Laura Bates does a great job discussing how sexism affects everyone, regardless of gender, as well as how important it is to incorporate intersectionality of identities when trying to deconstruct inequalities in our society. She also incites hope around 13:30 and speaks to how community action has been gaining strength in the past two years around the world in response to acts of violence.
How great it would be, though, if these actions weren't reactionary to violations of women, or if they were wide-spread around the globe, or if they weren't needed because women were no longer treated as "second class citizens".
