Inviting a civil discussion here, no trolls please.
This the the most factual feminist presentation I’ve seen so far.

“Men do hard jobs so they’re not privileged” - she’s comparing women lawyers to male construction workers, but the wives or sisters of those construction workers are likely not lawyers, they’re working in other hard jobs probably in services.
“Women excel in education” yes in lower grades where wages are lower as public school have been cut and the teaching profession has been devalued. Every time there is a teacher’s strike, op-Ed’s complain... “well I though these women cared about children, that’s why they want to go into education”. Sexism is at play in the teaching profession as it has been transformed into glorified daycare. The underlying assumption is that women “nurture” while men “educate”.
Other claims in the video aren’t even backed up.

Btw this entire assumption that Russia linked outlets are propaganda is FALSE. Remember that post 9/11 the American media was the propaganda machine spouting weapons of mass destruction, war mongering and anti Saddam sentiment. We all know how that played out. Now scroll back and look for the coverage videos from channels like RT and AJ and you’ll see how true and non-propagandist they were.
This entire 2016 story of Russian election interference is a similar case where an external enemy has been propped up to cover the failure of the media narrative in the US (CNN, MSNBC etc). Of course I’m not denying that hackers exist, but they’ve existed for the last decade. Nothing too sinister in their impact in 2016. Before that it was the Chinese hackers that were blamed for various failures. It’s a blame game, you’ve gotta look at the entire picture to understand their motives. Even Fox is less authentic to be honest. Remember how NBC faked the entire Michael Brown story to push white oppressor narrative when the black guy was clearly the aggressor?
The 2016 efforts were not strictly limited to hacking, there was a large disinformation campaign at work and that is (along with the email hacks etc) why Russia is getting pointed at. The US itself has some huge issues and Trump can’t be wholly foisted on Russia, they’re not entirely responsible for him. But they did play a role and for a foreign adversary to tip the scales of US democracy is not ok.
I’m not even gonna touch your claim that RT is “non-propagandist”.
