bell hooks doesn't know it, but she's kept me sane over the years.
edited to add: kept waiting for the mayor's wife to say something INTERESTING. never happened. oh well. hearing bell is always worth it.
califia's revenge I 100% agree!
Thanks NEW SCHOOL> I have a profound appreciation for the students and institution for making this happen. It goes without saying Thanks Bell and Chirlane.
One of the BEST interivews and exchange of ideas I have seen.
more people need to watch this, to open their mind.
+Tammy Colon i would recommend some of her conversations from the last session... this conversation fell a little flat.
i agree with her, black women need to see better representation, not just being sexualized by men.
bell ALWAYS wants the lights up on the audience, she likes to see who she's talking to, learn it!
This was really good, thank you for posting!
bell hooks is my spirit animal.
deconstructive
Sexist. Many men are perfectly open about their experiences. Most people don't have any interest in listening to them. Most men just don't organize over masculine problems, because they're problems of sexual competition that aren't accepted as legitimate issues in our society. Also, discussing our problems makes our problems worse, because it's not sexy to complain. It's sexy to exercise, and tell jokes, and be talented, and be smart, and make money. Complaining isn't on the list of acceptably sexy behaviors for us. People leave men who aren't good at getting what they individually want. Most men don't believe that they have sex-dependent collective goals like some women believe they do. :P
