Episode notes
Rebrand Reveals A Movement Contradiction
- John Stonestreet highlights the irony of the Women's March UK rebranding to 'Intersectional Uprising' while claiming to 'End the War on Women.'
- He warns that such rebrands reveal a deeper cultural contradiction about erasing women in the name of women's rights.
The 'What Is A Woman?' Moment
- John recounts Joseph Backholm asking protesters at the Women's March in Washington, D.C., 'what is a woman?' and getting baffled responses.
- He contrasts that with teenagers at the March for Life who offered a clearer answer.
Equality Redefined As Sameness
- Stonestreet traces feminism's shift in the second wave toward equating equality with sameness to men, especially through the sexual revolution.
- He argues this redefinition cast the female body as an obstacle rather than a defining good.
