They don't get that being a woman, a person of color,being LBGT, or all three has to move through society and the world in a completely different way then a white man does because white males have been taught from birth that they are superior, and that everyone has to bow down and kiss their a**** just because they're white males, and that they are entitled to damn near everything because they're white males (i.e.,trumpf's screwed-up arrogant a**.)

These are the same idiot fools who b****, whine and gnash their teeth every time a black actor or other person of color is cast in what is usually the kind of starring roles white actors have always been cast in (like Finn in the new STAR WARS, Tulip in the new cable series PREACHER, the whole brouhaha about Johnny Storm in THE FANTASTIC FOUR being cast as a black character, the fits thrown over the character of Rue in the HUNGER GAMES being black when she was written as black in the books.) They can't stand the fact that white men are no longer the center of he universe, and that just fcks them up real good,lol. Times have changed and they don't know how to deal with it,but hey, that's their damn problem, not mine.

What does Aziz's height have to do with whether or not he would "benefit" from feminism?

Look I'm not the best looking guy in the world, but I'm much better looking than Aziz Ansari. I'm also around 6 feet tall, which helps because hypocritical feminist women go for tall guys, like the rest of women.

You sound pretty bitter, good luck with that, feminism is going to face major backlash moving forward and you better believe that successful guys like myself will not promote it or support it.
