Review of What Is a Woman? (2022) by Air-Colorz — 23 Nov 2022
In this documentary, Matt Walsh, a right-wing political figure operating for Daily Wire, tries to explain what a woman is by engaging with various people using what seem to be semi-structured interviews - a form of qualitative research.
It quickly becomes apparent, however, that Walsh does not have an academic background in sociology, nor has he made an effort to learn the methods around how to conduct these interviews in a manner that is in line with academic standards.
Questions that are too suggestive, camera crews who are present in the room with him and the fact that he has received media training beforehand (contrary to most people he interviews) all contribute to skewing the responses his interview partners provide him with.
Funnily enough, the only person he interviews who has received media training, is fellow Daily Wire employee and another right-wing figure, Prof. Jordan Peterson - making Walsh's bias during the selection process clear.
Because of these errors in the design of his study, the whole documentary begins to fall apart rather quickly. Responses can not be evaluated on equal and neutral grounds, something the documentary lacks in general.
Thus it can be said, that this documentary is more of an opinion piece at best and a propaganda video at worst, holding itself only accountable to preexisting ideological frameworks and the questionable views of Matt Walsh.
