Is the Femosphere Really Feminist? with Jilly Kay

The femosphere speaks the language of feminism – pro-women empowerment, anti-capitalist caregiving – and addresses valid material concerns. But its pink-pilled message of bioessentialist fatalism and “hardwired” gender and racial hierarchies offers little in the way of liberation. Dr. Jilly Kay, the scholar who coined “femosphere,” demystifies its manosphere mirror logics, reactionary politics, eugenicist undercurrents and the term’s swift hijacking to scaremonger about gen-Z women’s progressivism. 

Jilly's research:

The reactionary turn in popular feminism. 

Through the looking glass: Feminism and reactionary politics in the digital hall of mirrors. 

A tale of two angers: The manosphere, the femosphere and the gender politics of mediated rage.
