Deborah Frances-White: "The Patriarchy Will Move"

November 8, 2026 · 46 min

Show notes

Comedian, author, screenwriter, and host of the global phenomenon, The Guilty Feminist, Deborah Frances-White, sits down with host Salma El-Wardany to dive into tradwives, the Road to Gilead, and the thing no one ever asks her about….beauty tips!

With more than 180 million downloads and sold-out shows from the Royal Albert Hall to the Sydney Opera House, Deborah is witty, irreverent and funny. She’s also more galvanised than ever to fight for women’s rights. 

Deborah reveals what growing up in a religious cult taught her about controlling women, why she refuses to move out of the way for men on the pavement - “because the patriarchy will move!” and takes to the Pulpit to tell us why AI is just an arrogant guy at a party who refuses to admit he doesn't know the answer.

New episodes every Sunday. 

Bonus conversations every Wednesday. Don’t miss the Feminist Quickfire with Deborah Frances-White this week.
