    This reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend over the outrage caused by Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig not getting nominated for the Oscars. I think many women online took this opportunity to say that somehow it was anti feminist that Margot didnt get nominated even though its was a female category and every one else who got picked over her are women too. Hell it was a huge step - first nomination for a native american woman. In the conversation we had we named this phenomena 'white feminism' but I think I like 'bourgeois feminism' more. I will use that from now.

      If you think that disarming the world is the answer you are sorely mistaken. Guns have been around for a thousand years now and they are not going away. You can't uninvent missiles, fighter jets, tanks and all the rest. Remember that Simpsons episode where Lisa wishes for world peace and the world gets rid of all their weapons, only to be invaded by Kodos and Kang with a stick. The same principle applies. If you get rid of all weapons, any country can now build back the deathmachine as you call it and rule. Once something is invented, specifically something as significant as weapons, it is virtually impossible to get rid of. I would be surprised if you could come up with only one such example.

    7:55 For those who don't know, there was an important indigenous feminist and activist from Honduras named Berta Cáceres. Berta Cáceres was an internationally renowned figure fighting against destructive mining projects then supported by the coup government which Hillary Clinton backed. Cáceres was assassinated exactly eight years ago today (March 3rd), by a death squad sent to silence her. The identities of some members of the death squad have since been revealed, and they had received training by the United States' School of the Americas (with a notorious legacy connected to many atrocities in the global south). Before her death, Cáceres had spoken publicly about US, and in particular Hillary Clinton's, involvement in the undemocratic coup and subsequent military regime in Honduras. The video footage of this interview can still be found on YT for those interested. Berta Cáceres: presente.

She was basically using feminism as a shield for her blatant racism. Also, in this interview you could clearly see what many name "white feminism" and the hiearchy of opression: A white woman might be opressed by a white man, yet she can be the opressor of a black man. That was so incredibly obvious as well as her bigotry.

      I think she was totally unprofessional and out of line, but I really don’t see why people label it as racist. Barghouti refuses to condemn Hamas and has previously called terrorists who murdered and mutilated women, “brave fighters”. The same Hamas, which is the proxy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, one of the biggest silencers and oppressors of women currently in the world. Anyone who is aware of his previous statements and watched more than that little clip, knows that it was an attack on his character and political stances, not on his race. People can’t be called out for their oppressive beliefs, simply because they’re people of color? That sounds racist to me.

    I used to be a staunch pacifist- not just for myself but ideologically. violence is never the answer, I told myself. So many of the points that you made regarding the necessity of violence in the face of oppression were reflective of exactly what pulled me out of that mindset. At this point, it seems passivity is a marker of a deeper, more insidious type of violence. It only serves to keep us in these cycles of oppression and further shift the overton window on what is acceptable.

      My relationship with pacifism has shifted over the years. When I was younger, I would have said the same: violence is never the answer. But you're right that passivity does not equal peace, that it allows the violence to go unquestioned. The BLM slogan "No justice, no peace" - there is no true peace with true justice - really helped change my view.
      I would argue that killing a nazi, for example, is an act of radical pacifism. It is an act of violence, sure, but an act of violence in the pursuit of justice and peace, an act of violence to prevent further violence

    While I loved the Barbie movie, the way the fans reacted towards other female nominees was unacceptable. Most of them haven't even watched KOTFM, PL, PT or Anatomy of a Fall. Stories about a woman regaining her humanity, reconciliation with a past friend, and a *literal genocide*.They completely ignored Triet's nomination, as the first non-american woman, and they also didn't campaign at all for Celine Song. It's clear their feminism is very exclusive. Margot wouldn't have been my choice even if there was a 6th nomination, it'd be either Greta or Portman.

      I think the answer is less malicious and simple and you said it at the beginning of the post: everyone saw Barbie.
      Of course they want a film that they actually saw and liked to be nominated. If they saw all the other films, they might think differently.
      But those films weren't marketed towards general audiences in the same way. The other nominated films are more serious, more adult, and didn't have the expensive ad campaign. Most of us don't follow movies that closely, we're likely to miss the lower budget films with limited distribution.

There's a definite resistance in the West to noting the class issues underlying much of the rage because easier to blame it all on "hysterical women" or "angry minorities" than to recognize the system is set up to screw over large segments of the population.

      MLKs quote about the „White moderate“ always comes to mind. People are terrified of any kind of actual systemic change.
      "First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

      No. That’s not nuance. Nuance is approaching a concept or argument with objectivity, without biases, from all perspectives and visions and adding as much context, subtext, details and layers and lectures as possible . For example if you’re gonna talk about Hitler and the Nazis with nuance, you wont demonize them nor make a caricature of them, but explain the reasons why Hitler did what he did, why he was charismatic enough to obtain power, why he was so against the jews, christianity etc. Without talking about him as if he was a demon .

A daddy's girl needs to be protected at all costs, no rogue boy can ever break her heart. A mama's boy is expected to defend the honor of his mother at all costs, and failure to do so is emasculating. Hell, the term "daddy's girl" has even taken a sexual turn in meaning which further exposes that the perception of women/femininity as society developed it to this point is that of ownership at its foundation.

Far more often it is used to negatively portray a male who has been "molly-coddled" ...and thereby had their "natural manly virtues" of independence and physical courage "corrupted" by the over-protectiveness of their mother... to the degree that they have become"feminized" and increasingly useless in the imagined traditional male social capacity. This was a very very common negative trope as portrayed in popular culture across the middle decades of the twentieth century. There was a great fear regarding the softening and feminisation of male youth within consumer society... With Hitchcock's Psycho being a high point in popular hysteria.

I'm not a violent man by nature, but there have been times in my life where something happened to me that I became so angry that I punched a wall or broke something. Does that mean deep down I was looking for power and to dominate? Absolutely not. It's sometimes easier to lean into your raw emotions and react viscerally than to rationalize your thoughts and feelings and then reflect on them, especially when we're young and haven't been taught to do anything else.

And the "resistors" will very readily become the controllers once they reach any sort of power. It's a false distinction.

From Douglas Murray to Geert Wilders, we see xenophobic elements of European politics flaunt progressive values that were hard fought for by the people in their society and saying that they’re “Western Values.” In order for Europe to not fall to very scary racist ideology, they must think past the “civilized” liberalism that they tout so strongly.

      fascism is always going to be the end state of liberalism. Just like liberalism failed in the 1930s and eventually led to the rise of fascism, we're seeing neoliberalism fail now and witnessing the rise of neofascism. It's not that west europe has a particular lean to it. Hell, Poland and Hungary and Turkey are a lot closer to it than western europe at the moment. It's just that instead of recognizing the systemic issues with liberalism and coming to the conclusion that we need to replace it with something better, we double down, find scapegoats and make some small sacrifices (like democracy) to preserve the core of liberal values (in the economic sense). Because fascism doesn't actually have any negative consequences for the ruling class.

I see many types of activists say the same "inherently bad" thing about countless groups but I can't see the logic in believing a people is lesser than you morally but striving to get enough of their collective approval to make change. Wouldn't it be better to just collect among yourselves and try to be as independent as possible?

Otherwise, you're in a state of constantly fighting for gains you don't even believe are sufficient. Ideas of that sort is why some Pro-Black activists believed that black people should never integrate with white people: it wouldn't do anything
      I'm not saying that's the correct belief but if one is to believe coexistence is impossible because it's a net negative on one party, or those in the position of power are innately bad and that's unchangable, then I can't see how you justify trying to "educate" or "grab power" within their system

    I don't think that Reeves argues that inequalities are working in reverse nowadays. Rather, his point is that men are suffering because they lack a vision, an example to follow. While women are emancipating themselves and becoming more financially independent, men are stuck with their fathers and grandfathers as role models, meaning that they are unable to "keep up" with this inevitably changing society. I think that he's actually making a huge point in favour of feminism, that is, that even men would benefit from a more equal, less patriarchal society (which he also says explicitly in the book and interviews).

      While I agree using “problematic” without further development of the premise can obscure arguments and hinder discussion, in this video I believe Alice uses the word twice and in both cases the word does not obscure her critique.
      1. 2:13 “So the variation of the Overton window means that an opinion that was once deemed problematic can become neutral, acceptable over time.” In this case the use is literally discussing ideas that are not acceptable becoming acceptable so further details of what exactly is problematic are completely not relevant. This is not the use case I’ve described above where I would agree with you.
      2. 7:24 “But the way her feminine values are used to sort of downplay violent acts is problematic to me. Here is a list of all the bad things she’s done. So she voted for the Iraq war…” In this case, Alice follows her use of “problematic” immediately with examples, to prove her point that using feminism to describe Clinton as peaceful, good, nonviolent is a shield that obscures her violent acts. Her argument is that we should not accept that this is truly feminism and that to blindly accept all women’s acts as feminism hurts others. Alice says that this is inconsistent with feminist literature. Thus, by following her use of “problematic” with an explanation, I don’t find her use of the word to be harmful or meeting the parameters I outlined above.
      If you have further critiques, please explain them better with evidence.

      Well, if I deem something as 'problematic' it just means that a certain issue raises problems to me (f.e. a contradiction with other statements of the same origin or ethical problems etc.). And if you state these logical or ethical problems in addition to saying "x is problematic" I do not see an issue with using that word. In this case Alice clearly states that the peace-making, caring public image of Hillary Clinton stands in contradiction with her political ideology and actions and therefore raises (logical) problems.

It rejected individualism, capitalism, liberalism/democracy, and marxism. The means of production was organized by national worker syndicals (i.e. trade unions), and the guiding philosophy of the state was Actual Idealism.
      Fascism was an outgrowth of Sorellian Syndicalism, which itself was an outgrowth from Marxist socialism. The idea was that society would be consolidated (i.e., incorporated) into syndicates (in the Italian context, fascio/fasci) which would be regulated by and serve as organs for the state, or "embody" the state (corpus = body). The purpose was the centralization and synchronization of society under the state, as an end unto itself. To quote Mussolini's infamous aphorism: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."
      As created by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile, Fascism comes from a belief that the "Stateless and Classless society" Communism calls for after its dictatorship cannot achieve Socialism, and that only the State can properly organize a Socialist Society. It cared about unity in a strong central government with society being brought together by syndicalist organizations obedient to the State.

I've never thought that way in my entire life!"... but nobody ever said it was a conscious, deliberate decision. Of course it's not.. it's subtle and built in to the way one perceives the world and the people in it. Most people try to do the right thing when they can; the issue is that privilege can change what constitutes "the right thing", and how one goes about actually _doing_ the right thing to such an extent that it becomes the *wrong* thing. People have a really hard time with self-reflection.. especially well-off people. So many of them fall into the trap of "well I'm doing great, so obviously I must be doing the right thing" despite that making literally zero sense.

    Reminder, violent oppression will create violent resistance. Violence may not be the most productive way to resolve issues and will cause significant harm to those even not directly involved in the violence, but violent resistance can't be critiqued while violent oppression is justified. The responsibility and accountability for resolving the violence sits with the oppressor, not the resistance. Rulers propagandize a paradigm where their violence is deemed righteous (both domestically and globally) while the response violence is barbaric. The West routinely does this. Israel's Hasbara (and pro-Israel states/media) and 'law and order' rhetoric and framing are prime examples. That state, a structure controlled by the ruling class, wants a monopoly on violence to maintain status quo. Any other violence is vilified as terrorism, rioting, lawlessness, etc. It places blame for violence on the reaction to injustice and violence, not on the cause of the reaction.

Not every conflict with a person of the other gender is sign of the patriarchy. The other person might be actually grumpy to everyone or you are just perceiving it negatively because you are grumpy.

      While I genuinely don’t disagree on the existence of people who are exactly as you’ve described, I think there’s still too much generality with your definition for “grumpy feminism”, it doesn’t provide any specificity to how someone would discern these women from those with valid grievances. The definition’s vagueness would make it too easy for another individual’s political illiteracy/ignorance to result in them mislabeling another person’s valid grievance as just another “grumpy feminist”.
      Additionally, what you’ve described isn’t a counterpart to male incels. I know “Incel” gets thoughtlessly tossed around as a generic insult but the definition of Incel encompasses a very specific view of the world, not just general woe-is-me grumpiness.
      Incels view themselves as unjustifiably bereaved by women, stemming from a belief that a man should be able to “earn” or be “deserving of” access to women (access to their romantic affection and sexual access to their bodies). An Incel feels entitled to the encroachment of another human being’s (specifically a woman’s) self determination and bodily autonomy.
      So while Incels have a faulty premise behind their claim to victimisation, it’s based on a real obstruction that comes from the very real very existence of a woman’s self sovereignty. Their issue isn’t that they’ve imagined a nonexistent force standing between them and what they want, it’s that they resent, want to invalidate and overrule the very real thing presently obstructing them.
      Where as, what you’ve described as “grumpy feminism” involves someone who is misusing if not knowingly weaponising political terminology to give the false veneer of validity to their claim to be a victim to an otherwise nonexistent obstruction.

Stupidity, mistakes or lack of knowledge could be reasons too (and in turn CAN be results of patriarchy, but there needs to be a difference between direct and indirect or involuntary discrimination). The comparison to incels is just in regard to over-representing or widening the divide between the genders instead of referring to a shared humanity and a shared enemy of class oppression.

    Excellent video, Alice. I was reminded, by your discussion of the different ways in which men and woman are treated in the criminal justice system, of Davis' 'Are Prisons Obsolete?' where she describes how women's crime is pathologized. A couple great quotes:
    "It is true that men who commit the kinds of transgressions that are regarded as punishable by the state are labeled as social deviants. Nevertheless, masculine criminality has always been deemed more 'normal' than feminine criminality."
    "While jails and prisons have been dominant institutions for the control of men, mental institutions have served a similar purpose for women. That is, deviant men have been constructed as criminal, while deviant women have been constructed as insane."
    "Psychiatric drugs continue to be distributed far more extensively to imprisoned women than to their male counterparts."
    "If male criminals were considered to be public individuals who had simply violated the social contract, female criminals were seen as having transgressed fundamental moral principles of womanhood."
    She goes on to talk about how many of the proposed and established systems of punishment for women who had committed crimes mirrored domestic labor and were a kind of 'reset' to the supposed womanly duties these women had fallen away from.

    Fascinating discussion. I learned a lot.
    I think there is a problem with the notion that masculinity equates to conflict.
    While I think there is some truth to the notion that men are more inherently conflict driven, it’s a stretch to say conflict happens as result of this phenomenon.
    Generally speaking, I think conflict arises when diplomacy fails, and that isn’t an issue that can be alleviated by the sex of either party.
    In other words, diplomacy is not an all encompassing solution.
    There will always be cases in which diplomacy won’t (or can’t), meet the needs of a given party, and conflict will be the only option for that party.
    You can’t just throw femininity at that problem, and expect it to resolve for that reason alone.

      Meanwhile, women's social hierarchies include and incite some of the most intense and vicious conflicts.
      It's this onesided perception that needs to be let go of, in order for feminism to become anything other than a movement of hate.

      @@punkybrewstar83 I'm sorry, are you suggesting that a female political scientist's critique of the "Overton window" theory would be more valid than mine? Or are you implying that a female political scientist would not speak up and share her critique, even if she believed it was important to do so? Isn't labeling my comment as "mansplaining" a form of sexist ad hominem?
      Putting aside rhetoric, I believe it is important (and professionally ethical) to warn about the critiques of the "Overton window" theory in the comments, especially when it is not mentioned in the video and there are many enthusiasts who want to learn more about this theory. My main argument, as I have already stated, is that the "Overton window" is an oversimplification of more complex social and political dynamics, and it may lead to incorrect conclusions (as is often the case with oversimplification in science, especially in social science). This is exactly why many conspiracy theorists like to talk about "Overton windows".
      Please forgive me if anything I have said could have been phrased better.

    This came like a breath of fresh air today. Misogyny and sexism condition women to be accepting of the situation they are given, even if it means denying their needs and feelings.
    While it’s natural to reject that impulse, this toxic kind of assimilationist feminism seems to just be playing the same game somehow. Like somehow, no option(neither the resurgent second wave feminism you are describing here nor the man-o-sphere) supports the idea that all human autonomy is real and important.
    Thanks again for voicing these ideas in this context.

    • @HiAdrian

      I don't think true human autonomy is feasible, maybe a trans-human one. Accepting a societal role comes with benefits and protections, and the female sex needs (and is guaranteed) those more. I cannot conceive of an egalitarian anarchy or similar construct.
