Hear Me Out

Feminism Is Dying (But It Can Be Saved)

Jan 23, 2024

On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… which wave is this, anyway?


There’s no denying that the feminist movement looks different now than it did 50 years ago — and in some ways, that’s a good thing. But there’s an argument to be made that the modern movement skews politically progressive… so much so that it’s leaving some women, and some issues, behind. 


Phyllis Chesler, author and second-wave feminist, joins us.
