- Feminists for Free Speech presents a new live stream series: Where Are All the Women? A question asked perpetually with regard to the gender identity debate and attack on women's rights and free speech demands to know "Where are all the women?!" We are, after all the ones losing our sex-based rights and sex-segregated spaces. "The women" are, in fact, everywhere, but silenced, censored, banned from social media, and without platforms to speak out. Well, here we are. We are long time feminists who have been banished into political homelessness. We are advocates for free speech, civil liberties, and bodily autonomy, and we will continue speaking out, no matter how much we are bullied, ignored, threatened, silenced, and shouted down.
We are presenting a bi-monthly four-part live stream series beginning on July 6th at 5PM PT/8PM ET.
Our second stream will take place on Wednesday, July 19th at 5PM PT/8PM ET.
Watch all the "Where are all the women?" streams: • Where Are All the Women

Men will not lose everything but women will.. that’s where the women are.
Men have lost so much, they have nothing left to lose. I am a man. I have been silenced --- to a great extent by feminists --- so now I sit on the sidelines with my popcorn and beer, and I watch it all burn down. One only fights if there is a chance of a win.
Men are also losing their identities. This gender movement affects all of us
I grew up with 2 friends, twins, who were raped repeatedly by their father when they were extremely young. This was in the late 80s/early 90s. After the mother got CPS involved he moved out, they divorced, and then he came out as transgender and did a full “transition”. After a while he found one of those pro-pedo therapists and a lawyer who convinced the family court judge that the girls should have to go to therapy with him and have supervised visits. The girls told me the “therapy” was always focused on how they, the child victims, needed to learn to have sympathy for “her” (their rapist father) and understand how hard it was for her to be trans. This went on for years. And that was way back before this whole mainstream trans movement. I lost touch with them after the late 90s, but I think they probably stopped seeing him as soon as they were 18 and had the legal choice to cut ties with their rapist father.
That is fucked!
JFC😱😱😱
Omg. 💔
I had my first child at the height of the "pandie" and my baby was in NICU for a week. That being said, any type of lactation consulting was useless for me because they were all wearing masks, so I couldn't understand anything (they'd make facial movements, like "if your baby is doing this with their mouth" and then make the movement with their face covered...).
I turned to lactation groups on Facebook for help because I struggled SO badly. I was absolutely shocked and appalled that all the FB groups I joined censored gendered language so much. For instance, if you started out a post with "hi ladies!" or "hi mamas!", not only were you publicly shamed, you were forced to change the language as to not insult the... 0.0001% of the women in the group who identified as men? When other women stood up for us sane women within the group, the other women would shame and bully them. I think one of the groups even changed their name from "Breastfeeders..." to "Chestfeeders..." I ended up leaving all of those FB groups because that sort of thing was damaging my mental health.
I then turned to lactation consultants... but was also turned off that every single one of their websites were "gender inclusive" as well. Their websites all had language like "chestfeeding" and things like "men can chestfeed" "we welcome men".
I finally realized I was on my own. So not only was I totally isolated because no one felt comfortable being around me because of the common cold/flu, but I had no help with breastfeeding. I ended up having to exclusively pump for 1.5 years.
That breaks my heart to read. I’m so sorry you were alone when you really needed the help and caring of an experienced woman. The takeover of women’s services has happened here in Australia and I feel very sad for the young women now not being able to access real support. I had a wonderful lactation consultant in the late 90’s with my first child and that needs to be the norm again. This situation needs to be fought!
I am so sorry for you, I know that before the pandemic three of my nieces were helping other women to breastfeed (in their own area, as they don't live close) if they were having problems or just to encourage them because of the benefits for the baby. At that time I didn't know about this shite or I would have broached the subject, not had many family gatherings since and now I'm not sure how it would be taken as two of the three are quite young, so may be more accepting of the ideology. What really baffles me, is if these people are transitioning because they think they are really men born in the wrong body and have genuine gender dysmorphia, why would they want to have a child or breastfeed, surely that would send them apoplectic, so to my mind, there should be no need to change the language for people who would never put themselves in that position, which leads me to the conclusion that these people are just jumping on the new trend bandwagon. Anyway, so sorry you were denied the chance to feed your beautiful baby as you wanted, I hope we get to turn this around rather than having to go underground to secretly provide mothers the help they need without their language being policed and then attacked at what must be the most stressful time of their lives.
I'm sorry that happened to you. It makes me feel so upset and angry. Women find a way, and that's the hope. Just wanted to acknowledge you and I appreciate you sharing your story.
It feels like rebranded misogyny when men's feelings are prioritized over women's needs.
That's really sad. I breastfed my children and the first one was difficult, to put it mildly. I was surprised that such a natural process could be so difficult but what is also natural is for more experienced mothers to help & advise a new mother with the exclusively female understanding of the situation. This has happened down through the ages & only when we are supposed to be so 'enlightened' are we putting the moddlecoddling of attention seeking men in skirts before the welfare, physical & mental of new mums and babies.
They hate you because they cannot be you.
Myself and two other feminists were kicked out of a coffee shop in Halifax, N.S. several years back for talking about the harms of transitioning children. The server overheard us and she started shaking and crying and demanded that we leave. It was ridiculous.
Don't fool yourself, men exhibit these behaviors too if given the chance.
The trouble is, people have been indoctrinated to believe they are truly victims and to see everything through that lens. When they hear someone disagreeing with them, they automatically assume that other person hates them and wants to take away their rights or harm them.
As someone who has genuinely experienced lesbophobia as a young teenager I find it insulting and infuriating. There are some recent polls that show gay acceptance has gone down because of all of this crazy push towards acceptance of pedophilia and taking away parental rights and those are conflated with being a lesbian or gay. 7% in a year in one of them. That's huge and alarming.
WOW
@catherinemaclean4 shocking …
The reality is that when your activists are small in number to get traction you need to acquire allies. Even if they only agree with you on the one issue and you're opposed on most others. But in the world of Identity politics you probably don't even have the space to do that as feminists like yourself allied with conservative religious for example probably will damn you even more in the eyes of observers.I support you 100 %on the importance of free speech and you should definitely deserve to get more supporters and allies across the wider social/political spectrum. Wishing you all well.
Australia has an American “e-safety commissioner” ensuring that women here cannot speak. She’s ex Washington … their goal is that every nation silence women.
100%.
Coming from the viewpoint of 80s feminist lesbian, you don't ask for fairness, you make your own way. Whatever it takes. The women who started MichFest and Yosemite Women's Music Festival just made a space, without an internet. We know how to use a telephone tree and zines and 2 page printed out newspapers mailed to our subscribers. Go back to old tech and abandon the AITechAGP shit. The Post Office would love a boost.
Alas, one cannot reach many nor can one currently make a living that way... Funding a paper magazine or newspaper is practically impossible nowadays... Maybe someday things will change
Yes! It feels impossible with the takeover of tech, but I share your vision of a brighter future if we break away from it. We need to go back to doing more in person, it will benefit us in countless ways. Tech is going to be used more and more for censorship, propaganda, control, and interacting via social media will never be what real life interaction is. The Internet has its benefits, but I'm not sure the costs haven't been greater.
On one hand, old tech is great, but on the other hand, a phone tree, a zine, who do you hope to reach with those?
I attended the Michigan Womyn's Festival in 1996, '98, & 2000. It was a really special, unique experience each time and it really helped me spiritually. A few years back, I looked up the festival online and was sad to see it had been discontinued. I had read online that trans women had consistently tried to infiltrate the festival. I didn't know one of those people had murdered a couple until I watched this video. Kinda tells you all you need to know about the infiltration. I'm really glad the festival ran as long as it did because it was a special kind of unique energy. It would not have been the same had trans women be permitted to attend. (Although I'm sure some may have incognito.) Kudos to the organizer of the Michigan Womyn's Festival. She was really dedicated.
Thank you Meghan, Mary Lou and Isabella. You’ve inspired me again. I’ve been in such a slump since KJK was here in Melbourne in March and the trashing we got. I mean, if that event wasn’t illustrative of where are all the women… we have been here all along and are vilified by our so called leaders, threatened with ostracisation and job loss, we are treated like crazy tinfoil hat wearers and only now the conservative men are standing up, and are quite often continuing with the dismissive attitudes towards us, and make themselves out as our saviours. It’s infuriating and we have every right to be angry and bitter. That said, I do appreciate them speaking up and getting the message out at all - we have to get this gender nonsense stopped but I will not pretend women have done nothing thus far. The fools happy to hand away our rights need to listen to all sides and make up their own minds instead of kow towing to group think.
Looking forward to your next instalment.
People aren't listening to you BECAUSE you're angry and bitter.
This is why I’m a loner now days I just want peace and no drama so I avoid becoming to familiar with anybody incase some weirdo accuses me of being normal and trying to ruin my life.
50:52 There’s a well-known homebirth midwife in Philly who has non-binaried her kid and doesn’t say women anymore. It absolutely baffles me. It’s so sad that the profession that is “with women,” has abandoned and sold out women. Absolutely despicable.
I would like to volunteer as security if you have an event in Vancouver.
Really admire all three of these women fighting for women. Thank you Meghan! ❤
And some women are so "pro trans rights" that they stay away from the fight. I sent a video on the origins of trans ideology to a female friend of mine who is a professor in Asheville. She responded by saying that because she is pro trans it is not a video she would watch.
That so many people won’t watch or listen to “the other side” is disturbing to me. How do they actually know they disagree? I’ve lost so much respect for people in my life for that.
@@DJaneSyria I was surprised by her reaction. The fact that she automatically assumed it was "anti trans" just because they were discussing uncomfortable things was disturbing to me. I replied that it is a multidimensional topic.. so many on the modern left are closed minded, I think.
@@timbarry5080 yes I agree. I’ve lost so many friends and feel politically homeless. Apparently I ask too many questions. I had an English teacher in high school (80’s) who taught us to question everything. I’d been a very curious child who was literally beaten into submission by that stage, and that teacher reawakened that curiosity. It has had me in a lot of trouble over the years and although I still make mistakes, I still keep after the truth and will change when I find evidence I was wrong. If something doesn’t make perfect sense I have to keep at it. I thought many of my friends were the same but I’ve learned the hard way that likes and going along with the new thing seems way more important. It’s very alienating.
@@DJaneSyria I'm sorry to hear that. I wish more people were open like that. People will turn on you in a second now. I no longer watch "the young turks" but I've been seeing that fans have turned on Ana kasperian
(I may have spelled that wrong) because she has changed some views on the gender ideology thing. To them she has turned right wing simply because she has some different ideas.. and as far as losing friends, Buck Angel said on one of his latest shows that we don't lose friends we "return " them to where they belong. I thought that was interesting.
Funny how people who claim to be so open-minded and ‘progressive’ seem to be the most close-minded 🙄
We don‘t need to identify with any ideology, we can fight for a common cause. That‘s how I see it, I think that‘s more helpful than to judge women when they are not „feminist enough“ or „too radical“ blablabla…in the eyes of more or less prominent women or men who love to judge
Yes! I do not need you to be the same as me for me to fight for you. We have to stop this madness. For all women.
Yogokarya Principles!! Yes please! I have heard bits and pieces, but don’t have a clear picture on how it has impacted our current situation.
My college age children are so disturbed that I am a “TERF” and my daughter is the only one with a printer.
I need to go over to the library and print out that whole document.
Good sign that TERF ideology will probably die out with your generation. Thanks to your children for not adopting mom's aberration, being disturbed and not supporting you, especially to your daughter sending you to the library for printing.😂
Um, that's what Google is for?
@@radicalcartoons2766 it is literally a book. Too much to read on my tiny phone.
This was great. Gosh I keep learning more and more, Thanks for that. I'm 60 and I didn't go to university. My kids are adults. I had a couple of trans friends in the 90's. I hadn't heard of the term gender dysphoria or all the fetishes on display now. I did meet cross dressers. It all seemed so harmless. I didn't see any of this new nonsense happening. I am livid over all of this. Not only the wiping out of "women" but the harm to the LGB rights so deservedly hard won.
This is confusing for me because I don't understand this mindset and it seems this is how the problem starts. How did it seem harmless to have men pretend to be women and demand women play along? Were you unable to foresee that it couldn't not escalate?
@@Kelsea-im8ob Hmm, I wonder can you go back and realise any mistakes made in your life? Any outcomes you didn't foresee?
Responders who don’t understand why she said “it seemed harmless” are likely too young to have been an adult in the 90s. I was in professional theatre at the time, and yes the men who cross- dressed openly were harmless. Usually gay, lots of fun, and NOT laboring under delusions of actual womanhood. This insistence on being seen as literal women and entree into sex- specific spaces is a new generation’s game.
Thanks for the discusssion.. you are not alone.
I want a t-shirt "Feminists for Free Speech". 💜
I want a t shirt and more: an organized movement which meets regularly.
Me too.
Excellent fundraiser idea?
@@marjorieesteakley1982 I think one of us needs to start the US version of what Kellie Jay Keen is doing, except a little more fine tuned and directed towards us actually achieving change, not just talking.
@@NiaLaLa_V Mind if I ask what part of the country you’re in?
Yes a t-shirt "Feminists for Free Speech" would be great. And an organized movement of women from both Canada and the U.S.
"Terfdom" lol. I'm stealing this. If we don't laugh we cry. Thank you all for your thought-criminality. Women are brave!
Four ad breaks in 20 minutes. They’re hoping I’ll give up on this video. Not a chance!
Thank you, Meghan, you were the first to interview me after my cancellation in 2020. ❤,
So many of us made huge personal and professional sacrifices and have sacrificed our safety in this fight, for decades before these dimwitted, sexist dude bros were even aware of transgenderism, aside from what they watch in pornography.
If I leave the house 🏡 they’re pretty much everywhere.
if you told me ten years ago that i'd be listening to-and enjoying-a feminist podcast, much less one arguing for free speech, i'd have laughed. hard. but i'm glad i'm here. it feels like the irrationality around social justice that i was staunchly against back then has focused, like rays of sun through a magnifying glass, on this gender issue. it's like people with less black and white thinking in general are being forced to communicate in whispers.
if this total ideological capture and insistence we see "women" as a group including bearded creeps isn't enough, it hits especially close to home as a bi. we're expected to like "girl dick", whatever tf that is.
Ha! Yay! (That you are here and glad :)
Yes! Bi women are expected to be ok with deluded men because “we’ll go either way”? No thanks. Why is it that bi seems to mean promiscuous to so many? Oh yes, that’s right, p0*n.
Great chat ladies... thank you so much!!! Your efforts are so much appreciated!!
I'm a radical feminist/anarchist. I lost 90% of my "friends" after expressing my concerns about transgender ideology. I have lost most of the rest since I began questioning the "official" narrative around C19 and mandatory immunizations. I am older GenX and find myself kinda amazed at how small and lonely my life is now. I am okay because I truly love myself and enjoy my own mind/company, but I never imagined that I would experience a mass die-off of my friendships simply because I shared my opinions and concerns. As an anarchist and radical feminist many times my political opinions were very different from my peers and friends, but I was never ostracized, mocked, cancelled or shunned for them. Sadly it seems "Liberals" have shown their true nature as social fascists.
I am a boomer in the same boat as you.
I'm a Millennial in a similar boat except that I am fortunate two have two dear soul sisters irl who get it and I treasure them!
❤️🩹
Thank you 🙏
I wish you all three of you much success with this new endeavour. Thank you for all of your majestic efforts, past, present, future. Please mind your health. Respect.
I am so sorry to hear and completely understand your frustration with men gaining popularity for talking critically about the trans movement.
But as has been mentioned their analysis is usually weak and they don't actually care about women or any minority.
I am absolutely aware and thankful for everything you guys do and what women criticizing it since decades have done. Janice Raimond, Sheila Jeffreys, Julia Long, Magdalen Berns etc. really hit the nail on the hat, better than any men I've ever known did.
I adore you and have your notifications on but I was wondering why none of your stuff started showing up on my feed.
Meghan! I hope you will see my comment. You do sound bitter and I understand why!! 😂💜💜💜. However - hear me out: I am a black woman (early 20s) and one time my mom (late 60s) told my sister, “White women are your sisters, too.” My sister flipped out, she was like “hell no!” But with time and life experience she now knows it to be true. You are my sister and Matt Walsh and the like are your brothers and my brothers, even if we don’t see eye to eye on a number of things. Defeating gender ideology will require us to strategically collaborate and connect across lines of difference. We MUST exit all identity politics. We must find common ground and common language. We can’t let disagreements around abortion get in the way of the literal destruction of all humanity! Identity politics is a “divide and conquer” strategy. This is why I don’t identify as a feminist (partially also because it has historically excluded black women and because it so often makes men the enemy.) Men are NOT my enemy. We all sink or swim together. Yes, women and children are the first to suffer, but our lives are all interconnected. That is what Mother Earth teaches us. You can say that Matt and the like are capitalizing off of this but they too have wives, daughters, sisters, mothers, etc and I strongly believe many fight to protect them - the divine masculine! What kind of miracle would it be if conservative men and radical feminist women were to align forces!? We would be triumphant. I guarantee it. I have certainly had to heal wounds inflicted by white women and men of all races. But I can not let personal pathology fuel my politics; I refuse to reduce an entire group of people to their worst history and their worst qualities, especially when I have known their goodness and the potential for reconciliation as well. You are my sister, and sister, I hope you take the time to consider my comment!
I advocate strategically collaborating and connecting across lines of difference. It's one of the main things I've argued for over the past few years. Matt Walsh, on the other hand, creates division. He doesn't care about or respect women, which is why he refuses to support them or be honest about their contributions. He's a narcissistic grifter and that's it.
@@meghanemilymurphy
Division between who? When you say he doesn't respect women, do you mean he doesn't pander to the feminist ego?
@@valentapaxman its pretty clear he doesn't respect women. He is not an ally in any form for women. He is the Gilead version of emancipation - i.e male dominant control. He is no different than any of these transwomen who are not respecting the boundaries and autonomy of women. Its pretty obvious!
@@valentapaxman I don't know what the 'feminist ego' is, but I do know he has refused to support women in their fight against gender identity ideology. His aim is political and financial and he wants his narrative. He doesn't care about women in this...
@@kimcarsons7036
Any examples?
For ur info. Utube selected you for me. So it can happen. Now subscribed
me too
Ditto.
I still can’t believe this is happening. It’s so evil, but most people don’t see it yet.
My little sister just sent me this video. I’m perplexed as to how pro-women has come to mean anti-transwomen, if you believe that there is a difference between the two. The elephant in the room in 2023 seems to be male puberty. I would like to see our US government and legal system establish definitions. The definition of women can’t include people who have been through male puberty or women’s needs and rights are rendered meaningless. I think that women, transwomen, men, and transmen need to be recognized and defined as 4 separate categories, legally.
thanks meghan!
I haven't watched the video yet so sorry if this is pff topic but does anyone know when people started to say that trans women are *literally* women etc? Because i don't think that was always the case and cross culturally it doesn't seem to be the case.
I think it was 2015 after Catelyn Jenner came out. That seemed to kick a lot of this off on social media.
Ahhhhhh!!! I LOOOOOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!
I feel you!
Love this series! Cathy Brenan would be The Guest around that UN letter to re-count how was that...
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful conversation, women, thank you. All 3 of you are core inspirational influences in work and life, for me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Do you remember what he retweeted? I can't find utb
I flagged for "hate speech" in a comment because I used Rachel Levine's old name.
What about Rumble?
Great discussion, thank you all. I well remember Meghan's work against this ideology in Canada, before there were many voices speaking up - or being heard. It took great fortitude and courage to persist and I'm grateful for Meghan's work. The scenes at the libraries in Vancouver and Toronto were horrific! As someone, though, who has been a social democrat all my life - but who now finds herself politically homeless - I am saddened to see some prominent gender critical women turn to libertarianism. And I don't mean just Meghan. I don't see how a libertarian government would help women and children, when they are all about small government, reducing and privatizing social supports such as health care etc, and removing restraints on corporate power. Of course we all have a right to our opinions - and our frustrations with current political parties. But I don't get it. Waiting for a better alternative, perhaps the Party of Women.

Algo fed me this today! Nice to find some woman! Hello
Isnt the Dana Rivers case linked to the founders of Mich Fest? I could be wrong, but Dana Rivers, a trans woman was convincted of killing a lesbian couple and their son in the Bay Area
I thought they were connected to Mich Fest and that was the motive.
Julia long is so charismatic and utterly likeable imo
Merci!
Walsh and Peterson have brought many allies to your cause.
Maybe not such a great idea to trash them.
Maybe they shouldn't have trashed MM and other gencrit radfem women and stolen their ideas while giving them zero credit, then.
@@queenvanagon "Stolen their ideas" lol
This is a social emergency, not an invention.
It's also interesting to me that these women are upset that men of a "certain political persuasion" are talking about this issue now, when, apparently, feminists have been against gender identity all along.
I'm preeeetty sure "men of a certain political persuasion" would've agreed with these women on "gender identity" issues at any point in the last 50 years, if these women had actually reached out to them... which I'm completely certain they did not do, nor did they ever want to do.
Would you feel comfortable reaching out to Ben Shapiro since you've spoken to him in the past regarding why it seems that The Daily Wire never seem to be willing to acknowledge feminists (or non-religious women like Posie's) efforts to oppose gender identity ideology, prostitution, surrogacy, etc.? It seemed that you were on great terms. He called you when you were blocked, didn't he?
I like a lot of what the Daily Wire is doing, but their consistent treatment of "feminists" as the craziest of the third wave - that is, the people that could be argued to be not real feminists, or certainly advocating for a lot of anti-feminist things like "sex work is work" and gender ideology - is certainly frustrating. I was similarly frustrated by a recent video Michael Knowles did "debunking" veganism. Take on the real arguments and the best proponents, why don't you? I know some of their content is meant to be more entertaining, but he's being serious in some parts and it's a bit weak. I'd be interested in full-on debates on many of these kinds of subjects if they actually want to take stuff on.
@@kburns2470 Totally! I listen to Candace Owens every day and just roll my eyes when she starts feminist-bashing and going off about abortion being murder. They're so contentious and like Isabella says, thrive on an audience often hungry for (mostly female) humiliation. Like Lex Friedman blocking Meghan when he's supposed to be this high-brow, nuanced intellectual? Literally a tertiary search would allow them and their audience to answer the question 'where are all the feminists' but I guess they can't be bothered - and the truth is that Shapiro's audience probably wouldn't like him aligning with feminists, because then where's the dramz? Who would he blame for taking the (perverted, abusive) Father out of the home and blaming for society's downfall?
The only on air talent I like at the Daily Wire is Brett Cooper. She seems reasonable.
A friend of mine (a man) wanted to train as a Midwife.. In the UK this is possible.. Don't know about USA + Canada etc. What do women on here think about men being Midwives.. or is this just a natural movement over time in Nursing + Midwifery? After all nurses used to be women but now men nurse.. I am interested in your views ladies..
Male nurses are fine. I wouldn’t have had a male midwife for my kids, it makes no sense to me. I had a c-section for my second child and the doctor and nurses were male. It was horrible and a world away from my first (natural) birth with a female midwife. The men were making comments on my age and my body like I was an object, while I was having my son delivered. It made an already distressing situation even worse. The midwife was comforting and talked me through the birth and it was clear she knew exactly what was going on at every stage. It was a beautiful experience. I personally don’t want male carers of any kind, but others prefer them. We should always have a choice.
@@DJaneSyria I agree about having a choice, one part of me thinks, how can I dictate to someone about the job they choose, but the other part says, I would not want a man delivering my baby or giving me a smear test, plus, how can a man sympathise with you when he has never experienced any part of being a woman. Having said that, I have heard recently, tales of how nasty female midwives have been to new mothers, but wondered if this is because they have refused to be called birthing person or chestfeeder.
Elderly, disabled and poor men need male nurses because of the rabid age hate, ableism, elitism, classism, Russophobia, veteran hate and the Kalergi Plan.
I refuse all male carers for myself.

@@queenvanagon Thanks!
If you really have been outspoken against the trans issue since the beginning, then you clearly haven't been doing a very good job.
Here's the fundamental problem: the feminist movement, in particular third-wave feminism, was largely responsible for setting the stage for transgenderism to penetrate so deeply into public acceptance. This happened in no small part because the feminist movement was at least perceived to be arguing that there's no fundamental difference between male and female. You can argue till there's no breath left in your lungs that "feminists" never said that--it doesn't matter. That is how the public internalized the feminist movement. If you truly did not mean to implant the idea in the public consciousness that "gender is just a social construct" and there is no inherent difference between male and female, you failed miserably in your message.
The feminist movement also had the specific agenda of overturning longstanding cultural and societal norms. Traditional roles and functions were deemed overbearing, oppressive, or whatever other catch phrases were coined in order to denigrate the existing social order. There's no reasonable way to deny this. Well, congratulations. You got your wish. What we're seeing happen now is the natural and logical end point of the message the public has been hearing from feminists for 50 or 60 years now. Even if men had agreed with you and expressed an interest in working with you to do something about this issue at some point along the way, can you honestly say you would have accepted their help? I don't think you can. After all, it's not like you reached out to them during that time, either. You were--and in many cases still are--too busy demonizing them and declaring them members of the "patriarchy" and making it quite you didn't--and typically still don't--want anything to do with them. Even in this very video, the hostess struggles to give Jordan Peterson any credit for making cogent arguments against compelled speech and seems to feel resentment toward him. If she is a free speech activist as she claims, then she should be in favor of an ally arguing against compelled speech. Instead, she seems to be upset with him. Why?
Also, it's simply a fact that the vast majority of "radical feminists" are (to use US-based terminology) Team Vote Blue No Matter Who, and you have voted, past, present, and future, for the politicians who have enabled, endorsed, and now enforced "gender identity" into law. The vast majority of you will continue doing so indefinitely (you may, occasionally in online discussion, say that you won't, but when it comes down to it, you will). So your words haven't gotten the message across, and your actions have had a direct hand in leading to the rise of transgenderism. You're not blameless for this. Not at all.
This is more than a red/blue issue. Conservatives in Canada all voted for Bill C-16 just as the Liberals and the NDP did. I fought to speak out and was silenced, censored, marginalized, vilified, and disappeared. No one would even publish me on this issue, barely. I did everything I could, almost alone. (And, if you knew anything about me at all, you would know that my entire career has been centered around criticizing third wave feminism.)
Stop trashing Matt Walsh and focus on the Main problems!
Wooooah, gentle..
Maybe he shouldn't have stolen womens' work for his own profit, then. FXCK Matt Walsh, he is a misogynist grifter.
Thank you all so much. I too was made aware of the dangers of this ideology through DGR, Derrick, & Lierre years ago. Gratitude for the women who have been speaking out for years. 🩷♀️
