Episode notes
Misogyny in Language Changes
- The replacement of terms like 'women' with vague phrases erases female biological realities.
- This trend reflects misogyny and capitulation to extreme trans activism rather than inclusivity.
Women as a Class
- Women are oppressed as a class united by the fear and reality of male violence.
- Many leftist men fail to recognize women's collective class oppression and diminish feminism accordingly.
False Blame for Tragic Death
- Julie was falsely blamed on Twitter for the death of a trans woman who was pushed under a train.
- This attack was quickly removed due to its libelous nature but shows the extreme hostility faced.
