EP 177: Joanna Williams on Trump and Women's Rights
Manage episode 469773064 series 3305644
On Monday night, American legislation to ban transgender athletes from women’s and girls’ sports in schools was blocked in the Senate. The topic was a sleeper issue in the American election — with polling showing public support for sports participation based on biological sex. Today on the program, in an episode recorded ahead of the Senate vote, we ask why some feminists have backed Trump, in conversation with a British author and columnist who argues that Trump has actually done much to advance women’s rights.
Joanna Williams is a columnist for Spiked magazine, and the author of How Woke Won. Joanna Williams returns to the podcast.
