As a leader of the radical feminist organization group Women's Liberation Front, Natasha Chart doesn't agree with conservatives on much. But when it comes to the transgender movement and protecting children from transgender ideology, she's standing side by side with conservatives. Chart spoke Thursday at The Heritage Foundation's Summit on Protecting Children From Sexualization. On this week's edition of "Problematic Women," we sit down with her to find out why.

Plus, we take on the issue of deepfakes—the technology that enables you to transpose one person's face over another's, making it seem like that person is doing or saying something they are not—and how it’s becoming a bigger problem, particularly for women. We also address Teen Vogue’s claim that Gen Z is the most progressive and politically independent, Demi Lovato's apology for taking a celebrity birthright trip to Israel, and the now-infamous courtroom hug between Brandt Jean and Amber Guyger, the police officer who had killed his older brother.

And we leave you with Ellen Degeneres’ special message about George W. Bush.
