The Future of Feminists

"Fourth wave. Fifth wave. What comes after 'believe all women' when the movement starts eating its own?"In this sharp, forward-looking episode, we project the trajectory of feminism as a political, social, and economic force over the next 10-20 years. With Gen Z rejecting "girlboss feminism," birth rates plummeting across developed nations, the rise of tradwife content, and a growing loneliness epidemic among young women despite record educational achievement — where does the movement go from here?We explore the fractures within feminism itself: TERFs vs. trans-inclusive activists, sex-positive vs. sex-critical camps, liberal individualism vs. materialist/Marxist feminism. Will the movement continue fragmenting into micro-identities, or will a new unifying theory emerge?We also analyze male counter-movements (Men Going Their Own Way, red pill, passport bros) as direct reactions — and how feminism's future depends on answering men's loneliness without abandoning hard-won gains. Featuring sociologists, demographers, and young feminists on the ground. No easy predictions — just the most likely futures, from feminist utopia to post-feminist backlash. Press play before the fifth wave crashes.
