She is a men's advocate and critic of feminism. She had a long-running YouTube series called The Fiamengo File that received a permanent ban from YouTube, and she has recently begun The Fiamengo File 2.0 about the history of feminism in order to demonstrate that feminism was never about equality.  In this episode, we chat about the history of feminism, the differential treatment of men and women under the law, the Me Too movement, and much more! “All feminists say they're interested in is the social and political equality of men and women, but that isn't the case at all. When one looks at what feminists advocate equality doesn't seem to be a part of the issue at all. There are so many areas in our society where men are not doing well and we don't hear feminists speaking about those issues with concern and we don't see feminists advocating for those issues.” - Janice Fiamengo Top Takeaways:Feminism was founded on principles that advocate for the moral inferiority of men, disparging men, and trying to remove them from all forms of power.Life throughout history was extremely difficult for both women and men, but the focus always seems to be on women.Men are imprisoned and punished much more harshly for the same crimes that women commit.Feminism seeks to undermine the family unit.Show Notes: [1:40] Greg welcomes guest Janice Fiamengo.[1:50] Why did Janice get involved in men’s advocacy?[6:00] What is feminism?[9:50] Feminists reasons for why there are more men in prison.[13:00] History of feminism. [25:00] The misconception that in the past women were considered the “property” of men and the many responsibilities men have had throughout history.[28:10] Differential treatment under the law between men and women.[34:10] The complexity behind the issue of women’s right to vote. [36:10] Different types/brands of feminism and the label of being a “feminist”. [41:00] The Me Too movement.[44:40] The death of chivalry.[47:10] Men’s sense of attachment to women.[49:50] How feminism demeans and attacks the family unit and how it removes any agency or ownership of women’s circumstances.[54:00] Johnny Depp v.
