Roxane Gay and Kate Manne speak to this moment in time, the nature of progress, and their hopes and fears for the future. In a conversation moderated by Ann Mossop, they discuss modern feminism, online communication and social media, and the “lean white male” bodies that history has centred over those that exist on the periphery. Roxane Gay is a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times. Kate Manne is a philosopher and associate professor at the Sage School of Philosophy at Cornell University.  Produced by The Festival of Dangerous Ideas, The Ethics Centre and Audiocraft.
