Takes a while to start up (the first 10 minutes), but becomes pretty interesting later:

Because the Internet isn't a series of tubes, it's a single cat with infinite meowing heads and infinite tails to pull.
"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." -- Attributed to Albert Einstein.
The internet is a series of cats.
You pull a cat tail in New York, he know if it's for one of his neighbours and will pull the correct tail. If it's not he pulls the tail of a cat in another neighbourhood until a the right cat in LA meows.

Women murdering men legal thanks to neo-feminism?
Some alarming law changes in Canada pointing in a nasty direction:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/5OJCzJHeyfQ?feature=oembed
Kinda reminds me of this strange Swedish law where sex without condom can be called out as rape anytime afterwards by the woman.
So much for equality.

Uhh.... no? Anyone can say "this is how the law should be", doesn't mean anything is actually going to change. Laws don't work like that. To start with he has zero clue about the dynamics he's talking about (demonstrated in his opening disdain for women trapped in abusive relationships). The entire video is designed around personal attacks, it's poorly articulated arguments that, if they were really strong, would have been able to stand on their own without trying to paint Sheehy as anything other than someone who wrote a book they disagree with. Honestly, the number of BS buzzwords and immature phrasing they constantly throw out makes me wonder if this isn't actually just a Poe, intentionally trolling.So good, your post is indeed absurd, but not because "oh, going to become legal for women to kill men", but because you actually fell for this guys bullshit response to Sheehy's concerns: her conclusion may be emotionally charged and ultimately wrong, this video may actually have the right conclusion, but the facts she used which this guy attacks are not, a lot of women are literally trapped in their abusive relationships and it is incredibly sad, there are a lot of problems that need to be addressed.
I think it absurd, that people like Sheehy who want such laws actually have had influence on law changes already in the recent past.
I aggree, that those people in the vid are quite strange though, but living in a completely insane city, I'm used to ignore such things.

I think it absurd that people can make a bullshit video and you can not only ignore the bullshit in it but then spread that bullshit as truth.Section 34-37 paraphrased: if someone attacks you (you being anyone, not just a woman) you have the right to defend yourself with enough force to stop the assault. If you kill the person, that is considered justified ONLY if you have reasonable grounds to suspect the peron was trying to kill you first. The definition of "reasonable grounds" in the criminal code requires some provable evidence, it's a legal step higher than "suspicion" where anyone can just claim anything. Despite what this video says, any lawyer that isn't a complete idiot will know what "reasonable" means and not present a case that they couldn't prove.
There are some things in this rewording that I don't agree with but there are far more that I do, and this video trying to paint Sheehy in a bad light, whether she actually did help pen the changes or not, is the second most absurd thing I've seen in reference to Canada. You know what the wording of the law used to say? It used to say that if you provoke someone and they retaliate, YOU CAN BE JUSTIFIED in killing them if you thought your life was in danger, even if they retaliated under the belief that they thought their life was in danger. So think about this situation: a man beats his wife regularly, constantly threatens to kill her, one day he walks in holding a knife and yelling at her and she, thinking he's finally going to do it, grabs her own weapon and tries to defend herself: he is now justified in murdering her because he had a legitimate fear for his life; that is the way it used to be worded, that is the part that was redacted with Sheehy's change, that is the part that these COCKs think is feminazis controlling the government.
Finally, this isn't even Canada. It's Ontario. They're talking about the Criminal Code of Ontario and pretending this is some country wide Feminism conspiracy. So much bullshit.
The most absurd thing referencing Canada I've ever seen, though, is the youtube comments on this video from people eating their bullshit, calling it candy, and wishing for more.
There are feminists that give the movement a bad name, Sheehy may be one of them (I haven't read her book so I don't know anything other than what the video claims and I think I've given a good impression of why I don't trust what the video is saying) but she is not one of them for this reason. The changes she helped make for the criminal code on assault, assuming at least that much is true and not deluded fantasy, are not some kind of feminist agenda, they actually make sense and I approve of the rewording.
