- Hey guys, before we start the video I just want to let you guys know. We've got some shows coming up. Sorry. I'm being so annoying but I want the number one spot. Also to San Francisco,
the first show sold out. Second show is now sold out,
so we're adding a third show. - Wow. - So grab your tickets
gonna be a lot of fun. So yeah, all the info
is in the description. Okay. Enjoy the video. Bye bye. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, what's up? How's it going? And if you're coming back, what's up? How's it going? It's so good to see you again, dude. I hope you're doing well. You see what happens when
you subscribe to my channel? You get an extra greeting at the beginning of every single one of
my videos, so press the subscribe button for an extra greeting, Please and thank you. Folks, (clap) we got
a weird one one today. I'm sure you looked at the title of this video and
thought to yourself, well there's no way that's a real
thing, but unfortunately it is. It is very real. It is a real thing that is
happening and it's scary. All right, so conventions, right? They're fun and cool, right? Sounded so old there, holy shit. They're nifty and neat, but they're fun. You know, there's so many there's so many of them, there's Comic-Con. There's Vid-Con, Mag-Con, (chuckles) Tana-Con, that was pretty cool. I guess it wasn't cool. It was hot. - Hour four of no shade, hot fucking sun. Maybe one day, I'll do Kurtis-Con. - Yes. Yes. - But there's a convention
for everything, man. No matter what you're into,
there's a convention for it. Dude, I Googled vacuum convention and something came up for the Vacuum Cleaner Collector's Convention. There it is right there. There's something for
everybody, and that's great. The interesting thing
about conventions is like anyone can just have one,
anyone can just start one. Like if you advertise it enough and you find the right group of people like people are going to show up and that's cool man, That,
that's pretty crazy. Like I could just, I could
start a bean convention. I could start a, I could
do the 2020 Bean Convention and people would probably show up. Does that actually exist? I'm gonna search bean convention. See what comes up, the
U.S. Dry Bean Convention. (laughing) Oh, are you going to
the dry bean convention? (Bruh sound effect) Catch me at the wet
bean convention, loser. Hold, hold this L bruh. A dry bean versus the wet bean, they got beef or beans. (splat sound effect) And that's great, dude. You can just start a
convention for anything. And that's amazing, right? You could find the people who enjoy the same thing as you do. But on the other side of
that, sometimes large groups of people will share
opinions and viewpoints, that aren't very good. (chuckles) And they'll still meet up and do conventions and everything, right? Like for example, the, the
flat earth society, right? They had that whole flat earth convention. That's like a prime example of a bunch, a community on the internet
who all share the same idea. They organize this thing and
they all share this idea, even though it's wrong,
the whole thing is wrong. So today we're going to be looking at a convention that is
taking place this summer that kind of falls in the same realm as the Flat Earth Convention. Pretty similar how actually, no I think this convention is worse probably. Actually, no not probably, it's worse. So the convention we're
going to be talking about today is called the 22 Convention, which is a convention for women by men. (oof sound effect) Yeah, so I actually found out about this convention from my old boss. He texted me like two
weeks ago and told me that I should make a video
about this, which was nice. I appreciate that. You
know, even after I quit, still telling me what to do. No, I'm kidding. He's great. But no. So I did some research
on it and dude, it is, bonkers my guy. So this convention is put on
by a company called 21 studios. What's nine plus 10 studios studios. - (child voice) 21. - Studios. And they have this whole
convention every year called the 21 Convention where it's just teaching men how to be better, right? And on paper, that sounds great, right? That sounds like a great idea. But when it actually
happens, when you see it it's basically just a
bunch of misogynistic dudes teaching other dudes how to treat women like shit.
For example, let's watch this quick video from
their YouTube channel. - Let's talk about this.
Let's talk about pink pussy hats, right? - Okay. Right off the bat. Huh? No matter what you say next
you're gonna sound insane. Okay. Let's proceed. - If I got together my
buddies, instead of putting on a pink hat, I put
on a white hat and had a big fucking sign that
said the future is white, heads would explode. (slowed down sound effect) Heads... would... explode... - Bruh. - But you change the color hat to pink and change white to female.
Oh, you're so brave. Oh, so fucking brave, so courageous. Are you- fucking- dude- - That's disgusting.
That's fucking supremacism right out in the open. - I, - (chuckles) Yo. - That's sick shit man, sicker than this. - How dumb is this dude. Holy shit. I can make a whole fucking
video about just what he said, Not going to, it's pretty
easy to explain, white guys Aren't marginalized at all. Right? Like this dude just compared
the KKK white supremacy to girls being like, hey can, can you guys treat us
like human beings please? Bro, holy shit that's insane. So yeah. These are the people who are putting on an event to make women better. - Oh, you're real fucking
nasty, you're disgusting. - Bad group of people to be
putting on that convention dude. I'll tell you that for free.
That's like if a bucket and country boy put on a
city boy convention, right? It's way less harmful but, you
know what I'm trying to say. Right? City, a city boys,
more like shitty boys. All right fellas, today
we're going to learn how to flirt with our sisters. But first, what are we going to do? - (group of voices) Pack a lip motherfuckers. - That's right, pack a lip motherfuckers. Yee Yee. Yeah, I'd go to that for sure. Also another thing they
hire pickup artists to like do speeches and like give keynotes. You want to be taken
seriously dude, don't employ pick-up artists, (chuckles) also who the fuck called them that? Who called them pickup artists, right? They're not doing art at
all. that's not artistic whatsoever. Yeah. I
actually go to pick-up art school so it's whatever. Yeah. I'm actually trying to get my
eligible bachelor's degree. Ah ha ha, fuck. So they've been putting
on this 21 Convention for a few years now, but
I guess this year they decided to do a separate
convention for women. For some reason. I don't know, I don't
know why they did that. I'm really curious as to
how that pitch meeting went. All right everybody, thank you
so much for coming to this, this meeting today we have something very important to discuss. So we want to do another convention for, for women, okay? And
we just don't know who should, who should speak
at this convention? So we're open, I'm open
to suggestions, okay. What if we just hired a
bunch of women who, who are like educated and they know,
they know what it's like, to, like be a woman the
struggles and hardships that they face, you know? So then we know like we're getting, we're giving off the right information and then everybody can
leave the convention happy and you know, learning
something about themselves. (laughing) You got me. (group chattering) Oh man, I crack myself up. I crack myself up. I
don't know how I do it. (sad music) (crying) Why won't they have sex with us? Let's take a look at their
website and learn more about it. Shall we? So the world's ultimate event
for women, the 22 Convention you'll learn everything
about being a woman from guy with hair and guy with no hair. Okay, make women great again. SM, super misogynistic. Got it. We know. (laughs) Okay. So let's start reading
about this convention. Women today are being
taught to act more like men. Where has that led us? Skyrocketing rates of broken families, a
documented decline in female happiness since the 1970s, endless social and dating
dysfunction and America at the number one spot in the world for single motherhood.
No longer will you have to give into toxic
bullying, feminist dogma and go against your ancient
biological nature as a woman, the men have arrived to help. Oh. (retches) So I think, what they mean by that is that women are finally being put in like positions of power and
being and they're allowed to like do what they want
and like dress how they want like men have been able to
for- (computer sounds) ever. And I guess that upsets
them for some reason. They must see that and just
be like, wait, hold on. You can't do that, you
got, you gotta stay home make me hot dogs. You can't go and, and chase your own goals and aspirations. You bitch, you aspirational bitch. You girl, you cook-y cook. Me guy,I work-y work. Okay, so then they talk about
how women are too focused on you know, this, the stupid pointless shit, like their job and their hobbies and their friends and
their personal happiness and wellbeing. When they
should just be focused on pushing out little
babies, little crying, (baby crying) tiny humans, right? Cause that's all they're good for I guess. Man, I'm learning so much. Then they do this paragraph about how body positivity is a lie and, and then they just body shame women, man. They're really ticking all the boxes on the asshole checklist right? They're killing it, dude. They're gonna get a fucking,
perfect score on their SATs the sexist and terrible. (applause) Good job. The truth is that both
positive masculinity and femininity have been under relentless attack for decades. Both have taken catastrophic,
social, cultural, personal and philosophic damage for
tens of millions of people. The result is a depolarized mess where men act like women, women act like men. Everyone's confused and
nothing works anymore. Oh my God dude. Dude, that whole like
women acting like men and vice versa. That's
just, fucking so gross to read out loud. Holy moly. Where like, I feel like these guys are from like the year 1860 and they got into a time machine that brought them to like, the Ghostbusters remake premiere, and then they went and made this website. They were just like, fuck I don't even know what the original Ghostbusters is, because we're from the 1800s. But, but it's not supposed to be girls, girls can't bust ghosts. Raise your femininity by 500%. (laughing and coughing) Hey man, by, fucking pardon? Can you show your work
on that one, please? I would love to see how
you arrived at that number. I feel like if you raise any aspect of yourself by 500%, I
think that's dangerous. If I raise my masculinity
by 500%, I think I'd die. Or it would at least fuck
me up forever, right? I'd become some sort of
like vampire, some shit. But like a real manly
version, a 'Man-pire'. Instead of blood I'd be
like sucking out craft beer. I'd have to just find my
next source of craft beer. And instead of like garlic,
like keeping me away from places, it would be, it'd
be my nagging wife, right? (audience laugh track) Or on the other hand maybe,
increasing it will be like, turn you into some sort
of like superhero, right? Come on down to the convention, and you'll raise your
femininity levels by 500%, you'll become the most
woman, woman in the world. You'll be, you'll become
'Woman-Girl' and you'll rule the world from the
kitchen to the bedroom, dating your relationships,
marriage, family, - [Buzz Light year] and beyond. - Okay, let's keep reading. Get pregnant and have unlimited babies. (laughing) Dude. Who's picking these titles, right? (scary voice) Increase your femininity by 500% and have unlimited babies, you'll be unstoppable. You're unhinged, whoever wrote that, you're unhinged. Bro I can't believe that, unlimited babies dude. That's, that's 'Woman-Girl's superpower. It's just (poof) spawning babies. (baby cries) Okay. So if you make it
past all that, somehow, you get to see the speakers
who know all about women. And then we get to see the
ad for the 21 Convention. They've put a nice warning on their poster which is really nice. I don't know if misogynist
is synonymous with badass. I know a really quick
fix for this warning to make it like actually make sense. You just take the bad out of it. And then it's just your man
will walk out a certified ass. I don't know about you guys, but this sounds pretty awesome to me. So let's go, let's see
how much tickets are. (Horn alarms) (tense music) One, thousand, dollars. Dude, the Vacuum Cleaner collectors Club Convention is only
$30, and it's probably the most spotless convention center floor in the world. Drop anything on the ground. You're fucking set, dude. So many vacuums, but dude, a grand, dude, a G, geez. (booing crowd) Not G's, just one G , but geez, you know. Oh, okay, well I guess it was $2,000 and then they put a
little line through it. So it's actually a pretty good, I guess it's a good deal now. Okay. I'll buy it. There's something so gross and entitled about this whole thing. And when I was doing research on this, I, I watched way too many of these videos. But one I saw made me
cringe, like so hard dude. So, so let's watch that one. - I think we need a, we need a positive counter movement. And we need
something positive for women. Destroying feminism is
the key to doing that. But in the meantime, we need something along with it as well. We need to make women great again. (crowd laughing) (applause) - Oh God man, like you could
tell, like he was so excited, to grab that fucking
red hat and put it on. He thought he was so sick. Oh my God. (audience continues applause) You can tell he like put his arm, he like put his hand on the hat, like as soon as he started
saying the sentence. He was like, dude this
is going to be huge. (rock music) (applause) See this is what the president said, Now I changed one of the words. The whole like make women great again, thing that they're saying it's the same as the fucking president did, right? Like when he was like,
make America great again, he was talking about like, back in the day everyone was openly
racist and they would beat the shit out of people and it was fine. We should do that again. And this is like make women great again. They're saying it like, back in the day women used to just like,
not really do anything and just stay at home and make food for me when I come home and
just kind of be robots with no emotions. Can't
we just do that again? Like dude, what the fuck man? That's so gross. Look, I'm all for dudes
bettering themselves right? But you can do that without
putting women down, right? And like sticking to these
gender roles that don't even fucking matter at all. Like who gives a fuck,
if women are having as many babies, right? Who cares, man? I'd like to think that they're
just really ill-informed about everything and they must be, because there's no way any logical person would sit down and like even just think about feminism for
more than five seconds and be like, oh, okay it's the Ku Klux Klan basically. Dude, there's no fucking way. That's insane. And I don't have to
explain what feminism is to my audience because they're not dumb, but I'm really just going over this for the people who are
running this convention. Because I feel like
they're, they're going to watch this video because whenever someone makes something about
their convention, they post about it, and they're like - (robotic voice) This feminist snowflake. - The thing about
feminism, is that it just, or you're just advocating
for equal rights. And that should be great, we should all be hyped on that, and I'm sure people are going to comment, Well
if we have equal rights then I should be allowed
to hit a girl, right? And if you, if you think that, just go, just pick up a phone book
and just call a therapist. Just any therapist, make
an appointment because if your first thought is, oh, I'm allowed to hit women
now, you got a problem dude. If you, if a girl wants
to stay home all day, just cook, raise her kid,
just be a stay-at-home mom. Fucking cool, man. That's rad. That makes him happy then that's great. But you're allowed to not want that. And that's fine, right? You should just accept
that everybody's different. But they obviously can't
because they all look the fucking same dude. (laughs) (clown music) They all look exactly the same. They all looked at Dan Bilzerian once and they were like oh, okay that's me now, forever, thank you, bye. I would love to go to
this thing and see what it's actually like, but
one, I'm not a woman and two, I don't want to
give them a thousand dollars, but to the people at 21 Studios, you're probably watching, I just want to let y'all know this ain't it chief. So I got some more
suggestions for you, okay? Here are some other conventions you can do that are in the similar fashion of the 22 convention, where
you just hire speakers that know fucking nothing about
what they're talking about. The Deodorant Convention, hosted by middle-school kids named Zach. Or the Hair Care Convention, with speakers like Mr.
Clean and Jason Statham. Or you could do a Music
Marketing Convention. And the main speakers
are U2 and Justin Bieber. Or I don't know, you could do an Unfunny and Not Cool
Convention and I'll host it. Okay. I'll be the main host. Cause I don't know what
the fuck that's like. (crowd screaming) But yeah, I don't know
if you're a subscriber of mine, I'm pretty much
preaching to the choir but, I wanted to make this video to hopefully change the mind or start inspiring someone to think differently if they do agree with this whole thing. All right, that's all I'm going to say. Fuck. That was heavy, dude. I'm ready to, I'm just
ready to fucking chill dude. Kick, put, put my legs up and relax. Now you listen to a nice
audio book or something. (boing sound effect) That's right. It's time we hear a word
from today's sponsor Audible. Take it away Stripe 'Shirt-is'. Guys, it's the new year, it's 2020 dude. You know, we got to set

drank too much gingy pop.
I love that Kurtis can make light of pretty much anything no matter how shitty it is
So i came across this on my Youtube feed as i follow the author of the video Kurtis Conner (who i would recommend as a fairly progressive comedian) and i decided to post his take on it rather than the videos by that group as i don't want to infect your youtube feed with a pollution of MAGA/MGTOW/BULLSHIT.
These guys run some convention called "21 convention" and essentially they charge other men $999 to tell them how they're right and feminism sucks, because that's better than working on self improving.
If you want to skip to a highlight of the convention
Anyway, leaving this for you guys to analyze, cringe and hopefully laugh a little about.
EDIT: resubmitted post as to fix the title.
I used to buy what these kinds of guys were selling. You know what drew me away from that crowd?
They're not actually very masculine. In fact, the only masculine traits they generally have are penises and beards.
They have a victim mentality. They whine constantly. They never do anything for themselves. They never work in masculine fields. They brag about being competent and tough, but decline to compete when challenged. They gossip nonstop. They think that owning the accoutrements of masculinity (guns, cigars, scotch, etc) proves their masculinity. In short, they don't have much in the way of actually masculinity.
They literally worry that being around a trans woman will turn them gay (this is far more common than you might expect), or that simply being around gay men or women will make them less manly. They think that having emotions will erode their manhood. In short, what little masculinity they do have is as fragile as a glass rose.
Now, I've met masculine men with antiquated notions about women. I've met masculine men who think that it's a woman's place to stay home and have kids. But their ideas about feminism differ from these guys in one important aspect; they don't really care what women do. Even when they think women should be at home in the kitchen, when they meet a female CEO, they just shrug and say "well, it takes all sorts, I guess."
But the majority of masculine men I've met have internalized that "none of my business" attitude. They would not usually describe themselves as feminists, but they'd agree with all the principles of feminism. When asked "what's a woman's place?" they would answer either "I dunno, I'm not a woman," or "Who cares? I'm trying to rebuild a carburator, here." And that's when they don't give you the stinkeye, wondering if you're one of those women-haters who keep making the rest of us look bad.
This dude is funny, man. Thanks so much for introducing me to him.
I think I'm too old and cranky to be able to watch this style of video without rolling my eyes every ten seconds. I only made it about 5 minutes in, but I get it and this is definitely stupid.
$1,000 for someone to tell you how horrible you are......seems legit 😒
Didn't expect to see Curtis on here! ♥ He once showed his Google analytics was 80% women. Let's even that out and bring more men into the fray!
Saw that as soon as it appeared in my notifs, Love Kurits Conner and the other similar youtubers.
Pretty sure he's done some other similar videos, relating to picking up girls and other possible super masculine topics, but mostly because they're reality shows doing those things.
I was sceptical at the first few minutes but it turned out to be a really good video.
