Dragons Believe This Book Club Excludes Half The Population | SEASON 19 | Dragons' Den 

Progressives biggest hypocrites on earth

Nobody is against making money

'her business that exludes men' - 75% of books are bought by women. Men are excluding themselves.

feminism 101, nothing new

Agree 🙌

It's just ridiculous to be one sided

You dudes genuinely don't get it. Men are already included, that's the point. Women are underrepresented, despite being the main audience. It's not "sexism" to feature women in this scenario ffs 🙄

@@WobblesandBean asking dudes on the internet to understand any level of nuance when it comes to gender, sexism or institutional misogyny is optimism to the point of foolishness, i'm afraid

@@WobblesandBean you do not give power to an under represented group, giving it exposure to the same group, you open its exposure to everyone, including the other groups. If you wanna create a cult-like, echo chamber system, then go with your method.

yeah, but who cares when theirs a buck to be made...

Exactly, because it is also important that male readers pick up more books from female writers.

Exactly she's trying to fix a problem, when a problem doesn't occur, typical feminist

@@Tideman11 spot on

Well he did set up his first business conning people. How he was ever allowed on the show I don’t know. I guess the BBC never did their research. He’s a slimy individual

He just seems like a boring poser.

The sooner the better. Never invests in anything

Fake statistics though. Considering most books are written by men I doubt 99% of book buyers are women lol.

>women

Really, you couldn't follow the context?

@@kevindunlap5525 I think I’m following it better than most people here to be honest.

@@trunderwood Fair enough. We'll go with humor!

They are obv fellow travelers of the patriarchy, and Molly is the pure one, so that completely explains that.

Recently been involved in a company run by women who told me unofficially they would not be hiring a woman for a series of roles that were coming up... Women job-blocking women go figure... With all this glass ceiling crap we hear about

@@yesand5536 and the males themselves, the patriarchs, are more interested. Weird.

Yeah I’ve noticed Steven is always taking shots at Touker

I love him their all a bunch of greedy snobs.

Steven always makes offers.

How the mighty have fallen 😅

Glad to hear that.

Evan Davis would pay to use that pun.

Very good one

That’s what the culture war has done to men - it’s stifled their voice. If they in any way object to a feminist ambition, they’re just ‘misogynistic, mansplaining morons’.

...Or only Black authors!

There’s literally dozens of them, you can google It.

You would be cancelled bro!

You don't need to cook stats. She said herself "75% of book buyers are female". Therefore, boys are not reading enough, even though 80% of authors are men. You could say that your business is trying to encourage boys to read more, since they are clearly falling behind. It would make more sense than hers.

@@Erickhetfield A book club targeting a demographic that doesn't read much? By no stretch of the imagination does that 'make more sense than hers'.

Not if she accepted it. I wouldn't have but it would have been a huge risk and take a long time to get his $50K back. Investors want to make money, not wait 3-5 years to get their initial investment back while they could be getting interest on their money before investing it. I think she will do fine without the investment, I think maybe she just wanted a Dragon because she said she had $200K in the bank so she didn't really need the cash injection.

He needs to learn to shut up

It went bust. Source : trust me bro

They are currently running but.... only has a value of 3k and assets of 29k. So basically bust...

😂😂 feminist

@@88trapordie More important the dangerous kind.

Not a great business idea .

@@heiltecn9neHow come she’s turned over 500k plus then?

​@@ludvigbjorck7133 500k turnover is nothing. You should look into the business... it's not that great

​@@ludvigbjorck7133 the company is only worth 3k pounds with 29k in assets at this current time. They never hit their turnover marks😂😂😂😂

Turned over 500k but netted 60k lol

Thus companies current value would suggest otherwise. It's only worth 3k😂

someone who believes that the gender will inevitably affect the writing - while the same person will be fuming when someone says there are inherent differences between men and women. go figure

women don't objectify men then?

​@@shaunohagan1491​Whataboutism, lol.

@@shaunohagan1491 Nowhere near to the extent males do, no. It isn't even close. Quick statistic search would do you some good.

The most based comment in this thread.

There is literally only one person here that has said the second comment. How desperate are you Jimmy?

I agree. Also they are lots of women targeted things like this.

exactly lmao... following her logic starting a makeup brand would be a bad idea because it excludes men

But women buy 75% of the books already

@@leehenry5764 I agree haha if they are already buying 75% then what are you aiming for?! Them to buy 100% and men not read at all?..

I was thinking that. You want to raise female issues with a male audience and men issues with a female audience so we understand each other better. Targeting stereotypical female products for female just reinforces the issues and is very 1950s

The only point that stands out would be toxic masculinity ? Care to explain

My first experience with her gave me the assurance and confidence that has made me to invest without fear of losing, I really appreciate her efforts and transparency..

I hold Mary Margaret Schimweg in high esteem because of the weekly profit I am receiving by trading with her strategies.

It's all thanks to Mrs Mary Margaret Schimweg, her trading skills is the best I can think of now.

My financial life has completely changed because am getting UP TO $301,800 total profit just in space of 8months now trading with her services.

Wow, it's feels so relaxing to see my broker being talked about here, I thought I'm the only one that knows Mrs Mary Margaret Schimweg, I guess her good works speaks for her now, she has built a good legacy for herself.

Yes Susan 👏🏾👏🏾

@@88trapordieThank you. What a life this woman must lead is she’s going around bookstores looking at GCSE books to see if the authors are more male than female. I honestly feel sorry for men having to listen to and put up with this crap.

Yeah tbh I sat my GCSE’s last year and literally nobody cares about who wrote the book, it’s only about learning about the book itself and not the author

Aye

@@susanwaugh9711 i feel sorry for boys raised by these women

You can't force someone to be interested in something they're not interested in. Boys in general don't want to open pink boxes, play with barbies, wear dresses and play dollhouse.. that's not because of the parents. Boys in general see superheroes, cars and a football and want to play with them instead.

are you for real??

@@AliceSykesFromWalkerland 100%. Sad I know but I just don’t think women are good at writing

I agree whata stunner.

Agreed

He didn't invest

Plenty of men read books by female authors. This is about the presentation and marketing of the product. It's about amplifying female authors, not selling it to women. Even if she can get a single percent more sales out of marketing this to both men and women, why wouldn't she?

He sure is, bet he's loving the fact "the pride month" is coming 😢

By doing what? Buying her books? Lol

"Yes, my lady, but not with my ships", said the investor

There's a huge difference between, say, trying to sell a small city car to women (appealling to soccer mums or whatnot), and the belief that such car should also be engineered by women.

@@vibovitold why? I'm an engineer, I don't see a problem with it. Who would understand the needs of that market better than someone from that market?

@@SiriusMined this logic sounds oversimplified to me. you obviously don't have to be ill in order to be a great doctor, or be a criminal to be a great criminal attorney. being part of a certain market doesn't really guarantee understanding the NEEDS of this market (better than someone from the outside). otherwise the whole advertising business wouldn't exist :) after all, all they do is promote businesses they're not themselves a part of. or look at fashion design, for instance. have female customers ever been bothered or detered by the fact that Yves Saint Laurent or Armani were male? and didn't boys love J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter saga? were they repelled by the fact they were written by a woman? even if you were right though, why not battle-test it instead of making assumptions. just let the market / your customers decide, voting with their feet? a bookshop can sell "50 Shades of Grey" (written by a woman) and "The Fault in Our Stars" (written by a man) side by side. both attracted record numbers of female readers so why limit yourself? and if something isn't selling well, just take it off your offer, regardless of the gender. the movie "The Fault in Our Stars" was also directed by a man, and it didn't stop it from being a bit hit among women (according to Forbes, "the most incredible statistic coming out of the weekend is that the audience was 82% women"). so why the need to assume that the author's gender should match the reader's gender. i also don't understand what does being an engineer have to do with the point you are making : ) i respect the profession, kudos for you, i just fail to see how it's relevant for our discussion. i'm a software developer - what of it. i don't know about you, but i don't personally use all the software i work on. i just do my job (reasonably) well, and the user doesn't really care who wrote it, they're just happy it doesn't freeze and crash.

I don't think these multi millionares are "jealous" of anyone

you really think they got to where they are by feeling "threatened" by fantastic business opportunities?

Reported for misinformation, anyone else seeing this can do the same 🙌

@unidentified666Not surprised

Always the same BS from this troll.

@@kaj661 Little man syndrome strikes again eh? 🤣

Stop lying you clown
