As loud ignorances fills this comment section.
Here something positive.
1. Seeing the complexity of the real world, has nothing to do with dividing anyone.
Intersectional feminism cares for *everyone* and combines these unique experiences into one movement. Not even only focussing on women at all.
2.Because you don't understand something doesn't mean it is not real.
3. Feminism is an academic field there are heaps of research.
And yes every movement has loud idiots that simplify complex ideas.
Nice
Disagreement isnt ignorance.
I am black and a woman. I am double oppressed!!!
yep
Interesting to note all of this negativity is aimed at educated successful women of colour discussing the basics of how people can help create equity among genders.
Says a lot.
And here I thought we were past it. Very disappointing. :p
What does it say?
Roger Young it says that feminism doesn’t include woman of color and that racism is rampant and was at the beginning at the start of feminism
Maybe they just disagree. Its interesting you assumed disagreement must have been race-motivated. Perhaps try not seeing everything through a paranoid racial lens. Life would be a lot easier for you
I wonder if anyone at Global has actually deluded themselves into believing they work at a real news network
@Bonnie Cull im sorry someone hurt you Bonnie
How do you define “real news network?”
we all should be intersectional feminists
very educational
I think the issue with intersectional feminism is that, under the guise of fighting oppression and promoting inclusiveness, it can turn out to favour the opposite and turns its adherents into fanatical bullies. Many adherents of intersectional feminism use it to show that they are “more” victimized than other victims. This ends up creating a hierarchy of classes of victims and, ironically, more division.
There already is division within these communities. Admitting that different communities have different issues isn’t creating a “hierarchy of victims”, it’s the first step to finding solutions that benefit everyone

@@lin-manuelmiranda4527 but one size doesnt fit all. You have peoppe from all demographics experience discrimination. It's just diff depending on the individual. For example there are men who experience more sexism than women, more white people who exprience racism than other races. Many people tend to block whole groups of people together based on their demographic as if their immutable characteristic means they experience discrimination more than another group. Its simply not true. It's about diff individuals experiences.
bruh didn't get to minute 7
They attack traditional feminism as privilege white women who don’t understand Black women have greater struggles, true in most cases (and how about Asian women).... they then complain that feminism in not Inclusive enough.... but to go on and tell men not to speak. Men can be Allies, but not allowed to speak first because they don’t know they never struggled and had inequality experiences.
But men do face inequality in many forms, and it starts when they are boys... Can Intersectional feminists come help Australia there is a Matriarchy in the School system that needs for help of equality. Since the 80's there was a huge rise in female teachers that focused just on women, the education system is poorly gender balanced and young girls get all the roll model support, female leaders and time, which young males suffer, with far less role models and attention. I personally watched all my female and male teachers focus only on girl (because their born into such an unfair disadvantaged in society, which is not true) There is a huge gender gap in the system, that far more men drop out and far far more women complete and move onto higher education because woman have far more support. There must be a 50/50 quota for male/female teachers, all genders need a balance of male teaches. Now far more women in Australia go to university, because of this unfair gender bias inequality and these boys are without role models and leaders, all now suffers at alarming higher suicide rates because of this imbalance. This could also become a worse issue, as many women are bitter from thinking that they are not treated fairly, what do you think will happened when this new generation of young men grow up, watching the selves being left out and suffer because of their gender?
So my question in Intersectional Feminism inclusive or only to fix women’s issues
The like to dislike ratio says it all 🤣
Hmm. It doesn't say that much to me. It's comparable to pretty much every video on RUclips about feminism, regardless of what is said. Unless, of course, a video is meant to bash feminism.
@@Anna133199 That is precisely the point, even women refuse to let angry feminists tell them how to live.
Aisha Addo, Business graduate and successful entrepreneur, and Bee Quammie, Health Sciences graduate and successful writer and broadcaster, join Farah Nasser, Arts graduate and successful journalist and broadcaster, talk about how women of colour are oppressed in today’s society.
Class is implied here, without being stated.
8:50 She's right, however, that doesn't stop people who exploit it for that Supremacist purpose in the same way that Christianity was historically exploited as camouflage for destructive acts.
This returns to Class again; expecting any individuals behaviour to be sufficient to improve society is an oppressive and destructive attitude. The idea that "men" need to listen more, is a very antiquated and discredited approach because it reinforces the "patriarchy" or its equivalents.
Unfortunately, many people are being caught up in Divide&Conquer tactics intended to divert attention from the extreme corruption of our political and corporate structures, so that people see one another as enemies instead of recognising that Likud or the Clintonites or Rogue Intel agencies etc are the enemy.
That was an awesome and educational video thank you for sharing!
Intersectionality in all its flavors is a cult.
I wasnt aware that feminism didnt include women of color
Feminism does include women of colour. It’s just not the main focus of feminism. Therefore feminism as a whole is like Bee said a “blanket” subject, so, it supports all women as a general as if all women have equal struggles. Intersectional feminism just goes more in-depth in regards to each women’s individual struggles with the general relation of being women.
America should emulate African Feminism, and Civil RIghts. I've heard that it's #1
Please explain what laws that discriminate on the basis of gender, race, sexual orientation, or any other trait that people may discriminate against.
Today in society all people are equal. I support equality and can never support preferential treatment for anyone. It seems that some people want preferential treatment, which is wrong. I like the comments on wanting equality.
Not one law sir not a damn one.
How about the fact that government of Canada jobs are specifically calling for women and minority’s in their hiring ads.
@@elchepacabra9658 when ur used to privilege, equality feels liek an attack
Abortion bans, for one. Also, law is not the only way to determine if people are equal or not (I say this as a law student). Hundreds and hundreds of years of social norms and structures that have imprinted prejudices and biases upon people.
just because you support equality doesnt mean other people do. its not solved until it becomes the norm, until intersectionality becomes the conventional definition, it hasn't worked.
wow i love women
I would like to respectfully request an example in current US American law where it is legal to discriminate? Quick question, what is the difference between mansplaining and 00:09:43 “if men listen a lot more than they talk”? Also is it okay for man to explain to women how they should act or behave? is it okay for men to generalize, stereotype women? Lastly is it okay for men to suppress women’s speech, opinions, feelings, or thought? All things being equal I would assume the same would apply if we reversed the question.
Yeah, men being talked about as one stereotypical group like this makes me so irritated... it's not that hard to just say "some men" right?
Talking more than you listen isn't even just a male issue, but a general human mistake 😅
Especially in these SoMe-times!
Missing the point.
@@helenagackowska8398 which is…?
Here come the self proclaimed "alpha males" to cry about how victimized they are by this show. 🍿
The so-called "alpha males" aren't even paying attention to this conversation - they get what they want from women DESPITE all this dishonest conversation about "toxic masculinity" and misogyny. These "alphas" are never short on female companionship, attention, or sex. Alpha males are doing just fine with women.
Intersectionality is inherently flawed. It ends up creating a hierarchy of identity which by definition creates marginalized groups.
This is what happens when you focus on the identity instead of the issues.
It also creates a huge issue of the misuse/waste of resources. You end up helping people who may not need as much help as others because they just so happen to have the"right" identity while denying help to others who have the "wrong" identity despite being genuinely disadvantaged and disenfranchised.
Double victimhood 😂😂
I think it is still admirable and necessary for men to be feminist. If they do not know more about the Intersectional feminism, it is not their fault as no one can think of the things that do not exist in their world so they cannot give meaning to it. We have to do a better job on educating people.
Back to back Oppression Olympics champs
Is this a cult?
The biggest privilege is beauty. Three hot chicks lament about oppression. Yawn.
What the hell is this crap?
Intersectional Feminism. You can be a feminist too, not sexist
Invaders !
And women wonder why men don't take women seriously. This crap is laughable.
You are depressing me with ridiculous theories
