  • Megyn Kelly is joined by Christina Hoff Sommers, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and Desh Amila and Curt Jaimungal, the filmmakers behind the documentary "Better Left Unsaid," to talk about the rise of the illiberal left, how the illiberal left changed feminism, our culture of therapy and safetyism, self-censorship, "fainting couch feminism," fighting back against cultural censorship in Big Tech and on college campuses, how the tolerant left and tolerant right can unite, and more.

    As a 22 y.o. female, hearing an older woman say “keep forging forward and you will get stronger” is SO empowering ❤️🙏🏻 love you Megyn

      @Caroline Hathaway I have witnessed some of the BLM demonstrations last year and it seems like a large portion of mostly young women were under some kind of mass psychosis seeing these kinds of behavior makes me worried about the future of the nation most of these people seemed so myopic

    Just one more reason to admire Megyn Kelly. She's as protective of her sons' self concept as her daughter's. It's always been fashionable to jokingly put men down while boosting women. We need strong women to point out the wrongness of that.

    Wow, that’s the most accurate description that I’ve heard yet on how to meet in the middle. Black cops to help with racial issues. Parents with both sons and daughters. Very simple and I’ve probably had thoughts like that in the past which were so logical and candid. But, it seems as if the logical middle ground doesn’t squeak enough to get the grease. 😮

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Attended college in the 1970s and never “identified” as a feminist bc I hate labels … besides deadhead … and never felt “oppressed” in today’s lingo. Supported the basic ideals, which are now the exact opposite. I am woman hear me roar has become I am woman hear me whine and let me trash everyone for verbal violence. Arghhh!!!
    Now I also have something to watch while rebounding, exercising … joyless , alienating, small, vindictive and mean. Exactly.

    Thank you for saying this. My wife is an ex model and why I say ex because she became one of these angry feminist because of how the people told her she's encouraging men to force themselves on women. She said the more you get immersed in that world the more hateful you become and she found herself apologizing for having been a model. She dressed differently and came to a point where she became such an angry person that she wants to kill herself. When I met her she was like a feral cat she insulted my maleness ever chance she got. She was gorgeous but because of how she dressed and her attitude I didn't even notice it. I was raised by a single mother and I had a sister so I had a far bigger tolerance for a woman's moods than almost anyone I knew. One day we all went to a friend's house for a rugby match. She's originally from New Zealand so she's an All Black. We ended up fighting over the fact that i said if you hate men so much why do you support rugby. It's a men's p*ssing contest at its best. I decides I'd had enough and before i left that day I just told her I'm going to fix you. And in no way did I mean I was going to force her to listen. It took me 2 years of seeing her with our friends where I literally made a conscious effort to get past her hostility and I mean this was a woman that had an issue with me opening a car door for her. Today we're very happy and she will still say it was because i was stubborn and the fact I kept opening the car door for her even when I knew she would just close it and open it again that made her question what exactly she hated about men. Only thing she can remember was people telling her she's a sex object and she's what's wrong with society today. Essentially brainwashed. My friends all asked why am I making a fool of myself she was only going to insult me after it all. After knowing her for 3 years and all the male bashing she told me to send her an update on something that was happening in our friend circle. I didn't even have her number until then. Ultimately the people who controlled the narrative then haven't been in her life since college and yet it 5 years later it turned her into a shadow. She will tell you without a shadow of doubt that she wouldn't have been able to get out of it had it not been for a man who's resolve was stronger than her resolve to destroy her entire life. Today she is anti virtue signaling. The point of the story is men are not women and women are not men. We have completely different strengths and when it's put together it should fit like a puzzle piece. Just because youre the left edge and she's the right edge doesn't take away the fact you're both edges. But today they want it all to be the left edge and right edge because who needs a man. Remember no matter what your relationship is with your parents a man and woman made you. You can't exist without 2 chromosomes. 1 from a woman 1 from a man. These people adopt kids and say "see I don't need no man" did that kid come from a stalk in the sky?" As far as I remember you still need a man's portion to be artificially Incriminated. Dont need no man. Think further than yourself before making such quotes. Men will always need women and women will always need a man. What it comes down to is respect and because of the lack of it we have for humans as a whole that this type of behavior can dominate the narrative

    Pastor, School Board President, spotify listener. This along with the guys you had on spotify today point to me a thought I've been having. Humanists are uniting. Secular humanists (often liberal but not always) - Theistic Humanists (conservative but not always) have battled over leadership of our Country's center since its founding - today we are being decentered by Marxists. Who are counting on us not being able to set aside our differences and fight back. If you believe humans have inalienable rights (for any reason) you should unite!

    Christina Huff Sommers was never a good judge of feminism from way back. Simply because she was always on the outside looking in. Never engaged in it at all. She has no stake in it at all. She wasn’t on the side lines. She wasn’t even in the stadium to critique any part of the women movement. If she could go back to the early 1900’s she would be one of the anti suffrage women, for sure. As an example, she’s like a white woman criticizing the black movement, (no idea of the hardship blacks have faced or are facing) or she’s like an atheist criticizing someone’s faith in Jesus. She has no idea of what she’s talking about. You want to know about the back experience or someone’s faith in Jesus, or the women’s movement, ie, feminism, you go to the one who’s intimate with it.
    The black person, the faith person and the feminist.
