- Naomi Wolf’s international bestseller, The Beauty Myth, set off the third wave of the feminist movement. Two decades after its publication, the beauty industry shows no sign of abating and a fourth wave of feminism is emerging: educated women are increasingly making choices that seem as diverse as they are contradictory. The author revisits the issues at hand and searches for a new narrative against the explosion of today’s social media.

“Shut and listen.” Yes, please!
love naomi. she is a true feminist advocating for choice in the way we live our lives.it saddens me when i see conservative religous women pitted against more liberal secularized women.
A bitter matriarch!🤣
Thank you, a great talk for me “ in my fourties”

Oops. American feminist catches Singapore feminists in their own contradictions. On the other hand, it depends on just how oppressed women have been in Singapore. If they are still culturally and politically excluded from major political and corporate positions, they may be at a stage in evolution where they really need to defend themselves against men taking over the issues (especially making it all about THEM, as they are wont to do). A very interesting debate and questions, and Naomi Wolf, in my opinion, embodies the best thinking, not just about feminism but about avoiding the horrible self-righteous exclusionism in identity politics. That way (the oppositional, "rugged corporate individual" version of identity politics) lies more divisiveness, not real dialogue, growth, and compromises..
as they are wont to do?

I enjoyed this discussion but let me say something concerning the end that this organization should not have to include men as part of their membership. If the men want to volunteer in engagements that support their cause it’s fine but they should be allowed to have their own space
still treating"allies"like shit?🤣
@1:17:27: And there it is. The State enables Freedom. If you are a fan of the enlightenment. John Locke and Charles-Louis Secondat Montesquieu would most likely disagree.
I'd just like to see Naomi wrestle Queen Kong in a wrestling match.
let me understand something, so women trying to look like Barbies are brainwashed, yet women who cover themselves completely in the name of religion are simply choosing this for themselves because they say so? something doesn't quite add up in this logic to me...
shes saying media is teaching women that choosing career and fame over family and religion is feminist
and any women who tries to embrace religion or chooses family over career is sort of oppressed and not feminst
if you think im speaking nonsense then you can try reading a book called "beauty sick" which shows how society is making women suffer by putting them under impossible standards
interms of religious women covering themselves i want to say that women 100yrs ago in every part of the world used to cover themselves , the reason they dont anymore is because of beauty sickness and the demonisation of modesty something which women adhered to and now they consider it as either sexist or oppression due to media potraying feminism as something far fetched
MEEEOOOOWW!
understand now?............🤨
socialism,the politics of envy and self pity!🤣
As a woman it is essential to have a hobby. And also practise some sort of spiritual discipline. We must keep ourselves busy. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
So if the argument is that beauty is not objective, but subjective, why are people now being told they SHOULD find obese women attractive? I thought it was subjective, and each person could decide for themselves what they are Aroused by? Pick a lane 😂
I love that men are becoming feminist to the Korean lady was sweet but I think she is close minded to not include men in the conversation
A myth isn't something that is necessarily untrue. It just means that it's usually so far back in the mists of history that it's difficult to authenticate. Therefore, we only grasp that Cleopatra, the Queen of Sheba, or Bathsheeba were beautiful because they lived so long ago and consequently qualify as mythologically beautiful.
Sorry but I have seen barbie in real life lol...beautiful natural women exist yall. I understand what she saying tho lol great educated video
Equality of outcome propaganda!🤣🤨
Men did'nt teach women to be obsessed with cleaning. In fact, women bother their husbands to clean too much
That a relly intelligence woman
A la verga.
Rights are always demanded by the one who has achieved it. What she is arguing is belittling of the rights she has achieved. She needs a hypothetical world where only lesbians exist. She talks about what an ideal girl since childhood should aspire. This is same for men. He has to get muscular, clever, earn livelihood for family. The idealisation of men has also changed timely. Things are simple women are better at care giving and men at making livelihood in general..
How is hot is HOT (either in degrees Celsius or Farenheit)? Does one need a thermometer? Loath as one may be to imprison Naomi in the guilded cage of her femininty, (or the gaze of a Lacanian sexual male other), she appears to make prudent and pragmatic use of her mytholoigical beauty. One wolf many straight men (and crooked women) wouldn't keep from their door.
Over-correction does not diminish the point that fit people are more attractive. Men and women are attracted to fit partners. In a starving country, they value fatter women and in country flooded with fat feminists, they like underweight women.
