Saturday Afternoon: In Praise of White Women

Sept. 22, 2012

Marina Orwell is a video-maker whose work exhibits a fierceness, a boldness, along with a very personal tone. She approaches what she does as the scientist she is. Marina tells of how she “woke up,” the books that helped her, and what her very first videos were about. Other highlights include:

• Her real life story of helping a homeless white man resulted in the video “In Praise of White Men;”
• Her experiences with editing Wikipedia pages;
• Her Youtube channel was flagged and brought down twice – she is currently without one;
• The man/woman divide and what to do about it;
• Real feminism is not Jewish, but comes from good White women (as in the picture);
• How to deal creatively with the role differences between men and women;
• Financial incentives to bring about the kind of society we desire.
