  • She mainly spoke for a no-western woman models, which is conceivable. Unfortunately, women around the world are so different in lifestyle, income, etc....To generalize by sex (or gender) is simply arrogant and preposterous. Feminists led women to more slavery. Respect is true emancipation. Least but no last, is the system as a whole to be revised for. Sadly, the most beautiful women are attracted from powerful men; so to be a powerful man means competition is due to.

  • As usual, a false argument. MAN created all the technology. Even in Medieval time across Europe (and all the world in general), peasants and servants were paid off in agricultural commodities (milk, cereals and some vegetable). There is a huge difference between the "Queen [woman]" and a peasantry woman; same sex but different life. Actually, today's western women do not know how to cook either (e.g.: two fried eggs); thanks to "ready [microwavable] foods" and take away food chains [continue..]

  • @MysteryManoLove I'm not sure that's what she's saying at all. Did you have the opportunity to listen to the questions after? It's not that women are the only ones who can do this - it's that the skills and qualities needed to do this: seed saving, good food production, inclusion, non-violence, ecological sustainability, etc, have all been criticized by society as "woman" skills, not "man" skills, and while men are just as capable as women to think in these ways, they have been trained not to.

  • The only problem I have with this is they only praise women, as though if women were the only ones that could accomplish this magnificent feat. But the lecture itself is great, I heard this story before and it is an important issue that needs to be addressed to the world. Hopefully they won't do the same thing to starving African nations, they need food more than anything and they deserve to live.
