Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues his crusade in raising the equality bar.

On Saturday, he met the four millennial men behind Generation Y Not for an interview on feminism, and specifically how men can be more effective at it.

As part of it, Trudeau was asked to answer, in 10 seconds or less, what advice he would give men to become better feminists.

"There's lots of things you can do to be a better feminist as a man but here's a simple one: don't interrupt women, and notice every time women get interrupted in conversation," the PM said in a Snapchat video (http://cdn.vidible.tv/prod/2016-04/30/5 ... 480_v1.mp4)

He's got a point. Studies show that women are interrupted at higher rates than men. . . .

^^^^^^^^^ While women are interrupted more, there is also evidence they can quite verbose, speaking incessantly without getting to the point, creating limitations in time, leading to the necessity to "interrupt".

Evidence of a scientific reason for female verbosity (http://www.jneurosci.org/content/33/8/3276.abstract).

But studies also indicate that when men feel the need to interrupt women it may mean that they want to take power (http://www.linguistik-online.com/1_00/KUNSMANN.HTM).

So, please, what do you mean by limitations in time?

Evidence and obvious special treatment, protection, and ignorance seems to be the outcome of the so called "feminist movement".

Modern western feminism basically searching for reasons to feel oppressed because they want to feel special. Its too bad because women in other countries have actual inequality problems ie. female genital mutilation, unequal rights, etc. Those are the women that need feminism not some admin girl complaining she doesn't make as much as a ceo.

Tens of thousands of Canadian women and girls are victims of violence or sexual assault. So until that is fixed, we can hardly say modern women are searching for reasons to feel oppressed.

No one in Canada or Castanet celebrates or condones abuse against women. Everyone stands in solidarity with them. The same cannot be said in Saudi Arabia or Egypt. That is the difference.

No one is denying women aren't victims of violence or sexual assault. But I'd bet you'd be surprised to learn that half of domestic violence victims are men. Who knew? Equal rates of "oppression". What? How dare I produce such a claim that goes directly against the mainstream third-wave feminist narrative?

Facts can be so inconvenient to ideologues.

This is not news. Are you saying that because there are men that are oppressed, we should not try to support women who suffer domestic and/or sexual assault? Violence and sexual assault obviously is to be deal with through social programs to help the victims, and through the justice system to put the perpetrators away. That does not take away one iota from the importance of women's rights. When men's and women's rights are given full and equal weight, then we won't need a thread like this one. but if you want to start a thread about men's rights or the victimization of men, why not do that? this one happens to be about feminism. Perhaps you somehow mistakenly thought that feminism is about women being allowed to oppress men?

Uh, did you not read the thread title before posting? Newsflash: it's called "The feminist movement is getting out of control." It's about the ideology of third wave feminism trumping evidence, science and logic in the name of "equality," which is in practice a call for special privileges and concessions.
