Hank Azaria, Kevin Bacon and Bryan Cranston on fatherhood

Celebrity dads including Kevin Bacon, Bryan Cranston and Mike Myers open up to Hank Azaria as he quizzes them about fatherhood in this candid documentary series.

It’s not often you’ll see Hollywood personalities speaking so openly and honestly about such an intimate subject, but Hank ‘s frank questioning encourages his friends to speak from the heart.

Hank is best known for his work on The Simpsons. He provides the voices for Moe, Apu, Chief Wiggum and Comic Book Guy.

Feminism 2.0

She needs to remove the label “feminism” and just call it something else. The word feminism has been too tainted and still is associated with people who only care about women. It has very little if anything to do with equality. If it did, feminism would do their best with updating domestic relations law and reforming family courts all across America.

And what is the deal with men needing to be civilized? That needs further explanation:

We hear it all the time: “America is patriarchal!”, “American women are oppressed!”. Well, a lifelong feminist and former National Organization for Women member, Tammy Bruce, is tired of hearing it–and she has a solution laid out in our newest video: Feminism 2.0. One that tells women that they should be proud to act feminine. One that tells them that simply copying men and masculine traits is actually demeaning to women. One that honors all responsible choices, including becoming a wife and mother.
