Listen "Third Wave Riptide"
Episode Synopsis
If patriarchy is our default system - radical feminism is the only system of thinking and action that challenges the status quo of male domination. The only analysis that looks at our current world from women’s point of view and with women's interest in mind.
And radical feminists - the women who speak, write and shape feminist thought, who are public and loud, are by definition brave people, because they are going against a powerful world order that definitely doesn't want to have its power challenged. A world order that punishes women who make too much noise.
If those radical feminists are deliberately silenced, chased out of their jobs and institutions, de-platformed, even chased out of their countries, or threatened with violence - like this episode’s guest, founder of Feminist Current, Meghan Murphy was - we are silencing the only people who can explain to the rest of us what patriarchy is up to.
