Sex : the male ego / by Dr. Albert E. Ross (Episode 2 of 7) 13293_P01_02
KPFK, January 11, 1978
Scope and Contents
In his second lecture in the series, Dr. Al Ross explores our attitudes toward sex and sexuality. Sex is learned from birth
from our parents' attitudes towards their sex and humanness which can't be understood as separate entities. The problem is
that sex problems are all personality problems, not "technique" problems. We can't make a commitment to another unless we
have one to ourselves, and where there is love and spirituality, there can be no sex problems. In the question-answer period
after the break (on reel 2), Dr. Ross answers questions and gives some of his background. "Why do men use women as objects
in the 'real world'?" "Is his feeling of God and spirituality similar to Buber's 'I and Thou'?" Ross further enlarges on his
conception of the "psychic child" - an entity which grows, created by interaction between a man and woman, which contains
parts of both of them. Produced by Roy E. Tuckman. Outro says that lecture is also available through UCLA Extension. Contains
sensitive language. Previously cataloged as KZ0452A.

KPFK, March 8, 1977
Scope and Contents
This is the third episode "Sexuality, violence, and aggression" in a four part series of lectures by Dr. Carl Faber entitled
"Woman as slave." This episode is in two parts. Part one is Faber's lecture on sexuality, violence, and aggression, given
in January 1977. Dr. Carl Faber, a heterosexual monogamist, lectures on how, with awareness, women may get sexually spaced
out, allowing sex with no closeness some feel is "mature." They may be turned off completely and may become sexually involved
with a person they trust: a woman. Faber goes on to suggest that when a woman gets in touch with how men have treated her,
she experiences a violent murderous homicidal rage without end. In the end, she can learn physical self-protection and respect.
In part two Dr. Faber is interviewed by Helene Rosenbluth and Roy Tuckman, discussing the possibilities for a good male/female
relationship; refining one's individuality and aloneness; dignity, truth, pride, and purity of experience as motivation and
reward for the suffering and loneliness; the lack of awareness of sexist language in college; maturity. This part should follow
lecture #3. The end introduces lecture #4, so the announcer should indicated when that lecture will be broadcast. Produced

The Crippled Person / lecture and interview with Dr. Carl Faber (Episode 1 of 4) 28641_P01_03
KPFK, March 8, 1977
Scope and Contents
This is the first episode "The Crippled Person" in a four part series of lectures by Dr. Carl Faber entitled "Woman as slave."
This episode is in three parts. In part one, Dr. Faber is interviewed prior to KPFK's presentation of the first lecture by
Helene Rosenbluth, a young lesbian feminist and Roy Tuckman, male feminist, about what he means to say in the lecture series,
his motivations, audience reactions, the situation of a man talking to women about women, his data sources, and male versus
female feeling experience. Part two is the lecture portion of this episode, Dr. Faber's "The Crippled Person," given in January
1977. In this lecture, Faber says men can't define women's roles and that psychology is piggish. The deal with men has been
for women to be crippled, allowed various thoughts and roles and disallowed others. The essence of woman's experience of self
is hurt and impotence, which may overwhelm her entire life. At the same time, her slave master man leans on her for self respect
and love, which makes her hate him more. The essential problem: women are ripped off. Part three is the second interview of
Dr. Faber by Rosenbluth and Tuckman about how men can avoid abusing women and being sexist; women working alone versus women
in a group; coupleism versus groupism; definitions of vulnerability; ego defense; and eastern versus western philosophical
points of view. Instructions given "This interview should be played right after lecture #1 (Part 2). There is an introduction
to lecture #2 at the end, so the announcer should indicated when lecture #2 will be broadcast." Interviews with Dr. Faber
were recorded in March 1977. Program produced by Roy Tuckman.

the role of women combine into various ways: that people should be educated for future occupations with the idea that women's
occupations may be various; that women should be offered the whole spectrum of educational possibilities to prepare them for
the whole spectrum of occupational opportunities; that a woman be exposed to the whole sweep of human knowledge so that she
may be prepared to be a wife and mother; and that women's education should be very specific and aimed solely at integrating
women into the domestic milieu.

Nancy Reeves, attorney, lecturer, and writer tests the traditional approach to the status of women "down through the ages
and up to the minute." This episode examines external (male) counseling (of women). Reeves reads a series of quotations illustrating
the traditional approach to the status of women, resulting in the conclusion that woman is primarily wife and mother, that
the private is her exclusive sphere, that the public world of work and politics belongs to man, that rivalry with man in these
pursuits is unnatural and dangerous, that woman cannot successfully enter the intellectual realm because her genius is affective,
that any knowledge she might have should derive intuitively, and that it is her destiny to be nurturing and passive. Reeves
then proposes to evaluate the arguments advancing this model by the criteria of logic, by a comparison with the patterns of
the past, and by an examination of other contemporary societies. Part One contains the examination through logic.

of the past, and the third method - the cross-cultural - to learn whether the traditional model obtains in other living societies.

Scope and Contents
Feminist historian and co-editor of "The new woman's survival catalog," Susan Rennie talks about the suffragist movement with
Helene Rosenbluth and Annette Hunt. Rennie discusses the early feminists, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others...their
efforts and accomplishments from 1848 to 1919. She speaks about the general opposition from the Church, and the linking of
the feminists with the Temperance Movement. (Money was poured into the coffers of the opposition by liquor manufacturers for
fear the women would vote Temperance.) Rennie claims the "abolitionists sold women out," first using their hard efforts and
then excluding them from victory - only male Negroes were granted freedom. The tape ends with a discussion of the factions
within the movement, the thirty-year pause in the struggle, and the backlash of the middle class in the popularization of
Freud, which defined a woman's search of a wider identity as penis envy, and those who refused to accept predominating roles
as castrating females. Produced by Helene Rosenbluth, Annette Hunt, and Mari Elena Vandevier.

Originally titled "Woman Fibbers." A funny and fast-moving collage of songs, poetry and prose readings built around an interview
with feminist playwright Megan Terry, to expose the myth that women are deceitful and need a man to reveal them to themselves.

and the aura of madness. Antoinette Bower reads "The Neutral Man" by surrealist painter and writer Leonora Carrington. Roscoe
Lee Brown plays Jarry's Ubu, and reads poems by Wallace Stevens and Bea Lillie. Program begins with a reading of Brecht and
a discussion of his work. Songs include "Surabaya Johnny" sung by Lotte Lenya and "You can leave your hat on" by Randy Newman.
Interview with Megan Terry begins at 00:11:00, interviewed in New York City in December 1973. "Women fibbers" was produced,
written, and directed by Claire Spark for Pacifica Radio with the partial support of a grant from the National Endowment for
the Arts, a federal agency. End credits: We've heard the voices of Lotte Lenya, David McCann, John Willett, Roscoe Lee Browne,

Humanity is breeding itself into extinction, Baird asserts, and have not addressed the fundamental cause: human sexuality.
The population crisis of India and China will soon spread to the entire world, he continues, which proves that the presence
or absence of birth control does not contribute to promiscuity. The problem of attaining an abortion in the United States,
Baird points out, leads to thousands of deaths. The more functional form of birth control, therefore, is prevention of pregnancy
through IUD's, the pill, or prophylactics. Baird also attacks the double sexual standards in society for young men and young
women.

WBAI, October 21, 1981
Scope and Contents
Interview with poet and author Tillie Olsen on her book, Silences, produced by Kathy Ann Kersey. The interview begins with
Olsen speaking about her book and the circumstances for women writers. She asserts how much class impacts the life of writers.
Her book, Silences describes those writers who are recognizable and those who are unknown. The interviewer (whose name is
not known) presents questions about the recent Writer's Congress and how she came to this theme. Olsen describes how she arrived
at the theme out of her own life. She herself had four children and was the sole provider for her family. She tells how she
believes a writer's achievements are more often about circumstance rather than their gift as a writer. She argued with the
Writers Congress' assertion that there is no working class literature because there is no working class intelligentsia. Olsen
speaks about her own childhood and how writers often accept the interpretation of others instead of their own experience.
She describes the agony of being a part-time writer and how the writer is then fragmented.

as example). Kathleen says reason BP members involved in holdups is due to their need for support. She sees struggle in terms
of rich vs. poor class going on mainly underground. Need is to mobilize the people against the power structure "the pigs".
Kathleen, at prompting of Crocker, mentions harassment by FBI upon arrival at the airport in U.S. 53:00 takes phone calls.
Concern is what will happen to the struggle after Vietnam War ends and with U.S., China partnering going on under Nixon. Cleaver
attacks Nixon as the "biggest oppressor". She focuses on needs of "the people" as basis for the struggle. Problem is the capitalistic
system has been developed into the extreme Imperialist, fascist system that is leading to "civil war". BPP supports the Weatherman
movement she tells one caller. She tells another about the concern for political prisoners like the "L.A. 13" and Geronimo
[Pratt] trial, Landon and Rory trial, mentions others. She also talks of the "Caro" town situation (Blacks vs. whites shooting
it out).

Interview with Ellen DuBois, Associate Professor of History and American Studies at SUNY Buffalo, on her new book entitled
"Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony: correspondence, writings, speeches." DuBois discusses the origins of feminism in
England with Mary Wollstonecraft and Frances Wright. While the US feminist movement in the 1920's fought for education for
women and sexual equality, DuBois notes that women in the 1830s were very militant. Both Stanton and Anthony's families were
abolitionists and radical Quakers. Stanton, in 1848, helped organize the first women's rights movement, and Anthony was involved
in the temperance movement. DuBois also notes the conflict between women's rights and freedom and the right to vote; also,
the fight for court reforms, closing of prisons, and day care. Also contains readings of some of Stanton and Anthony's speeches.

with the station, and because they were subpoenaed by the House on Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Most importantly,
however, was that the recordings very much upset her family in Tuscaloosa. Now that the family has "survived," she wanted
to re-broadcast the 1965 series for comparison with her new series (upcoming in September 1970, according to folio) entitled
"You must go home: 1970." (Archive #BC2793 see here).

Bonnie Bellow interviews Meg Katz of "Stop E.R.A.", one of the groups opposed to the passage of New York's Equal Rights Amendment.
Katz details how she thinks an amendment would hurt women, make them responsible for their husband's mistakes and not give
them legal backup if they need it. She names groups that she believes have funded the pro-E.R.A. movement. Passage of the
E.R.A. will benefit "big business" by taking away legal protections for women's labor. Women have their legal protections
and work rights now. Don't need to change the State Constitution, need legislation to correct any problems. The ERA will break
up a family. NOW women shout they will restructure society, we don't need the family restructured. Children need fathers and
mothers and their training. [please see label for more information] Very lively discussion.

with publishing and promoting the book, and the kind of changes it has made in her life. This program was originally broadcast

On April 5 and 6, 1975, the New School chapter of the Union of Radical Political Economists hosted a conference on Marxian
Approaches to History. This recording consists of the formal presentations given during a session on the capitalist function

Feminism" about the domestic reform movement of the early 19th century which sought to cushion the shock of industrialization
and nuclearization of American families with a cult of conservative domesticity. As opposed to the 1700's, when they often
worked alongside their men, 19th century women were relegated to the unpaid caste of housewives. The second speaker, Silvia
Federici, sees the nuclear family as a factory for capitalism. She calls for women to undermine this exploitative system by
demanding wages for work in the home.

WBAI, 1975-uu-uu
Scope and Contents
Lecturing before a class at the National Organization for Women (NOW) offices in New York, Diane Feeley discusses the role
of women in Russian history. She relates the early oppression of women in old Russia, when women were nothing more than chattels
to their husbands. She then describes the major feminist reforms of the early 1900's: women played a major role in the 1917
Revolution, and afterwards, helped bring about social change. However, the reforms were all obliterated with the ascension
of Stalin to power in the 1930's. In modern-day Russia, many women are professionals, but as Feeley demonstrates with the
modern Russian novella "A Week Like Any Other", they are still tied down to the drudgery of housework and childcare. Produced
by WBAI.
