"Modern feminism is about pushing misandristic propaganda, not equal rights." -- bryosgirl
The only flaw with this being the word "Modern" as far as I can tell, it was ALWAYS like that.  Though I could be wrong.

"No true Scotsman fallacy.

All the big time feminists out there are pushing the misandry, the victim complex, the self entitlement and all the rest of the package. If that's really not true feminism, where's all the "real" feminists shouting these idiots down?" -- Lord T Hawkeye
"When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world—'No. You move.'"

It's not really clear whether you're saying the video is not a win, or the comments on the video are not a win. Some of each seem to have valid points, although some of what the video portrayed is illegible.

How is it unclear?  I put my thoughts near all of them.  Except Hawkeye's, as it was rather blatantly win. :P

I think he was talking about your sentence, "From the comments of this video (not a win)." Does the "not a win" part refer to the comments or to the video?

Yes, that was what I was referring to.

Referring to the video.  I've always done it that way and no one else ever had any issues with it.  I learned in English that the closer the pro-noun (or whatever you call what I put near it :P) is, would be the one it goes with as a rule of thumb.

In this case, I'd call it a qualifying clause. In any case, thanks for clearing that up. In this case, the meaning of the sentence is different if "the comments on this video" is taken as the subject, or "this video" is taken as the subject.

Would this go in here? I'm not sure whether I agree completely or not.
