Women were healers, potters, forgers, farmers, weavers, and cooks for 10's of thousands of years when they, along with men, built humanity! Patriarchal religions made them sexual property, then yes, the Industrial Revolution took away cottage industries from both men and women.

“That’s private. Ask me about it later, not in front of an audience.” THIS is how we need to help young people, by example. Class act.
Such a balanced panel.:)
Yes. I can accept that the Internet made me more of a “Fungible token.” A brain on a table. Sterile by default. I agree with Mary. It’s a pity I lived in a place and time that made me miss the opportunities to be a mother. I could write a book. And probably should.
That observation about the essence of the young adults’ idea of home on the campus having been influenced by more pervasive experiences of external child care is so profound and accurate! I worked at a university for the police department and saw this development over the ten years that I was there and had many thoughts about “in parentis locus”, and the paradigm of “helicopter parents” and their children who needed to be tended to like “hot house flowers.” It certainly affected the level of trust that people were able to have in themselves, in the idea of personal agency. Things changed to much.
Love listening to Mary Harrington & Nina Powers. Great comment by Nina (paraphrasing) - freedom is controlling your desire, not being dominated by your desire.
Oh, what three great intellects.:):)
Yes!!
Bunch of blithering women.

I am just such a fan of Nina power. I can listen to her all day!
Many find her overpowering.
54:15 I'm sorry Nina, you're lovely but you don't know anything about cartoons clearly. Jessica Rabbit is not a rabbit, she's a very sultry sexified cartoon adult woman... who's married to a cartoon rabbit.
Got to be honest, I found Mary to be insufferable. She talked with that academic “look how smart I am” rhetoric.
👍👍 Great talk, thanks! Natural mammalian proclivity. It's nature... init ?😶🌫
XD
1:11:58 someone should teach "Jan" what a question is. Emma asked for QUESTIONS Jan, stealing the microphone to make a statement is quite rude.
Prevention is better than cure, but that old axiom is ignored by societies and channels of debate like this because addressing the real roots of the problem challenge their own vested interests. So they move the problem not to the structure of society and politics but onto specific societal groups. In doing this, they wil probably make the problems worse for 2 reasons: ignorance of the real causes and policies which for their divide our societies. You cannot hide from the truth without paying a high price, either in the short or long term, or both. I believe this society:channel is simply the restating of common right wing views. Just look at the cvs of the people. All highly qualified and employed technocrats. Whether any of them came from ‘ordinary backgrounds’ is immaterial, they speak from the same hymn sheet which led to Brexit and Trump. What’s the answer? Simple, go back to what was deliberately dismantled by the right: move away from technocratic neoliberalism and back to a more democratic pluralist system. The latter got the Uk through 3 world wars and rebuilding after. The correct setup couldn’t achieve anything on a national scale which would require a healthy society with significant goodwill towards people in general and society. No, divide and conquer not only creates a big mostly unmeritocratic divide but it works quite inefficiently overall, eventually degrading quality of life even for the better off, albeit much more marginally than it does for a majority. Political outlooks and philosophy stem largely from a persons cognitive setup not so much their background and history. But the arguments from the right often have some basic logic which gives them wings but on deeper analysis they usually fall apart. That’s why the name ‘common sense society’ is quite appropriate.
Douglas Murray 3:14 is exraoredinarrily brilliant.
Is there an exemption of obeying the law ? I was horrified at the Rochdale fiasco.
Fantastic Piece. So true.
When dealing with law and order in the U.K. and America as opposed to China or say Pakistan, there is a big difference. There are many more nationalities and cultures as compared to other countries, whether or not that is better or worse depends upon the different cultures all follow law and order for the greater good.
I suspect Rishi is taking orders from the World Economic Forum , no reasonable man would totally ignore the wishes of the people.
Very good discussion. Wish this govt would at least try to put out the fire !
Why do you think the British government have allowed the group, Hizb ut-Tahrir, to have free reign on London streets? Why are they not banned like in other countries?
I hear you like milkshakes Andy
Is there moderate Muslims
Well there's a divide that Joe Biden is a threat to the country, some of them want war. It's an election year you know, also distracts from Joe's impeachment.
The democrats Likes chaos And like to hurt anyone that disagrees with them
Fact 👍🏻
Williams is such a tool. Trump living rent free in his head.
Не розумию цю мову, переведить будь ласка.
SHEEEEESH! The world is just - SADLY - FILLED WITH A BUNCH OF NUTTERS! Wokeism is JUST A NEW RELIGION... 😒😒😒 😎🇬🇧
Mr Intelligence man. Tell me why we let Hamas to come inside and spend 7 hours killing and maiming and no response from most powerful military who can see into hamas houses etc. Something not right here...We need truth not cover ups
Long live Palestine ❤
wow, what an emotional drama and propaganda 🥸😎🤑 where are your evidences, any footage of dead bodies, pictures of beheaded people, we have seen only packed bodies and just a few.... on the other side all can see the gaza bleeding. just shut your mouth and think
God bless you Israel 🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙
This propaganda already exposed by Israeli hostages, that's not work anymore, the whole world is watching the genocide of Palestinians.
All violence is abhorrent and should be condemned. The continuous relentless inhuman and cruel treatment of Palestinians shouldn't be glossed over and adding insult to injury by dehumanizing the victims of Palestine. Israel represents todays "NAZI GESTAPO Culture "
😊
I do love that Fox is working with the Democrats full time now. Biden tied with Trump lol like b%llocks he is. Biden down in the 30%
Excellent event. Very telling that no Antifa showed up to "stop the fascism". 😂
Great convo. What’s with all the flash photography? Take pics before or after talk.
Each participant was "spell binding". I am in the war to the extent possible in open word and deed. I pray for the peace of Israel. Tracy from Texas.
I've reposted on the NCF channel.
The party in the wrong is the one who starts an unproved military attack. End of. If that party is a Proclaimed terrorist organisation, then the picture is even clearer !
The problem with leftism is it believes everyone is good (as long as they agree with them) and if you treat them well, they will reciprocate. This was Corbyn’s view of the world. Sadly for these people reality will always hit them like a freight train the to face. Sadly, too many Jews think this way, despite all evidence to the contrary. Radical leftism polarised Israel just as it is in the west, and just as the west in now weak, Israel was weak on oct 7th. May Israel and the west learn from this. Don’t live in a utopian dreamland, live in reality.
This was an immensely powerful and affecting broadcast. It was perfectly chaired by Emma Webb. I salute her for putting together such an interesting panel of speakers. Fanni was particularly powerful. She was able to personalise this appalling event in the most direct and quietly emotional way. I wish that more people in the UK could hear her story and perspective. Particularly heartbreaking was the betrayal of people whom she believed to be her friends in Hamburg. Emma Webb is immensely talented. I hope that this is the first of many such broadcasts.
Nina is a complete moron. Multiculturalism is enclaves, not harmony. Just because she lives in an upper middle class bubble doesn’t mean the rest of the country does.
Nina, is insanely clueless. There aren't hundreds celebrating Hamas, there are thousands in the UK and tens of thousands across Western Europe. Multiculturalism failed decades ago. And this is just one of a sundry of examples of it. Emma Webb, is 100% right on this. I agree with her.
Debanking because of political beliefs is what dictatorial regimes do.
This is the state of the UK under a ‘conservative’ gov. The usual tough talk and no action from braverman. Imagine what things will be like when Labour get back in, possibly propped up by SNP/LidDems/Greens
