Sexism and Misogyny on the Screen

Episode 155:  Pam Munter on "Fading Fame:  Women of a Certain Age in Hollywood"

On this episode of the en(gender)ed podcast, guest host Kerri Holt speaks with Lizzy Hershberger and Molly Maeve Eagan to discuss their book <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Behind-Blue-Curtains-Survival-Pursuit-ebook/dp/B0925CBPKZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Behind Blue Curtains, A True Crime Memoir of an Amish Woman’s Survival, Escape and Pursuit of Justice</a>.  Their conversation will explore Lizzy’s struggle to survive the abuse, support herself, marry and raise her own family, and seek justice.  Themes covered also include the role of religion and community in the survivor’s life, its role in shaping gender norms and expectations, with particular emphasis on enabling, excusing, or permitting men’s violence over women and the survivors’ healing from trauma.  Kerri Holt, a member of the Engendered Collective, is a Domestic Violence Victim Advocate for a community-based non-profit (and a Credentialed Advocate through NOVA (National Organization for Victim Assistance).)  Kerri answers calls on a 24/7 hotline with survivors and police with the goal of survivors attaining safety from a current or former partner.  She also provides survivor-centered advocacy in a non-crisis capacity through community prevention and education programming. During our conversation, Kerri, Lizzy and Molly referenced the following resources: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The grooming process</li> <li>WIsconsin v.

Episode 154:  Lizzy Hershberger and Molly Maeve Eagan on "Behind Blue Curtains:  A True Crime Memoir of an Amish Woman's Survival, Escape, and Pursuit of Justice"

On this episode of en(gender)ed, guest host Roman James interviews feminist lawyer, human rights activist, political philosopher, columnist and author, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafia_Zakaria" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Rafia Zakaria</a> about her newly released book, <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Against-White-Feminism-Notes-Disruption/dp/1324006617" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Against White Feminism, Notes on Disruption</a>.  Roman speaks with Rafia about the historic domination of the feminist lexicon by upper middle-class white women, the de-centering of Black and Brown voices, and the role that patriarchy plays in perpetuating white supremacist, capitalist, imperialist feminism which often subjugates the very populations it asserts to be empowering. Roman James is mama to the most wonderful, generous, and intelligent light being she ever met. Additionally, she serves as an activist and resistor of the violence imposed on women and children in the archaic American family court system having been radicalized by the institutional betrayal of the legal system. Her purpose is to thrive in her self-possession, rise above the systemic failures and leave everyone she comes in contact with better off for having met her.    During our conversation, Roman and Rafia referenced the following resources: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Rafia’s journey to becoming a feminist.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Rafia’s perspective on women being tasked to be disrupters.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">1893 World’s Fair’s showcase of the “White City” and the exclusion of Black people and communities</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The controversy behind ESPN reporter Maria Taylor and Rachel Nicols</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The double standard and racism behind “culturally-coded crimes”</li> </ul> --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!
