Podcast appearances and mentions of Allan G Johnson

Amy: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Today's book is called The Gender Knot: Unraveling Our Patriarchal Legacy, and it's the first text we've read that was written by a man since we read John Stuart Mill's The Subjection of Women several months ago! I have loved reading all of these books by women, but as I read this book it hit me how important it was that a man had written it, and here's why: One of the biggest lessons I've realized in my education on racism recently is that society often places the burden of changing racist structures onto people of color… when the responsibility should be on the people who uphold those structures. So racism is a problem for white people to solve. White people need to own it. Likewise, sexism - which exists in all cultures in various ways - is often treated as a “women's issue,” so as Jackson Katz says in his TED talk, men often tune out and don't pay attention. So I love that Dr. Allan G. Johnson, who was a sociologist and college professor - and a man - took on patriarchy as his life's work. And I was really gratified to see a lot of online reviews of his book written by men, who said this book helped them see things they had never considered before.  So I'm really excited to discuss this book today, and want to welcome my friend Kasey Cruz to our discussion. Hi, Kasey! Kasey: (Say hi - I'm so happy to be here! Or whatever comes to your mind) :) Amy: I met Kasey a few years ago - she became part of our family's little bubble of safe people during the Covid lockdown and she was our family's fitness coach when all the gyms were closed down. She is so incredibly energetic, cheerful, optimistic, and hard-working, and she's just a couple of years older than my oldest daughter so she became a dear friend as we spent hours together chatting between burpees and jump roping. :)  So one day while we were working out Kasey, you told us about your grandmother and about your great-grandmother, and we were so mesmerized that we stopped mid-exercise and wanted to know every detail. And that conversation led to me asking you to be on the podcast. So I wonder if you can tell us about yourself, and start with the story of your great-grandmother. Kasey:  My name is Kasey Cruz, I am the oldest of two children. Just me and my brother. My father's family is Guamanian and my mother's family is a mix of German and Cherokee and Palentin Indian. I was born and raised in Los Altos, California where I currently live. I recently graduated from Chico State University in the year 2020, sadly during the pandemic. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Kinesiology and a minor in Adapted Physical Activity. For anyone that doesn't know Kinesiology means, it is the study of the body and its movement. I had many life changing experiences during my time at Chico. I was involved in programs that helped individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities of all ages be involved in sports and exercise. Also, I interned at an elderly care facility for those with dementia and memory loss. There I led group exercise classes.  I also played soccer since I was four years old and ended up playing for about 2 years at the collegiate level. I've always had a passion for sports and exercise and loved the physical and mental challenges. At the university, I found a passion for helping others achieve their goals and challenge themselves through physical activity. Which leads me to what I am currently doing, I am a personal trainer, a strength and conditioning coach for athletes, and a group trainer at F45. Now a little bit about my great, great, great grandmother. As a little girl, we had this family tree project where we had to make a visual board of our family lineage on both sides. My mom was helping me with her side of the family and she told me that my grt grt grt grandmother was Cherokee and she was the chief's daughter. Her name was Starshine Chitwood and...

With rainfall lending a lovely natural ambiance to the conversation, we discuss the power of representation in Black Panther and the formation of the Time's Up initiative to combat cultures of sexual harassment in every industry. This brings us to the highlights and disappointments of the politically charged 75th Annual Golden Globes. After discussing everything from Oprah's powerful speech to the failure of any of the night's male winners to directly address the recent reckoning in Hollywood in any meaningful way, our intrepid crew ventures into "USS Callister," a thought-provoking Star-Trek-influenced existential nightmare that serves as Black Mirror's fourth season premiere. Finally, on What's Your Deal, we each share something we've been thinking about lately, and Anita takes the opportunity to honor the late Allan G. Johnson, whose work on patriarchy, privilege and social systems was hugely influential in the formation of Feminist Frequency.

We're back with Episode Three of Feminist Frequency Radio! This week, we dive into the latest entertainment news and share our excitement for Ava DuVernay’s upcoming film adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time. We then discuss comedian Hari Kondabolu’s thought-provoking new documentary The Problem With Apu, which looks at the harm done by Apu of The Simpsons, perhaps the single most enduring racial stereotype of a character in American pop culture history. We also return to Hawkins, Indiana circa 1984 to share our reactions to the second season of Stranger Things and Anita explains that, like Eleven, she too used to get nosebleeds a lot (but unfortunately she doesn’t divulge the nature of her telekinetic powers). Finally, Carolyn admits that International Men’s Day put her in a reflective mood and made her reconsider some things she said on last week’s show.

Dr. Johnson is a wonderful guest who sat with Chauncey DeVega under the learning tree and did some teaching and sharing.  In this conversation, Allan and Chauncey talk about the changing same that is race and racism in America, how systems of privilege are reproduced while also being denied by their beneficiaries, whiteness and masculinity, fear and anxiety in White America, and the lack of moral leadership in the United States around questions of race and justice.

We are all unique individuals, and differences exist between us, which is a beautiful thing. But society is also structured in ways that categorize us according to our differences, which can have really harmful effects. Join Radio Uprising this week as youth producers Jake, Vivianna, Rachael and Jeremy take on the topic of society's organization into categories based on human difference such as age, race, gender, and more. We talk about the status quo and being "normal." as well as our own interpretations of the term "social separation." We talk about historical instances where social separation was enforced by law, such as Reconstruction and Jim Crow, and later apartheid and the Holocaust. Next, the youth talk about their identities using Allan G. Johnson's "Wheel of Diversity," and discuss the ways in which our differences are used to divide us -- and what we can do to break down the barriers and make more meaningful connections with people from whom we've been separated somehow. The youth also share times when they used their differences to defy people's expectations and proved to the world that they're more than people assumed. All this, plus the most inspiring and transformative listener call ever, and--gasp!--Yankees saying Y'ALL!
