The ‘In Bed with the Right’ podcast, hosted by Adrian Daub and Moira Donegan, examines right-wing ideas about sex and gender.
In recent months, the call to repeal the 19th amendment and rescind American women’s right to vote, has proliferated as a hashtag, meme and a shibboleth in certain far-right spaces. But how serious are those championing the cause? In this episode, Moira explains to Adrian that while we needn’t worry that the 1920 amendment is going anywhere soon, this demand is about jockeying within the masculinist coalition that brought Donald Trump to power. While the supposed “arguments” for a repeal don’t really bear engaging with, the history of the demand and its proliferation at this moment tells us a lot about gender and the (far) right: specifically about an alliance and a competition between tech bros and religious fundamentalists.
