Feminist Current Meghan Murphy

Canadians have begun pushing back against gender identity ideology in schools. But it has not been easy. The first 1millionmarch4kids in Victoria, BC on September 21st was shut down barely after it began, the police determining it was too dangerous to continue. A second rally happened on October 21st, and this time a woman going by the name "Tara" was punched by a counter protester. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with her about what happened.

Kajsa Ekis Ekman published Being and Being Bought: Prostitution, Surrogacy, and the Split Self in 2013 and has worked as a prominent and respected journalist in Sweden for many years. In 2022, Kajsa published The Meaning of Sex: Thoughts about the New Definition of Woman, within which she presents a Marxist feminist critique of gender identity ideology. She has since lost jobs, friends, and support from both leftists and feminists in Sweden. She has not given up on her work, though. This year, Kajsa launched Parabol.press.
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Kajsa about the situation with gender identity ideology and legislation in Sweden, her cancellation, and how she views the left nowadays.

After women's rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen was mobbed and assaulted in New Zealand on March 25th, longtime feminist and socialist Jill Ovens decided she'd had enough. The following week, Jill resigned from the Labour Party and founded the Women's Rights Party, which states, on their website:
"We want a world that is safe and fair for women and girls
The Women’s Rights Party is a party of women and men who believe in democracy, equality, and biological reality.
Sex is binary
Human beings cannot change sex
Women are adult humans of the female sex"
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Jill about her political history and why she formed the Women's Rights Party.

In recent years, prisons across the Western world have been allowing men who identify as women to be housed alongside female inmates, leading to sexual harassment, sexual assaults, pregnancies, and complaints from women both in prison and among the general public. These complaints have been mostly ignored by governments and those with the power to do something. That said, the policy in the UK was changed in February in response to one high profile case in particular, wherein a rapist named Adam Graham began identifying as "Isla Bryson" in order to be reassigned to a women's prison in Scotland. The new policy prevents men who "retain male genitalia or have been convicted of a violent or sexual offence" from being moved to women's prisons. 

The US and Canada, though, continue to lag on addressing this issue, and dangerous men remain in women’s prisons across North America.
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with two women who are taking action: Amanda Stulman is the USA director of Keep Prisons Single Sex, and Jennifer Thomas is the founder of Free Speech for Women and runs an action group called "Get Men Out."
