4. That was tough to sit through.

In the early days of the Women's Liberation Movement, male supporters of the Social Revolution had to be content to call themselves "The Men's Auxillary to the Womens Liberation Movement". It wasn't until the early '70's that I, a white male, could call myself a "feminist".

And while my early WLM education held fast through the decades, I haven't been able to call myself a "feminist" for quite a while. This video sounded like an educational experience and didn't disappoint. I had to fast forward through some of her more graphic examples but I got her point. Capitalism exploits women more than men.

I think the culprit is repressed sexuality and capitalism not necessarily in that order.
