BBC News - Hardtalk - Kat Banyard: Feminism is still fighting "old battles"

2010-11-03T05:06:47+00:00

That was quite painful to watch. Kat doesn't even attempt to answer the question, "What is wrong about working in a strip club or as a prostitute?" She just assumes from the very start that it is extremely bad, equating it with things like physical violence against women and women not having basic rights. These things aren't even on the same level.

Here is a question that should have been asked, "How are these women being exploited when they make more than a doctor with absolutely no education?" or "How is working at a strip club more demeaning than other jobs like picking up people's garbage all day or cleaning out a clogged sewer... positions filled mostly by men?" or the really simple one, "In a place like Great Britain there are many alternatives to sex work... what is wrong with a woman's personal choice to pursue such a career?"

I really cannot stand listening to people like Kat. She sounds so self assured because of their years of circle jerking with other like minded idiots. She is 100% serious here and is just so wrong.

tl;dw a young feminist author wrote a book about her gender-study-style over-simplified understanding of issues with complex underlying reasons to justify the continuation of women's victim mentality even in 1st world countries. Give her about 20 to 30 years and maybe she'll grow up enough to realize what a colossal airhead she was at the time of this interview.

I've got the full version of this, and the interviewer rips her to bits. Silly little cow.

I'll put it on my blog in the next few days.

Wow. This woman speaks with nothing but blind hatred. There was not a single discernible fact in this whole clip.
