I don’t see radical feminist in this video. Does she even say anything on topic to this sub aside from that one joke at the very beginning?

The OP missed out the important information that this is a performance in character. 'Titania McGrath' is a persona created by Andrew Doyle. OP has also linked to the video 5 seconds after the start, effectively editing out the graphic identifying it as a performance at a comedy club. Most videos made at this club include the same graphic on a large backdrop banner. This one does not.

Doyle is successful at perpetrating pranks on the woke left (which takes little imagination or effort) calculated to appeal to right-wing tabloids and their readers. He writes for Spiked online, a climate-change-denying ultra-libertarian organ. I think it unlikely that his goals align with those of radical feminism.

Wait so are you saying the person in the video is a man or? I’m confused.

I am saying it's a performance scripted by a right-wing male.

Ok, that makes sense. It’s pretty awful.

Andrew Doyle is not right-wing. He's a liberal. He doesn't like Woke and Woke speech policing so he's been trolling them with Titania McGrath and Jarvis Dupont. The Titania and Jarvis Twitter pages are actually pretty funny. Every time they tweet, it'll either rile up some Wokebros who don't know they're parody tweets, or it'll peak someone. I'm glad he's there.

ETA: Jarvis Dupont is Titania's fictional TIM roommate. He sometimes writes for the Spectator.

I don’t know about this guy, but the woman in this video is awful. She puts on a valley girl voice half way to mock women and it’s actually really gross. She actually barely says anything related to rad fem or gender critical except for one line in the beginning.

The woman in the video is not a real person. It's Titania McGrath and this is a comedy act. IDK know OP said she's a radical feminist. She's fictional wokester. On her twitter page she describes herself as "Activist. Healer. Radical intersectionalist poet. Selfless and brave." You all please stop taking this seriously.

Plenty of rightwingers consider themselves liberals. Doyle’s message is essentially that of Trump: “they want you to feel guilty: don’t let them” [later edit: a supplementary message is 'blonde women are stupid']. The right’s media, from the Spectator to the Sun, love him because they correctly perceive his trolling to be rightwing propaganda.

Whatever. He's a comedian, and Titania is fictional construct. We all really need to stop getting news from comedians.
