Inside MAGA's Plan to Roll Back Women's Rights - What A Day



May 26, 2026 What A Day
You may have noticed that misogyny seems to be everywhere right now, especially online.

As American women continue to move further to the political left, men on the American Right appear to have responded by losing their minds completely. Helen Lewis, a staff writer for the Atlantic, coined a term for these kinds of people. She calls them "masculinists." And she argues that "masculinism" has become a bonding agent for the American right wing that can paper over other divides. Helen joins the show to discuss her article, "The Men Who Want Women to Be Quiet."

And in headlines, what we do and don't know about Trump's alleged Iran deal, Tulsi Gabbard resigns as National Intelligence Director, and Pro-Palestine Activist Mahmoud Khalil takes his deportation case to the Supreme Court.

who believed that the only purpose of women was to breed the next generation whether they wanted them or not. Attacks on women's rights are a hallmark of dictatorship. Not holding Bush accountable for stealing the 2000 election is what started this current nightmare.
