I dunno if I explained myself well enough in the video, so I'll give you a brief summation here...
There are legitimate issues that men face that deserve to be discussed. But having mostly women talk about them in a way that frames them as women's issues, within an ideological movement that focuses on women, to the effect that any benefits men gain from the discussion are more likely just side effects than accomplished goals, seems counter-intuitive to me. Men need to be part of the discussion if the discussion is about men, and really, it should be taking place within an ideological space of itself, not within feminism.
This is not a rejection of feminism, or what it has done for women or society at large. But merely need for an intellectual complement to feminism that works in tandem with it, rather than against it, but within a space of its own, with it's own identity.
Unfortunately, the 'Men's Rights Movement' that we already have is largely populated by misogynist, homophobic, entitled cry-babies. It is full of men who grew up expecting women to act within patriarchal norms, who are now throwing their toys out of the pram upon realising that's not going to happen. It is as much (if not more) about opposing feminism and blaming it for the challenges men face rather than maturely and thoughtfully addressing them from a cooperative, evidence-led perspective.
(BTW - I recorded this a week or so ago, so it's actually no longer anywhere near as hot right now. Just FYI.)
There'd better be a song about me on your debut album.

Video games, like music, are one of those topics wherein people can feel like their own opinions are gospel and anyone who disgrees with them is necessarily mentally impaired.

Farr, R. H et al. 2010 'Parenting and Child Development in Adoptive Families: Does Parental Sexual Orientation Matter?' APPLIED DEVELOPMENTAL SCIENCE, 14(3), 164--178, 201
Excerpts:
"Our findings are also at odds with the notion that only heterosexual adults make capable parents and that lesbian and gay parents are somehow ineffective or harmful."
"From a policy perspective, our results provide no justification for denying lesbian and gay adults from adopting children (Wald, 2006). Indeed, barring adoptions to prospective lesbian and gay parents seems likely to produce a number of undesirable outcomes."

Excerpts:
"Results: According to their mothers' reports, the 17-year-old daughters and sons of lesbian mothers were rated significantly higher in social, school/academic, and total competence and significantly lower in social problems, rule-breaking, aggressive, and externalizing problem behavior than their age-matched counterparts in Achenbach's normative sample of American youth."
"Conclusions: Adolescents who have been reared in lesbian-mother families since birth demonstrate healthy psychological adjustment."

[Verse 1]
Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
Then aim for my heart
If you feel like
And take me away, make it okay
I swear I'll behave
You wanted control
So we waited
I put on a show
Now I make it
You say I'm a kid
My ego is big
I don't give a sh*t
And it goes like this
[Chorus]
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me till you're drunk
And I'll show you
You want the moves like jagger
I've got the moves like jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like jagger
I don't need try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them the moves like jagger
I've got the moves like jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like jagger
[Verse 2]
Maybe it's hard
When you feel like you're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me
I make you believe
That I've got the key
So get in the car
We can ride it
Wherever you want
Get inside it
And you want to steer
But I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here
And it goes like this
[Chorus]
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me till you're drunk
And I'll show you
You want the moves like jagger
I've got the moves like jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like jagger
I don't need try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them the moves like jagger
I've got the moves like jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like jagger
[Bridge]
You wanna know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
And if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this
So watch and learn
I won't show you twice
Head to toe, ooh baby, roll me right
And if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this
And it goes like this
[Chorus]
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me till you're drunk
And I'll show you
You want the moves like jagger
I've got the moves like jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like jagger
I don't need try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them the moves like jagger
I've got the moves like jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like jagger

The video in question
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RenwNhL1Te0&feature=player_embedded
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wfcc4wfv5A
As I said, what really angered me about this video was the attempt to downplay the offensiveness of what was being said with jokes and word-play. Anger over bigotry is brushed off as 'intolerance' and the entire debate is framed in an 'agree-to-disagree' fashion.
Sorry, but that kind of phony civility becomes the height of offensive when the same people telling you to respect their beliefs and rights think its okay to vote on the rights of others.
As I said, please share this video to as many people as you can. I'm not doing this for my own YouTube exposure - this kind of homophobia and bigotry needs to be called out and exposed. If it isn't, it has the potential to ruin lives. That may sound melodramatic, but its true.
Thanks for watching and sharing.

You can basically do what I did, or you can approach it from a far more detailed, political and legal perspective, or you can approach in a far more abstract, cultural standpoint, focusing mainly on the nature of the society and culture of your country. Even though I didn't, you can create a population and a national history if you want, and you don't even have to make it your *ideal* state - you could create a nightmarish, dystopian dictatorship just for kicks if you want (either because you just want to experiment, or you just have a sick sense of humour :D).
However, if you do want to participate in my little experiment, the following is MANDATORY.
- A territory (either a new landmass, or a new country within or in spite of current national boundaries)
- An official name.
- A flag.
And remember - the main thing to consider when creating an entirely new nation out of thin air... is to have fun :D
Set your video responses to this video, and tell me all about your new country. The sky really is the limit. You can do whatever you want with this challenge. Let me know how it works out!
Happy founding!
