Summary
Journalist and author Helen Lewis has built a reputation for sharp analysis of politics, culture and the forces reshaping public life. In one piece for The Atlantic she unpicks policies, and the figures promoting them, arguing against some rights for women. On today’s podcast Helen tells Hugh about influential figures who would once have been considered “fringe” coming to the fore. She explains why questions around women’s rights and gender identity have become so politically explosive, and how media and politics have become entangled in a cycle of outrage and performance.
