1 hour, 10 minutes long. Link to audio file. Link directly to this episode.
We put forward that femininity cannot just be assessed at the symbolic level of aesthetics and beauty practices, but requires a social-relations analysis as the infantilisation of women in service of patriarchy. We also discuss in the final third of the episode how the far-Left has a tradition of working with the rightwing, taking every available platform, and that activists should be defined by their political work, rather than self-declared political identity.
