Macca and Janet talk to Dr Louise Richardson-Self, Senior Lecturer Philosophy & Gender Studies, School of Humanities, Uni of Tas; ‘Gender is not a Threat’, about a recent article Dr Richardson-Self published recently.

 

Gender has assumed terrifying, phantasmagorical proportions for a diverse range of groups today. It has become an “overdetermined” concept, “absorbing wildly different ideas of what threatens the world”, writes American feminist philosopher Judith Butler.

Gender-critical feminists are concerned that male predators will be allowed into women-only spaces. For the Vatican, the traditional family will be ruined and children are now vulnerable to “ideological colonization”.
