Another gem I found being passed around as funny on facebook.

This woman is NOT very intelligent, clearly. However, what kind of a partner, friend, or decent human being would post a video like this? The answer is: a misogynistic jerk! Videos like this belittle and demean women. I find it annoying that so many people, let alone women, find this funny. I feel deeply sorry for Chelsea. I hope that some day she realizes how demeaning this video is.
One of the other concerning aspects of this video is that is makes this kind of lack of intelligence "cute" and funny. It sends a message to young girls that being stupid is cute and funny and socially acceptable. Its yet another example of systeming misogyny, but even with that being said...it should not be socially acceptable to be more concerned with what your head looks like than the intellectual content inside your head. It should not be socially acceptable to post videos like this online either.
If only feminism spread as easily as ignorance.
