  • Grateful for Unveiled Review

    It is always refreshing to hear critical thinkers discuss the cultures in which women are oppressed despite backlash that can be faced. Particularly with the ongoing fight in Iran, I am elated to see WDI platform this reality.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can we setup a TERF Fund + Why Nina joined WDI
Q: You said there's going to be new hate crime laws. Is that going to make it much, much worse to speak out?
Yes, the new hate crime law is expected to shield religious groups but also could jail anyone who speaks against trans ideology, which the speaker argues would severely restrict free expression and risk punishing women who defend sex-based rights.
NZ What is a Woman? Bill + Fired from the EU Commission for being a TERF #WDI
Q: What is the current status of the submission process in New Zealand and where is the bill in the parliamentary schedule?
The select committee will consider hundreds of submissions, hear primarily legal arguments, and then report back to Parliament for a second reading, likely after the election, with potential amendments.
RFP - ‘Unmaking War, Remaking Men: How Empathy Can Reshape Our Politics, Our Soldiers and Ourselves’ by Kathleen Barry, discussed by Susan Hawthorne.
Q: How does the book address the role of women in military contexts and their experiences as civilians and family members?
The host and guest discuss that women are deeply affected both as individuals and as part of families, with trauma and violence linked to military engagements; they note that the book foregrounds violence against women as a central facet of war and argues for empathy-based approaches to reorganize social and political structures.
EU LGBTIQ+ Strategy and Parliament vote trans women = women, American TERFs crack leftie media
Q: Are you seeing that more and more on the trans thing that there are more mainstream women saying things like you can't change sex or is it still very shut down?
There are more mainstream media women now using radical feminist ideas, indicating a gradual shift in discourse.
RFP - Women and Evolution by discussed by Kathleen Lowrey.
Q: Is there a feminist complaint about the global fertility crisis?
While feminists may not collectively express concern over declining fertility rates, there is recognition that many women are having fewer children than they desire, which should be a concern for feminists.
