    I kinda love this talk. I has always been a bit odd to observe how modern feminists who are so full of "girl power" ultimately end up calling for a paternal response from society for their perceived problems. It's always the "business" that needs to do something to protect women.....the "institution" that needs to do something to protect women.....the "system" that needs to do something to protect women....the "administration" that needs to do something to protect women...the "university" that needs to do something to protect women.
    As a gentleman who loves the women in his life, I have no problem with the idea of "protecting women" from certain dangers.....I just find the demand for a paternal response from 3rd wave feminists to be ironic I guess.

      It's both! Men are bigger. 5% of the population are sociopaths and half of them have serious trauma.
      You can walk past a thousand good men in the night , but you will remember the one psycho abuser.
      And the 100 men that looked at you with lust , but no intention of harm will look exactly like him, to you.
      And from a distance - all of them look like the psychopath
      So I say : it's both.
      To my mind Camile Paglia's muscular feminism that acknowledges the threats that women face and encourages them to embrace their own capacity for guts, instinct and adventure is an uplifting vision for women I think.
      She's right that we demand of women to be strong and heroic but then seem to be saying that they can only do this in a pastel safe play -space.
      It's two competing visions that need some kind of Nuance

      Completely agree with your citing "paternalism". I found this talk interesting, I became a father later in life to a daughter, along with my wife that makes two females whose well-being are now more important than my own. I've tried to teach my daughter basic survival skills...how to safely cross the road, to swim, eat right, exercise and knowing the exits anywhere you go. I find younger generations are really into infantilizing themselves through authoritarianism. For instance, many actually think "government" is a useful re-distributor of resources or wealth, or that any authority shares their best interests. None is true, institutions exist to perpetuate the institution, and authorities exist to expand its authority, regardless of their title.
      When victimhood becomes a virtue, we create more victims. On women walking "alone at night"... Men are victims of about 75% of all violent crime. Statistically a man is actually safer walking home at night in the company of a woman than vice-versa. But that's only a stat, situational awareness on a case-by-case basis is primary. Always know the exits and as Mr. Miyagi said: The best way to avoid a punch is to not be there.

    Fear mongering is in fashion across the board, lady. In fact, we're not even allowed to let our children outside to play anymore without an adult hovering within twenty feet of them. Break this rule, and children's services and the police show up at your door for "endangering the life of your children".
    I have had clerks at the store or post office and friends give parting words of, "Be safe," all the time. I'm sick of it.

      The right to be the men they describe when they speak of men. Men have no place, other than a female space. Because all male space is female space.

      @@nc5337 The government has been crowbarring women into men's spaces for decades. The very arguments feminists used to justify it are now backfiring against reasonable women. Men and women are the same they said, there is no difference except socializing. Therefore, women should be allowed into men's spaces and to do the same as men, on an equal basis.
      Guess what? Men in dresses are saying the same thing but the other way around. Your side won, there are consequences, accept them. When women saw only benefits, none of them objected. Now there are negatives, they complain. Too late.

    In Australia, with feminists pushing of the idea of "r@pe culture" on Australian campuses, the Human Rights commission did a survey. Even including instances such as being stared at by non-students on public transport, they found it to be virtually non-existent.
    That is not what feminists wanted to hear. There were protests and riots when a female men's right's activist visited campuses to give the good news, with it falsely reported that she was disputing the findings, which it was assumed had supported the feminists claims.

    It sounds like she's talking about a lack of self confidence and resilience. She's giving examples of how those things can effect women but they're things are culture wide at the moment i think.
    It's probably got something to do with the level of government involvement in our lives as well as some of the anti western thinking coming out of academia. And also just normal human issues.
    It takes a lot of courage and insight to be a genuinely self confident person. It takes a kiind of inner courage that needs to be grounded in good philosophy and we are very confused and incoherent in our philosophy at the moment, as a society.
    We've abandoned religion and the substitutes we've come up with are very flimsy and unsatisfying imo. We're just supposed to be "kind" or "fierce" or "proud" now, its like slogan philosophy (kind of mirrors the slogan politics we're in at the moment too).
