    If you had told me this video included a hyper-educated woman with a British accent discussing feminism through the analytical lens of a Disney movie character I would have expected to be insufferable and unlistenable. Turns out it was smart, hilarious and engaging. Not sure what wave of feminism this is but I'm all for it.

      If you're asking me It's a dumb thing to have to say because that's the way it should have always been. It blows my mind that we have to even be happy about it. This is of course in reference to transwomen being included on panels to talk about their feminism. Which is just utter bull crap because they are men. They only have a superficial idea of what it is to be a woman , and I'm being generous.

    I really do think we women in the west need to address the horrors that other women in poorer/religiously patriarchal countries are still suffering under. Sod the threats of being called Islamaphobic or white saviours. Surely freeing those women from subjugation is more important than our feelings of being slandered 😕

    I wish I’d heard conversations like this when I was a teenager. I wasted so much of my life pursuing a career when nothing has given me as much fulfillment as being a mother. We put so much emphasis on encouraging young women who want to be boss babes that we lost the reality that most women, particularly once they exit their 20’s, don’t want that life. Some love it and never want kids and that’s totally fine, but we focus on them at the expense of so many more who just want traditional gender roles.

      “20$ a day to feed astronauts? How about you feed the poor children!”
      There’s a fallacy called the relative privation fallacy.. it’s basically that.
      At the end of the day your theory assumes the only acceptable criteria for decision-making is to prioritize the weakest and the minority, which is very female typical and works well when caring for infants, so it sounds correct to scale it up, but it *does not* account for lots of factors like entropy. You lose big to natural decay as you scale up this protect infant/destroy dissenters dynamic which stultifies the most productive, sacrificing their productivity instead of letting them make rational sacrifices that in the long term improve conditions.

    Would this conversation be at all helpful to you?
    Taking time to "volunteer" as a second career while child rearing to later go "back to college" and pursue a final fulfilling career?
    I love this idea and do think you all genuinely care. But this is the solution for champagne problems.
    There are women suffering in this country - in addition to the subsistence farmer in Greece (patronizing) or women in some oppressive automatically *presumed* Islamic regimen. (not a good look)
    There's plenty of work to be done uplifting others even if we have the privilege of being comfortable. We shall not suggest they "eat cake" while we debate the merits of vegan vs gluten free.
    "Feminism" is losing legitimacy because it has become the plaything of socioeconomically comfortable & intellectual bourgeoisie, ladies.
    As a woman with several advanced degrees - I DO love a good intellectual debate. We have become out of touch as a result of our success.
    Let's just be real - this is not a practical or particularly useful discussion for the vast majority of women who could benefit from the fruits of feminism.

    And I think her counter point to the "never been happier since giving birth" crowd is well placed. It's not everyone's experience. If it is, then fabulous! If not, then women's opportunities shouldn't be curtailed. Simply put, as a human, if it's working for you and not harming anyone else, then do that.
    The notion that women should be shamed because of either experience is point-blank bonkers. (I realise western society for some time now has been shaming and not supporting women who wanted to stay at home and raise a babies, and that's been pure bullshit.)

    It is so refreshing to hear rational conversation regarding women, mothers, and feminism.
    Kathleen Stock hit the nail on the head when she said get feminism out of academia. (I would add race relationships/DEI.)
    Academia, the way it’s presently formed, is not only destroying feminism, but race relations, and the practice of healthcare.
    When all medical societies have signed on to genderism, one realizes how deep and pervasive the ideological capture is throughout our culture.
    We are at an inflection point and have been for 60 years. We are still dealing with the fallout of the most impactful invention in the history of mankind that occurred in the late 50s and early 60s: oral contraception. Along with oral contraception the other ingredient recently added has been an unchecked white misandry throughout academia that is leaking into all institutions.
    What I find ironic, is most men I know are more traditionally feminist than women. We want women’s sports to be Title IX not Entitled Kind.
    I love you all and I know how a healthy status returns: A) Men realize that an orgasm, no matter how exquisite, is just a carnival ride and is a very small part of a loving, caring companionship; B) Woman (because of conversations like this) will resonate with the reasoning you engendered of what life is, what they want, and not to limit themselves. If they are able to go slow and look at the entire buffet line, they won’t load their plate up at the pastry station, but sample all of it.
    Lastly, there will always be the others. What we vets say about them: they crash the party, then complain about the service.
    Thank you so much. xo Doc

    What a great discussion between some of my favorite women-that-are-not-my-wife. I'm a huge fan of Bridget, saw a lot of Diana some years back but lost track of her. Mary is everywhere right now and I find the convoluted thoughts of her 'ridiculously overeducated brain' (paraphrasing her own words) highly interesting. Anna was new to me but had really great thoughts and I will be checking out what she's done. Kathleen I mostly know from her 'case' and interviews given about how she was hounded out. The format was excellent also, Anna mentioned in the beginning. Debates can be tiresome, whereas talks between people who are actually trying to come to a solution is more positive and productive.

    However, what I wonder is why do we have to keep at having feminism, why keeping a vaccine after the disease has been eradicated? Hasn’t feminism come to a point where it is superfluous and pointless or even worst, contra productive?

      Especially as the most minuscule drop of truth you can get out of its proponents, after they are placated emotionally, is “Well this is _really bad_ , _but_ without it things would be worse”

    • @deadman746
      @deadman746 Месяц назад +1

      I'll answer this from the perspective of diachronic cognitive linguistics and science. This is not specific to feminism; it applies generally to politics. It is also not specific to progressivism. You can see it in any use of signs.
      Let us stipulate that feminism is a progressive _idea._ This seems accurate to me. There will be communities and organizations that form around ideas. They usually start off honest. Over time, they will have some success and get a good name. The good name will attract people who want to use the good name as a cover for underlying beliefs that conflict with the original intent. E.g. progressive communities in many cases will be coöpted by people who are regressive.
      This has happened before, during the Progressive Era. The third _progressive President,_ Woodrow Wilson, segregated federal facilities by melanization for the first time in history. He also came up with a racist school book program that would make Ron DeSantis weep with envy if he were smart enough to read. The progressive _bloc_ pushed Prohibition and Eugenics. The latter included forced tubal ligations for women deemed _feeble-minded_ by the state. Somewhere between 40,000 and 60,000 women were sterilized. See the Supreme Court case _Buck v. Bell,_ easily available online. Oliver Wendell Holmes, whom Justice Elena Kagan claimed was her model of _judicial restraint,_ penned the opinion stating, "Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Carrie Buck read the newspaper every day, but she also had been raped by a relative and blamed for it.
      Holmes was also responsible for the first two of several Supreme Court decisions that made it illegal to criticize the government for a half century, only reversed in 1969 in _Brandenburg v. Ohio._
      I do not assert that modern _progressives_ are that bad, but I have yet to find a book or a progressive willing to fess up to this history. I would be surprised to find one willing even to engage in a good faith discussion. Yes, people and movements can change, but when all they do is deny and scream *_CHUD_* I feel no obligation even to consider them adults.
      TLDR: a lot of _progressives_ are functionally regressive, and there appears to be no push amongst _progressives_ to fix this.
      As for feminism, when I was on the faculty of FSU and had access to good sources, I studied the history of Anglo women's movements back to the printing press. There's about a 40-year cycle, and we happen to be in a regressive phase. It should get better around 2037. But this response is already as much as I am willing to type without a proper keyboard.

    Good panel and discussion. I would have liked to hear more about how modern, ascendant feminism dehumanizes men and how (and why) the pushback seems to come from only the Andrew Tates of the world. The "man vs bear" discourse exemplifies an overt misandry that is increasingly present in other forms of media (perhaps most famously all of Disney's recent output). In fact I'd love to hear a discussion about it that doesn't come back around to "well we shouldn't antagonize them because then they'll not like us" but focus on the real problems of the position itself, and mental health impact such widespread dehumanization has on men. If women's issues are human issues, then the converse is also true, and feminists of good faith need to speak up loudly against the overt and pervasive dehumanization and demonization of men, much of which appears to come from within feminist circles.

    Bloke here. I spent most of my life being broadly in support of feminism (as it used to be). However, it changed in 2014 and has since become very antagonistic towards men & masculinity.
    It now feels more like a far-left political supremacy movement rather something that seeks reasonable discourse, joint agreement and balance.
    The above is the why I think political trends in men have been observed to have changed direction towards the right since 2015-16, an increasing prevalence of MGTOW (which is not the answer, imho) and an increasing rejection of feminism.
