5: Reactionary Feminism - Mary Harrington | Maiden Mother Matriarch 5

My guest this week is Mary Harrington, contributing editor at UnHerd and author of a new book, Feminism Against Progress, which launches a full frontal attack on the ‘progress’ narrative of women’s history. We spoke about the meaning behind Mary;’s term ‘reactionary feminism’, the Old Left, biotech, body snatching, and why the feminists who embrace dechristianisation are sawing off the branch on which they sit.
