There is a concept in Christianity, where there is one God in 3 aspects. It means one person shown in aspect of father, son and spirit.

Vera is under valued. She spans the kibbo kift era through the 1990's.

4:40 So feminism is the focus on the marginalization of everyone except white straight men? The speaker alienates the one group who has largely founded and carried these traditions and stories for thousands of years, and says she hopes to overtly make it less about them. She also insinuates that as a group we haven't given appropriate gratitude and reverence to women, which is patently false. I listen to these talks regularly and masculism and the reverence to Celtic male ancestry and the tradition they inspired is largely ignored. It appear to me that this talk is an effort to have wokeism infect the core histories and traditions of our ancestors through the soft spoken word, using lies that appeal to our empathies.

I would encourage you to think of the de-marginalization of women, queer folks, and the disabled not as "making it less about white straight men" but about making sure that people who are not white straight (and able-bodied) men have equity with white straight men. I.e. you are not *lowering* men but *lifting* everyone else. The goal is not to marginalize men but to make sure everyone has a seat at the table and that their perspectives are treated as equally valid. To use a rather tired metaphor, a rising tide lifts all boats. As we explore how to include all perspectives, we also get better at including the diverse perspectives of white, straight men as well. White, straight men are not a monolith nor a hive mind, and I've known men who fit that descriptor who still do not identify with the "white male perspective" very closely at all. When you are open to varied perspectives, you're also more likely to find that even the perspectives of those demographically like yourself may be more diverse than you ever imagined. Being disabled, for instance, can wildly alter someone's perspective on many, many things, and there are many disabled men who struggle with how their disability affects their perception of their own masculinity. Treating things as a prism rather than a binary allows room for those men to have their own perspectives heard and validated.

@@MoonlightCircus I appreciate your thoughtful response. 1st: there is the assumption that white straight men are not marginalized. I hope you'd spend the time trying to understand the needs and challenges that they currently face. The white straight male who stocks your grocery store is invisible in our society. Of all groups, they are most at risk of suicide as an example. 2nd: by separating them from all other groups, labeling all other groups as marginalized, it can be assumed that the speaker is inferring that these other groups are marginalized by white straight men. I have to assume this was intended, because that's the only reason I can see as to why the speaker would include LGBTQ+ and minorities into the definition of feminism. 3rd, Gently reorienting people who suffer from gender dysphoria to reality is much healthier for a society verses advocating for the participation in a social delusion that normalizes the removal of essential organs. I have as much empathy for those with gender dysphoria as anyone. Body dysmorphia is difficult, but I know that best treatments don't always mean bending to the immediate desires of the mentally ill. There are effeminate men, and masculine women, but we should never persuade someone to confuse that with being trapped in the wrong body. Rather, self love, body positivity, and self acceptance should be the priority.
