Episode 46: Is the GC Movement the Inheritor of the Second-Wave?
29 minutes long. Link to audio file. Link directly to this episode.
We discuss whether the gender critical movement is the inheritor of the second-wave feminist movement, or in fact perhaps the inheritor of the radical feminist tradition itself? Hannah makes an argument for the latter, Jen argues for the former. Does being gender critical mean simply being critical of Transgenderism, or does it require interrogating gender roles and gender as an ideology (a set of ideas and practices that reinforce one another) as a whole? Can someone be a conservative or traditionalist and still be considered part of the GC movement? And in what sense can gender norms and gender conformity be understood within a radical feminist framework when there has never been a fully developed and fleshed out radical feminist theoretical model of it?
