Honestly with Bari Weiss
Is Kemi Badenoch the Next Margaret Thatcher?

And, you know, you look at what women historically had to deal with, not being able to own your own property, things being owned by your father or your husband. I thought, you know, I don't want any of that. Thank goodness I wasn't born in that era. But I always want the equality. And I think one of the issues is that feminism became too academic.

And then it started going down these rabbit holes where, well, being a woman is a social construct. Like, well, no, it isn't. It's real. It's biology. There are expectations and the stereotypes and so on. Those are social constructs. But being a woman... There is a shared relationship that you will have with every single woman across the planet.

And it will be the same for men, too, within that biological aspect. And we shouldn't throw that away. But the thing that drove me crazy was seeing how the lives of young, sometimes very young, gay, autistic children were being destroyed on the altar of trans activism. which was then in conflict with feminism. And a lot of women who call themselves feminists, in my view, were on the wrong side.

And I thought, you don't understand what it is you're fighting for, that you are letting go of reality and somebody needs to take a stand. And meeting children and young people who've been effectively sterilized, I think it's horrific. How can people just allow that to happen and say it's just a self-defining thing? So I'm very, very much against that. Do you think that war has been won?

Honestly with Bari Weiss
Is Kemi Badenoch the Next Margaret Thatcher?

I think a lot of battles have been won. I don't think these wars are ever won. I think that the price of victory is eternal vigilance. And I'm very pleased, actually, at how far we've got, because I don't have to talk about it as much as I used to. And I didn't even talk about it that much. But when I did, I made sure that the interventions were very clear and very strong.

So I actually think that the issue has come up because people don't know how to fix the stuff that's really impacting people's lives. And so they want to look at things that you can just fix with regulation. You bring a law in and it's fine. You can't just bring a law in and fix debt or fix productivity. You can't fix a birth rate with a law.
