Cristina Rad

[Robert_S]

Reasonable, informative and entertaining.

A contrast from some other voices I've heard lately.

[Xamonas Chegwé]

Agreed. She talks a lot of sense. Finally, a hawt woman that can...

[Santa_Claus]

She doesn't half bang on........

Thanks for posting the link, Robert_S.

In particular I like this (6:34): "Patriarchy was never created with an explicit intention of oppressing women. It was probably created with the bes intentions in mind, thinking that this is how the world would function best. Oppression was a consequence, not a purpose." Having said that, Cristina Rad then proceeds to shred patriarchal values, concluding with: "These [patriarchal] gender stereotypes are oppressive to both men and women."

The last third of her exposition concerned freedom of speech and the skepchick kerfuffle with particular reference to Rebecca Watson, and seemed a bit uneven in quality.

You're quoting Cristina in a leg-pulling way, yes? Thought so.

Got to 30 seconds before being overcome with snooziness at her profound insight in to listening to people I might disagree with.

Might have a wank later, though.

Fraid so. I do that.

It was made August fifth.

The situation seems to have evolved a lot since then. But she does raise a few good points about all that.

Also, her opinion about feminism has changed over time. It's almost as if she's going on her most current information and evaluation rather than sticking to a dogmatic position.

Got to 30 seconds before realising yet another woman is smarter than me.

If only I had testicles I could console myself with a wank.

[Tero]

Cute accent. If I was a 20s guy I would date her. She does not seem A+ at all. But...if I did date her I would have to listen to her more than 7 minutes. Which is how far I got.

The accent was familiar and it finally came to me: Andre Codrescu.

This .. although my wank will be unrelated.

[PsychoSerenity]

I like her videos. She usually make interesting points, and I like the style/editing of them too.

[Pappa]

Is she on the "Wall of Hate" (yet)?

[laklak]

Would it be sexist to say I'd do her? If so then I won't (say it I mean, I'd still do her), but otherwise bang a gong.
