Synopsis
On April 30, 1971, an open forum on women's equality and the women's liberation movement took place in New York. Four panellists, representing different currents of second-wave feminism, made their contributions drawing on their findings of biology, sociology, philosophy, and their own personal experiences, while being countered on stage by one man – a journalist and writer Norman Mailer, presenting a model example of condescending mansplaining. The panelists' sense of humor and their intellectual and argumentative superiority easily won the audience's affection in the debate on issues that remain relevant today. A man from the audience: „I really don’t know what women are asking for. Now suppose I wanted to give it to them.“ Germaine Greer: „Listen, you may as well relax because whatever it is they’re asking for, honey, it’s not for you.“ (From the film.)
