sexism faced by girls in schools. all of these things are all possibly linked or paint a picture of a society that isn't very fair for women. >> do you think there's consensus in regard to a definition for sexism and sexual harassment both in terms of policy terms and the view that society takes generally. >> sexual harassment i think is clearly defined in the law. i think whether the general public's understanding of that tallies with what the law says is a different question and there was polling in the light of various allegations from hollywood and lots of attention on the issue of sexual harassment. polling about public perceptions of what sexual harassment was and it was not in line with what the law says sexual harassment is. it's quite worrying findings about perceptions. they were to be crimes or seen as that's part of everyday life. i think there's a mismatch between what the law says, what lottings of clear guidance from people say about what sexual harassment is. how it's dwefined in law and ho people migh

i think it's there's no doubt told that there is sexism within the gaming industry and by that what i mean is that at least half of all those the game regularly are women and yet when it comes to the amount of women in the development of games and indeed the number of women who are the pictures characters in games there are very few i mean i am not a gamer myself but i know people that do game regularly and they admit that yes it is a problem and of course there have been a number of campaigns across the world in australia in particular to to to see the impact of women in the gaming industry amplified and increased but having recognised as a problem i'm not sure that this is the best way to go about it the idea that you can just simply separate out women from men and that you can have women only forums i think is a bit one nine hundred seventy s. is a bit one nine hundred eighty s. perhaps and it's not the way that the real world works i think that if there is a genuine desire to counteract and to tackle sexism within the gaming industry the best way to do that is to get on the front

many say sexism is on the rise in russia. lolja: i think putin is the ultimate patriarch. a patriarchal society is his entire ideology. reporter: russian television shows vladimir putin giving a successful business woman his fatherly advice. president putin: don't forget to fulfill your demographic duty. reporter: in 1917, it was russia's women who went out to protest, thus helping to trigger the revolution and the overthrow of the tsars. they gained the right to vote long before most western women did. and they were the first to gain the right to a legal abortion. feminism flourished here. but 100 years later, the tide has turned. under the tsars, the smolny cathedral complex in st. petersburg operated a finishing school for young ladies, where they were trained to be good mothers and officers' wives. now there's a school for girls harp. the parentare fully behind it. >> they need to learn here how to be women. so much has been lost today in what it means to be a woman. they wear jeans, have to work. but i think a woman should remain a woman. reporter: the girls learn his

i think part and parcel with sexism there's almost like a powerism that's in play as well where it's just been you wiacce that those with power are allowed to abuse it and because of the male dominated nature of a lot of systems in the world, it's the men who have the power who are able to abuse it. i do think there is a big role to play. i think that there is -- curt vonnegut said it when we head sa -- he said artists are the canaries in the coal mine. they'll kill us first because we're so sensitive and because this movement has found its genesis in the entertainment industry shows you that this is something that is now starting to kill canaries and it should be something that expands past that. so there is a role to play. there is something to do. and you want to be allied with the side of doing something as opposed to being a part of the problem. >> do you have any qualms, timothee, about working with woody allen? your next film has him as director and he's been accused by his daughter of sexual abuse, hasn't been charged or arrested, none of that. i wonder whether you think abou

i will harken back to a comment you made earlier -- all of us being steeped in structural racism, sexism, and classism. it is an appreciation that one of the greatest challenges we also experience in intersectional work is that we show up to the table, but we show up bringing our identity alone to the table. and so we speak from our own perspective and our own vantage point, which is critically important, but we are not necessarily listening in, trying to really understand the experiences of others. and how that all works together. and the fact of the matter, speaking to your point, is if we don't appreciate that we are not just fighting a fight for some rights, we are fighting a fire for all rights -- if we do not appreciate that, what we're really trying to do is take down structural and institutional racism, classism, sexism, right, and all of the phobias borne out of it, then we lose sight of the bigger vision, and then we actually lose the war. so we start fighting these little fights, and we lose the bigger war. the importance -- the work we have to do is to not only educate oursel
