Draft:Naomi Wolf

From RationalWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Naomi Rebekah Wolf (1962–) is a "feminist icon",[1] most famous for a book she authored called "The Beauty Myth". This book argued that media portrayal of women in the 1980s was a conspiracy designed to make women feel bad about themselves and rob them of power. The book also argues against the idea of objective beauty.[2]

Today, Naomi is the CEO of a digital journalism website called Daily Clout. The website contains advertisements for alternative medicine for COVID-19. The website primarily markets a book which purports to debunk Pfizer documents on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. Naomi calls herself a "tech CEO".

Naomi and COVID[edit]

Naomi has been vocal about her opinion that COVID-19 vaccines are dangerous and that the 2020-2021 lockdown/distancing measures were among the greatest crimes of humanity.[3][4]

She implies part of the COVID response was a conspiracy by authoritarians worldwide to secure power. First by making citizens feel scared and then offering authoritarian anti-COVID measures as a "remedy".[5]

Naomi on partisanship[edit]

Naomi thinks the American left has become "rigid" and censorial, which has made them less funny and prone to immorality.[6]
