- On March 10, Ron Suskind, Pulitzer-winning journalist and Lecturer on Law, interviewed Catharine MacKinnon, a noted legal scholar and activist who has led the fight for women’s equality since the 1970s. The two discussed the intersection of law with public narratives of justice and equality, including MacKinnon’s past work and current debates surrounding sex trafficking, prostitution and the what the current political landscape bodes for women’s rights.
This event is part of the HLS Speaker Series: Narratives of Justice
Thank you for uploading this, Harvard Law. MacKinnon has fought so tirelessly for women's equality and I always love listening to her speak.
"If this is what they thought inequality was, and their vision of what equality looked like, here was no questions about why we didn't have it. It was about these ideas of sameness and difference: that if you're the same as somebody, you get to be equal to them but if you're different from them, you don't. Which given the definition of sex as a difference, begins to give you a clue."
Suskind doesn't interview MacKinnon so much as explain her life to her, talk over her, and smirk smugly. She handled it with so much grace. "There are a couple of questions I have about the narrative structure in there."
Mary Hickman explaining a backstory to an audience gives basis for an interview. This did seem casual more conversational. Maybe you just don't like this guys style of interview but it does not take away from what she has to say.
As a guy, I resent Susskind's interruptions. If he would just open the audience for questions. And then moderate a bit.
I agree. He was condescending and patronizing.
Maybe you should queaston her about the satanic panic which she helped to spread? You dumb feminist. God, you people are such idiots.
I agree. I had a bad impression of him from the beginning
This dude needs to shut up and let her talk
yay a new upload with her in it. there's not enough on youtube
@kay.ash Didn't she push for the satanic panic back in the day? All shown to be false. Why should we take this moron seriously?
@@noless Because of the relevance of her assertion. Ad hominem arguments which at delivery are not even reasonably grounded are pointless. I'm all for your right to get upset about what you hear or see, and express it, but you asked a straight question to which this is the answer.
Thank God amazing women like Catharine MacKinnon exist in this world
MacKinnon is a real one.
that guy doesn't get it.
have you read mackinnon?
@Alias Nom de Guerre delusional maybe. i am open to all opinions and views. she is coming from a position that wants the best for women, she always has. i know that the new wave of feminism also claims to know what is best for women while also hating men. going around calling people delusional really helps though doesn't it?
@@emmafergusonhribar new wave feminism and any ither feminism isn't hating men. never was, never will be. anti-feminists claim that to bash feminism and engage in hatespeech towards women's rights.
Lol@@emmafergusonhribar
@emmahribar aww here's your pick-me cookie
How narratives are shaped; why some that are factual don’t take purchase; and others devoid of facts catch fire.
god she's badass
amazing CM
Ol' boy in the green jacket is giving Woody Allen vibes and I'm just 😬
it is really informative for us

Equity over Equality. I ain't sorry for saying that.
1:08:44 this is the story w/ Islam & the Burka
The guy is unbearable
Nothing changes
Except for the worst
It’s too late
And everyone knows.😵
the laws written by men for men
46:44 if yes doesnt mean yes, where tf does that leave anyone? At a certain point there has to be some responsibility on both sides. Always say no then - clearly for ever & get everything else in writing.
You misunderstand. She is referring to prostitution, which is illegal.
the responsibility for abuse lies 100% by the abuser. always. it's concerning you'd want that to be different! you've clearly no clue what you're talking about. consent isn't your topic of expertise. if you don't want to change that and work hard on changing this, you better stay away from other beings with a central nervous system.
ah my child, you are not capable of understanding
When one is well educated, one can fight discrimination, but what about poor women (and men) who didn't have access to education - they are the real victims.
Not only that but this woman spread conspiracy theories. She's like a feminist Alex Jones.
shes so beautiful arrghh
Pobre mujer, dicen que cada quien habla como le fue en la feria. Siento lástima por ella. Sentiría compasión, pero su afán de institucionalizar el hecho de que a ella le fue de la fregada y desear que todas la mujeres se sientan igual, es despreciable.
Dice David, el hombre. Voz de las mujeres.
This guy thinks he's a real comedian
Straight out of central casting. I guess if you're going to be a vicious misandrist, you might as well look the part. She's looking a little boney. I guess it's been a while since she ate her last dalmation.
Oh, the irony!

If you're going to be a vicious misogynist, at least use your full legal name on so we know who to avoid
Catharine A. MacKinnon is possible the worst feminist ever, she is even worst than Dworkin, who at least had the excuse of trauma for her awful ideas.
yes.
I found out about her from one of my classes. I don't think I agree to the full extent that she believes in feminism, but I figured I should still hear her out. Her advocate against workplace abuse is very much so warranted as it was in the 1970s.
I don't really agree with the idea that men or women are equal or should strive to be perfectly equal because of unchangeable biological differences. Women deserve rights and should not be disseminated against for their sex, but at the same time both men and women need to recognize the biological importance of our sex. I think the rejection our biology has been a disaster for the entire western world leading to the rise of transgender theory, rapid decline in birth rates, and mass drop in long term relationship satisfaction for both genders.
Yes, yes, 'awful ideas,' yes, yes. that will convince me, dont tell me which ones or how, no no not that. just awful, yes, yes, of course.
