So many misogynists, so little space on my ignore list.
Nope wait, that's endless.

What if he said the same about black people? "Black people have a hard time finding music", because such and such.
So, you see, that means he thinks that ALL races have trouble but he only said black people because he was sitting by black people.
No problem!
Right?
Ever notice how, in commercials on TV, when an ad is trying to make someone in the ad look like the fool or idiot, it's usually the husband/boyfriend/male and not the wife/girlfriend/female? To do the latter causes calls for boycotting the company/product, but no one feels the same when the man is belittled.
Those are really good points I just thought he was restating the premise of the ad which features a celebrity and her friends. I'm literally watching an ad showing an old guy taking a phone call from his financial advisor and being reassured by him. That's like the executive saying something like "some retired people find it very difficult to manage their investments. Our company makes it easy to plan for the future." ... Seems pretty harmless. I think it's the same situation, but people are just way to sensitive when they react to it.
Wow...
You know, I'm a huge liberal. I believe that sexism is a legitimate problem in our society, as is racism and the like.
But I've noticed in the past ten years that a bunch of idiotic harebrained social justice warriors have begun to ACTIVELY SEARCH for things to be offended by. They will ruthlessly take anything you say completely out of context in order to paint you as some mysogynistic women-beating monster. They are less interested in actually fixing sexism than they are in pointing their fingers and calling people sexists.
We're turning in to a lock-step society where people believe it is their constitutional right to never be offended by ANYTHING. If you happen to say something that they misconstrue which offends their delicate sensibilities, they whine and shriek that you're an evil sexist monster.
Seriously, social justice warriors, there are legitimate problems with sexism in this country. Serious issues. But in a way that mystifies and astonishes me to this very day, the social justice warriors manage to turn a righteous cause into an idiotic finger-pointing campaign against people who obviously aren't trying to be sexist.
Somehow, those idiots have managed to turn the country against them even though most people agree with them on the most basic points.
And this is the best part. These same social justice warrior morons will defend the Islamic religion to their dying breath. They've somehow gotten this idea into their idiotic brains that arguing against a religion is somehow racist. ISLAM! The most oppressive, violent, and woman-hating religion on the face of the earth, and these same exact people will supposedly tell you they are trying to fight against sexism.
Just...wow. I try so hard in my every day speech and language to be mindful of privilege and sexism in society, there is NO need to shriek every time someone mistakenly says something that the social justice warriors take completely out of context. There are bigger problems out there than that.

To me it's like he said "retired people have trouble with numbers. That's why we help them."
Can you see how mine is worse even though it's basically the same general message as what you said?
Just being generally the same doesn't mean they're exactly the same.
Whats with the totally misleading headline?
This politically correct bs is getting way incorrect and way over the top.... Everywhere !
Too much.. Way out of ballance!
The guy said nothing.. As in "nothing" wrong...
Whats up with these anal activist????
Chill....

Eh, you're definitely right it almost seems like he was making it up on the spot as part of the rationale behind the video when asked. Whatever the case, my point can be found in the first part of the post right above yours.
Time to read you whingy bastards:

I think it's just the media attacking someone. I don't think most people are really that sensitive. I hope I'm not wrong.
Hey. Long time.
But what we're seeing is that everybody has a voice now. So those few who are offended, can be heard on virtually any subject. The real power is within ourselves to not react to the few outliers who will always be there.
I agree! I made my wife a playlist-- because she is too busy doing more important stuff.
Why do you think he was talking specifically about your daughter? I'm pretty sure he was actually talking about my wife!
This is a great point. We remain hunter-gatherers to this day; but hunter-gatherers of ********.
Wow, the comment was not offensive at all. It's a scenario that is totally plausible and commonly happens around the world. Big whoop. Women and men alike can/do cry over each other after a breakup and many turn to music to find relief. It was a simple example that's just being blown out of proportion.
I love apple.....but I've always disliked iovine. Ok Apple use him behind the scenes to make deals but I don't want to see him or hear him.
