Ms. Solnit for president 2024. Who better? WHO BETTER?
This watershed moment was a long time coming.
This isn't just a male thing. I've been sexually assaulted verbally and physically by women and men. Sexual assault, regardless of the sex is wrong.
Autumn clarke the point is that men are the main perpetuaters. In matrilineal clans you never seen this type of behavior. Abrahamic religions really accelerated males and their endless appetite for blood and suffering.
I am sorry you were assaulted by someone of your sex. But in terms of men in general they are the main problem
Sunset Bacony Shimmer Ok. I just wish they would not make it seem one sided at times.
Art Art I'm sorry you had to go through that. I wish there wasn't double standards when it came to abuse and the sex of the abuser.
Autumn clarke the problem is masulinity and feminity they arent natural
I am sorry you were assaulted by someone of your colour. But in terms of blacks in general they are the main problem
Until you go back to the family courts and GIVE MOTHERS THE POWER to take their children AWAY FROM a violent MAN, you are doing nothing but perpetuating the problem through generation after generation! Start by helping women Escape Violent Men and helping their children grow up to be good men, and it won't happen when they live under the fist of a violent father! Swear to God!
How about we help women into a trash can instead?
This is why so many of us see all this shit as an attack on men.
Its not a masculity issue. Most masculine men are decent people doing their own thing.
Doing your own thing does not stop male violence.
@@ana62301 Nor female cruelty.
This is not an attack on decent masculine men, only those who view vulgar, degrading, chauvenistic attitudes towards women, aka lack of common decency and good manners as tough , strong, manly traits when they simply are not.
being one of the lads in a group of men doesn't mean verbal harassment, leering, groping, generally being an arsehole to girls and women just because they didn't swoon or smile at you passing by.
Rebecca!! My parents loved her parents. So proud of Rebecca!!
The trolls came out from under the bridge tonight
Thank you Rebecca and Amy for holding lights out for us young souls 🌌
The comments on this video are why we all need feminism.
I believe that no one should ever feel harassed or belittled by someone of the opposite sex, but that said it happens to be a fact that you are not going to change masculinity just because you are asking it to change. These are cultural shifts which take a long time, but that is assuming we even know what a man should act like.
carpo719 actually I think you need to change human instinct not culture which means you have to either operate, medicate or wait for evolution.
AW Crowe We are more than our instincts. Yes, instincts are there however if that was the case we'd be grabbing food at the supermarket and running with it. A guy jerking off to a woman that he has cornered and jizzing in a plant pot is more complicated than instinct.
Either you didn't watch the video or you literally don't understand the point of it.
carpo719 We do know how men should act. How about acting like a normal thinking human being instead of behaving like a rabid animal that has no control of itself? Is that just a bridge too far for the male ego? Perhaps it is.
Notwithstanding the clearly odious character of the actions committed by people like Harvey Weinstein, equating these with "masculinity" and suggesting that "men" in general "admire" creeps and sexual abusers is simply slanderous and really not helpful. This type of misandrist rhetoric is what makes so many people unwilling to call themselves "feminists" even though they embrace the ideal of gender equality.
SYSTEMIC!!! Says it all!!!
Designed to accommodate their personal perversions and cover up for them, while they probably giggled about it in private. That's what angers me.
I feel the same way about the culture of racism. Imagine being a woman of color.
Women are more than half the population. Minorities are exactly that. Big difference that's why feminism is so powerful. Imagine if BLM could cancel board directors.
I think this is anunawareness to get women's attention to be even more proactive to do things much more of a pre step in order to prevent this
And the Kingdom has fallen into chaos.
Being an adult survivout of incestial rape by my fsther I have a deep understanding of this issue
Crickets like usual
How about we teach morals and etiquette intead of social justice? Give these kids some marketable skills instead of cranking out ignorant, mindless sheep that believe in a corrupt 'Democracy'.
#COMMONSENSENOW!
Social justice allows us to teach those morals and etiquette where these isn’t. Common sense now!!!
Rebecca Solnit🌹🙏💌+🧿
Thanks, Democracy Now!:) Let's all stop rewarding the Creeps? Still, a lot of times Management work Sucks? All they have is the Money and Perks? Can Executives replace standing creepiness Perks with healthy Perks, would that be more effective? A Friend, Shamfrey Cluzen:, inspires these Questions?.:D
Thanks for this report. We need to talk about this.
if you go to the "report" button, and go to mobbing, you ll se a "russian patriot" option. which i find kinda funny for a network that has been pushing trump propaganda to the top for about 3-5 years now.
this person rebecca solnit reminds me of trump with her delivery and and short simple senetences no offense
Simple
the entire thing is appalling. "But how do we change the system?" Is it a system? I think not. It is, instead, a culture. Systems are relatively easy to change. Culture is ingrained.
🌹🌹🌹🙏💌🧿
So when is asking a woman her age going to be called sexual harassment. This whole thing is rubbish.
So basically she wants to evolve beyond evolution...
Men have free will and can change.
1 in 3 women get raped or beaten in their lifetime, myself included. I'm well versed in the grime and psychopathy on this planet, primarily of the male race. Dead men don't rape. Lets hope there's no blowback for this unholy destruction.... but the anger is there, and I can't promise I wouldn't get swept up in the tide. But we've been through the witchhunts and we know better than to become matriarchs. We will rise up, militantly but not militaristically, and take back our power through collective empathy and strength. Watch out men, we're taking our power back so get with the program or karma will get you... and karma will always win out. Nature will always win out. Get ready to accept the consequences of your violence.
You won't do anything. You just watched too many superhero movies.
ITS OKAY TO BE A MAN
Quit implying ALL men are preditors...their not & Im not
What are you going to stop male violence?
hahahaha ...
When a victin accepts cash they are part of the problem
So she's making the statement of how can we stop this systemic problem well let's start off by saying when she said this thing that makes men feel powerful when they do that well on some respect may not be connected to work but the attention that women give to men when they are in a position of power which still doesn't necessarily have anything to do with each other but can't get confusing to the message of what a man thinks he can do as opposed to what he can't do
Everything she's talking about really doesn't resolve the issue as it relates to the ideas of what she thinks can be done because you were acting after the fact you need to be proactive before anything else continues
It's a leap of logic to believe that male assault and male hate of women are the same thing. It might be more accurate to believe that men fear women.
Especially when you get away with *lying*
guys go MGTOW!
sooner we get integrated with machines the better...
I was waiting for all the whiners on the comment section. Not disappointed. Keep it up.
How about we teach women how to stand up for themselves while the assault is happening. Put the men in their place instead of waiting 10 to 20 years later. Notice the similarities of these men. They are men of power, they are not all men doing this. Most men do not do this. The system is changed when women hit the men where they are vulnerable and not take it any more during that moment when it is occurring. Fight back and then report it right away. Warn every woman you work with. Make those men's lives miserable. Fight back. Coming out 20 years later is not fighting back. Otherwise women are just silencing themselves for that 10 to 20 years before they finally come out. Stop raising our girls to be princesses. End princess culture. The Princess is the weakest archetype for girls. The princess has no power, no voice and is lead to believe she's entitled to everything. Assault and rape will never end unless women end it themselves. Just like war will end until men and women lay down their weapons and stop fighting. Otherwise this story will go on.
Even male abuses are being reported 20 years later. Good point tho.
so, the only reason that every man has not participated in this behaviour is due to lack of opportunity and authority?
Rebecca and Amy, cat ladies.
This woman is crazy.
