Deborah Frances-White
The Guilty Feminist
Deborah Frances-White is a London-based comedian, author and screenwriter. She has both British and Australian citizenship and is best know for hosting the podcasts Global Pillage and The Guilty Feminist.
Tomorrow she is coming on to Triggernometry to discuss the way conversation & debate have become untenable and have fragmented progressive movements. People on both the left and right have become totally polarised which is killing critical thinking and healthy discussion.
Comment your questions for Francis and Konstantin to ask Deborah tomorrow.
Hi, you interviewed Mridul Wadhwa about 4 years ago, and appeared very supportive of this man running Rape Crisis Centres for women. He famously stated that the women survivors objecting to men in their spaces needed to be re-educated. Have your views evolved since then?
What is the driving factor behind the inability of progressive causes to discuss ideas rationally and agree a "big tent" position which inevitably leads to a cannibalisation of their supporters? How can this then be weaponised by centrists and the right to reduce the influence progressives have in politics?
