ILN EP 53: Mary Wollstonecraft

Published: July 27, 2018, 6 a.m.

Pat was feeling Pat-riarchal (get it?) so Ben sits his penis-having ass down and teaches him about Mary Wollstonecraft, an iconic Enlightenment thinker and arguably the very first feminist philosopher in the Western tradition. In her classic book "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman," Wollstonecraft exposes the patriarchy for the first time, bringing to light how centuries of mansplaining have conditioned women into being subservient and pursuing shallow, ephemeral goals at the expense of their rights and personal growth. Her solution? Emancipation and education for all women. Listen in as the WIsdomBois dish about the very first WisdomGurl. It's a wild ride.
