Why I #39;m No Longer a Feminist
Talking this afternoon on why I no longer refer to myself as a feminist (as of 2009 approximately) and what past involvement in the feminist movement ultimately taught me about it. The quote referenced came from Emily Bronte: "The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don #39;t turn against him; they crush those beneath them." Erich Fromm, a 20-century German psychoanalyst, had much to say about freedom and destructiveness, spanning several books, and a short synopsis of his theories and writings can be found here: webspace.ship.edu I also referenced the Atheism+ forums as providing examples of ludicrous censorship upheld by the radical feminist community. Google it if you feel so inclined.From:ByeniaViews:6 1ratingsTime:13:28More inPeople Blogs

So this film reflects my feeling since I left Iran, in other words it is a very personal piece of art." euronews: During the Cannes Film Festival I interviewed your colleague Asghar Farhadi, he said there is a problem of censorship, not censorship from the authorities, but a self censorship, within the film community. Bahman Ghobadi: "What I always say about censorship is that we have become worse than the state, it is automatic, yet we don #39;t want censorship, but the constant pressure on us by the regime forces you into it. One becomes like a convict on death row. They treat you so badly that you decide to kill yourself. Iran is like a condemned man who has been shot but the bullet missed the heart, Iran is seriously injured, we must help this country rise again." euronews: "Did you leave Iran with a heavy heart?"
