This is an interesting video, I agree with a lot of her later points, but I have some issues with what she says about men being more productive and more dedicated on the job, willing to spend more hours and such...That's WACK. But otherwise, she raises a lot of important questions about feminism...What does being a feminist today really mean? And why do so many people feel scared or obligated to call themselves a feminist? Women in America probably have it easier than women in any other culture in the world, and we have the legal repercussions for violence against women to prove it. It is a fact that women born in South Africa have a greater chance of getting raped than learning how to read, scary considering it's the country with the highest AIDS infected population. Of course this is a very layered issue and it can be argued that sexism and misogyny within the American system debilitate the justice. That is what makes me a feminist. I heard someone on the trolley in Philly today talking to his fairly unresponsive friend about how women are dangerous and are like female dogs. He even went so far as to say "especially the ones with jobs." He was being completely serious. I wanted to jump up and yell in his face "Yea MOTHERFUCKER I worked a 16 hour day yesterday WITHOUT a break, You better be scared of this BITCH!!!" I suppose he's afraid of women being in a position of authority seeking their gruesome revenge for a lifetime of oppression from fucks like him, just like all the daft evangelistic white people who think Obama is going to enslave them. Being self-sufficient is soo dangerous. It's ignorant people like him that make me a feminist.
See where she got some of her statistics here and here . Some sources seem legit, but I doubt they consider all the self-employed women artists who aren't in the corporate books.
