men. the resident scholar of the american enterprise institute is the author or co-author of four nonfiction books including "who stole feminism?: how women have betrayed women," mcnerney king and the revised war against boys: how misguided policies are harming our young men". >> christina hoff summers, how do you define feminism? >> in the best sense feminism is the philosophy is that says the plant women are equal before the law. they deserve the same rights, the same liberties, equal dignity end basically a philosophy of basic fairness. >> host: in your book "who stole feminism?: how women have betrayed women" you talk about the new feminism. what is the new feminism? >> the new feminism emerged especially in thes and 90s and is a hard-line version. i became a feminist in the 70s. i did not appreciate male chauvinism and believed in equality of opportunity. however, in the 80s and 90s, i was reading a feminist the arrests and feminist philosophers and there were furious that were so agg

men. i still remember that. women could do a few things and men could do everything else. that had to change. it had to change because it was impressive for so many women. it held back so many talented wed, and there were schools where women were not welcome. very hard for women to enter. they simply were not welcome. a very rare woman could break through. so that had to change. we also had to raise consciousness about violence against women, sexual-harassment there were legitimate equity issues, and i am very grateful to all women and young women mostly grateful to the activists and the legislators during the second wave of feminism that change things very much for the better. .. >> these overtures were sometimes used, especially on blackmail women. and that needed to change. so more laws protecting women from discrimination and from harassment. so certainly a strong proponent of the equity legislation. >> host: if you have explained this from your book, who stole feminism, you said promo

men. she is the co-author of four books and her newest book "the war against boys" >> christina hoff sommers, how did you define feminism? >> in the best sense, feminism is philosophy that says men and women are equal before the law. they deserve the same rights. the same liberties. and equal dignigity. >> you talk about the new feminism in your book, what is the new feminism? >> it emerges in the '80s and '90s. in the '70s, i believed in quality of opportunity, but in the '80s and '90s i was reading feminist writers and there were theories that were so aggressive in being one, harsh towards male. they were following the model women are from venus and men with from hell. i felt it was a reverse chauvinism. so i took exception to that. and many other things. i found that i even developed terms that i called myself an equity feminist. and the other school is gender feminism because they believed in the sex-gender system and they were a group of theorist that thoughts women were oppressed. it

we're the punch line at most comedy shows, women, men, trans-men. whether that's on a standup comedy stage online or other medium. >> our community has a lot of comments. jay said asian rear get the hot chick. break that stereotype, hashtag diversity. we asked the question, nosy is cynical. that's a resounding no. in pitch perfect, the movie, who asian americans are passive types, the other is becca, i'm assuming beck c becca is the protagonist, will not associate with becca who is the protagonist. when will the side kicks when and how will the side kicks become the protagonists of their own narrative? >> i think that will happen when we start to realize that we're not looking for a seat at the table of white feminists and moult culturallism and simply having us on tv once a a while is not enough. so it's about deconstructing and rejecting that narrative and at the same time being really conscientious that we are not producing new dominant narratives. i get a lot of feedback saying i'm feisty. i'm saying that's not what feminists have to be. we need

for example, around men's health. now before they get angry and say that there is too much funding for breast cancer and about prostate cancer come up before they get there they say the traditional finish of masculinity means you are basically indifferent to health concerns. men do not go to the doctor as often for the routine screenings etc. all of those health issues are true and they come from a critique of the men spectrum and to that extent i think the men's movement has positive things to offer particularly about health and stress related diseases and how masculinity leads to -- that part i agree with that somehow because women have taken over the medical establishment and ththere's all thisthe result isr prostate cancer, i think not. or no funding for prostate cancer. but i don't blame women for this but i do think that is a reasonable critique. and so that is one thing. i think the major tributary that feeds the river on the men's rights movement has to do with fatherhood and the fathers rights movement. >> ho

so that's what i'm going to tell young men. man up, be the best that you can be at everything that you do in life. >> i want to thank our guests, jimmy, jeff, rodrigo, and tyler, and our community. see you online.

i work for men.one of the points i make is that if we rely on women's mentor women, we will never succeed because there aren't enough women at the top to match all women. and there are unspoken things that are holding us back. and so a man and a man in the room having a meeting alone or maybe at a bar, having a drink, it looks like, business and mentoring, a man and a woman, having alone looks like -- exactly. an older man and a younger woman meeting alone. let's be clear. we are talking about this, getting people into power, 86% are men and this is all about not just making it safe, but cheering on men to spend time with women. >> we called and covered the bob steele story. have of the city of new york says that he treats men and women equally. and i didn't know him when i wrote a the story. and i've met him send. >> absolutely. >> to 15 years ago, goldman sachs, he announced that he had daughters and he didn't feel comfortable having dinner with women. so he would have no dinners. >> but he had din

so that's what i'm going to tell young men. man up, be the best that you can be at everything that you do in life. >> i want to thank our guests, jimmy, jeff, rodrigo, and tyler, and our community. see you online. >> you're watching the news hour live from our headquarters in doha. we have the top stories. what happens to the human body when it doesn't get enough food? the effect of series war on refugees at the camp in damascus. >>> an egyptian student is dead and more than a hundred arrested as protest moves beyond the capitol

these men are from congo. the role of african union soldiers will become increasingly important here. this is the only safe way to get around bangui in the moment, in a convoy with african union forces. there are no french soldiers on the streets at the moment. there is no rule of law here. muslims are being targeted by christians, and christians are being targeted by m muslims. >> can anybody be done to curb the escalating violence? we turn to the director of foreign policy in focus at the institute for policy studies. appreciate you being here. let's talk about this notion that this is largely a conflict between christians and muslims. is that what is at the source? >> we have to remember at its essence the central african republic like many countries are resource rich. they have oil, uranium. it is a vital resource that makes the tensions flare up and continue to flare. >> it's chrome of wealth? >> control and access of mines, and really control and access of those resources both for internal actors, for mu

to be commander in chief or and by the way is not just a woman has to deal with men have to do it as well and one of the one of the ways the politics of the united states get pushed to the right regularly especially around military policy foreign policy military spending is by men being undermined men's masculinity being undermined if they don't take a right wing position or a strong position in favor of military action they are then feminized they're seen as less than really a man they're not they don't have what it takes to be the strong man that we need to lead but i have to say in two thousand and twelve women did represent a record fifty three percent of voters and that number is only expected to rise in coming elections why was politicians continue to pursue male oriented policies and alternately they're losing this battle. well. you're right on there's a demographic shift that's happening and for example obama in two thousand and twelve lost the white male vote by twenty seven percentage points twenty seven percentage points he was the white male vote but he still won in the i

have become ashamed to be men. i don't know if you can follow that, but it just seems that no one wants to take a stand and say, hey, it's okay to be whoever i want to be. everybody wants to be who somebody else wants you to be. i think that's problematic and frustrating. if you don't have a role model, you're jumping all over the place trying to be the flavor of the week or the month you want to be. >> a man in their personal view, we have some responses. mark, we have chris here: tyler, is there a way to ask that question without reinforcing roles of how men and women should behave differently? >> all i know, you talk about youth and the rise in suicides, and what we're talking about. i didn't come from a broken home. i had a very strong father. and he was a very strong role model. and unfortunately, he was not the one i needed. i didn't fit into those roles, and i felt like i was continually not measuring up to this idea of what it means to be a may be. maa man. so we have to redefine masculinity as strong and f

states plays an incredibly in powerful symbolic role in the in the sort of larger cultural system of men power not not just that he that he has always been he of course plays the role of chief executive of the country but in the symbolics and people age the role of him by the national manhood and so when women are trying to navigate that terrain when women are trying to get taken seriously for positions like they present a united states it's not just the obstacles of raising money or building support within the party they also have to overcome the categorical assumption that as women they are not really how can they embody the national manhood if they are a woman and by the way the president of the united states does embody the nation in a certain way and if the nation sees itself the united states as a masculine entity which it has been for since its inception dominated by white men then women have a really up hill road to climb so when a woman is trying to present herself or to be taken seriously you can expect that she's going to be cut down or some people are going to try to cut her

war on terror has turned into a war on arts and crafts because local police promptly arrest the two men and charged them with staging a terrorism a hoax as laughable as the charges the punishment for a terrorism hoax in oklahoma is no laughing matter carries a prison sentence of up to ten years these bogus charges is only distracting from the real issue the devastating effects fracking has on the humans and the environment just this week a new journal i'm sorry a new study from the journal and open ology found the link between the chemicals used in fracking and infertility birth defects and cancer but instead of worrying about these explosive revelations on fracking the government seems more concerned about the letter bombs and let's break this up. it was a. very. well that. was so great there are so. so. although we're still three years away from the next presidential election the corporate media is already salivating over hillary clinton's potential candidacy so of course it's time to cue up all the important questions like can a woman really be commander in chief was absurd double st

men have all the power. and individually -- women don't have the power and women don't feel powerful individually. so feminism we as a group need to address the imbalance of power at the top and individually feminism was about empowering women to have a wide range of choices, more options around reproduction and family life and all those sorts of things. so it basically says there was a symmetry between the aggregate powerlessness and the individual experience of power. you apply that to men. they have all the power in the world. therefore then must feel powerful. and then we are like what are you talking about? y. wife bosses me around, mike k., i am completely powerless. that analyst is fails to designate even then because men don't feel powerful. >> host: never did or don't now? >> guest: there's only one the king of the hill. we feel that we have to be subservient to the bosses. i tried telling my male students they have all the power. >> host: the idea that was also privileged -- >> guest: we all take t

from men, from women. they all knew that i was a pell nist, and it was very funny when i would come up to the times at first when i was starting my research and i'd just retired, and people would say so what are you doing, nan? i said i'm writing a book, and they said what are you writing about? and i'd say i'm writing about the women of the times. and they'd go, oh. i mean, they knew that the thrust of the book would be a feminist thrust because that is my history within the times. i was shop steward, i was very pro-union, i was an activist. i was going to say abe rosenthal called me a toner which is sort of yiddish for a mover and shaker and person who shakes things up. i'm always sort of up to no good. and they knew all of this, and yet every one of them cooperated. nobody said no, nobody got dicey or inaccessible to me. punch salzburger measured the table in the boardroom, that immensely long table which is two feet, six inches longer than the cabinet table in the white house that's so overwhelming to

these two men -- it was a great achievement for these two men to end the war and would like to say parenthetically sometimes people will argue and talk about a long civil war. yes, there are armies in the field, but what happens after appomattox is not going to revive hopes. they die here. it was a great achievement. this notion, it exists from the start. it is arguing about the terms, there is an air of congratulations. the gentlemen's agreement is rooted in an american exception laws and, how remarkable that we are able to and without massive executions. across the spectrum that impulse to self congratulations is present. even among people who in the next breath or audio with the terms really meant. my argument is nothing that will affect the alienable board. i know think one has to up throughout the old billboard so much as remember that the surrender was controversial. how could it not be? the road to true reconciliation was a very difficult one. to appreciate the meaning of surrendered we have to remember that they looked to lee and grant, the two most prestigious men in the country aside fro

it used to be true that men with children earnt more than men without children. that is beginning to shift. i don't think men are quite caught up to the reality. >> in last august hanna rosin published an article saying that the idea that there's a gender gap was a myth, and a gap exists, but the gap had less to do with discrimination and more with what happened with men and women, that they congregated in different jobs and women's pay dropped off because of things we discussed. child rearing and care giving of elder parents. is that fair. have we made too much? >> i agree with hannah, there's a gender gap. it used to be blatantly because people would look at a man and woman and decide she should learn less than he. i don't think it happens. truly it's not the central problem. the main problem is the way the system is set up, it makes it tougher for women to have all the pieces fit in their lives men. >> we have a social media question. michael todd says equality is not the deciding factor. more money doesn't always equal request. what do you say that? >> this g

the gender pay gap which has always favored men has narrowed to its closest level in history. the pew research center just finish ta tabulated the data, women have seen their wages rise 93% of men doing the same work . median hourly wages for all working women have increased 25% while they've actually decreased 4% for men. well for today's millennial generation women have reached parity in other ways as well. women aged 25 to 43 were in the labor force in 2012 compared to 70% of men in the same age group. yet, pew said there is no guarantee that today's young women will sustain their new parity with men in the coming years. part that have will be by choice. women today are still more likely to take time off from work when they get married or have children while for men the opposite is still true. they're more likely to keep working. and when you factor all of that in, the pay gap for all female workers aged 16 and older is 84% of what men make. that's still a significant gap. women still have made progress closing it over the last three decades. stay on twitter and facebook we

what did you learn from the men that joined your program? >> we learnt that it takes a lot for a man to be willing to report the amount of shame or fear about the reaction of others is pretty profound. men are worried if they were sexually assaulted by another man and they are married. and they tell their wife, they'll think they are gay. >> i nevered talked to anyone until i checked into the va. the day i checked in i broke down and cried. >> many of o'brien's patients deal with old wounds. he received weeks of therapy after waiting 50 years before assault. >> i was recluesive. i had been car nid -- married three times and was becoming a her mitt because i couldn't get my mind away from the event and the person. >> how difficult is it to treat someone coming forward so much later in life when someone tries to get through their life with a burden that they carry with ptsd and a history of sexual assault. that there's a colateral damage, things like failed marriages and relationships, substance abuse. many service members blamed the macho cul

it is bad that she reduces all of them to men suck.ne thing she over looks is one of the reasons that today's world was built by men was women were not allowed to do that stuff. my way of looking at it is their job is more important which is creating a life. creating a life is better than making a bridge. are more eke penneddable. expendable. >> you only need one man to make a city, but you a city full of women to make a city. >> she is doing the very thing femmism is saying. attacking one entire i am a woman and i can speak really well, attacking one gender and i have a problem with that. >> let me man-splain to you. >> god i hate that word. >> i will say slut-shamig. >> who are you going out with? >> that was my mother. >> can you splain it like ricky ricardo would? >> if men stop building things how would women get to yoga class? that's what she is saying. >> if somebody goes to yoga class five days a week. when you talk about men building things, i like to look at my soft -- >> i feel like if we arm wrestled i would win. >> i said,
