- 0:14so you said you found out that 64% of
- 0:18the women in your 62 of the women out of
- 0:20100 or as violent yeah how did you find
- 0:23that well we did three generational
- 0:25questionnaires together and what kind of
- 0:29abuse were they most different but the
- 0:32ones that actually were viola themselves
- 0:33you could see were mostly from
- 0:35violence-prone families because it is
- 0:37generational that's what I was trying to
- 0:39say look have a look at this because the
- 0:42idea was in the feminist ideology and
- 0:45also what they talked about was all
- 0:47these innocent no hapless women coming
- 0:50in with children with these brutal
- 0:52violent men behind them no it's not like
- 0:54that anymore than it is for men I mean
- 0:57there are men who are extraordinarily
- 0:58violent coming from violent backgrounds
- 1:01but there's plenty of men who by
- 1:02accident
- 1:03get involved with violent women and that
- 1:06ended up suffering exactly the same way
- 1:09so were you finding more women that were
- 1:12violent towards their male partner or
- 1:14towards their children the figures for
- 1:17women being bad towards their children
- 1:18is much higher and you can't just simply
- 1:21say oh well it's because women are
- 1:23actually left to learn the children far
- 1:24more than men that's true but the fact
- 1:26is neither a man and a majority of with
- 1:29the very serious violence that people do
- 1:32have personality disorders one sort or
- 1:34another you can't leave them alone with
- 1:36very vulnerable small children they
- 1:37can't cope it's cruel and we fortunately
- 1:41because of the programs we ran theater
- 1:44mother coming in who was dangerous to
- 1:46her children
- 1:47I would then be able to put her in one
- 1:49of our houses where the older mothers
- 1:51would mother her and take care of her
- 1:53and her children that's what was needed
- 1:55not keep taking the children away where
- 1:58they keep getting replaced because
- 2:00you're only doubling and troubling the
- 2:02problem but nobody would listen
- 2:06processing everything
- 2:10I think there's a tendency in this
- 2:12debate between women's issues and men's
- 2:15issues to take whatever statistic is
- 2:19against a certain gender and you if you
- 2:22are that gender you feel attacked if
- 2:24you're the opposite gender you're saying
- 2:26see that's what I keep saying talk to
- 2:31both sides is can we stop that what you
- 2:34did to me and what I did to you because
- 2:35that's not what it's about it never has
- 2:37been about actually it's actually what
- 2:40happened to you how you grew up what
- 2:43happened to you what you're doing now
- 2:44how you're trying to make relationships
- 2:46or failing to make relationships whether
- 2:49you're a man or a woman that isn't the
- 2:52issue and we're wasting so much time on
- 2:54this wall anytime you talk to
- 2:59impassioned men who have been burnt
- 3:01horribly by what's happened to them you
- 3:04can say the same to a woman who's been
- 3:05horribly burned what's happened to that
- 3:07isn't the answer the time was got and
- 3:09actually I'm very glad we have a thing
- 3:11called Wow which women of the world
- 3:13every year it's always done on when
- 3:15Women's Day International Women's Day
- 3:17March the 8th and it was so wonderful
- 3:20for me because sitting there talking to
- 3:23and the room was absolutely packed was
- 3:25about as big as this with women all
- 3:27against the walls and men and I remember
- 3:30saying at the end thinking how is this
- 3:32gonna die just said if men and women
- 3:34won't come together to work on this
- 3:37subject of domestic violence then there
- 3:39really is no future and all the women in
- 3:43the room there's only one woman but
- 3:45everybody else said we agree and they
- 3:48were all feminists so I think I hope I
- 3:51have is that there is a new much younger
- 3:55feminists not carrying the burdens of
- 3:57the very early feminists who now have a
- 3:59great deal of freedom to make the
- 4:01decisions they want to make and I'm
- 4:03hoping that they will bring that to the
- 4:05table and work with men because I've
- 4:07always said that it's a great need and
- 4:10there will always be a need for women's
- 4:12movement because the fact is that women
- 4:17when they're having children in their
- 4:19lives are vulnerable and there's we have
- 4:21to meet
- 4:22men's needs and what women need and we
- 4:25will need to always make sure that the
- 4:29balance is equal and for me it wasn't
- 4:32that I ever
- 4:33I left a movement that I passionately
- 4:35believed in and it was a vision that I
- 4:38had and I just feel it's been terribly
- 4:41betrayed in some ways it you know I've
- 4:48been interviewing emerets since July and
- 4:51still have a long road to go but but it
- 4:54it seems like every person I interview
- 4:56in the men's rights movement has a
- 4:57different take on the issues Warren
- 5:00Farrell seems very balanced in his views
- 5:03on women's issues and men's issues and
- 5:05wants to see a gender transition where
- 5:07we're letting men stay home and we're
- 5:09encouraging women to be a part of the
- 5:11workforce and run for president and then
- 5:15you have some other men like Harry
- 5:17Crouch who seems a little he's angry and
- 5:19he'll admit it and it comes off you know
- 5:25that times I felt like I was being
- 5:27attacked just for being a woman in the
- 5:29room as he talked about issues that men
- 5:31were coming in with and talked about you
- 5:33see one of the things I think was very
- 5:34difficult with the men is so many times
- 5:37you're talking to the walking wounded
- 5:38because they haven't healed themselves
- 5:40and you have that also you know in women
- 5:43have come from extremely burning
- 5:45backgrounds and until they actually have
- 5:49dealt with what's happened to them and
- 5:51being able to make some peace within
- 5:53themselves they do more harm than good
- 5:55because they're talking is this women's
- 5:58thing they always said the personal is
- 6:00political will actually no it isn't fact
- 6:03my father and mother were dysfunctional
- 6:04doesn't make all men and women
- 6:06dysfunctional and I feel that's my
- 6:08message to the men as well the fact at
- 6:11the end of the day it was your choice
- 6:13was my choice the marriages I made they
- 6:16didn't work out whatever the reason is
- 6:18I'm responsible for my choice and the
- 6:21same for men so I wouldn't want and I
- 6:25tend to work with men who to a certain
- 6:27extent have reached a position where
- 6:31like Warren they can be be able to
- 6:34median
- 6:34their personal needs and the needs to
- 6:37make a movement that is going to bring
- 6:40harmony hopefully eventually to all of
- 6:42us but yeah I just had a Epiphany with
- 6:48you saying that that you know the
- 6:50feminists that are men hating are really
- 6:53hurting yeah and vice versa
- 6:55absolutely walking wounded and some of
- 6:58them were wounded from and before they
- 7:01were born I think we would only begin to
- 7:04take time to understand what actually
- 7:07happens to a child when they're exposed
- 7:10to this sort of thing I think the one
- 7:12thing that when Kathy was standing in
- 7:15front of me
- 7:16it wasn't the bruises that made me aware
- 7:20but there was that moment when she said
- 7:22and no one will help me and I remember
- 7:26being 17 with my sister and my brother
- 7:29was 14 my mother had died of cancer my
- 7:32father bought the body home put it in
- 7:34the dining room on the table and for six
- 7:37days he wouldn't bury her so she rotted
- 7:40and every night he had asked us to come
- 7:42in and he'd pull the cover off her there
- 7:45was no think often and we'd see her and
- 7:47I asked everybody not the doctor odd
- 7:51family doctor miss Williams who brought
- 7:53us up in the holiday house to come and
- 7:55help us they came but none of them
- 7:58helped us and that was why the earth
- 8:02which mover was born because Cathy said
- 8:05and no one will help me and she was
- 8:08right no one would the doctor gave her
- 8:10tranquilizers to cope with the beatings
- 8:13psychiatrist gave her even more pills
- 8:15so she was addicted to pills everybody
- 8:17around her let it go on and my life's
- 8:22work is that we do have to listen we do
- 8:25have to hear and we do have to recognize
- 8:28but it's too late often by the
- 8:31you're talking to somebody who's in
- 8:32their 40s 50 60 s it's this next
- 8:35generation of children who are now being
- 8:37born that we should be working with so
- 8:43do you think this is just is this some
- 8:46women's issues she was battered I know I
- 8:48was helping her or is it men's issues
- 8:50that they're being ignored and they're
- 8:52being called whiners and suck it up or
- 8:55is it just a humanity lacking compassion
- 8:57it's a human issue and there are no
- 9:00votes one of the greatest fears for any
- 9:04man standing up in your Senate is that
- 9:08he will lose women's votes and who does
- 9:11the voting women dickly politically
- 9:14active women it's the same in England
- 9:19yeah and the the idea that anybody we
- 9:23have no no - nope members of parliament
- 9:26who stand up for men's rights in our
- 9:28country I don't think you have any yeah
- 9:31well that says it all doesn't it men run
- 9:37Congress meant that we have a male
- 9:39president
- 9:41you know the highest but then maybe you
- 9:43also have to say his men have no history
- 9:45of helping each other in emotional
- 9:47issues they don't there's actually no
- 9:52mystery what aren't there feminists
- 9:55trying to feminize men to be more
- 10:00emotional and share their feelings no
- 10:02most feminists don't want men in their
- 10:04lives actually that's that's the trouble
- 10:08there that this war that's been declared
- 10:11is actually being declared on men and
- 10:13instead of putting out a hand and saying
- 10:17hey let's look at this together it has
- 10:18been such a brutal war and men have lost
- 10:21so much because of it that at the moment
- 10:25there as far as I can see this is going
- 10:27to go on until such time as I don't see
- 10:32what's going to actually if nothing is
- 10:34done the whole fabric of our social
- 10:38conditions in in countries like ours are
- 10:41just falling apart so we need a lesson
- 10:44to men so shoes we need to listen to
- 10:47human issues which is the family the
- 10:50idea that the family should be destroyed
- 10:52and it has been very destroyed means
- 10:55that you actually take away the most
- 10:57valuable to human beings who love each
- 11:01other
- 11:01commit themselves to each other and
- 11:03choose to have children or not have
- 11:05children that's what we should be
- 11:07celebrating and we don't we tell men
- 11:12that they should remove themselves that
- 11:15women will have the children women will
- 11:17look after the children and that men are
- 11:19irrelevant we view were punitive towards
- 11:23them in schools schools on the whole
- 11:26boys failing we know that men are
- 11:29failing on campuses and nothing's being
- 11:32done about it
- 11:34there are male feminists that are
- 11:38trying to bring equality to men does
- 11:41that work
- 11:42I don't see why I don't see what all men
- 11:45can't be feminists because they agree
- 11:48but one of the problems with the male
- 11:49Fender feminists with the whole attitude
- 11:51towards men is somehow men have to be
- 11:53punished until they're good there's
- 11:56something by being male what if they
- 11:58said in there you look at the pickets
- 11:59then one needs to pick it meet or just
- 12:01to say all men are bastards all men are
- 12:03rapists that is behind all the anger
- 12:07that is what's being said about men and
- 12:09it's not true I can't believe anyone who
- 12:12would believe that though I mean lots of
- 12:15lots and lots and lots of radical
- 12:18feminists absolutely do believe it no
- 12:20you don't hear about them no you don't
- 12:22because their conference is a secret I'm
- 12:24certainly not allowed into them but
- 12:26there's plenty of them there's plenty of
- 12:28them in the UN it's actually quite
- 12:31comforting I went to open the first top
- 12:34open the first refuge in the Arab world
- 12:36in Bahrain and it hadn't been feminized
- 12:40at all and it was such a relief to be
- 12:42able to talk to a huge packed room of
- 12:47big room with women and some men talking
- 12:50about issues they'd never been able to
- 12:51talk about publicly abortion
- 12:53contraception which wasn't allowed there
- 12:55and there was no other was no nobody
- 12:58actually trying to make a war and one of
- 13:02the things that I said to the refuge
- 13:03where they asked me to come out was I'm
- 13:05very happy to come out but I do want you
- 13:07to promise me that you will also listen
- 13:10to men not just women and they did and
- 13:15that was that was wonderful
- 13:19why do you think so few women are on
- 13:23board with the men's movement first of
- 13:29all I think most women aren't on board
- 13:31even with feminism I mean we have this
- 13:33kind of idea because we work in the
- 13:35circles we work that everybody's like us
- 13:37they're not the average women on the
- 13:39streets if you said to them are you a
- 13:41feminist they probably love the average
- 13:45people don't get involved with any of
- 13:46this I think well certainly boys for men
- 13:50has women working with them and they're
- 13:53very responsible towards their women and
- 13:56I think more women will actually and are
- 13:58beginning to see that the scales have to
- 14:02have tilted so disastrously that they
- 14:05actually do want to be involved I know a
- 14:07lot of women I get contacted by an awful
- 14:09lot of women who have sons who involved
- 14:11themselves with very violent partners
- 14:14and they they can't see their
- 14:15grandchildren particularly that's one of
- 14:17the great sorrows with a pretty
- 14:18grandparent but in a way I think that
- 14:24what a lot of women are quite frightened
- 14:26of the idea of getting involved with
- 14:28men's m-ras because they assume m-ras
- 14:31are going to be against them and that's
- 14:33not true actually
- 14:34I have a much better relationship with
- 14:38mrs and ever if I do try to talk to
- 14:40radical feminists because they hate me
- 14:43with a passion where it's m-ras might
- 14:45completely disagree with me but there
- 14:47isn't that fanatical hatred and actually
- 14:51you have to remember that behind so many
- 14:53of those that began the women's movement
- 14:54they were harmed by their fathers they
- 14:58did have fathers who betrayed and they
- 15:01did make personal political but that
- 15:06isn't the answer but so do MRIs oh yes
- 15:10they do I don't think is the answer for
- 15:12either side that's my argument with both
- 15:14sides you are wasting your time and this
- 15:17is in many ways I find it very
- 15:19self-indulgent everybody working
- 15:21themselves up into grace and having
- 15:23whatever all of it because
- 15:25issue isn't that the issue is its
- 15:28generational while you're busy playing
- 15:31gender Wars for one reason or another
- 15:33there are children being born who have
- 15:35no choice are you familiar with Dina's
- 15:42maze he put together a document with the
- 15:46top emery issues and initiatives that
- 15:48they want to put forth and one of the
- 15:50issues was talking about male
- 15:53reproductive rights and here's a
- 15:55virtually have none yes that's the right
- 15:57to have sex and wear a condom if you
- 15:59choose but they wanted to put forth a a
- 16:05bill that would require fathers to sign
- 16:10a consent form upon the child being born
- 16:13and if they consent it to fatherhood
- 16:16they could sign that their name that
- 16:18they consent to the responsibility of
- 16:20taking care of that child or they can
- 16:22write off the responsibility and say I'm
- 16:24not responsible for this child I did not
- 16:26I do not choose to father this child's
- 16:29they're relieved him any child support
- 16:30and they're out of work sure it's like
- 16:37so many of these intellectual ideas
- 16:39completely it's not gonna work
- 16:41when is he supposed to sign this upon
- 16:44the baby being born what about before
- 16:46the baby was born well I guess the idea
- 16:49is no I don't it if I know Dean very
- 16:53well we talked a lot he said that to me
- 16:54and I would have said why don't you
- 16:57concentrate on making sure that we do
- 17:01get male contraception I think it is
- 17:03extremely hard on that and I've seen it
- 17:06happen quite a lot of times and it's
- 17:08it's very common for women to decide to
- 17:11have a child choose a man and then one
- 17:13way or another they will have the child
- 17:14and he doesn't get a say in the matter
- 17:17yes their belief or if if if men had
- 17:20control over their own contraception
- 17:25then it would be great to more equal I
- 17:28think most women would agree give them
- 17:31contraceptives it
- 17:32Leoni yep whoa both of you
- 17:35you know what don't be fear and both be
- 17:38safe yes absolutely for that I just I
- 17:44just think all this legislating about
- 17:46human relationships you know it's a
- 17:48shocking waste of time because we humans
- 17:50aren't rational about our sexuality or
- 17:53about what we do in relationships we
- 17:55really aren't so let's be real the one
- 17:58thing I would suggest is that we take
- 18:00where there is domestic violence in in
- 18:03relationships we take those cases out of
- 18:07the courts because of it the law is a
- 18:11very heavy instrument and human
- 18:14relationships are very fragile they need
- 18:16to be taken out and dealt with by people
- 18:18who actually know what needs to be done
- 18:21what we did in the refuge is we got an
- 18:24imp
- 18:25I never happened before we got the Law
- 18:28Society to give us a waiver so the
- 18:31lawyers could come to our refuge and see
- 18:33the mothers and children together and
- 18:35get a personal relationship with them
- 18:38and then mostly we would mediate even
- 18:41with the very violent men to a position
- 18:43where either side worked oh it didn't
- 18:45always work I mean there were times we
- 18:47just had to say no this is not going to
- 18:48happen he's too violent but it would and
- 18:52then we only use the courts to sign the
- 18:54final documents see I just think his
- 18:57whole the drama into the relationship
- 18:59when it's it's it's very volatile anyway
- 19:02put it in a court situation where it's
- 19:05antagonistic it's not it's it's only
- 19:08going to make it a great deal of us and
- 19:10very very dangerous every time people
- 19:12would say oh now we've fought hard and
- 19:14now we can we could have these out stirs
- 19:16and we can do this to man we can do that
- 19:18to the map and I'd look at them thinking
- 19:20do you know what a very violent man the
- 19:24piece of paper means nothing - the more
- 19:27you do this the more danger she's in
- 19:29because if a man is extremely de or a
- 19:32woman and particularly if they're
- 19:34morbidly jealous then the only safety
- 19:36she has is miles away from where he is
- 19:39so he cannot track
- 19:43that question for you when talking to
- 19:47the emerets they make it seem like a
- 19:51women can simply lie on the court say he
- 19:55abused you say he raped you molest of
- 19:58your kids and he's put away and and
- 20:01women have all the power in courts they
- 20:04do in the whole because you have to
- 20:05remember that the courts have been
- 20:07feminized favorite all of all and but in
- 20:10the Western world all the education on
- 20:12domestic months has been done by the
- 20:15feminist movement women's AIDS in
- 20:17England it's the women's aid Federation
- 20:18they're all their packages and all their
- 20:21packages are actually anti men men are
- 20:23the perpetrators so in a sense it's been
- 20:27a great deal of brainwashing that's gone
- 20:29on and yes women can get away with with
- 20:32murder literally and and it's unjust and
- 20:37it's unfair and that's why we need to
- 20:43actually take that down tick tock the
- 20:47antagonism between men and women because
- 20:49of all these situations because this is
- 20:52false situation you take it back to
- 20:56generational violence and you treat it
- 20:58there you treated within maternity house
- 21:02hospitals you treated in schools you
- 21:04treat it very very early on and then we
- 21:07won't end up like this but this partly
- 21:14to you no majority of men don't want
- 21:16women to step off the pedestal and you
- 21:20know there is this very big part of men
- 21:23that don't want to believe that women
- 21:25can be evil and violent and dangerous
- 21:29and the other thing I find with the
- 21:32people that I work with is that a man
- 21:34wouldn't freely admit his father does
- 21:36but he finds it very hard
- 21:38anything about his mother
- 21:48I have a hard time thinking of women
- 21:50being violent and evil in conniving
- 21:52should have met my mother but then she's
- 21:55only a product of her background that's
- 21:57why I don't see people as evil but I
- 22:00just see them as as you know that
- 22:02there's a wonderful line if I can get it
- 22:04right I'll paraphrase it said it's a
- 22:06poet called Auden he's one of our
- 22:08English poets one of the best perks ever
- 22:10and he says it's virtually it's or
- 22:11something like every schoolboy knows
- 22:13that evil that is done I will do evil in
- 22:16return and in a sense that is right that
- 22:19is what happens what I'm interested in
- 22:22transcending what is it about say for
- 22:26children and her family that makes it
- 22:29possible for her but for the girl who
- 22:31came to visit me yesterday she really
- 22:34transcended her extremely violent
- 22:36background and she's made a huge success
- 22:39of her life what is it about her as
- 22:42opposed to other brothers and sisters we
- 22:45never look at that we never even talk
- 22:46about it because we don't talk about
- 22:48generational violence we just talk about
- 22:50women fighting men and men battering
- 22:53women and we don't really talk very much
- 22:56at all about children doing no in this
- 22:57just ignore them yeah they are the
- 23:01victims who's teaching these I mean well
- 23:05you say it's learned behavior being
- 23:07violent is learned behavior it's done to
- 23:09you not even that I mean with the
- 23:12plasticity of the brain of small
- 23:14children because nobody really banked on
- 23:17that for a long time they thought bring
- 23:18a child was born all wired up and they
- 23:21didn't realize that actually it's
- 23:23virtually you have your genetic you hold
- 23:25your genetic package and what you what
- 23:28you have in your hand there after
- 23:30experience is the architect of the brain
- 23:33and that's a very important concept
- 23:36everything that child has it's like a
- 23:40sponge so all the violence the screaming
- 23:43the anger the the alcohol and the abuse
- 23:46that goes on in the youngest I think of
- 23:50any child I saw or I knew about that was
- 23:53sexually abused was a little girl she
- 23:56was three months old and her mother
- 23:58and he loves to kiss her peepee I
- 24:00remember looking at her and saying you
- 24:03know that's wrong and in that case all
- 24:07that family was not only violent but it
- 24:09was also sexually abusive and the mother
- 24:15was just as spineless as the father in
- 24:17that case and it was being able for her
- 24:19to come into the refuge sometimes for
- 24:21six months at a time that was the time
- 24:23we had known we could work with the
- 24:25children and most of what we did and all
- 24:29the funding that I ever had was went
- 24:31towards the children because that was my
- 24:34greatest hope of change this is what
- 24:37saved me is a child yeah why did you
- 24:42turn out the way you are and not become
- 24:44violence from being I was very much as a
- 24:47child I wrote a book called infernal
- 24:49child I was very dangerous as well and
- 24:51it was when I went my parents were sent
- 24:55back to China and they were I live in a
- 24:57foreign office and they were under that
- 24:59they were captured by the Communist and
- 25:00Miss Williams was the woman who ran the
- 25:02children's home and there was this woman
- 25:05she was six foot seven if you can
- 25:06imagine she was a giant and she I looked
- 25:10at her and I thought I want to be like
- 25:12you she actually she drove ambulances in
- 25:16the war and she was a golf challenge of
- 25:18champion and she was also a magistrate
- 25:22and she was amazing
- 25:24I was the own she was the only person
- 25:25that could make me behaviors I wanted a
- 25:28good opinion of me and that's why I
- 25:30filled the refuge full of mentors
- 25:33particularly men and even now so many of
- 25:38the children they recite the names of
- 25:40the men that they know anew for the
- 25:42refuge you had more men mentors than
- 25:45women mentors nobody could not any
- 25:47pulley yeah yeah that just went it fly
- 25:51today huh
- 25:52it was no men are allowed at refuges we
- 25:55do have this stigma that men could
- 25:58be pedophiles except if you do work I do
- 26:03I've had dealt with as many women
- 26:05pedophiles it's just that they're not
- 26:07suspected like men so hard to wrap my
- 26:14brain around this no because if you just
- 26:16think you have to just change the way
- 26:18you think if a little girl is sexually
- 26:20abused chances are she will move on and
- 26:23sexually abused pedophiles tend to
- 26:26actually act out the times when they
- 26:29were molested his children virtually all
- 26:31pedophiles have been sexually abused as
- 26:33children and I did a lot of work to
- 26:36clean Santa Fe because that was very
- 26:38lawless when I was down there in the 80s
- 26:40and there are only two DA's and there
- 26:43were a lot of pedophiles came down there
- 26:45because they could get away with it I
- 26:47remember talking to one pedophile he
- 26:49said well I don't really care what you
- 26:50do because I'm gonna move out to Alaska
- 26:53and that's what he do he fuzhi was in
- 26:55the government he just move his whole
- 26:57operation out there yeah there is
- 27:00nothing that men can do that women don't
- 27:03do there isn't actually even rain how
- 27:09does that work well erections are a
- 27:15physiological reaction to stimulation so
- 27:18a woman can stimulate a man and rape him
- 27:21just as even if against his will
- 27:24it can happen does happen but actually
- 27:29one of the problems with a whole rape
- 27:31issue is it now it's become a really
- 27:34there's a kind of myth that we all live
- 27:37in this this this rape society we don't
- 27:40the actual rape which happens between
- 27:44between people happens and it certainly
- 27:48happens but it's now been watered down
- 27:50to where it's become rather like in the
- 27:52definition for domestic violence the
- 27:54definition for domestic violence is so
- 27:56wide now that raising your voice
- 27:58shouting at your partner is domestic
- 28:01violence and I've always said most
- 28:04couples should be in jail because
- 28:06throwing things I'd throw a cup of
- 28:08coffee in my time
- 28:10you know I mean it's ridiculous and the
- 28:12thing with rape they should I think and
- 28:14you get screamed after saying this there
- 28:16is rape well somebody a man if you like
- 28:19with the evil intent violates a woman
- 28:23and harm so we're just even by raping
- 28:25her he's harming her but then when we
- 28:27get to people who know each other
- 28:30the a man and a woman who are in bed
- 28:32together and she suddenly announces that
- 28:34he's guilty of raping her this this is a
- 28:36whole different argument and the two
- 28:39things don't weigh equally and I think
- 28:42we need to separate it because at the
- 28:43moment it's a mess and it's getting
- 28:46everybody nowhere it's very confusing
- 28:49what the different definition of rape or
- 28:52sexual assault is well really you can't
- 28:55define it because it it's again it's
- 28:57this thing of he says she says but if if
- 29:01in a sense again it's no evidence isn't
- 29:04it if she says I mean there was a case
- 29:06which in fact their voice four men were
- 29:09involved with III he was on my show last
- 29:12week and he finally after Pauling
- 29:15childhood made it to Harvard and this is
- 29:20a public so I'm not talking out of turn
- 29:22he made it to Harvard and he dated a
- 29:24girl he took her out and he was kissing
- 29:26her they went back and he went back to
- 29:29his place and she went back to her as
- 29:31the next thing you know she's claimed
- 29:32rape there's no evidence there's no
- 29:35semen there's nothing he just says she
- 29:37just said he was kissing her and then he
- 29:39got his he masturbated and that's he was
- 29:45then thrown out of Harvard this is what
- 29:47this arguments about he's trying to get
- 29:49a trial by jury because he believes and
- 29:51I believe with him that if there was a
- 29:53trial by jury he'd be found not guilty
- 29:55but he's ruined but they were kissing
- 29:59and then he masturbated and she didn't
- 30:01even say that all I know is that the
- 30:03evidences that he said she he ejaculated
- 30:07he masturbated whether he was moving
- 30:10against her when he was kissing her or
- 30:11whatever I don't know the details but
- 30:13that's what what
- 30:15that is now yesterday I think it was
- 30:18there was a demonstration in Idaho in
- 30:20the courts two trees trying to get a
- 30:23trial by jury I do think that additive
- 30:27very simple level it should be equal so
- 30:31when there is an allegation of rape the
- 30:34so called rapist has a right to legal
- 30:37representation
- 30:38just as the victim knows well so there's
- 30:42a new saying and the young feminist
- 30:44community online saying consent having
- 30:50sex with consent means saying a
- 30:53resounding yes an enthusiastic yes
- 30:58because because actually that's what you
- 31:01hope sexual intercourse between men and
- 31:02women is isn't it
- 31:04a resounding yes let's do this but
- 31:07people don't I know of course they don't
- 31:09and and so often over the last case that
- 31:13I was interested in the woman who came
- 31:14to see me and she explained she'd been
- 31:16at a party as married man was making
- 31:18tracing her around he kissed her outside
- 31:22she went outside he came outside he
- 31:24tried to kiss her she pushed him off she
- 31:27came inside she went upstairs to the
- 31:29bathroom where she said he came up and
- 31:31knocked on the door she told him to go
- 31:33away then she decides rather than go
- 31:38home because her car's outside of the
- 31:39house that she'll stay the night so she
- 31:43decides to stay the night she's given a
- 31:45sleeping bag and she goes into the study
- 31:47in the house and then halfway through
- 31:49the night he comes in and sits down
- 31:53beside the sleeping bag he then says she
- 31:57raped him he raped her for two years she
- 32:01said nothing and all of a sudden she's
- 32:04now decided to do him for rape so she
- 32:07goes to the police and the police ring
- 32:09him up he's with his family in Hong Kong
- 32:11he's he's always had an extremely good
- 32:13job even when they're angry and he says
- 32:15to the police well yes it did happen it
- 32:17was consensual she was in the sleeping
- 32:21bag I came in she opened the sleeping
- 32:23bag
- 32:23I know she did that she said she did
- 32:26right well where do you go from there
- 32:31if it's he said she said
- 32:34then her feelings her emotion that and
- 32:39it's not like they have a camera
- 32:41recording their audio device to hear it
- 32:43she said yes or not like my actions my
- 32:46concern for her was that she get torn
- 32:49apart in a court she would and my
- 32:52feeling was to say to her we'll
- 32:54understand this because she had other
- 32:58very serious issues and be honest with
- 33:01you what I thought she wasn't a patient
- 33:03of mine but she'd asked me for my
- 33:04opinion my thought at the end of it is
- 33:07what happened is that she did have sex
- 33:09with him and then she found that that
- 33:11was all he wanted and thereafter he
- 33:14virtually ignored her and that was
- 33:17enough to make her feel terrible
- 33:23I eyed as far as I'm concerned I think
- 33:27it'd be one of the things I did find is
- 33:37that if things left in the unconscious
- 33:39which they are most for most of the
- 33:42things that our brains can't bear to
- 33:43look at all our feelings it could drive
- 33:47you to do things that even you are
- 33:49amazed by or ashamed by and a bit of
- 33:53alcohol can make it even more dangerous
- 33:54for you and I know there was a lot of
- 33:57times when you're talking very because
- 34:00it you know Freud was the first person
- 34:04to ever even explain the unconscious
- 34:06nobody even knew it existed before but
- 34:08the thing he didn't do is to map the
- 34:10unconscious but he didn't know how to
- 34:12and I was thought if you take a woman by
- 34:16the hand and you begin at the beginning
- 34:19of the first of her ever memories and
- 34:22you to walk through what happened during
- 34:25all that time so she can resolve and
- 34:28suddenly other things come up now I used
- 34:31to say it's like unpacking an attic
- 34:34that's been full of packing cases that
- 34:36you've never looked at and that's the
- 34:39work I used to do with the mothers
- 34:40because they were with me long enough to
- 34:42be able to do it it isn't well we'll
- 34:45take you in from one month then you have
- 34:46to find somewhere to live or willful it
- 34:48was like women could stay in the crisis
- 34:50refuge as long as they wanted to some
- 34:52stay for years some who've done and
- 34:55became mothers who actually ran the
- 34:57refuge others moved on to second stages
- 34:59and they were there for three or four
- 35:01years others moved off by themselves
- 35:03quite happily but there were chances
- 35:06there for people to really find out who
- 35:08they are and one of the problems for
- 35:11counseling it's not properly taught
- 35:13because again the what people were
- 35:16counselors are taught essentially is
- 35:19males or perpetrators and females are
- 35:22innocent victims right it's not like
- 35:24that human nature is infinitely
- 35:28educated do you think every victim has
- 35:34to take some responsibility for what
- 35:36happened
- 35:36we'll make choices we take
- 35:38responsibility for our choices and until
- 35:40you actually wake up to why you do it
- 35:42and it took me a very long time to
- 35:46realize some of the choices I made and
- 35:47then I realized far too late
- 35:50my father was such a brilliant man for
- 35:53all the terrifying monster II was in
- 35:56many ways I really really enjoyed
- 35:59listening to him because he was no China
- 36:01hand he was an Arabist means all sorts
- 36:04of things and I looked for that sort of
- 36:07man without even realizing it and which
- 36:11is fairly disastrous and I think for all
- 36:15of us yeah what do they say an
- 36:17unexamined life is not worth living so I
- 36:20think we all have to and most of all we
- 36:22need to be trained from a very young age
- 36:24about how we make relationships and why
- 36:27we make relationships not just about sex
- 36:30but they don't teach relationships in
- 36:31schools we met with a domestic violence
- 36:37victim this morning insane even
- 36:40interviewed him for a few hours and I
- 36:43found his first few months of beginning
- 36:48to date this girl very questionable in
- 36:50his choices and as much as I wanted to
- 36:54feel sorry for him and say yes you're a
- 36:58male victim of domestic violence
- 37:01I found I found myself victim blaming
- 37:06which is part of rape culture if you've
- 37:09heard what yeah because I've always been
- 37:11told that I'm victim blaming no he in
- 37:13many cases again it goes back to that
- 37:15thing there are people who are innocent
- 37:18victims of their partner's violence they
- 37:20quite genuinely really fallen for
- 37:23headliner surfer for somebody and then
- 37:25fine my God he's a raving psychopath and
- 37:27you can't pick those out I don't care
- 37:29how practiced you are but the majority
- 37:32are women that I've said who are victims
- 37:35of their own violence and their choices
- 37:36are based from their own childhood
- 37:39now you find an awful lot of men going
- 37:43for narcissistic women she because the
- 37:46man himself has very bad image of
- 37:49himself he's had probably an extremely
- 37:51damaging relationship with his mother
- 37:52and what does he do he goes out and the
- 37:55girl is in the center of the room
- 37:56getting all the attention everybody
- 37:58wants to be with her that's the one
- 38:00you'll pick why did he never asked
- 38:04himself why he does that and it's
- 38:07disastrous he is responsible for his
- 38:11decision of course he is
- 38:12and I don't let people off the hook any
- 38:15more than I let me off the hook you know
- 38:18we we are the choices we make bring
- 38:22consequences into our lives and the
- 38:24tragedy is when people don't even think
- 38:26that they actually get involved with a
- 38:29dangerous violent person and I look at
- 38:31them and say and you two chose to have
- 38:33children with him what have you done to
- 38:35your children you've landed them in this
- 38:38situation and they look at you because
- 38:41I've never even thought that they have a
- 38:42responsibility of choosing a parent who
- 38:46is not going to be dangerous to the
- 38:48child see I come from time for that
- 38:53things wasn't right families knew each
- 38:56other and I remember the first man I was
- 38:59really attracted to miss Williams was
- 39:01sitting with because we used to be
- 39:02chaperoned in my day you didn't go out
- 39:04on dates or any of that sort of thing
- 39:05until you about 102 but whoever has
- 39:08sitting there and I was dancing with
- 39:10this very divine young man she called me
- 39:12over and she said you're never dancing
- 39:14with him again Aaron and I said well why
- 39:16not and she said bad blood because she
- 39:20knew family and actually she turned out
- 39:23to be right but families didn't know
- 39:25each other you know and people and
- 39:29in a sense you know it wasn't the Asian
- 39:32idea of an arranged marriage but to an
- 39:34extent it was arranged because and
- 39:38actually at my in my time if it was a
- 39:40professional man marrying a woman she
- 39:44had to come and meet the people that he
- 39:46was working for yeah but it was it was
- 39:50far more regulated than it is now
- 39:52because it the fact and the truth is you
- 39:54don't just get involved with a man he
- 39:58gets them you get him involved and you
- 40:00get involved with his family he gets
- 40:02involved with your family and then what
- 40:04can happen to so many families is if he
- 40:06turns out to be extremely violent and
- 40:08dangerous you decimate your family how
- 40:12many mothers you know fathers are beside
- 40:14themselves knowing that their children
- 40:16are being harmed and their grandchildren
- 40:19nobody even considers them they don't
- 40:21have any rights well yeah I do find
- 40:26myself questioning the choices of some
- 40:30of these victims they're not victims you
- 40:34have to tell me you can't tell them that
- 40:35I'd tell them that I'd simply say stop
- 40:36it no it's your choice in your
- 40:39consequence and I'm certainly the
- 40:44suffice but I won't let them tell me
- 40:46that they're victims because they're not
- 40:49anyone that would with them women
- 40:51because they would come in seeing
- 40:53themselves as victims you know he did
- 40:55this he did that he did that and then I
- 40:58just said him and you what was your part
- 41:02because you see what I knew from the
- 41:04beginning like most domestic violence
- 41:06consensual both are involved sometimes
- 41:09ones the perpetrator at the other place
- 41:11the victim then it crosses over it's not
- 41:14it's not as though it's just all men or
- 41:16all women it's both and occasionally
- 41:19innocent victims very innocent but
- 41:23they're the ones that are going to be
- 41:25all right because they're still there
- 41:27they're they're whole most of them have
- 41:29come from good warm loving families and
- 41:31they can move on the people who get so
- 41:33incredibly damaged and don't see
- 41:35themselves as anything other than
- 41:36victims are those that have been there
- 41:38from their whole lives that's why it was
- 41:41important when I did questionnaires to
- 41:43look at three generations because you
- 41:46could see where it was coming from have
- 41:51you heard in the movie monster with
- 41:53Charlize Theron it was based off a true
- 41:56story but it was a serial killer who was
- 42:01a prostitute
- 42:02and she was a woman and she was abused
- 42:07and raped and held at gunpoint and you
- 42:11know put through everything in her line
- 42:13of work and she ended up turning on her
- 42:17clients and going on that killing spree
- 42:21and when I watched the film I found
- 42:27myself feeling like she's a victim of
- 42:31her circumstances and I didn't see her
- 42:35as this murderer I saw her as a victim
- 42:39of her serve circumstances and I wish I
- 42:43looked at more men that way because
- 42:45these violent men probably were abused
- 42:47yeah I see them both that way actually
- 42:51I'm I don't condone half of murdering
- 42:56men I don't think but I can I can I can
- 43:00absolutely understand I mean I've always
- 43:02tried to explain that especially my
- 43:05childhood I tried to kill my father
- 43:07quite seriously and it's like once you
- 43:09get to that was a point as a child I was
- 43:13a teenager it's like being a piece of
- 43:15cloth of elastic that's being pulled you
- 43:18know when you put it really really tight
- 43:20and then when you let it go it's all
- 43:22it's all bendy it's no longer that's
- 43:25exactly what happens and you get pushed
- 43:27to work it it essentially you never you
- 43:32in a sense also my mother set it up and
- 43:37I realized that it much later I realized
- 43:40that her message to me was you know he
- 43:44is so dreadful he's going to
- 43:46ask me for sex and it's your job to stop
- 43:48him because he's been abroad and he's
- 43:49just come home and I I'm that's why it's
- 43:53so incredibly complicated and yes in
- 43:57that particular film you feel a huge
- 43:59amount of compassion for her but if you
- 44:02knew we had a very famous case there's
- 44:05called niels he strangled and chopped
- 44:12off an eight and what for a lot of young
- 44:14homosexuals and he's obviously in prison
- 44:17for the rest of his life but if you knew
- 44:19the background of his in totally
- 44:21incestuous mother he was in her bed I
- 44:24found out from the supporters who he was
- 44:2715 and a half and then she took a lover
- 44:30and she wanted to share the bed with him
- 44:32and with the loved one and that
- 44:34precipitated a massive breakdown and
- 44:37that's why he eventually went for
- 44:41destroying all these young men and it's
- 44:45never come out the truth of why he did
- 44:46it they know how he did it but they
- 44:48don't know why it's a cycle yeah as they
- 44:54talk about the cycle of poverty cycle of
- 44:56deprivation there's the cycle of
- 44:58violence and all of it tends to go
- 45:00together
- 45:00not that this kind of very very
- 45:03significant violence can happen right
- 45:05away to cross across everywhere I mean
- 45:09it could be certainly in the world
- 45:10family it could be princess die because
- 45:13her father was extremely violent yeah it
- 45:17did it knows no boundaries so what I'm
- 45:23gathering there correct me if I'm wrong
- 45:25most abusers and violent people have
- 45:30some kind of history in their past their
- 45:32childhood actually personally all but
- 45:36not all people who were abused as
- 45:38children become absolute murderers or
- 45:41rapists no
- 45:42and because for so many there are other
- 45:45factors for instance I've often thought
- 45:48in the in the upper middle-class
- 45:51families they have nannies often who are
- 45:54surrogate mothers however bad the mother
- 45:55is they have an option and boarding
- 45:58school I went to hoarding school from
- 45:59the age of 9 to 16 saved me because I
- 46:04didn't have to live with them see that's
- 46:06another out the wealthy people have the
- 46:08children can get away make look at other
- 46:11models see other things happening and
- 46:14[Music]
- 46:15there are other ways of people
- 46:19transcending the violence no the problem
- 46:22is that too many repeat the pattern
- 46:29[Music]
- 46:35[Music]
