      I totally agree with her point that some don't want to get their hands dirty so they focus on softer and (potentially) less important issues. This is so true and symptomatic of so many so called activists and campaigners, and severely undermines the push and struggle for real change on important issues.

As it results in a tradable item within the context of an organized community. (Certainly there were parallel professions e.g. pottery). Prior to that 'midwifery' was simple what happened naturally: women helping women give birth and not rewarded with currency. @@as3609

      I was in a French class back in 2005ish. The teacher asked the predominantly female class who identified as a 'feminist'. Almost no one. She was horrified that women ranging in age, occupation and race didn't want the label of feminist which in her mind was Julie's generation of warriors; not today's clique of whiners.

      15 years ago my favorite english teachers in highschool were feminists. They exuded a love for the subject of English and were perfectly happy to talk about feminism but didn't bully anyone with rhetoric into echoing their beliefs back at them.
      They gave me a great respect for feminists and a lifelong love of English.
      Sadly, my most disliked lecturer in university is an English lecturer who claims she's a feminist but she is of the contemporary kind that can't define what a women is.
      Her classes are heart breaking.
      I've lost all respect for the modern incarnation of feminism and those that support it.
      I've learned that the contemporary form of feminism is a pseudo-feminism that doesn't care about women except for those women that agree with their beliefs. It bullies people to see the world their way and dehumanizes those that don't.
      I'm well aware of respectable feminists existing. They're the sort who faced bullets in Iran not too long ago, they show an actual understanding of men's psych and issues and get called terfs for mentioning the biological differences between men and women or arguing against allowing men in women's spaces.
      I still respect feminists, just not all of them and know for sure that not all feminists that call themselves feminists are in fact, feminists.
      Anyone who wants a good English education are better off downloading textbooks and taking courses on RUclips.
      Much cheaper too.

      "men shouldn't be allowed to pay for sex" is misandry. And comparing something meant for adults to child abuse is completely intellectually dishonest.
      Also men and women not getting laid is a false comparison. Sex is healthy for men. It's part of being a healthy man. Men can get issues from not ejaculating. Women don't have that problem or a body designed for initiating sexual intercourse.
      This woman is a puritan. She uses the worst examples as the norm, she uses what she calls the norm as a way to argue against ways to make things safer.
      This idea that men think they're "entitled" is deeply offensive. Men are sexual. Human beings are sexual. Nothing will change that.

    Hello, great conversation. I'm a female firefighter and wanted to add my piece about the uniform talk. Female firefighters are 30% more likely to get burns than their male colleagues because the uniform doesn't fit properly. That's the main issue for me. Yes, it is a male dominated industry and it will take time to adapt to a rise in women but this is quite a basic thing. There is a lot of misogyny in the fire brigade so focusing on minor stuff (like air conditioning that we do not have in stations anyway) seems so trivial.

It truly is a WTH shock. So, females used what power to get a man/male to decide they think they are a female...and then "get" them to act on it? Whenever I see or hear this kind of nonsense (stupidity really), I'm thinking this is a person that holds a deep issue with and against females. You need to go back in your booth, Booth. Although, I will agree with you that today we are at a level of lunacy with the trans movement. But these are men/males that are pretending to be female. So, following your logic, it is men/males that are pulling our fabric to shreds because they are now at the top of "victimhood".

We have comodified it. Porn doesn't need adverts. It's seeked out because of our programming. We need to cut the supply off and then the prerequisites of being in a stable relationship will return. No porn and sex workers will force men to step up and find a partner. As humans we like the easy route in most cases. We need to make the easy route through marriage again... Its a very messy situation with the blame laying at the feet of both sexs.

      An artist selling art does not become a slave because money is involved. Arguably, anybody who has known an artist has probably also known one that values their art beyond all else.
      Bindel just hates certain women, she spreads this hate and hides her views about being merely a so-called "political lesbian" so that she can appeal to a broader base.

    As a woman...I'm hoping a male firefighter comes to drag my butt out of a building. Jobs that require a lot of physical strength are going to draw men more than women because they are inherently stronger...this being most of the time, but not all. It makes me angry that they lower the bar for women so they can meet "standards"...but they aren't really the standards. We do ourselves zero favors by allowing women to be "less than" in positions all for the sake of equality and diversity.

      That's the whole problem with inclusion. If it was simply a myth that men develop more physical strength, it would be a non issue. But since standards have to be lowered in military service, police and all other physical work that serve the community, it makes inclusion a dangerous thing indeed. There are very physically strong women that would hand my ass to me in a fight any day, but sadly that's not the reality of a big slice of women. A very trained woman and a very trained man trying to lift the same thing will yield different results. And that's my whole protest to all of this as well. We can argue about sports any day of the week, but public servant organizations and armies should find suitable jobs for those who cannot pass the bar. There's always something one can do that doesn't put lives at risk in those occupations. Women are just as cognitively gifted as men are and should use their brains and abilities to use without having to do the exact same jobs all the time.

It is a sign of lack of bias and freedom to choose your preferred occupation and that in fact the genders have inherent preferences for different occupations.

However in legalising it it also destigmatises it and would make it more accessible. Considering the percentage of people who use these services in countries where it has been legalised or at least decriminalised (30-40%) to the percentage in countries where it is still illegal (I can't remember if the 11% was for the UK or the US) and the blatant corruption of how 'pimps' could and would find ways to continue being abusive and dangerous I don't feel the argument of safety is strong enough to legalise it in terms of the harm it could do in other ways. Safety is of course a serious issue that I feel should be tackled in other ways than legalisation.

    - I hate the cherry picking. Most men don't get away with murder with the excuse of depression and some women also get away with leniency that isn't deserved.
    - Everyone should be responsible for their own safety, as no one else has more agency. You can't expect there to be no evil people, and you can't expect someone else to be responsible for your safety just because they have the same gender.
    - Women who stay in abusive relationships when they can leave are the victims and aren't responsible for the offending, but they did choose not to take the opportunity to get themselves out of that horrible situation.

    Great interview. I always thought of myself as a Feminist growing up. Probably in the same anemic way most "nice" people would claim to be Feminists. I saw women as the different but equal sex and saw no reason for shoddy treatment for either. Some people calling themselves "Amazon feminists" like Camille Paglia and Christina Hoff Summers made a lot of sense to me. But those weren't the Feminists I met in person. Those were all of the "Victim Feminism" variety like Lacy Hunt or Anita Sarkesian. Then came the Gender Critical 4th Wave, making up new words and rules so fast no reasonable person could keep up. We've gone so far towards the direction of "harm avoidance" that we no-longer seem to care whether we are able to be productive and to defend our culture. Our days are numbered and this infighting is part of that.

She thinks that young middle class women should stop complaining about sexual harassment from men claiming that young working class women know how to deal with it. No, they don't. They accept it and when asked to jump by a man they ask "How high?" It doesn't occur to them to complain.

    I'm in my 50s and grew up proud to be a feminist. But when I was a teenager, feminism meant fighting for equal rights. Not that men and women were the same, just that they should be treated as of equal value. As a girl, I wasn't allowed to do many of the things my brother was, as a woman (with an engineering degree), I was repeatedly asked if I was going to have children in job interviews, and definitely treated as inferior. In business, when I was usually the only female in the room, I was always asked to take the minutes in meetings or make the tea for all the men and when I stood up for myself I was shunned as being 'difficult'. All I wanted was for men and women to be treated as equals. Today's 'feminists', who stand up for men to take over women's spaces, sport and rights, clearly don't have a clue. This conversation was fascinating. Thank you.

    I loved this video. I've seen myself as a feminist for a long time, but have never immersed myself into feminist theory. I've never understood why people think that feminism = hating men. My experiences trying to talk about male violence where the response was along the lines of 'man hating feminist' were really people (many women included) not wanting to hear the truth. I can be honest about male violence AND believe that boys are not born to be violent and controlling. I believe that men are also the victims of male violence, a position which is backed up by research and statistics globally. I even believe that there are many men perpetrating violence who are really hurting, and if they had access to the right supports to alleviate that pain they would no longer be hurting the people around them. That to me is feminism. While feminism centres women's issues, addressing those issues benefits all not just women.
