It's really about why we need each other.

First, I don’t see what this has to do with modeling.  It should be posted in off topic. 

Second.  Google has had many discrimination lawsuits filed against it, based on discrimination against males.  The video is presented as if it’s explaining why men are needed, which in itself should make one wonder about the underlying attitude.  What underlying assumption at Google would prompt a company to explain that men are needed in society?

The video however is largely a male bashing presentation continually citing “statistics” such as the very flawed and very criticized Koss survey regarding college sexual assault rates and painting all males in poor light based on the actions off a few.  It’s not informative, it’s propaganda.  It’s presented as if it’s defending males but the underlying message is to portray males as perpetrators and women as victims.   It’s like a backhanded compliment.  It reminds me of how some colleges are taking anti-male women’s studies courses taught by feminists and re-labeling them as men’s studies courses.   

A presentation on why men and women need each other wouldn’t be constantly faulting males as this video does.
