I realize feminists have redefined the word, and I strongly stand against the redefinition. Women are killed for the crime of being raped in the middle east, while feminists here have the gall to say being whistled at is a symptom of a rape culture.

It is trivializing what a real rape culture is and is intentionally fear mongering to push a feminist narrative. There are Muslims who commit acts of terror, and because of this some news stations will say we are at war with Islam or with Muslims. I think that is wrong because we are not at war with Islam or Muslims we are at war with radical Islam.

This makes a difference, because if you say we are at war with Muslims or Islam it can create for islamphobia and make people prejudice towards Muslims. The same way if you say we are in a rape culture it can make people afraid of men, or it can make people equate being flirted with or withdrawing consent the next morning with rape.

Exaggeration and fear mongering has consequences.

The Rebel did all of the footage editing, I just searched my computer to see if I had the clip and couldn't find it :(. I honestly can't remember how it ended.

I have also had friends of mine have their fathers, brothers, boyfriends etc. falsely accused of assault or rape and it is VERY difficult to watch someone go through that. I have received a depressing amount of messages from men thanking me for my videos and telling me their stories of being falsely accused.

I honestly believe it is because of the feminist culture encouraging them to demonize men. Also gender studies courses, tumblr and feminist literature changing the definition of consent and rape. After being immersed in feminist content I wouldn't be surprised if they genuinely believed they were raped. It would explain why they are so passionate.

It's been a really strange experience overall. Yesterday I had someone on the street ask for a picture with me. I never figured my videos would get as big as they did. At first I was pretty afraid of the extremist feminists since I had witnessed what they had done to others. But after seeing the support from various youtubers, Reddit and twitter it has taken away a lot of fear I initially had and I'm so happy to have such a large community of people who challenge the feminist narrative supporting me :) I won't lie though, it was pretty stressful at first having all of my friends send me positive or negative articles about me. For a while I had trouble just sitting down and reading or watching T.V. because I was so nervous about what people were saying about me. I've been coping with it a lot better now though.

Sure, I will ask for the rest of the footage and upload it all. I don't think it will make for a very interesting video, because a lot of it is just me talking/arguing with a crowd that comes around me. You're right though I could make my case stronger. :) It may take me a little bit to get and upload the footage but wait for it on my youtube channel!

It is certainly bias and caters to a right wing audience, but they aren't secretive about that. I would argue most media in Canada is fairly Liberal, so I'm happy to see Rebel offer a different view. I like all points of views to be made public, and both sides ask different types of challenging questions. The Rebel offers a different take on issues in Canada, so regardless of political affiliation I think it's important to have that option there.
