Abby and Patrick welcome Sabrina Strings, professor and North Hall Chair of Black Studies at UC Santa Barbara, to talk about her new book, The End of Love: Racism, Sexism, and the Death of Romance. The book is both a deep dive into the genealogy of western notions of "romance" - from medieval courtly love to Victorian mother/whore complexes - and a searing critique of contemporary ideologies of love, normative gender roles, practices of dating, and more. Strings takes Abby and Patrick on a journey through how a seemingly abstract "Romantic Ideal" is in fact dependent on histories of racialization, abjection, and a formulation of the bodies of black women as "the commons." Tracing the legacies of these histories to the present, they examine how love, transgressive and otherwise, gets represented in media from Sex and the City and Friends to reality TV shows from Love is Blind to the (undersung) Tool Academy. Must the legacy of Romantic love as a mechanism for perpetuating the social reproduction of inequality and subordination continue to weigh on our relationships today - or are there other possibilities? Plus: a critical theory of the fuckboy!The End of Love is available here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-end-of-love-racism-sexism-and-the-death-of-romance-sabrina-strings/20054512?ean=9780807008621Other key texts cited: Tressie MacMillan Cottom, “In the Name of Beauty,” in Thick: And Other Essays: https://bookshop.org/p/books/thick-and-other-essays-tressie-mcmillan-cottom/12898635Shulamith Firestone, “The Culture of Romance,” in the The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-dialectic-of-sex-the-case-for-feminist-revolution-shulamith-firestone/21357717Have you noticed that Freud is back?

Over the last decade, Planned Parenthood has become one of the country's leading providers of gender transition hormones for young adults, according to insurance claim data. In August, journalist Jennifer Block published an article in The Free Press entitled “How Did Planned Parenthood Become One of the Country's Largest Suppliers of Testosterone?” The article follows the story of a teenager who visited her local Planned Parenthood and was fast-tracked into medical transition and then surgery that she almost immediately regretted. In this conversation, Jennifer talks about how this happened, why the public has been slow to realize it, and how to find an intellectual consistency between supporting abortion rights and opposing medicalized gender transition for young people. GUEST BIO Jennifer Block is an independent journalist who writes frequently about health, gender, and contested areas of medicine. Her articles and commentary have appeared in The Boston Globe, Romper, The BMJ, The Cut, The New York Times, The Baffler, **and many other outlets. Her 2007 book Pushed, led a wave of attention to the national crisis in maternity care and is a foundational text in university curricula and birth worker training. She's also the author the 2019 book Everything Below the Waist: Why Health Care Needs a Feminist Revolution. Want to hear the whole conversation? Upgrade your subscription here.

Embark on a journey of enlightenment as we explore the legacy of Sirene, the radical feminist magazine that stormed through 1970s Norway with a force that resonated far beyond its time. With cultural and media scholar, Synnøve Skarsbø Lindtner, shedding light on the magazine's enduring impact from her doctoral thesis, we trace the ripples of change and challenge that Sirene sent through society. The magazine, with its bold take on politics as a personal moral choice, redefined the cultural landscape, advocating that the responsibility of societal transformation begins with individual action.As we unravel the threads of Sirene's story, we grapple with the complexities of modern-day politics and the part personal agency plays in collective movements. Drawing parallels with the present, we examine the contentious issues that polarize us - climate crisis, women's rights, racism, and ableism - to understand our role in shaping a brighter future. This episode is more than a reflection on a groundbreaking publication; it's a clarion call for hope and action, urging you, the listener, to wield your choices with conviction in a world that often seems divided. Join us in honoring the voices that roar for change and in contemplating the weight of our own in this pivotal moment in history.The Magazine SIRENE Support the showFollow my PatreonSupport my content at Buy me a Coffee:

Brian interviews Melanie Paradis. Melanie is the President of Texture Communications and a veteran Conservative campaigner. We talked about her article: “Homesteading and the unfolding feminist revolt. A generation of women is angry. That's showing up in their hobbies, and in their vote intentions.” She writes: “A political shift is happening among Canada's women. Up until March 2020, it had become taboo to want to stay home with your kids. But COVID lockdowns changed life for moms and dads in ways we still don't understand. Post-lockdowns, perspectives on family life and parenting have changed. It will have considerable implications for our politics that we have not yet begun to understand, but urgently need to.”

This week Eliana and Patrick delve into Lizzie Borden's 1986 dramedy Working Girls about a day in the life of a group of young sex workers in a middle-class brothel in 1980s Manhattan.A milieu rarely ever depicted on the big screen in American cinema (in their Criterion essay So Meyer stresses that it was not until Sean Baker's Tangerine in 2015—three decades later—that the lived reality of sex workers would take center stage of a major US feature film again), Borden, with her observational eye and collaborative filmmaking process, circumvents the common dichotomous portrayal of prostitutes as either glamorized or pitiable, shedding light on the profession that proves both sympathetic to its characters and discerning of the mundanity of their profession—ultimately highlighting the autonomy women can exercise while embracing that the world's oldest profession is just that—a profession.Resources:Borden, Lizzie, and Gordon, Betty. “Lizzie Borden and Bette Gordon on Working Girls.” Criterion, 2021,Da Costa, Cassie.

If you've ever wondered why Iran sometimes is, sometimes isn't considered part of Asia, this episode has the answer. Because of the revolution in Iran, I really wanted to talk to a woman from the Iranian American diaspora and had the privilege of talking to Women's, Gender & Sexuality studies professor, Dr. Manijeh Moradian. Manijeh talks about how the U.S. - Iran relationship evolved over decades from the ‘50s to the ‘79 revolution, and beyond. She also shares her thoughts on Western involvement and media coverage of the current feminist Iranian revolution, and what the Iranian people really want. GUEST BIO Manijeh Moradian is assistant professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Barnard College, Columbia University. Her book, This Flame Within: Iranian Revolutionaries in the United States, was published by Duke University Press in December 2022. She has published widely including in American Quarterly, Journal of Asian American Studies, Scholar & Feminist online, and Women's Studies Quarterly. She is a founding member of the Raha Iranian Feminist Collective and on the editorial board of the Jadaliyya.com Iran Page. DEFINITIONS Coup d'état, a.k.a coup, is an illegal and overt attempt by the military or other government elites to unseat the incumbent leader. Western hegemony: domination of the west over other countries through economic, political and military power. The While colonialism used direct military control or hegemony to control or influence a colony, neocolonialism uses economic, political, cultural, or other pressures to control or influence other countries, especially former colonies or dependencies. Shah:the leading figure (or king) of an Iranian monarchy Hijab: headcovering worn by Muslim women MENTIONED This Flame Within: Iranian Revolutionaries in the United States, by Manijeh Moradian Ghosts of Revolution, by Shahla Talebi Fesenjan recipe Feminists for Jina TAKEAWAYS Many of the stereotypes we know are more recent than we think and they happened quickly, seemingly overnight. Pitting minorities against each other is a common way for oppressors to keep the status quo. Iran distanced itself from Asia to avoid being subjugated by Europe. Instead of always working through our governments, we can think of ways to create solidarity between our local grassroots movements across borders. Asian Americans are Americans too, and our marketability should not be restricted to the Asian diaspora, but rather America at large. Women's liberation does not mean assimilating into western culture.

In reaction to poor treatment in the scene, the Riot Grrrl! movement started with Bikini KIll's Kathleen Hanna's manifesto. Taking the form of a band pamphlet, it spawned a sub-genre in the Punk world, and gave voice to women who liked to kick ass on stage! Markus and Ray dig into the bands, the fans, and this new branch of politics. The long-unsolved murder of Mia Zapata of The Gits only underlined the need for Grrrls to unite! The music was punky, and raw. The politics struck a chord, spawned a better outlook on Rock/Punk made by women, and inspired other bands. We love our sponsors!!!

Alix explains what life is like on the ground for everyday Ukrainians subject to regular air raid offensives with missiles and drones.

“It's kind of a feminist revolution. I would say it's the first feminist revolution of the Middle East”, says Ramin Jahanbegloo in this week's #Forum2000online Chat. Mr. Jahanbegloo, an Iranian political philosopher, professor at the Jindal Global University, and ICDR Member, joined Azerbaijani journalist and member of the Forum 2000 Program Council Arzu Geybulla, to talk about the situation in Iran.

In this episode, we hear from Yasmin El-Rifae, writer and author of Radius: A Story of Feminist Revolution (Verso, 2022). Radius is the story of the women and men who formed Opantish—Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment—who deployed hundreds of volunteers, scouts rescue teams, and getaway drivers to intervene in the spiralling cases of sexual violence against women protesters in Tahrir Square during the uprising in Egypt.

Iran is currently experiencing its largest civil rights movement since the 1979 revolution. This uprising, sparked by the killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini—who died after being detained by the Iranian morality police for being improperly veiled—is proving to be a critical turning point for Iranian women. Since the protests began in September, at least 16,000 have been detained, and hundreds have been killed—including at least 380 protestors and at least 58 children, some as young as eight. Helping us to unpack these important issues are two very special guests: Dr. Yalda Hamidi is Assistant Professor of Gender and Women's Studies at Minnesota State University, Mankato. She identifies as a feminist pedagogue, mentor, and storyteller. Yalda's research provides a more comprehensive picture of transnational feminism for diasporic communities and explores intersectional identities and feminisms in Iranian women's writing in the diaspora and inside Iran. Dr. Parmis Khatibi is a leading expert on mental health and wellness services.  She is a clinical specialist at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center as well as a Clinical Adjunct Professor for the University of California, San Francisco School of Pharmacy and USC School of Pharmacy. She provides mental health and clinical care to the most vulnerable community members suffering from addiction. She is  engaged in solving some of the most pressing issues of our global economy and has served as Chairwoman for the World Affairs Council of Orange County, California.Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Tips, suggestions, pitches?

Chan Marshall, better known by her stage name Cat Power, is an American singer, songwriter and producer. After three decades in the music industry, she has eight original albums under her belt but has also made three cover albums. The most recent saw her singing everything from the work of The Pogues to Lana Del Rey. This Saturday she will be recreating Bob Dylan's iconic 1966 Royal Albert Hall concert. It was one of the most controversial tours in the history of rock & roll, where Dylan enraged fans for electrifying his songs. Power will be performing them in the same order as Dylan himself: the first half of the show will be acoustic before an electric band join her for the second half. Chan joins Emma to talk music, motherhood and honouring a rock and roll icon. With just five days to go until the US midterms, Emma takes a look at what matters to women voters. On Monday we heard from a former Republican strategist, today Emma will be joined by Democratic Party political strategist and former head of EMILY's List, Stephanie Schriock. A new project, led by Lancaster University, has created memory boxes, designed to help women whose babies are taken into care at birth while a court determines their child's future. We hear why these ‘Hope boxes' are so important to the women who developed the idea and Research Fellow, Claire Mason who supported them. And discuss why the number of newborns in care proceedings in England and Wales has increased over the past decade. We revisit the events of the Egyptian protests in 2012-2013 in Tahrir Square in Cairo, with the author Yasmin El-Rifae. Her book, ‘Radius, A Story of Feminist Revolution', tells the story of the women and men who formed Opantish – Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment and Assault to intervene in the spiralling cases of sexual violence against women in the square. The group members often risked assault themselves and Yasmin was also one of their organisers.

El-Rifae's book Radius: A Story of Feminist Revolution tells the story of a movement that mobilized in Egypt to protect female protesters from mob sexual attacks in 2012 and 2013. Based on interviews with friends and comrades, the book explores memory, truth, gender, violence, political organizing, trauma, and possible futures. Show Notes You can order the book directly from @VersoBooks. Read an excerpt at Granta. The book launches October 24 in New York City; there will also be events in Philadelphia and D.C.  Follow Yasmin for updates about more events at @yasminelrifae.

One of the most pernicious, yet subtle, ideologies contributing to the disintegration of the normal nuclear family has been the rise of feminism and its evolution into neo-feminism. Marriages crumble. Children suffer. And women lose. The Left extols the virtues of stripping women of God-given, sex-linked traits -- replacing them with roles and behaviors that are biologically unnatural. The movement is part of a decades-long campaign to push us human beings into living an artificial existence. Mike Slater and guests reveal the motivations and long-game of those who seek to harm society, and how we can resist the temptation to pursue the wrong path.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

About the Episode:American women visit more doctors, have more surgery, and fill more prescriptions than men. In Everything Below the Waist, Jennifer Block looks at the stories behind some scary stats to question why one third of mothers give birth by major surgery; roughly half of women lose their uterus to hysterectomy; and life expectancy of women are declining relative to women in other high-income countries, and relative to the generation before them.

Eva calls upon us to look deeply at what society means, and what principles it was founded on, and consequently, what we have let go of. Our society works best when we embrace the social principles it was built upon, not cut them from the way we operate. A lot of the things women are angry about now have been exacerbated by our society shifting toward a neo-liberal model over the last 50 years, so what will it take to change it?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an In-depth Interview with Feminist Lawyer, Activist and Media Personality Linda Silver Dranoff - Author of Fairly Equal: Lawyering the Feminist Revolution

In episode 54 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews the LEGENDARY artist Howardena Pindell !!!! [This episode is brought to you by Alighieri jewellery: www.alighieri.co.uk | use the code TGWA at checkout for 10% off!] Working across a variety of mediums, from painting to film, and who has employed a range of unconventional materials, such as glitter to talcum powder; since the late 1960s, Howardena Pindell has examined a wide range of subject matter, from the personal, historical, political and social for her highly important and activistic like work that deals with racism, feminism, violence and exploitation. Born in 1943 in Philadelphia, Pindell first studied painting at Boston University and later Yale University, and upon graduating, accepted a job in the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books at the Museum of Modern Art, where she remained for 12 years, from 1967 to 1979. A co-founder of the pioneering feminist A.I.R Gallery, Pindell is also a professor at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, where she has been since 1979.  Renowned early works include her mesmeric and labour intensive, pointillist paintings of the 1970s, created by spraying paint through a template, and Free, White and 21, a video made in 1980 in which the artist plays herself and, wearing a mask, a white woman, whose conversation relays Pindell’s own experiences of racism, which was first shown at artist Ana Mendieta’s curated exhibition at AIR in 1980.  Currently the subject of a major exhibition right now at New York’s The Shed, a show examining the violent, historical trauma of racism in America and the therapeutic power of artistic creation, other recent museum solo exhibitions have included at the MCA Chicago, Rose Museum, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, as well as an upcoming exhibition at Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge.  Pindell has also featured in recent landmark group exhibitions such as the touring Soul of a Nation: Art in the age of Black Power, We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965–1985 at the Brooklyn Museum, and WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution, at LACMA. Among many many others.  Addressing important subjects that continue to educate people around the world, when asked about her viewers Howardena recently said in an interview, “I want them to look at the hidden history instead of the history we were taught”. And that is why we are so lucky to have her work out on the world stage, and I couldn't be more delighted to be speaking with her today. ENJOY!!!

Back in action for episode 7! This episode isn’t Pod Save America (we do love those guys), but we do talk about politics. We don’t think it’s a trigger warning, but if you’re tired of it all stick around for some sweet art history. Tay covers the Black Arts Aesthetic Movement, and the bad ass women who lead the way after WWII. Jay might freak out a little when she realizes Faith Ringgold and Betye Saar are involved.

On this episode of the en(gender)ed podcast, our guest is Jennifer Block, journalist and author of the book, Everything Below the Waist:  Why Health Care Needs a Feminist Revolution.  We speak with Jennifer today about the ways in which the health industry--from preparation and trainings of doctors, to research devoted to understanding women's bodies, to the dismissal of women's pain--contribute to a culture where women's health is systemically ignored and minimized, and women's trauma, in response, collectively normalized and accepted.  We explore what it means to be a woman navigating our culture who centers her own health, well-being and care, and the obstacles she encounters and must overcome everyday. During our conversation, Jennifer and I referenced the following resources and topics: The book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler Actress Lena Dunham's struggle with endometriosis and subsequent decision to get a hysterectomy How the incentive structure for surgeons working on women's issues impacts the trends in frequency for procedures and outcomes for women's health The phenomenon of "unwarranted variation in care" for pregnant women depending on the hospital you visit How obstetric violence is physically and emotionally harming women and threatening our right to make decisions about our labor and delivery The Alabama case of Caroline Malatesta whose baby's head was forced back into her vagina to prevent her from delivering The 95 felony charges against midwife, Elizabeth Caitlin, for practicing midwifery without a NYS license Increased maternal mortality rates for Black women in NYS How Black babies are 3x more likely to die when treated by a white doctor Some ways ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment will equalize access to health care for women Our Bodies Ourselves, by the Boston Women's Health Book Collective A New View of a Woman's Body, by the Federation of Women's Health Centers --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!

Join me for my conversation with journalist Jennifer Block, author of Pushed: The Painful Truth About Childbirth and Modern Maternity Care and Everything Below the Waist: Why Health Care Needs a Feminist Revolution. Jennifer recently found herself at the center of a social media storm over an article she wrote for Scientific American titled "Doctors Are Not Gods." We talk about why she wrote this article and the controversy it created, as well as the state of women's health in a medical system that is often closed to the alternatives women are seeking.

This week, Comrade Zoya is on Red Library to bring that Marxist feminist fire by talking about Shulamith Firestone's The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution. This is one of those books that got lost to history but deserves a second look and maybe even a second life. We talk about the lost futures of second-wave feminism, the relationship between science fiction and utopia, the relationship between Marxism and feminism and the ways that scientific development opened up new possibilities for redefining gender and the basic structures of capitalism. This episode is especially relevant for thinking about how historical issues of gender inequality in the Leftosphere are still plaguing movements today. Zoya and I talk briefly about the Marxist concept of reification in this episode. It can be a tough thing to grasp so here is some more information on it for anyone that hasn't memorized every concept in the entire Marxist theoretical edifice: In Marxism, reification (German: Verdinglichung, literally: "making into a thing") is the process by which social relations are perceived as inherent attributes of the people involved in them, or attributes of some product of the relation, such as a traded commodity. This implies that objects are transformed into subjects and subjects are turned into objects, with the result that subjects are rendered passive or determined, while objects are rendered as the active, determining factor. Hypostatization refers to an effect of reification which results from supposing that whatever can be named, or conceived abstractly, must actually exist, an ontological and epistemological fallacy. The concept is related to, but distinct from, Marx's theories of alienation and commodity fetishism. Alienation is the general condition of human estrangement. Reification is a specific form of alienation. Commodity fetishism is a specific form of reification. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Click here to subscribe to Red Library on iTunes  Click here to support Red Library on Patreon Click here to find the host's political theory blog, Capillaries: Theory at the Front
