Listen now | Kit Kowalski and Edie Wyatt talk about the world of sex and gender from a gender-critical perspective, not just the culture war, but law, policy, activism, feminism and all the nonsense.
I enjoyed this episode and thought it made a number of sharp points: the importance of things like pronouns and men in dresses; and that the tendency of leading GC figures to overlook issues that are 'the thin edge of the wedge' reflects their strong middle-class bias. That is why we're in this mess. Almost none of our intellectual class detected the warning signs of what was to come.
As much as I am sympathetic to Andrew Doyle, Helen Joyce, Colin Wright and the others, I think EW has much more depth on this issue than most of them combined and imagine that it is the misrepresentation of her views that stings more than the loss of their good opinion. However, if not actually insulting, 'scab' is still a somewhat ugly and dated word and presented them a stick to beat EW with.
I am now up to date as of this podcast. Enjoyed them all, well, except for when the content was pissing me off. It's been interesting to learn about what's happening in Australia (and I thought Canada was bad) and I've gained quite a bit of context regarding the X turmoil. You'll be pleased to know you've helped me refine my position. Miss Edie I'm sorry you've been mistreated by a certain crowd on X. I have no respect for those who lash out with childishness when they can't successfully defend their position. By the way are you two in different time zones?
You both may well have something worth listening to -- or reading.
But expecting people to spend an hour and half listening on the off-chance that you do doesn't seem all that reasonable. You may wish to consider subscribing to a transcription service ...
