Has feminism gone too far? Mary Harrington, a UK writer, contributing editor at UnHerd, and author of "Feminism Against Progress," thinks so. In fact, she thinks we need to go back — way back. Industrialization, AI, cosmetic surgeries that chase youth eternally, and interventions like the pill have not offered women freedom or empowerment, leading us to wonder if things should have stopped with the first wave. Certainly, Mary believes we should be moving in an entirely different direction. I spoke with Mary in early March about her anti-futuristic vision of the future. https://twitter.com/moveincircles https://swiftpress.com/book/feminism-against-progress/ https://reactionaryfeminist.com/ ~~~ This interview was made available on Patreon for early access.

Peter Boghossian had been a professor of Philosophy at Portland State University for a decade when he famously resigned in September 2021, on account of harassment and an increasingly illiberal atmosphere, limiting free thought, free speech, and critical discourse. He is now engaged in a "Street Epistomology" project, wherein he facilitates conversations about controversial topics, encouraging members of the public to question their beliefs and maybe even to change their minds. I spoke with him about the project, how to disagree with friends, and why he loves "My 600-lb Life." https://www.thefp.com/p/my-university-sacrificed-ideas-for https://peterboghossian.com/ https://twitter.com/peterboghossian https://www.youtube.com/c/drpeterboghossian ~~~ This video was made available for early access to patrons.

Shannon Thrace was happily partnered with Jamie for 14 years when he, within the span of just 18 months, decided he wanted to be a woman. Her memoir, "18 Months," describes her confusion and heartbreak at watching the man she loved become an entirely different person — narcissistic, moody, selfish, dramatic, and very depressed. The physical changes didn't help either. From a sexual interest in cross-dressing to Jamie deciding to fully transition, "18 Months" tells a compelling story of the destruction trans activism wreaks on people's lives. http://shannonthrace.com/ https://www.amazon.com/18-Months-Memoir-Marriage-Identity/dp/B0BHTN37H6 ~~~ This interview was made available for early access to patrons.
