The Same Drugs: Ani O'Brien on the problem with modern feminism

I spoke with Ani O'Brien last week about why feminists have failed on free speech, her experience of fighting for women's rights in a world that wants to erase biological sex, the problem with hate speech laws, and the challenge of dealing with intra-movement attacks. Like, me, Ani is fond of heterodoxy, and guilty of wrongspeak, putting her at odds with many feminists, and the left.

Ani is a political commentator and spokeswoman of Speak Up For Women (SUFW), a non-partisan organization that exists to protect and advance the rights and interests of women and girls in New Zealand.

In unrelated (but relevant imo) news, I live in Mexico currently, where it is very humid and therefore purposeless to attempt to straighten it, so this is the current situation with my hair. idk, I'm working on it. It's an adventure.
