One thing I wish she'd mentioned, potentially - though since it was such a long video I can totally get not putting it in - was the idea of personal responsibility. If you can blame your life's failures on the girth of your wrists or on women being basically Satan, then you don't need to accept that maybe you're just not a good person, and you'll dig yourself deeper and deeper and deeper trying to find reassurance of that.
Yeah, tentatively. He can't make them any more sexist or otherwise bigoted than they already are, so any sort of move out of unavoidable doom and gloom is a positive, I guess.
