Summary

Mary Harrington, self-described "reactionary feminist" and author of Feminism Against Progress, joins us to discuss how the liberal feminist narrative is actively degrading life for all but the wealthiest women, how we can embrace certain feminist values without abandoning the entire ideology, and how progressive ideology embraces the idea of "normophobia", or fear of the normal, to the detriment of society. - - - Today’s Sponsor: Beam - Get 40% off for a limited time!
