Hi everybody, Tom Woods here.

I'm very glad to be joined today by Joanna Williams, who is the author of the brand new book

Women versus Feminism, Why We All Need Liberating from the Gender Wars.

And this is not another one of these content-free, angry polemics of the sort we encounter, frankly, on both sides of this

kind of debate from time to time. It's much more, well, restrained in its rhetoric and in its

presentation, but its argument is

no less compelling for all that. Joanna Williams is an author, commentator, and the education

editor at Spiked. She is the author of Academic Freedom in an Age of Conformity, as well as

consuming higher education, why learning can't be bought.

Joanna, welcome to the show.

Thank you very much for having me.

In reading your book, I was struck by the tone.

I expected in a book like this to be hit over the head with a brutal polemic.

And a polemic, no doubt, I would have cheered. But instead,

what I encountered is a fairly measured and reasonable tone. I don't suppose that your opponents or

critics will perceive that quite the way I did, but that it came through quite clearly to me,

and it seems to me like a deliberate move on your part.
