bell hooks speaks at a conference on masculinity and feminism from 1990, where she references her fourth book, Yearning, as well as different depictions of masculinity in popular culture, especially television and film. Specific topics hooks addresses are that all women and men long to be loved and long to be free, socialization of black males versus white males, and how the media and popular culture perpetuates gender stereotypes. bell hooks concludes by saying the feminist transformation can heal men by deflecting focus on power and moving the focus to pain. Following her lecture are quick speeches and by Patricia Merchant, an Episcopal priest, John McDonald, founder of a Canadian AIDS support group, and Claude Franklin, a professor of sociology at Ohio State.
