This episode is a gift for all humans who want to educate themselves and join this important conversation surrounding gender assumptions around the world, including whether all moms are afraid of spiders.
This episode may be long, but it packs a punch and is well worth the listen. We are joined by our producer Stephany to discuss some complex issues surrounding sexism and misogyny, and share our different perspectives with care and humor.
In the first 45 minutes of the episode we discuss the differences between sexism, misogyny, and patriarchy, and PRACTICAL responses we and our listeners can use when faced with an inappropriate joke, comment or uncomfortable situation.
In the second half of the episode, we take an unexpected but important deep dive into medical misogyny, how the “father of gynecology” used enslaved women in experimental surgeries against their will, how countries respond differently to women’s menstruation, Steph’s shocking interaction with Colombia’s current president, and how online misogyny through sexual and violence images and comments leads to actual extremism and violence against women and girls.
