On a popular podcast, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/is-this-real-michael-knowles-reacts-to-ben-shapiro-rap-video-with-tom-macdonald" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire host Michael Knowles</a> and Gen Z feminists debated feminism, what it means to be a &#8220;real woman,&#8221; and the dangers of transgenderism.
During Knowles&#8217; appearance Thursday on the &#8220;Whatever&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGheQulIfao">podcast</a>, the Daily Wire host said that feminism is &#8220;harmful&#8221; to women and said he disagrees with the Gloria Steinem belief that there is no inherent difference between men and women, something he said &#8220;totally erases women.&#8221;
&#8220;Because if a woman tries to be a man, she&#8217;s always going to fail,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/1753168081075986442?s=20">Knowles</a> told the women on the show. &#8220;I think women are great and women have a wonderful nature.&#8221;
&#8220;And when women are fully women, they can really flourish, and when they pretend to be men, they get miserable,&#8221; he added.

Knowles then pointed out why the <a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/1753179911492145159?s=20">transgender issue</a> is ultimately harmful to women.
&#8220;Trangenderism believes that men and women are so similar that one can become the other,&#8221; Knowles told the ladies on the panel, who weren&#8217;t all in agreement with him.
&#8220;Transgenderism is men and women are so similar, they&#8217;re not complementary, sex is not immutable  &#8230; it&#8217;s actually a social construct,&#8221; he added.
Later in the three-plus hour show, the transgender issue came back up and <a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/1753179911492145159?s=20">Knowles</a> pointed out that transgenderism is an error of feminism.
&#8220;Most reasonable people know that men can&#8217;t become a woman,&#8221; the DW host said. &#8220;This is why I have pity for feminists who are trans-exclusionary radical feminists because they don&#8217;t realize it was their own ideology that led to this.&#8221;
Near the end of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGheQulIfao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show</a>, the topic of &#8220;What is a Woman?&#8221; was debated, with both Knowles and two out of the three Gen Z feminists agreeing that there&#8217;s a difference between what the hosts labeled a biological &#8220;real woman&#8221; and a trans-identifying male.
One of the feminists, PxieLove, said, &#8220;a woman is a person who acts and is perceived as a societal perception of a woman,&#8221; and Knowles replied, &#8220;that’s at least half of it.&#8221;

Another panelist, Farha Khalidi, opted to not give a definition without doing &#8220;more research on the topic,&#8221; over which she was blasted by the panel. While the third feminist panelist, Jazman Jafar, said she felt similar to Pxie that &#8220;trans-women and biological women are the same, but I don&#8217;t think trans-women are men either,&#8221; saying there can be an &#8220;umbrella term for women.&#8221;
Knowles pushed back on the idea and Jafar claimed that a person&#8217;s &#8220;biological identity&#8221; could be different from their &#8220;social identity.&#8221;
However, the majority of the feminists seemed to come to some agreement with Knowles that when it comes to the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGheQulIfao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sports world</a>, biological men &#8220;might&#8221; have an advantage when competing against women in female sports.
