Give this it's 16min she's not a raving femenist, more a humanist. And it was extremely interesting to listen to.

It's a intresting view on how we value the different genders.. And if you're predisposed to female underwear it's probably not going to push you away from your crossdressing self.

edit: she's actually very critical of mainstream feminism.

Our swedish feminists should listen to that, I mean it would be fun to see their reactions.
Many of them would blow a fuse I'm sure.

Shared it with some friends who tend towards that perspective, it's going to be fun to see them explode.

Is this some sort of Betty Friedan type of deal? I can't watch it at work, I'm asking so I know whether or not it's worth checking out when I get home.

It's pro equality but more or less against feminism as a whole.. It's actually a big f'kin fist in the face of feminism.

This.

One of my favorite parts was when she talked about the reaction to the increase in work-related injuries for women. There was an outcry that 'something must be done' as this was unacceptable.

It turned out that women's injuries had NOT increased. What had happened was that so many men had lost their jobs due to the recession that the number of injuries to men had decreased so significantly that the ratio of injuries between men/women had changed.
