Camille: "I want women to stop blaming men." Interviewer: "I'm confused..." Hahaha!

Praglia couldn't be more clear on her points and yet the interviewer is about as confused as someone can be. Paglia "I want women to be free to make their own decisions but to be strong enough to take responsibility for those decisions."....Interviewer "what?"

The interviewer was not confused, she simply did not like that she was saying

Blaming men for your problems is actually the opposite of being strong!!!

"You say you want women to stand up for themselves AND for women to stop blaming men for all their problems!" The reporter says, completely bewildered, as if these are mutually exclusive.

"I want this idea of hate speech to be dropped". BRAVO Camille, you are truly necessary in these times of assault on free speech.

Literally nothing about Camilla Paglia's feminism is "controversial."

Why do feminists want to be treated as victims in need of rescue? What is this dysfunctional, pathological need to blame and bash men? It's absolutely baffling.

Stop being confused and listen

Controversial feminism, really? More like common sense. It's ridiculous that this should have to be on the fringe nowadays. We live in strange times.

Camille: “1+1=2” Interviewer: “I’m confused”

I'm gonna say the interviewer is part of the problem.

That intro tried to unfairly demonize her, especially with the Madonna quote. Anyone who knows about Paglia's history regarding Madonna can see that.

Paglia: Upper middle class career women want to redefine men according to what operates smoothly in their own affluent career system. Reporter: So women are too focused on careers? How did she make that jump? She's saying that these upper class women are trying to MANIPULATE the system to redefine men and manhood in a way that makes them less competitive so that those women can place themselves on top. The women are trying to define BOTH what it is to be a woman AND what it means to be a man. With that kind of control, they can give themselves both protections AND advantages while also working to undermine and disadvantage men. "Too focused on careers" - No, perhaps not focused enough on their CAREERS. Too focused on manipulation and knocking the men down to get higher in the ranks rather than work and merit.

"So now I'm confused"....yeah you are CBC talking head. Paglia is a genius.

If more young transgender people found Camille's work I think we could see a significant decrease in the trans suicide rate. She is so brilliant.

Wow comments and ratings have been left on. Someone slipped up at the CBC.

I’m a fan of Paglia. As the mother of four young men, I loath the male bashing and blaming of men for things that are not their fault. It’s not man’s fault that when we got what we asked for, namely equality, some women want to be cared for. I also have grave concerns where women set themselves as a hyper sexual creature. That’s good but there are very real risks in this behavior and girls need to be educated about it.

This interviewer can’t even comprehend not blaming men for everything.

The interviewer seems to think assigning blame makes you a strong person.

Willfully misunderstanding is the most ridiculous way to argue. Come off it and simply say I disagree.

"I'm saying that many transgendered people who believe their sense of alienation is coming simply from the gender issue may be mistaken. They may be dissidents in many other ways." - That's an absolutely fascinating thought, and very close to the truth I believe. Camille Paglia blows my mind.

Camille is such a badass!

So refreshing to listen to sane women. I so tired of bitter feminists slamming men for everything

"So, women are too fixated on careers?"....How in the hell did the interviewer get that from Paglia's answer??

She is absolutely right! Take personal responsibility for yourself. Stop blaming and grow up people!

Interviewer is out of her Depth. She should stick to something easier, school children perhaps.

I've only recently discovered Camille Paglia and yet just watched enough of her videos to feel like she's speaking my language. Perhaps I had to grow up emotionally in order to grasp what she's putting down, because my 20-something self might have struggled to accept some of her controversial feminism. I'm reminded of one so-called feminist activist in Seattle, who believed that women shouldn't have to learn martial arts and self defense in order for men to stop being sexual predators. It seems that Camille might echo my own sentiment about how women still need to develop their toughest selves in order to adapt to a world which isn't going to become non-hostile to us overnight. I also can't help but now find Madonna to be a pretty damned sad example of what a feminist icon could have been. If she rose to stardom being such a sexually and spiritually empowered woman, she ended up as an ageist parody of feminine youth. Madonna might have held my respect if she hadn't clearly surrendered her natural aging beauty for some delusional fairy tale of 60-year-old women looking forever like they're in their 20s.

Camille Paglia and Jordan Peterson are my heroes.

when the reporter says she is confused by very simple premise i remembered that the media bought into male bashing feminism whole sale.

God love this sensible woman. Actually couldn't believe that she is trans. That's a good example how everything should be: sensible, staunch and self-responsible.

Shes not an anti-feminist she's what an ACTUAL feminist is. I dislike news media's that gives false titles...

5:38 Shouldn't men be afraid of the consequences of not getting consent? Men should be afraid of the consequences of getting consent and then the woman changing her mind the next morning.

Glad to see CBC covering this and allowing comments. Nice job on covering Dr. Peterson fairly in a recent segment as well. Could it be that the CBC is starting to recognize that people do not trust media that tells only one side of the story. A long way to go yet, but having Paglia on is a good sign. Christina Hoff Summers next please.

This woman should be declared a National Treasure!

It blows my mind how women think they shouldnt be responsible for their actions in any way.

STOP BLAMING MEN FOR ALL YOUR PROBLEMS!TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!Not too difficult to understand. Is it?

Love Camille. Remember free speech? Remember independent thought? Remember creativity? Remember reason and argument? Of course not, this is the CBC! But it did exist, elsewhere, for a time. And it's coming back.

This reporter did a good job. She was asking questions so that Camille can explain herself more deeply. I dont get all the hate tbh.

"Camille Paglia's Feminism" is simply called wisdom. ..it's refreshing.

Paglia--the real Wonder Woman

She’s my kind of feminist

3:13 "Take personal responsibility and stop blaming everyone for the shortcomings I signed up for? I'm confused."

This interviewer is insufferable.

Yes, I agree with Paglia. As a left-wing, non-binary feminist, I tire of coercive, vindictive and myopic behaviour from the naive and weak-minded quarters of feminism and the left. We must be liberated; developing responsibility and critical reflection instincts. Many of these youngsters profess to reflect or tolerate or empathise, yet in reality they tolerate and empathise only those within their tribe - something which defeats the purpose of those virtues. I love and relate to many of these people, but their arrogance and ignorance make them just as dangerous as the arrogance and ignorance of any other tribalist/supremacist movement.

Camille Paglia is incredible.

I lived my 20's in the 90's. Camile's version of feminism was at its peak then. Sadly, it was short-lived.

interviewer is doing her best Cathy Newman impression

We're actually allowed to comment on the news our tax dollars pay for? Have I left Canadastan? This is amazing.

Justin Trudeau should debate her, maybe she can knock some sense into him

My daughter was assaulted by a teachers assistant while she was a student at UCF. After she screamed and kicked to get away from him, my daughter went to the legal aid on campus asking for assistance. They refused to help calling it a conflict of interest because he was educational staff . My 5'3" daughter took it to the presidents office, more than once. The TA confessed that he had assaulted her. When the consequences for this man we're minimal, my daughter posted the incident on Facebook. After hearing from multiple other female students who had had the same experience with this man, my daughter invited them to go with her to the orange county police department. They said they did not want to go through what my daughter had been through. She pursued it alone, with great courage, straight through to the end. The emotional and physical consequences of that fight affected my daughter for three years. She is now brave and strong and whole.

Wow! We need her more clearly at the center of the debates in society right now. She needs the spotlight.

feminists and self-accountability? bahahaha now that's a pipe dream

"I'm saying that there should be protection for all dissident behavior and speech. Dissidence of every kind, that's where the law should go". Well said!

This woman is sharp as a tack. If only people would listen and process what she is critical to bringing people together.

You can literally watch interviewer's hamster wheel spinning

She's the only Democrat I've heard, that makes any sense. Maybe there is hope.

"But now I'm confused...how is telling women to not blame men the same as telling women to be strong?" ffffuuuuuuu c'mon, at least try!

I think the real problem is that women have moved ahead very quickly with the establishment of their own sexual identity and equanimity of standing in sexual relationships but have failed to simultaneously develop their ability/willingness to take responsibility for their own actions in that regard. Not to sound like a comic book here but - With great power comes great responsibility! Women have eagerly taken up all the the reins of power but they continue to fail to act responsibly in the exercise of that power. When push comes to shove, many women will continue to fall back on finger pointing to escape having to take responsibility for their actions when those actions lead to undesirable outcomes. They know full well that when they point the finger at a man, society will rush in to destroy that man on their behalf. This is because society continues to considers women to be "powerless" (even though they are not) and affords them a protected status in that regard. As long a society continues to ignore the role of women in bringing about an undesirable outcome, we will have turmoil between the sexes.

This was not confusion, it was passive aggressive. Wise up people.

She has great points and that interviewer is CLUELESS

very smart woman, great points.

Her analysis of Madonna dead on.

Finally an intelligent individual saying out loud what I have been thinking for the last 20 years. Women need to step up and take responsibility for their own actions and decisions and stop playing the victim.

The interviewer can't have an abstract thought to save her life.

I'm a feminist like Camille is a feminist. Always have been, even before I knew about her.

sO yOU'rE SAyInG..

"Upper middle class career women want to define men in a way it operates smoothly in their own quite affluent career system" It's absolutely true

Paglia is a very interesting lady for sure. I think that people like her, and the thoughts that she brings to the table will serve to advance the gender issues in society. I was always impressed with her thoughts on women empowering themselves without bashing men about it. If you are a woman with respect and confidence in yourself and careful about what situations you put yourself in, you can avoid a lot of problems. As a man I do the same kind of thing when I go somewhere, I judge the situation and if I find it to be unsafe for myself or others with me I leave and take responsibility for myself. Example: Out for drinks with friends at a pub and it looks like a drunken brawl is brewing a table or two over, move towards paying your bill and leaving and not hanging around for the bedlam to start and putting yourself there.

This woman is one of the most intelligent democraps I have ever seen.

everyone talking about how the interviewer didn't understand anything Camille was talking about... what exactly should she have done? Say I completely agree after every sentence? and then what? It's called an interview not a conference: her role is precisely to get Camille to talk about any controversial points and guide her through an explanation for a possibly hostile public. She never attacked her (see Cathy Newman) never misinterpreted her words (see Cathy Newman) never interrupted (see... oh well you got it)

Remarkable woman! I Just "discovered" her and I am impressed !

She's my kind of transgender.

Where has this woman been all my life! So refreshing to see a feminist with heart and soul and balance.

I can understand why this reporter would be confused, she is talking to a strong and very intelligent wonan. 😊

Gender neutral bathrooms on planes are are one-person, completely different than regular bathrooms in stores with stalls. Women and children deserve their safety and privacy from biological men in such situations. Period.

Bloated Madonna didn't even know: 1. How to pronounce Prof. Paglia's last name. 2. That Paglia was her very first passionate supporter in academe.

The reporter is confused, isn't she? Lol

2:15-2:30 The most clarifying definition of the problem at hand. Given emotional context, it's easy to see why men react the way they do to feminism.

What a breath of fresh air Camille Paglia is. She's one-of-a-kind. She's worth more than 10,000 feminists... and they know it.

That interviewer had no idea what she was in for. Camille saw the direction the interviewer was going and did not budge an inch.

Camille is voice of reason.

The reporter in this interview is asking these really loaded questions. It shows the sloppy thinking behind the news these day.

So good to hear sensible feminist option, second wave feminism has lost the path

Paglia is 100% right. reporter seems very confused.

>Cites examples of female community through activities Interviewer: "you want women to do the laundry?" Bravo, employment selection committee.

The smartest point she made was when she said that she wanted "Protection for ALL dissident behavior and speech." That is the most brilliant and concise way I have heard the underlying principle of free speech and liberalism phrased.

I think this is the closest I’ll ever come to falling in love with an androgynous old lesbian. This is despite the incessant punctuation of her speech with Mackian m’kays

They should have chose a more intellectual interviewer cuz everything is going over this lady's head.

Camille-Large Intellect Anchor- Extremely small intellect

Only weak minded people interpret a disagreement as an attack on them personally.

I think Camille Paglia is an amazing woman and I hope more people read her books and listen to her opinions. She is a tonic for the ridiculous conversations we have about gender relations.

Controversial? The like/dislike bar says otherwise.

Camille Paglia's books, ok, would be twice as long, ok, if she wrote, ok, like she talks, ok

0:01 does anybody know where can I get this video of hers?

Why is it so hard for women to say No. "Do you want to go upstairs with me" just say no if you don't want to. Parents need to teach their kids to say No. The sexual assault victims say they are afraid to say no I think a lot if the times their parents never taught them the importance of no. I always said NO and if the person did not like it, too bad, not my problem.

There needs to be some kind of qualification system for journalism. I'm unfamiliar with this reporter's work, so perhaps it just wasn't her area, but I've seen too many reporters that attempt to obscure rather than elucidate their subject.

love this cammile this is a real woman and feminist...

why am i attracted to this woman? i find her fascinating. (and i'm hella shallow) i'm confused.

Glad the interviewer didn't get offended. She may have different views from paglia but she was very respectful and allowed her to speak freely. Good interview all in all
