I like her talk but I was waiting for her to start talking about her experiences as a mother and it never came. Why does she feel entitled to talk about mothering and motherhood, having never gone through with it herself? Mothering an adult, as she made the comparison, is not the same as mothering a child. IT's a completely unique experience. It's like having a white person talk about being black. It's one thing to reference the experience but to build your entire career on it and write a book? To me it feels incredibly suspect
Her whole point is that mothering is not the work of one person, the mother, but rather a relationship. Everyone has been a child and therefore has an experience of mothering. Simple enough if you are willing to step out of patriarchy.
@@sylviefortin2 how is it patriarchy when a man AND a woman BOTH run the house and take care of the children??? its an equal partnership! i dont know what happened to you...i come from a broken home too and im gay but i love my family! this shit is nonsense and its disgusting! i get the whole "it takes a village" outlook. nothing wrong with helping to raise the children. we have that now...you go to school and are essentially "raised" by your teachers. you have grandparents, aunts and uncles, older cousins etc who can also help out. what a bunch of utter abhorrent nonsense! of course its coming from communism so go figure!
@@bluelunarmonkeytarot8533 Welcome to "no honest answer will be given" attitude that is present today. If you ask someone honest question, prepare to be blocked or ignored, because you don't fit someone else's narrative. In the end, you know what is right for you, and don't let some smartass tell you how to live your life.
Words are words but when cleverly placed cans mislead a generation to their own demise. We live in a narcissistic world where people neglect the consequences of their own actions. Seemingly we understand what’s best for one another but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
@@sylviefortin2 I don't think you are an actual mother if you agree with that. IT's a very unique experience and yes metaphysically or psychologically we can call self-soothing 'mothering' the self but it's not quite the same as years of pouring into another person. If I look up a diagnosis on google or try an at-home remedy on myself am I a doctor suddenly? If I massage my arm am I a masseuse? I don't know why everything needs to be obfuscated and made infinitely complicated when it's really quite straightforward. You've either raised a child or you haven't, and been a woman.
Lewis is unable to express herself in everyday language and terminology; something the best scholars can do. Perhaps it is because she is reading out the talk, rather than speaking from the heart, but there is little warmth here. There is something sad and bitter about her too. I wonder if her theories are solely based on growing up in an unhappy, dysfunctional family. And she's never experienced being a mother, so what can she know of motherhood?
Who decides what is everyday language? I'm always puzzled by individuals who pretend to represent the norm, the majority, or what everyone should assume to be the standard.
@@sophielle two of us watched it together, crying, grinning and more. Shared it with many kith and looking forward to the conversations that will develop from it x
She will never know the love that being a mother gives. I'm a man who knows, but even still, not at the same level of a woman. But you know what? she wont even get to experience what I do. Lol!

I'd love to see this lazy old woman run her mouth about indigenous peoples on the Navajo Nation Delusional and incapable insufferable leftist collectivist femaies are the biggest totalitarians and racist cowards on earth. As we all know, when totalitarians rear their ugly heads, the world only takes so much before they decapitate the evil and cowardice.
Face it, every child deserves the mothering that they get. Some kids are just a whole lot easier to love than others. Doing away with the nuclear family, or supplementing it with the support of non-biological kin, isn't going to change that a bit. I LOVE the nuclear family, and I see no reason to upgrade it in the slightest. For most people, it works just fine.
Personal trauma and being stuck in a victim role perceived as a general rule for humanity...
absolutely brilliant exposition. thanks for generously sharing this urgently important work!

Thank you so much for having this talk online, this was truly fascinating

Hit the nail on the head
i don't even think the fault is with her dad. She hates him because he spoke the truth. She's low in intelligence.

@@sylviefortin2 By everyday language I mean language which is accessible to the lay person, not full of academic jargon.
thoroughly engaging, provocative, touching, and inciteful talk! much love for this and for all that we're building
