Feminist Analysis: The Sexual and Gender...

REVOLUTIONARY LEFT RADIO
About this episode

Tai Lee joins Breht to lay out a feminist analysis of modern fascism and to assert the importance of keeping a robust proletarian feminism at the center of our socialist politics.

Topics discussed include: the overturning of Roe, theocratic fascism on the American Right, the intensification of LGBTQ hate on the American Right, chauvanists and bigots pretending to be on the Left, the Manosphere and Andrew Tate, the profound insecurity behind the performance of hyper-masculinity, violent misogyny and its relationship to mass shootings, and much, much more!
