Summary
Tai Lee joins Breht to lay out a feminist analysis of modern fascism and to assert the importance of keeping a robust proletarian feminism at the center of our socialist politics.
Topics discussed include: the overturning of Roe, theocratic fascism on the American Right, the intensification of LGBTQ hate on the American Right, chauvanists and bigots pretending to be on the Left, the Manosphere and Andrew Tate, the profound insecurity behind the performance of hyper-masculinity, violent misogyny and its relationship to mass shootings, and much, much more!

| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to RevLeft Radio. On today's episode I have back on the |
| 0:10.2 | show my friend and comrade Ty Lee to talk about basically the psychological, sexual, |
| 0:17.2 | and gendered politics of fascism. And I think this is an incredibly important and timely |
| 0:22.8 | episode for a multitude of reasons. We see the rise of the manosphere online. We see the |
| 0:28.4 | overturning of row and with the dobs decision. We see this relentless new resurging attack on the |
| 0:34.9 | LGBTQ community broadly and even the declarations on the right about rolling back even things that |
| 0:42.3 | we took for granted like contraception, same sex marriage or mixed race marriage is even seemingly |
| 0:48.0 | on the table now. So to help make sense of this you know backward reactionary wave that we're all |
| 0:54.9 | experiencing and the connections between misogynistic anti-feminist movements on the far right and |
| 1:01.1 | anti-LGBTQ movements on the far right. I think it's really important to understand these connections |
| 1:06.7 | and what's happening and this is precisely the conversation that tries as best as we can to deal |
| 1:11.2 | with some of the underlying forces promoting these sorts of formations and ideological approaches |
| 1:17.5 | at this time. And a few guests are as insightful when it comes to this stuff as Ty and so I'm very |
| 1:23.3 | excited to share this with you. And as always if you like what we do here at RevLeft Radio if you |
| 1:27.9 | find it valuable you know you can share the episode with friends or families or you can go above |

| 1:59.5 | conversation with Ty Lee on the psychosexual and gendered politics of fascism. |
| 2:06.4 | I'm Ty Lee. I've been on when was that? I guess a couple of months ago to talk about feminism |
