Episode 98: Being a Feminist in Public and Euthanasia as Socially Constructing Death

  • Summary

  • The UK's Labour government has announced a proposal to introduce euthanasia for the terminally ill. We approach that in the latter 40 minutes of this episode, after a discussion of what it's like to be a feminist in public. Expressing feminist ideas in public can lead to encountering attention seeking tactics and subsequently becoming blackpilled. We also discuss the combination of radical feminist theory with socialist feminist practice, and men adopting feminist understandings due to novelty. The latter half of the episode is concerned with euthanasia, as well as the newly proposed Ozempic injections for the unemployed obese, and work coaches for mental health in-patients. Social constructionism requires state intervention, but this particular form of statecraft is being supported by Humanist organisations pretence that the UK's main opposition is an evangelical Christian contingent that does not exist and is not large enough to be a political force. Little reflection is taking place on how the slippery slope is built-in to euthanisia, leading to, for example, people in Canada with Alzheimer’s being signed-off for euthanasia by their legal guardian family members. Plus, the subjective nature of suffering, the feminist arguments against euthanasia, and the death of capitalist hedonism and its possible monstrous rebirth in euthanasia.
