Emma hosts\u00a0Kyla Schuller<\/a>, Assistant Professor of Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers University, to discuss her recent book\u00a0The Trouble With White Women: A Counterhistory of Feminism<\/a>,\u00a0on how mainstream feminism has been a project of theft disguised as liberation. Professor Schuller and Emma situate white feminism as one that isolates a specific element of misogyny while leaning into many forms of structural oppression, from racism to classism to transphobia. The first contrast Kyla Schuller brings to our attention is that between the feminism of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, co-author of the quintessential \u201cHistory of Women\u2019s Suffrage,\u201d with Susan B. Anthony, and that of Frances E.W. Harper, who used the income from her poetry to fund the Underground Railroad and paint women\u2019s rights as a movement to promote Black folks\u2019 land rights, liberty, and literacy. Despite writing what is viewed as the quintessential \u201cfirst wave\u201d feminist text, Stanton\u2019s and Anthony\u2019s feminism was actively based on beliefs that Black suffrage could not take precedence over women, leaving Harper\u2019s beliefs entirely out of their project, while appropriating and editing the works of Black women such as Sojourner Truth to fit their own narratives. Using this as a blueprint for the differences between \u201cwhite\u201d and intersectional feminisms, Schuller then looks to the appropriation of the story of escaped slave Harriet Jacobs by Harriet Beecher Stowe for her work \u201cUncle Tom\u2019s Cabin,\u201d and how this reflected Stowe\u2019s feelings of the white woman\u2019s role in protecting, teaching, and civilizing women of color, as further represented by her ultimate acquisition of the largest orange plantation in Florida, as a place to experiment with disciplining and civilizing the formerly enslaved. She and Emma also touch on the stories of Margaret Sanger and Dorothy Ferebee as an important contrast in the development of reproductive choice, versus reproductive justice, before touching on the takedown of Sandy Stone from the lesbian music collective \u201cOlivia Records\u201d by anti-Trans activist Janice Raymond. They wrap up the interview by touching on the concept that the universal female experience that TERFs ground their oppression in simply doesn\u2019t exist, and look at Sheryl Sandberg\u2019s \u201clean in\u201d feminism versus AOC\u2019s coalition feminism. Emma also looks at Biden\u2019s decision to break up BBB, hoping to at least get some moderates on board if he\u2019s going to lose the faith of the rest of his base.<\/p>

And in the Fun Half: Brandon and Matt join Emma as they take on MLK NFTs but like IRL, exploring the commodification of the Civil Rights Movement, and crypto bros' inability to grapple with artists having the rights over their work. Warren from Toronto calls in to explore Jordan Peterson\u2019s brief prevalence in Canadian academia, and how that all fell apart well before his retirement, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson take on the threat of \u201cNGOs,\u201d (totally different than corporations, they swear), and the crew explores how Jordan Peterson\u2019s self-help work targeted people who were looking for meaning in their life, and what the left can learn from it. Anti-vaxxers turn to pissful protests, plus, your calls and IMs!<\/p>
