We are hoping these episodes will motivate you to organize and fight back as feminists for all marginalized bodies, which is to say, the bodies targeted by fascism. By connecting the dots and seeing how this fascism operates by making us the enemy, but also by trying to get us to fight one another, we hope to change the future. One feminist episode at a time. Special thanks to the team, Laurie Essig, Alison Segar, Harper Nichols, El Fahey, Daisy Kulina, Ruthie Brown, and many more!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-31T04:20:51.113745+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/feminism-fascism-and-the-future-6713092"},"episode":{"title":"14.

Yes, always, because of the neoliberal university ,because of the anti-gender movement and how much they hate feminism and women and truth, because they are shutting down departments all over the country. And no, we are already here in large numbers and spread out throughout the university. Gender Studies might be vulnerable to fascist attacks, but the experts we spoke to all agreed: even Trumpism cannot kill critical thinking!","meta_description":"In this episode, we ask \"Is Gender Studies F*d?\" and the answers might surprise you.
