Episode 12: What is femininity? A critical analysis of femininity and purity culture

We put forward that femininity cannot just be assessed at the symbolic level of aesthetics and beauty practices, but requires a social-relations analysis as the infantilisation of women in service of patriarchy. We also discuss in the final third of the episode how the far-Left has a tradition of working with the rightwing, taking every available platform, and that activists should be defined by their political work, rather than self-declared political identity.
