Dipping Our Toes Into Theory

Written By Grabbing Back

with Megan Whitlock

Check out this podcast from the early days of Grabbing Back! At the time, Cyara ran Grabbing Back as a one-woman-band. She is interviewing Megan Whitlock, a student involved in university feminist organising. Megan’s interests include: socialism, feminism, cats.

The two chat through how they find engaging in feminist theory, how Megan’s ‘Northernism’ (Northern-ness?) is one of the reasons she’s invested in feminist theory, and how this interacts with her socialism.

Questions include:

  • Was Margaret Thatcher a feminist?

  • What do we mean by feminist theory? Are we being snobs when choosing what counts as ‘theory’ and what doesn’t?

  • Does it matter why people are invested in feminism, or is investment enough?

  • What matters more, feminist theory or feminist action?
