UPenn Law Professor Says Radical Feminism Has Made Women ‘Dumber’

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

Has “radical feminism” been bad for women? University of Pennsylvania Law School Professor Amy Wax argues a resounding yes. “Radical feminism has had a baleful influence on college campuses, and on women’s education, in all sorts of ways,” she said. “It's really made them dumber.”

In this week’s edition of The Daily Signal’s “Problematic Women” podcast, Kelsey Harkness interviews Wax on free speech, gender roles, #MeToo, and “radical feminism.” Wax talks about the dangers of young women taking offense “at remarks that really are not meant to be offensive,” and the left’s constant search to “find sexism under every rock.”

In addition to having a bachelor’s degree from Yale College, a medical degree from Harvard University, and a law degree from Columbia Law School, Wax has argued 15 cases before the Supreme Court on behalf of the Justice Department. Listen to today’s podcast to hear her take on free speech, #MeToo, and modern-day feminism.
