Dude knew exactly how much the xxx movie costs. 😂😂😂
If they had heard anti-pornography feminists at that time, the american culture today would be a lot healthier, but they did not.
I think her views were brilliantly stated and its worth considering for the development and advancement of our society
16:33: "You said you're not a liberal."
"That's true."
"What are you?"
"A feminist."
@@uterushaver8309 Exactly!👏
We need more "uncompromising feminists" now more than ever.
What an amazing uncompromising radical feminist she was and still is. I am deeply honoured to have been exposed to the work and activism of Catherine McKinnon and Andrea Dworkin. They inspired me more than any other human being. And we will win. We will win.
She is a badass 😎 Love her!
ofc this dude interrupts her constantly. ugh
I love Catherine MacKinnon, but I don't appreciate aei censoring part of her speech
What did they censor? I’d like to see that part.
MacKinnon is my heroine. Now, let's play a game... Rewatch this, and try to count how many times he interrupts her.
Exactly!
On point.
More honest than most.
He's so annoying
I thought he was quite polite considering that her ideas were probably very daunting to hear. I think he was just trying to make sense of the issue.
Why are parts of her speech abruptly edited out?
This debates always refere to inequallity as a power/money/authority/force imbalance.
Please read Antigone from Jean Anouilh in order to question what beeing powerful is.
I would love to see a moderated debate between Catherine MacKinnon and Christina Hoff Sommers.
It would be great if people co-produced ethical erotica together as an alternative to the unethical porn out there. That way people are doing what they want without being coerced or exploited.
ethical porn doesn't exist
Ho Ho Ho, Dis gon be good
Ugh. Here we go. He cuts off every guest because he is guiding the conversation against the clock. There are ad slots and a certain number of questions. She often notices his que and lets him ask his next question. This is not uncommon with talk show hosts. Then again, she could've had a gun to her head too we just don't know.
If she genuinely believes her own rhetoric , then I am sorry she is so terrified in western society. Her points are loose and she doesn't back up her sources. Christina Hoff Sommers comes with the data and the source. Probably because Mrs Sommers knew she was going on tv and would likely reference that study. If Mrs MacKinnon wants to throw gRape around and thinks that society doesn't take it serious, she should probably read the laws against it and see how, once incarcerated, grapists tend to get what's coming to them in prison. Of course this happens after the trail, a trail in which everyone is entitled to. However with the tremendous amount of incest going on (no data) it's hard to imagine how we function in society at all.
All these victims have theoretical guns to thier head and since we can't prove they don't then we can assume they do. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. I can't wait for the criminal justice system to get on board with victimhood feminism so we can all use this tactic.
Camille Paglia and Christina Hoff Sommers completely dismantle this weak virtuless feminism.
25 years, nothing changed. "We _deserve_ power, because reasons. And no, we are not responsible for anything bad. Its all mens fault."
U watch but don’t listen.
@@rickacorns8433 Much argument, many impressed.
"Coerced"
😃 The Universe is smiling upon me.
Only a few days ago, I got into a Facebook argument-which I was winning and she later deleted-with a leftist woman where she tried to expand the definition of rape by arguing 'coercion' too; that a man can STILL rape a woman even when she does NOT say no or he does NOT threaten violence, as if he should SOMEHOW know she is scared and/or uncomfortable.
P.S. By the way, I feel bad for Christine Ford as well as I do Brett Kavanaugh. Ford was a puppet that was used and abused by the Democratic establishment.
She didn't define it because the dictionary already has, and she assumed her audience to be smart enough to already know. She probably didn't count on you watching her interview.
Just because someone uses a word that you are unfamiliar with, does not mean the word now can mean "anything and everything".
@cooper smth
That is unfortunate but a lack of mind-reading powers is no one's fault or even problem.
Also, are you going to use the same excuse when a man DOES ask but the woman is still too nervously scared to say no?
WOMEN must accept responsibility for your actions TOO.
@cooper smth
🙄 Pick up on 'cues' eh?
SAY something like uttering aloud no. DO something like shaking your head no.
But if WOMEN-you, know MATURE females-want to be considered ADULTS, they need to act like it.
The law does not-or should not-care about what you subjectively think or feel but what someone has objectively said or done.
And from the beginning, I said he SHOULD ask for consent. Anything afterward is on HER.
I do not get your last sentence.
So she's saying these poor porno actress's need protection? They aren't capable of deciding what their bodies can or can't do? They aren't intentionally exploiting men's hard wired weakness for money? B.S.!!!
if you listen to actual porn actresses none of them enjoy their jobs and the entire industry is a shit show.
Yeah, she is saying exactly that.
And she is 100% right
Didn't you hear? There could've been a gun to her head? We don't know. There could've been a bomb in the pizza he was allegedly delivering. Her grandmother could've been the director, we don't know. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. Welcome to victimhood feminism
Camille Paglia and Christina Hoof Sommers completely trash this weak form of feminism.
None of us knows but that was rape..... Guilty before innocent...... What BS
Glad to see nothing's changed in feminist arguments. "It has to be my way because rape."
