    I enjoyed listening. I like seeing more mature women speak on Feminism and gender. Our generation may think its the best thing since sliced bread but honestly listen to other generations too. Their insight, what they're done right and wrong, can help us form better opinions. It is perfectly acceptable to close your mouth and listen to someone more experienced before shouting out in foolishness. I liked the part on Gender differences a lot. I have this belief that men and women are of equal value but not of equal ability or trait. It's not to say either is better than the other...we're just different. And that's totally okay. We don't have to be equal in every facet, just in our rights. That includes Trans people. I feel someone feeling a need to change their birth gender is perfectly acceptable. Hormones are tricky things and if you feel you're a woman and science can help you find happiness then I am all for that. Everyone has a right to feel complete and love their bodies.

    • @advancedraymondology2914
      @advancedraymondology2914 Před 5 lety +11

      MissFushi I have no issue with anyone doing what they can to find their bliss. However, there are some disturbing trends in the trans movement. For one, the celebration of younger and younger children taking hormone blockers and living as their "true" sex. I don't think it's unreasonable that a person wait until they are at least old enough to vote before permanently altering their genitalia. Isn't it interesting that these kids always come from extremely "progressive" households? I really believe a lot of these parents WANT their kids to be trans. There's a certain "enlightenment" cachet that comes with it. What a generation ago would have just been a gay kid, first time he does something girlish, it's off to a trans-sympathetic psychologist to begin reassignment therapy. Who the fuck knows how this kid would've felt as a teen if his parents had just let him figure shit out on his own? My kid brother spent a summer believing he was Tom Sawyer, haha. He wore a straw hat and demanded to be called Tom. He got over it.
      Isn't it also interesting how gender is "fluid" and a "social construct" except when the kid was supposedly born in the wrong body? Trans males almost always embrace the most typically bro-type style, as trans females embrace the most classically girlish style. Interesting, no? In those cases, the classic styles are to be respected. I saw one doc on here about a trans boy. The mother spoke of the kid's "natural aggressiveness" and fondness for "boy toys, like trucks." If she were describing an ACTUAL BOY that way, people would say she was reinforcing harmful stereotypes.

I think violence is also a factor because with violence rates here get higher every year & because for instance, rape's also one of those, with the help of the media, they blame it on patriarchy & more people buy their ideology. we have to push back & young people are slowly starting to notice the their extremist, crazy tendencies.

    Christina Hoff Sommers and Camille Paglia are without doubt two of the most intelligent, courageous women of conviction I have ever listened to. There is no doubt they are deep thinkers who value intellectual honesty and discourse. As feminists they bring that rare dialog to fruition in this program. Yet there is one quality in the entire ark of feminist history, from the late 1800s to today that has never been adequately addressed, or ever confronted. That is disdain and hatred of men that has dominated, overtly or otherwise, feminist discourse throughout feminism's history. Failure to address this issue in any meaningful way insures that, while Sommers and Paglia bemoan lack of progress in the issues they discussed twenty years ago, they will be having the same discussion twenty years hence.
    From the time of Pankhurst it will be seen through the scrutiny of genuine scholarly inquiry that feminists have concocted myths and lies centered on distortions of masculine human nature. From "rule of thumb" to "goddess ideology" to "mansplaning", all of it an elaborate construct made to destroy their imagined nemesis; patriarchy as an evil collusion of men to oppress women. And consequently to destroy the identity of men. All of it shallow and myopic at best. Deconstruction with contrived, planned to fail construction.
    Since such an inquiry into the nature of men has been ongoing for many years perhaps such an inquiry should also be made into the nature of women. Yet not in the paradigm of incessant self-adulation or dance around the maypole innocence victimhood we see today. And not in terms of the contrivances of hatred toward the humanity of men seen today as always; but
    rooted in the biological nature of humanity.
    We might start that inquiry in this way. Feminism from its inception may be seen as a rebellion against the biological imperative placed on women by nature to bear children. Camille Paglia has touched on this imperative(burden) many times. It doesn't take a great leap of empathetic consciousness to understand how this burden is in play; in everyday living we all experience in one way or another. Could this rebellion be played out through the rejection of gendered social contract seen as repressive, to women only? Has the
    blame-anger for this burden been unwittingly or unconsciously or vindictively
    placed on men?
    And what about the fainting couch women Sommers bemoans as regressive Victorian behavior? In no way can this behavior be seen as progressive. It is the antithesis of women who desire the responsibility and prestige of power. This helplessness is reflected in the societal zeitgeist
    today, in a myriad of ways; all destructive to a healthy, vibrant society. Helpless victimized women at the hands of evil men. It is in this light that feminism must be seen in the present day; not as liberation of women but as a war against men. But why? Shouldn't the biological imperative play some role?

John Oliver showed how you can make fun of the lousy results of socialism in Venezuela without mentioning the socialism part of that socialistic disaster. I bet he could do a segment on North Korea without mentioning Kim Sing Song or Kim Ding Dong or Kim Ill Will or the Government's role in the one TV channel 90 minute loop you had better be enjoying as a family if Kim Dung Goon's Goons show up for a media check.

    Good talk though I'll disagree with the closing remarks that the library is the only place to find information. There is plenty of good and solid information available on the internet, but what a student needs to learn in that situation is HOW to search for it and how to disseminate between good information and random crap. Once you have that the 'net is a powerful tool indeed.

    • @jonathankieranwriter
      @jonathankieranwriter Před 8 lety +6

      You're absolutely correct, but it takes a probative mind to navigate the online labyrinth and get to the obscure stuff hidden behind the abstruse stuff, etc. Frankly, a sleuth-like temperament is preferable, but the proper way to search *can* be taught as a skill. Hopefully, more people will begin to realize that and start taking advantage of the genuinely tremendous depth of educational opportunity that can be facilitated online. WorldCat alone can change lives.

      @Patrick-857 Před 7 lety +3

      Siobhan Ní Loinsigh Anything that was written before feminism took hold is a good start. Particularly philosophy, and some of the great thought experiments by people like Orwell and Huxley,
      I think Jordan B Peterson lists a bunch of books that he absolutely demands that people read just to get a handle on this stuff.
      I am truly happy for you that you pulled the feminist curtains and let the sunlight in.
      My advice as someone who recently woke up to this new threat to our freedom is this: seek out ideas that challenge you, read as widely as possible, really challenge yourself to think critically, and base what you believe on logic and rationality, rather than try to rationalize what you believe.
      Any belief you have must be based in rationality or it needs to go. You will probably find yourself questioning everything you ever believed. I am at the moment, and I have ended up becoming much less left wing and far more interested in classical liberal ideas of individual liberty and freedom, while rejecting all forms of dogma and orthodoxy. I realized very quickly about 4 months ago that I had been essentially brainwashed, and was not able to think critically, not listening to a person's ideas and assessing them on their merits, but instead accepting or dismissing them based on preconceived ideological criteria.
      I was not thinking for myself for myself, and my beliefs were often based on emotion and ideology, not on facts, reason and rationality. I am truly horrified at what I was then, because I was able to articulate and rationalize some ideas that were not based in rationality at all. I was able to spout facts and figures to support my positions too.
      Be critical. Don't be afraid to question the most closely held beliefs. As Timothy Leary said: "Think for yourself, question authority".
      Sorry for the long post, but I am inspired to see someone going through what I am.

      @Patrick-857 Před 7 lety +2

      Knowledge is the light that will stave off darkness in my view. Feminism is doing what Christianity did in the Dark Ages. Knowledge is their cryptonite, and they are desperate to bury it, change it or censor it. Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird are getting censored now. Little kids cannot read Enid Blyton anymore. It's madness. It's modern day book burning. Books are words frozen in time, you cannot apply modern ideas of morality on something from another age. In my country New Zealand they want to change the name of Massey University, one of our oldest universities, because somebody has decided that the man it is named after might have been a bit of a racist. In his time it was normal to be racist, they didn't even know it was wrong. But no let's erase him from history, because history is just an elaborate fairy tale and we need it to portray only positive things so nobody has their feels hurt. Ugh.

    This is like coming home. These two minds from my youthful era have spoken the truth as I know it. Sanity is a beautiful feeling when you've spent 10 and 20 years traversing the jungles of thick rhetoric and protecting yourself from the burning air and sands of scorched thought while being hunted by heedless tribal warriors. Real women stand up and speak the truth they have acquired through experience over time and reflection. Education was a vehicle that unites all disciplines through the concept of critical thinking. Skills practiced with a boldness to define personal and political terms of identity based on the exploration of many concepts of morality, fairness and human bio-evolution.

There was silence and I realized I had made some sort of grave and offensive mistake. Unlike the philosophy courses I took, where although I was often the lone defender of certain ideas I never felt unwelcome, it was clear that by raising my hand and speaking my mind I had broken a rule. I think I got a C+ in that class.

    30:30 - 31:20 - I can't stress enough how important and true this is. I even like to use the same term to describe the result - "humility". Sure - a Philosophy major will not necessarily land you a job (on its own), but it will wipe the self-satisfied smirk off your face, show you the depths of horror of human existence and lay bare the ignorance and audacity of large swaths of humanity, driving you into crippling depression. Uhhh... I mean - it will teach you critical thinking and give you a broader perspective on life ^^'.
    If you get consistently bombarded by reasonable, coherent, convincing and clearly mutually contradictory views, you will probably develop a healthy attitude towards Truth.
