36 Questions Women Have For Men (BuzzFeedYellow) (Part 1/3)

So a year ago (damn I'm late to this party, aren't I?), BuzzFeedYellow released a video titled "36 Questions Women Have For Men". You can see the video (link down below), but it's ridiculous in every way (though I will admit: seeing the like:dislike ratio restored my faith in humanity a little). So, I got my brain ready for this test, and here are the answers to the burning questions that women just need to know.

1. How does it feel to be the same sex as Donald Trump?
I don't know, how does it feel to be the same sex as Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Ann Coulter, Tomi Lahren, KellyAnne Conway, Bloody Mary, Betsy DeVos, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Myra Hindley, Ilse Koch, Irma Grese, Katherine Knight, and Elizabeth Bathory? Personally, I like being a man; I like having a dick, balls, and a prostate. I don't give a crap if Donald Trump is a man too, he doesn't represent the billions of the other men in the world who don't act like he does.

2. Why do you hate Rom-Coms?
I don't.
2a. Or do you just feel like you need to hate them?
No...I'm sorry how is any of this important? Some men don't like Rom-Coms, so the fuck what? I know some women don't like action or horror films, but I don't hear men complaining about that.
2b. Everybody likes The Notebook, everybody likes Beyonce. It's just a fact.
Actually there are many people who don't like either. Nice try, though (also, when was Beyonce ever in a rom-com? I'm pretty sure 'Austin Powers: Goldmember', 'Obsessed', and 'The Pink Panther' don't fit into that genre).

3. Why do you make women sit around and talk about men in movies, when y'all easily sit around and talk about boobs for hours.
Um, how do the first and second parts of this question correlate to each other? First, only a small fraction of men do either of those particular things (sure they talk about boobs, but not "for hours"), and second, why is it bad that men talk about their interests with you? You know the whole world doesn't revolve around women's hobbies and vocations, right? It's give and take. Compromise. You both discuss what you want to discuss, even if the other person has no interest in it. This isn't something only men do. And neither is talking about sexualized parts of the human body (I'm looking at you, ladies who talk about dick size to your girlfriends).

4. Why do you automatically assume that you won't like TV or Movies that star a female lead?
I don't. The gender of the lead character doesn't mean shit to me (and most men). I mean, do you automatically assume that you won't like a TV show or movie that stars a male lead? Once again, this isn't a thought only men have (and not even the majority of men think this way).

5. Why are you surprised when women are funny?
I'm not. Some of the greatest comedians on Earth are female (Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, iiSuperwomanii, Kathy Griffin, Joan Rivers, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Jenna Marbles, Iliza Schlesinger, Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig, Mamrie Hart, etc.). Once again, how many men actually think that women aren't funny? There seems to be a lot of generalization going on here.
5a. I'm probably funnier than you
Going by the tone of this questionnaire so far, you seem to take things way too seriously. So yeah, I'm not going to take your word for that.

6. Why do you think that we're obsessed with you when we hook up?
Huh? What the...who are you talking to? A dousche-y frat-boy? Either I've been living under a rock, or you have never actually 'hooked-up' with a man before.
6a. 9 times out of 10, I just want you to leave too. I'm busy, I got shit to do.
Hold on, are you actually trying to argue that men think you're obsessed with them when you hook up, despite the fact that you want him to leave too? 'Too' implies also, which means that he wants to get out there just as much as you do. That's what 'hooking up' means, casual sexual activity without commitment or emotional attachment.

7. Why can't I sleep with as many people as I want to without being judged?
Is this questionnaire still directed at men? Cause I'm pretty damn sure that women are calling you a slut and judging you as well.
7a. When men do it, they're congratulated.
The only people congratulating man-whores are other man-whores and--gasp!--other women also congratulate them! This isn't a gendered behavior. The majority of society considers 'lady killers' and 'man eaters' as morally bankrupt, sexist pigs. It's disgusting behavior no matter which gender you are.

8. Why do you consider a women a 'tease' if she doesn't sleep with you after three dates, but a 'slut' if she sleeps with you on the first date?
Okay, are you even trying? We're not even a quarter of the way through this questionnaire and you've already lost the track. Say this with me: only douschey frat-boys and man-whores actually think this way. Also, this isn't gendered behavior either: women are also calling each other sluts for sleeping with a man too soon into the relationship. You seem to have a lot of misguided anger directed towards men, and I honestly don't even think you've ever talked to a real man before if you are seriously asking questions like this.

9. In what world does 'no' mean 'yes'?
Um, the one we're living in? Unless the dictionary changed the meaning of the word 'no' while I was asleep last night, I'm pretty no means what it has always meant.
9a. No means no
Again, this has already been established. Also, do I need to bring back the frat-boy/man-whore argument again? Because they're the ones who take advantage of women, not the rest of the male species who respect women, their choices, and their needs. Oh, and does this question extend to women as well? Cause they take advantage of people too, male or female. Women aren't this infallible sub-group of humanity that hold all of the qualities that men lack.

10. Why do you say that women are 'too emotional' to be leaders, then justify cat-calling by saying that 'men just can't control themselves'?
Frat boys. Man whores. THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY DO THIS SHIT. Any self-respecting man with half a decent mind doesn't care worry about women's sensitivity affecting their leadership. Anyone that is overly emotional isn't fit to be a leader; they lack the objectivity and mental strength required of the position. This isn't a woman-only issue.

11. Why do you think that just because you're nice to me, I owe you my body?
Ok, at least you're bringing awareness to 'Nice-Guy Syndrome'! These small sub-set of men (cough Shawn Mendes cough) is annoying as shit, not just to women but to the rest of the male population who would actually take the time to know a girl and connect with her somehow before they hit the sheets. The 'nice-guy' is a stereotype, not a representation of men in general.

12. Why would you ever send an unsolicited dick pick?
Only frat boys and man-whores do this shi-OH FUCK IT YOU'RE NOT EVEN LISTENING
