The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 115 In Simone de Beauvoir’s famous work The Second Sex, she wrote one of the most famous lines in feminist thought: “One is not born but becomes woman.” This statement, and her articulation of what it means, outlines the modern-turned-postmodern Gnostic cult we know as feminism.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 101 James Lindsay, host of the New Discourses Podcast, gets asked all the time about what really got him started in his campaign against Woke Marxism.
