Y'all in Men's Liberation are posting my favorite YTubers. oliSUNvia is great.

I really loved her video on the notion of love in our society, and it brought up some important points about how love is commoditized, and how we often have unrealistic expectations for it.

Looking forward to watching this when I have time.

Great script, learned a new word "carceral feminism". also a new youtuber I now follow, thanks for that!

It's a longer one. I've been contemplating putting runtimes in the title just so people know what they're getting into.
-
Becauseany of the bigger names started doing longer and longer videos this one actually felt short in comparison.
And +1 on the runtimes
-
I'd appreciate the runtime hints since depending on what I'm doing I won't have more than 10 minutes at a time

So glad I got around to watching it - was perfect during cooking.
I really resonated with the perspective of how supporting the prison system or judicial system is fundamentally in support of a status quo and a way of not changing inherent system issues and problems like wellfare, housing, immigration statuses, brutal policing. Saying that getting an abuser arrested is **always ** the right choice in this carceral feminist perspective is I think harmful as Olisunvia points out. I also really appreciated how she touched upon the topic that calls for transformative or restorative justice don't mean that victims are meant to always forgive abusers or even use the current systems.
Generally the attitude to hold an either/and perspective of acknowledging that someone is an abuser and has done harm while still also acknowledging that they themselves can be a victim and symptoms of the system is very valuable to have I think. I don't think it's a perspective we can always hold but I think it's incredibly constructive in making sense of the social realities we live in.
Thanks for sharing the video - I had only seen her before during a F.D Signifier video and never checked her out individually, but I like her very articulate way of framing the discourse.
