Description
<p>When womanhood is reduced to a capitalist identity, who gets erased—and who gets empowered to do the erasing? In the final episode of Gender War Games, host Cristen Conger joins <a href="https://www.ohwitchplease.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Material Girls</a> co-hosts Hannah McGregor and Marcelle Kosman to unpack how white womanhood is activated—politically, culturally, algorithmically—to reinforce systems of power. From tradwife aesthetics to terf rhetoric, strategic essentialism to state violence, discover how white femininity gets mobilized as both soft power and backlash engine in the so-called gender wars. </p><p>(00:00) Gender Equality Survey Says...</p><p>(00:59) The Real Societal Tension: Wealth Inequality</p><p>(03:37) Strategic Essentialism and Gender Categories</p><p>(08:37) Scapegoating and Transphobia</p><p>(12:01) Gender as a Technology</p><p>(14:45) Capitalism, Social Reproduction and Gender Roles</p><p>(18:46) Masculinity Crisis By Design</p><p>(26:44) Racial Capitalism</p><p>(31:18) The Political Weaponization of Gender</p><p>(39:59) Community Building Beyond Individualism</p><p>For ad-free bonus episodes and uncut guest interviews, visit <a href="http://patreon.com/unladylikemedia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">patreon.com/unladylikemedia</a>.
