The American Left: The Feminist Movement Jul 17, 2024

Show notes

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the far-reaching ramifications of the feminist movement before introducing Hillsdale College Politics professor Kevin Slack.

American politics have drastically transformed over the last few decades as a ruling elite has emerged that, despite being from different parties, largely shares radical ideologies centered around identity politics. The change is not simply the natural conclusion of progressivism, but rather a series of radical movements that have provided new ideas and shifted the Left from the liberalism of Franklin Roosevelt to the Great Awokening of Barack Obama’s second term.

The Feminist Movement is often depicted as the fight of the sisterhood against the patriarchy, but in reality, it was largely a movement of the elites, both men and women, against the traditional middle-class mores regarding the family.
