Women: Oppressed or Oppressor?

Sep 5, 2023

Do we live under a patriarchy? Should women boycott sex with men? What's the Nordic approach to prostitution? Is masculinity celebrated more than feminity?


We cover all that + more in this conversation with Holly Lawford-Smith, a philosopher and academic whose work primarily focuses on topics in political philosophy. Holly has been the subject of much public discussion and debate due to her views on various topics, most notably her advocacy for the protection of women’s sex-based rights and her criticism of self-identification laws for people who identify as trans.


She's also a Visiting Academic in the School of Law at the University of Reading, and a Network Member of the Open University #GenderCritical Research Network.
