It discusses feminist perspectives on childbirth, child raising, and mothering from Simone de Beauvoir, Alexis Pauline Gumbs and others drawing on "The Second Sex", "M/other ourselves", "The Feminine Mystique," and "Revolutionary Mothering". We debunk common pregnancy misconceptions, dissect pregnancy literature, and shine a light on pregnancy related medical malpractice. We talk about trad wives and other conservative pro-natalists. And we discuss why it might be hard to have children now, between late stage capitalism and climate collapse, and introduce social infertility and why addressing it should be a leftist goal. Also yeah, it's a pregnancy announcement.

Is Northern Ireland a Country? The Leftist Cooks 2023-02-01 | What country does the northern part of Ireland belong to? What a simple question! We should be able to answer this very quickly. Behold, a fully re-edited and re-made re-release of the video that youtube didn't think you should see. Why, you may ask? Did you show nudity or v$0lence? Heavens no. But we did, in fact, talk about the colonial history of Ireland and ways in which that colonisation might still... be... happening right now. But it's a cheery breezy Leftist Cooks video.

Even leftists dont talk about animals. The Leftist Cooks 2022-05-27 | It is dangerous when we, as leftists, can’t discuss a topic. We are committed to examining and breaking down structural inequalities, but there are still some topics it’s taboo to talk about: animals. Why can’t leftists talk about animals? We discuss cognitive biases, stigma, workers' rights, and, yes, animal rights too. Because bad actors have been taking advantage of the situation while we've been too afraid to look.

Whats With All These Wacky Right Wing Identities? The Leftist Cooks 2021-04-14 | They call themselves Super Straights, Proud Boys, Gender Critical, Classical Liberals and you have to wonder what on Earth they're talking about. In this video essay we examine right-wing culture through the lens of Social Identity Theory. We touch on freedom of speech, comedy, a brief history of the British colonisation of Ireland and a whole heap of Queer Theory. Oh, and there's another spiffing recipe! This time for nettles and wild garlic miso soup.Written by Neil Farrell & Sarah Oeffler✨We're on PATREON!

Forage for wild garlic and nettles. Use gardening gloves to keep from getting stung, and a good guidebook to keep from getting poisoned.2. Using gloves, wash the nettles under boiling water, and run more hot water over them for good measure.3. Roughly chop nettles and slice tofu, add them along with garlic, 3 teaspoons of miso paste, a veg stock cube, and optional dried wakame seaweed, to a pot of water.4. Let simmer until nettles are soft and flavors are combined.CITATIONSRoney, J. B. (2019). [Mis-] managing Fisheries on the West Coast of Ireland in the Nineteenth Century.

Gender and Authenticity The Leftist Cooks 2021-01-26 | Time to get cancelled!What is gender? Who is this lipstick-wearing person and what do they mean when they say they're “genderqueer”? What do they mean by “authentic gender expression”? What is gender dysphoria? What about gender euphoria? Is biology destiny? Can we even talk about biology without the noise of culture entering into the science? What is this delicious recipe for roast tomato ragu? Joined by Ireland's best trans, non-binary and gender-fluid comics, we embark on a journey through time and space to examine gender and probably get ourselves cancelled so damn hard!The Leftist Cooks are Neil Farrell and Sarah OefflerSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/TheLeftistCooksSUBSCRIBE, why not?: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC358... ↓↓↓RECIPE↓↓↓Place a punnet of cherry tomatoes and four to five whole unskinned cloves of garlic in a suitable baking dishDrizzle in olive oil and crack a little salt over the topRoast for only about fifteen minutes in an oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius or 390 degrees Farrenheit While that’s cooking, slice and fry one whole shallot and as many mushrooms as you likeAdd half a tin of chopped tomatoes or, alternatively, some tomato pureeAdd a dash of balsamic vinaigrettePepper(a little fresh basil helps here.
