Heh. Terrible indeed. I'll upvote, but only in the interest of maintaining a diversity of viewpoints on the Sift.

Btw, I wouldn't mind seeing a parody tag on this video because, as I've said on other videos, I think self-parody counts. But I digress...

I think it's certainly an interesting theory. I tend to agree that a cynic could certainly point out that women's lib was just another way to draw 50% of the population into corporate orbit, but why encourage them to vote? Why give equal pay? For that matter, why would you ever let go of slavery being legal?

Certainly there are massive corporate interests out there, encouraging us to be shortsighted, small minded slaves of our own desires.

Personally, I don't see some nefarious, superior organization in it, I just see more shortsighted, small minded slaves of their own desires, who just happen to have clawed their way to the top of the food chain, and subvert everyone else because they can.

I think slowly encouraging women's rights over the course of essentially the entire 20th century requires planning and influence that's clearly beyond capability of the people who run our world (either overtly or covertly).

After all, you'd think they'd have realized that cheap, ready, alternatives to oil would be needed after 100 years or so, and been prepared.

I think he is making a major leap from "we funded this" to "we created this". Many movements, when they finally hit critical mass are, all of a sudden, "supported" by organizations which seek to capitalize on their political/social inertia.

Similarly there is a big difference between "We are planning to find some excuse to do X" and "We have covertly orchestrated an act of war against our own country in order to have an excuse to do X"

Despite my disdain for his evidence, I agree that mainstream feminism has been co-opted since suffragettes decided to throw blacks under the bus.

Is this actually a parody, I really can't tell.

I guess my problem with many conspiracy theories is they see a correlation and draw a cause and effect conclusion. Anyone with any statistical experience should know correlations only show relationships, they do not prove causality.

In my opinion corporations are just opportunistic, whatever the landscape they're looking to turn a profit and will find a niche where ever they can. Women are going into the business world focus on showing how products will make them more successful (whether its actually true or not) and free up their time. Women are staying at home, focus on sewing machines, stove tops appliances and other house hold products they can use to make being a house wife easier and better to please their man. It doesn't matter in which direction culture moves corporations will have their paws in it, cause that's where the profit is.
