- Welcome back to Venus Rising, now available on Spotify, iTunes, and Podomatic.
Today I have the pleasure of having freelance writer and journalist, Meghan Murphy on the show. Meghan has a Master's degree in the department of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at Simon Fraser University, and has been writing about feminism since 2010.
Known for going against the grain, she was the first to publish a critique of Slutwalk, back in 2011, and was one of the only popular feminist bloggers to publicly articulate both a radical feminist and socialist position against the sex industry. Meghan’s critiques of third wave feminism, burlesque, self-objectification in selfies, gender identity politics, and choice feminism have brought both acclaim and attacks, but most of all recognition as a writer who isn’t afraid to say something different, despite what progressive and mainstream media deem to be the party line.
Meghan has spoken around the world about the issue of gender identity legislation and women’s rights, including at the Canadian Senate and Scottish Parliament. Meghan was also featured in our documentary film Trans mission: What’s the Rush to Reassign Gender.
Most recently, Meghan is the is the founder and editor of Feminist Current, Canada's leading feminist website where you can find a unique perspective on gender, women's rights, and many other issues that are often underrepresented or misrepresented by mainstream, progressive, and feminist media sources.
Currently, Meghan is working on a book project of her own, which takes a critical look at third wave feminism. Today we talk with Meghan about her work and her views related to trans ideology and feminism.
thank you to you both from new zealand. things are very grim here. you give me hope.
Meghan Murphy and Jordan Peterson fought Bill C-16. They inspired me. They mark my awakening. Two such unlikely bed fellows. They both have my utmost respect, loyalty and admiration. THANK YOU MEGHAN. You are a good girl. Your ancestors must be pleased. They done good.
I only wish I had awakened back in 2017 when Meghan and Peterson were fighting that common fight....
@@vivienneb6199 ok. I see my opinion is unacceptable to you. I loved watching the following and I can tell you this brings me hope and I am with all the speakers. If J. Peterson had spoken I'd have been delighted- I am starved for hope, not you? ua-cam.com/video/z4XAoVbHwAs/v-deo.html
I attended the protest against the fetish teacher and the TQIA agenda in the canadian curriculum. The teacher is still employed at Oakville Trafalgar High School.
As you mention Meghan about what you wear in the workplace, it reminded me of something I experienced on returning to the workplace here in the UK, around year 2000. It was in an office/call centre, no direct contact with customers, “smart casual” was code, our own clothes & I wore combat style trousers & a top. They weren’t real combat trousers, but had those kind of big pockets. The male team leader called me to one side & said “ they weren’t appropriate office/work wear😢😮
I'm so glad I didn't grow up during this time.
I would've been told I was meant to be a transman if I grew up during these times.
1) I wanted to be a boy (not "felt like" I was one "trapped" inside of a female body), because I perceived them to have life easier (I still kinda do lol)
2) I wasn't into make up or dresses (still not), and
3) preferred "rough and tumble" play (still do), and
4) it was annoying when my aunts would try to put me in dresses or say I needed to put on a "little make up" to "present myself" when going out (I still get that), and
5) I observed that boys were just left alone.
I would walk around w/o my shirt (before my breasts grew in) and sprayed my mom's perfume on but called it "cologne"....I was disappointed initially, when my breasts started to grow, and of course, I HATED my period (and still do, like all normal women because it's not a pleasant experience).
Everything about being a man just seemed/seems easier. I'm more sympathetic to transmen than transwomen because why wouldn't a woman want to have a seemingly easier life? (hmmm is that "internalized misogyny"? LOLOLOL).
But I grew up to accept I'm a heterosexual plain jane tom girl, and I would never do anything to "become a man". I would love to have a half hysterectomy so I don't get my period anymore, I don't plan on having any kids. Imagine if I gave a surgeon that as my reason he/she would refuse to do my surgery lest I "change my mind", but I bet if I said the reason was "gender dysphoria" they would gladly give me the surgery. SMDH LOL
I’m a guy and let me tell you. Many guys think women have it easier. So the fact that men think women have it easier and Vice versa leads me to believe we all have different challenges that are hard to directly compare. And sometimes you only think about the positives that come with being one gender because you are thinking from the perspective of your challenges that you think are easier or gone completely with the other gender. What you fail to realize is the different challenges that you will be taking on that can only truly be realized when you switch genders…(which is impossible)
Ratio.
Matt Walsh? Feminist? Who knew?
