gender politics

We have our first return guests to the bathroom! Dr Christopher Scanlon and Kasey Edwards are back to talk about their new book, Bringing Up Boys Who Like Themselves. They chat with Cam and Ali about why 'tough' isn't actually a good quality for boys to have, the importance of letting them fail, and whether or not we need to treat boys and girls the same.

In this episode, Van chats with David Parsons, host of The Nostalgia Trap.  They talk about his upbringing in Ventura, California during the 1990s, why he's obsessed with '90s pop culture and film, the nightmarish state of being a perpetual precarious academic historian, and what got him into the podcast game. They also discuss his fascinating book, Dangerous Grounds: Antiwar Coffeehouses and Military Dissent in the Vietnam Era.

ആണും പെണ്ണും തുല്യരല്ല. കണ്ടാൽ അറിഞ്ഞൂടെ !! അയിന്?! കണ്ടാൽ അറിയുന്നതല്ല ലിംഗഭേദം. സാമൂഹ്യസാഹചര്യങ്ങളിൽ LGBTQIA+  പെണ്ണിനേയും ആണിനേയും ഒരേ പോലെ പരിഗണിച്ചാൽ മതി. നമ്മുടെ സമൂഹത്തിൽ അത് എത്രത്തോളം സാധ്യമാണ്? കേൾക്കൂ മനോരമ ഓണ്‍ലൈനില്‍ – 'അയിന്?'... ഇവിടെ സംസാരിക്കുന്നത് ലക്ഷ്മി പാര്‍വതി

Men and women are not equal; recognise it if you see it! Then what? Gender inequality cannot be seen by looking. In social contexts, treating LGBTQIA+ people, women, and men equally is sufficient. How possible is that in our social culture? Listen to "Ainu?" by Manorama online... This is Lakshmi Parvathy speaking.

Blooms & Barnacles chat with composer Benjamin Wenzeberg about his new, Ulysses-inspired opera NIGHTTTOWN.

Topics include adapting Ulysses for the stage, the process of writing an opera during Covid, gender politics and #metoo in Ulysses, gender-inclusive casting, Molly as a force of nature, the proper use of Italian, the symbolic power of musical notation, and Stephen Dedalus’ vulnerability.

When do white folks learn they’re white? And how do they start to understand the scope of benefits that whiteness affords them? For Jessie Daniels, these uncomfortable questions are only the beginning.

Jessie Daniels is a Faculty Associate at the Harvard Berkman Klein Center, a research associate at the Oxford Internet Institute, and a professor of Sociology, Critical Social Psychology, and Africana Studies at Hunter College and The Graduate Center at CUNY. She is a world-renowned expert on Internet manifestations of racism, and her latest book Nice White Ladies: The Truth about White Supremacy, Our Role in It, and How We Can Help Dismantle It is available now from Seal Press.

I imagine there are people who are going to read this book and throw it against the wall. And that's okay. But I would just encourage you to pick it up again, after you've thrown it against the wall the first time, and keep reading and sit with the discomfort and also ask yourself, why are you uncomfortable? I would argue that, to the extent that white people are uncomfortable hearing what I have to say, and white women in particular, is because we're holding on to whiteness in some way. We want that to not be a problem. We want that to mean that we're innocent, that we’re beautiful, that we're better than other people. And it just doesn't mean that. Let's let go of that idea of whiteness. 

—Jessie Daniels, author, Nice White Ladies

We talk about:

• How feminism and white supremacy often coexist and how “gender-only feminism” always ignores race
• White women’s complicity in slavery and its lasting effects
• The “meme-ification” of the Karen archetype and the real dangers they pose
• The path Jessie took to discovering her own whiteness
• How to divest from the culture of whiteness
• The power, and necessity, of sitting in discomfort

Plus: in this week’s You’ve Got This, Sara discusses how white women hold onto whiteness in the workplace, and the hidden meaning in terms like “professionalism,” "culture fit,” and "niceness.” For more on reckoning with whiteness in your workplace, head on over to https://www.activevoicehq.com/podcast.

For as long as many of us can remember, man/woman, male/female, and masculinity/femininity have been construed as idealized opposites. And so much of Western society has been organized by this binary - from gender-specific bathrooms to fashion to even colours. But is this how it’s always been? Have “men” and “women” always been divided into distinct categories? Is gender fluidity really a new phenomenon? This week, we’re discussing the origins of the gender binary and the (pretty big) role colonization played in its creation.

INTERVIEW: On today's episode I chat with award-winning writer and media critic Soraya Chemaly. Soraya speaks frequently on topics related to gender, media, tech, women's rights, sexual violence and free speech. She was named one of Elle Magazine's 25 Inspiring Women to Follow on Twitter, and was the recipient of the Women’s Institute for Freedom of the Press’s Women and Media Award. She is the author of the upcoming book, Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women’s Anger. On this episode Soraya shares with us her explorations into anger, and the gendered & racial implications of who deserves to be angry. We talk about the politics of emotions, the limited language that we have for expressing & understanding how we feel, and so much more.
