Documentarian Selina Miles has crafted a filmography that gives space to women's voices and stories. From her debut feature, Martha: A Picture Story, which took us into the world of street art, to the stunning Harley & Katya which explored the relationship between figure skaters Harley Windsor and Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya, to her latest film, Silenced, which urges audiences to listen to the voices of women from around the world who have been victims of sexual violence, advocates for victims, or lawyers representing many women around the world, seeking justice in an unjust legal system. Women like Brittany Higgins, Amber Heard, journalist and activist Catalina Ruiz-Navarro, and lawyers and human rights advocates like Jennifer Robinson and Sibongile Ndashe, each speak to their experience of fighting through legal systems that seek to silence and dehumanise their experiences.While we hear from these women, there are countless others whose stories inform Silenced, but through legal measures or fear of further legal action, they simply cannot or are not able to talk about their stories.There's an immediacy to Silenced, one that feels as alarming and devastating when you look at the statistics of violence against women in Australia alone. At time of recording, 49 women in Australia have been killed so far this year. A recent report from the University of Melbourne found that 'young people are significantly more likely than older generations to hold hostile attitudes towards women'. This is not an isolated issue. It is a wide reaching issue that sits with all men to address.Gender based violence across the globe is rising, and as we see in Silenced, the path to legal justice is one that's fraught with difficulties, disbelief, and personal costs that often leave the women undertaking legal proceedings in more precarious and difficult situations. For some women, they feel that remaining silent would have been the better option.Silenced is a towering work of emotionality and strength. It's a testament to the resilience of those who experience gender based violence and the support given to them as they move through legal proceedings and attempt to get their lives back to some point of normalcy. This is, quite simply, vital filmmaking.In the following interview, producer Blayke Hoffman talks about the importance of a film like Silenced, how she navigated the legal pathways through making the film, while also talking about the films impact campaign and the Q&A sessions being held around Australia from 1 September onwards.

This week I'm joined by Professor Sophie Scott, neuroscientist, stand-up comedian and Deputy Director of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, and someone who has dedicated her career to one of the most underrated forces in human life, laughter.We explore the science of laughter, why it matters more than we think, and what it is actually doing to our brains, our bodies and our relationships.Professor Sophie Scott is a Fellow of the Royal Society and one of the UK's leading voices on the neuroscience of laughter and communication. She has been named among the UK's top 100 scientists and is known for making complex science accessible and joyful including through her own stand-up comedy. She has spent decades studying why humans laugh, when we laugh and what happens in the brain when we do.What we explore together:-Why laughter is a social behaviour first and a response to humour second -What rats, chimpanzees and cows can teach us about why we laugh -What laughter actually does to the brain and body and why it is so good for us -Why we are 30 times more likely to laugh with other people than alone -The difference between fake laughter and real laughter and how your brain knows the difference -Why laughter is one of the most powerful tools we have for connection and resilience -What stand-up comedy taught a neuroscientist about human behaviourLove, Sarah Ann

What do divine feminine and masculine energy have to do with Jesus Christ, the gospel, and becoming one? In this deep dive, Meghan Farner explores: What is divine feminine energy? What is healthy divine masculine energy? And how can balancing masculine and feminine transform our understanding of repentance, healing, and spiritual growth?Drawing from Restoration scripture, ancient wisdom traditions, temple symbolism, and Christian mysticism, Meghan explores the law of polarity (or opposition) and the ancient “law of gender”—which she reframes as the law of masculine and feminine, or the law of creation.Rather than treating masculine and feminine as simple opposites—or equating feminine with women and masculine with men—Meghan proposes that each person carries both. The feminine represents creativity, intuition, receptivity, transformation, divine connection, and the full spectrum of possibility. The masculine brings orientation, boundaries, stability, intentionality, protection, and execution.What happens when these energies become wounded or distorted? And what might change when the divine feminine and masculine are healed and brought into inner union?This episode connects these ideas to the natural man and true divine self, repentance and metanoia, Jesus Christ as an embodiment of masculine and feminine wholeness, LDS temple symbolism, becoming Zion, and the Gospel of Thomas teaching to “make the two one.”Could becoming one in Christ begin with reconciling what has been divided within ourselves?00:00 - Hidden Wisdom Welcome and Divine Masculine & Feminine Introduction04:20 - Is Divine Feminine and Masculine the Key to Living the Gospel?05:58 - Hermetic Laws: Polarity, Gender, and Spiritual Growth06:31 - The Law of Opposition: Why Opposites Create Wholeness08:06 - The Law of Creation: Masculine and Feminine Beyond Polarity10:16 - Masculine and Feminine Energies in Every Person13:37 - Feminine Energy: Intuition, Creativity, Vision, and Transformation15:43 - Masculine Energy: Boundaries, Execution, Stability, and Safety18:53 - Healthy and Unhealthy Feminine Energy: Responsiveness vs. Reactivity22:20 - Healthy and Unhealthy Masculine Energy: Orientation vs. Control25:29 - Full Spectrum Feminine Energy and Grounded Masculine Focus28:54 - Healing the Natural Man Through Inner Masculine and Feminine Balance30:11 - Healthy Feminine Energy: Abundance, Beauty, Trust, and Rebirth33:12 - Healthy Masculine Energy: Purpose, Integrity, and Spiritual Direction35:45 - The Natural Man and the True Divine Self38:32 - Jesus Christ as the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine Archetype40:49 - Inner Marriage, Oneness in Christ, and Becoming Zion42:44 - Temple Symbolism and the Union of Masculine and Feminine43:24 - Gospel of Thomas, Metanoia, and the Path to Wholeness46:57 - Becoming Sons and Daughters of God: Closing Reflection#DivineFeminine #DivineMasculine #MasculineAndFeminine #JesusChrist #ChristianMysticism #LDS #Restoration #LDSTheology #TempleSymbolism #SpiritualAwakening #SpiritualGrowth #DivineFeminineEnergy #MasculineEnergy #FeminineEnergy #Metanoia #GospelOfThomas #ChristianSpirituality #BecomingOne #HiddenWisdom Continue Your JourneyIf this episode resonated with you, there are several ways to go deeper:

Helen Watson is a traveller, writer, and conservationist based in the Scottish Highlands. Born in Scotland and raised in Switzerland, she has always been drawn to adventures that are both physically and culturally challenging. In 2009, shortly after completing her PhD, Helen and her husband Ed set off on an extraordinary bicycle journey from Scotland to China. Over the course of a year, they cycled 15,000 kilometres across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and China, following sections of the ancient Silk Road and relying on paper maps, curiosity, and the kindness of strangers. The journey took them through countries including Syria, Iran, and the Central Asian 'Stans', where they experienced incredible hospitality and forged meaningful connections with people from vastly different cultures and backgrounds. The trip would later inspire Helen's first book, Tea and Grit: A Bicycle Journey along the Silk Road, published in January 2026. In this episode, Helen shares the spark behind the adventure, the logistics of planning a long-distance cycle journey, and the realities of life on the road. We discuss what it means to become comfortable with discomfort, the privileges and challenges of travelling as a woman, and how her experiences in Syria took on a new significance in the years that followed during the refugee crisis. Helen also reflects on the importance of storytelling, why she felt compelled to write her book, and the lessons she has learned from a life shaped by travel, endurance, and human connection. Listen to this episode to hear about cycling 15,000km along the Silk Road, the generosity of people across cultures, and why stepping just outside your comfort zone can lead to the most transformative adventures. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"Talking to your kids about sex is a lot scarier than it used to be. It's always been uncomfortable for most parents, and is often a topic danced around or ignored completely. But the stakes for our kids are too high to ignore how changing cultural messages are affecting our kids.Amber Garrett Carroll knows all about this, and has been devoting her life to helping not only her kids, but all kids - by offering training and resources for parents. As a single mom, co-parenting with an ex-husband who came out as gay, she's aware of how many complex situations kids are exposed to. Sexuality (in general), same-sex attraction, and gender incongruence are some of the topics impacting kids even before they're out of elementary school. Amber has been working for over a decade with a nonprofit organization called EQUIP (see Episode 46 with EQUIP's director, Pieter Valk), and has written a parent training course to offer parents a deep familiarity with God's wisdom for sexual stewardship for all people, and to provide practical guides for age-appropriate conversation with kids, broken down by age group.Amber has also recently published a book for parents called Ready to Talk: A Christian Parent's Guide to Gender and Sexuality. This extremely practical book offers what so many Christian families have lacked: a clear roadmap for discipling kids in today's culture.Amber lives in Nashville, TN with her two kids.#ambergarrettcarroll #ambercarroll #equip #equipyourcommunity #vocationalsingleness #christiansingleness #lgbt #gaychristian #parenting #sexeducation #gender #genderincongruence #sexaddiction #healing #recovery #grace #gospel #transformationEQUIP's web siteAmber's author websiteFree Parent PackPurchase Ready to Talk Support the showAwaken websiteRoots Retreat Men's IntensiveRoots Retreat Women's WorkshopAwaken Men & Women's support meeting info (including virtual)

Gender-based violence affects nearly 1 in 3 women in their lifetime.  Beyond the trauma it causes, it is also a huge drain on the economy. UN Women estimates that GBV costs countries about $1.5 trillion per year, or approximately 2% of global GDP.  But greater financial security and autonomy can help protect women from violence.  In season 10 of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, we examine what it would take to end gender-based violence. Host Reena Ninan and reporters around the world talk to changemakers and thought leaders about the most effective strategies for reducing GBV, including economic security, prevention programs, engaging allies, and curbing online harassment.  The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is a podcast from Foreign Policy, supported this season by the Ford Foundation.

Through strategic volunteering, networking, and workforce development leadership, she became passionate about helping military spouses recognize their value and confidently pursue meaningful opportunities.But she realized military spouses needed more than job resources alone.

In part Two of this weeks episode of So Shameless, the crew gets into dating, gender roles, friendship boundaries and what actually counts as disrespect when you're in a relationship. Should men be expected to handle the traditionally masculine things while women handle the feminine things in a relationship—or are those expectations outdated? We also debate whether men ruin friendships with women by eventually wanting sex, and whether a woman planning AND paying for the third date is showing healthy interest or doing way too much, way too soon. Plus, do men take women who are constantly dating different people seriously when it comes time to choose a relationship? Paris opens up about her history of dating the “fun guys”—men who are into clubs, bars, cars, clothes and the lifestyle—and whether choosing excitement over stability may have been working against her. Then we get into social media relationship boundaries: Is a man liking other women's pictures on Instagram harmless, or is it disrespectful to his relationship? Finally, the crew reacts to Funky Dineva's controversial comments about parents bringing autistic children into public spaces where people have a “reasonable expectation of peace,” including restaurants and airplanes—and whether expecting that kind of “peace” in a shared public space is reasonable in the first place. Dating expectations. Gender roles. Friendship. Social media. Relationship boundaries. And another conversation where the cast of So Shameless and their guests probably aren't going to agree on anything. Enjoy!

The psychedelic renaissance is here — money is pouring in, states are legalizing, and a federal executive order has fast-tracked ibogaine research for veterans. But if you're a conservative, a skeptic, or just politically homeless, is there room for you in this movement? In this episode I welcome back therapist Karen King (last heard in episodes 81 and 97) alongside her co-author Wesley Smith, a small-c conservative who stumbled into psychedelics through a paragliding accident. Together they've written Sensible Psychedelics: Why the Psychedelic Renaissance Needs Conservatives, Skeptics, and the Politically Homeless.We dig into what Karen witnessed firsthand in the very first therapist training cohort: a week spent dismantling privilege and naming genders rather than discussing consciousness, clinical skills, or facilitation. We talk about why that ideological capture isn't just annoying — it's dangerous. When a patient's mind is cracked wide open in a psychedelic state, a facilitator who imprints their own politics is committing something close to abuse. Wesley shares the veterans angle, where an anti-colonial culture hopes to turn warriors into pacifists.But this isn't a cynical conversation. We explore the genuine healing psychedelics can offer — Karen's work helping a dying woman conquer her fear of death, Wesley's reconciliation with his late father — and ask the questions this movement keeps avoiding: Why does psychedelic culture skew so far left? Where are the liberals whose journeys made them more curious about people they'd dismissed? And can a self-regulating, transparent ecosystem — maybe even one built around churches — grow up outside the captured certification boards?Are you an ROGD parent looking to do some deep, inner work for healing? A trusted friend has a special small-group offering called “Parents Heal Together” which might be a good fit for you.

The former founder of a multidisciplinary behavioral health clinic, she specializes in contemplative and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. With Wesley Smith, she co-authored the forthcoming Sensible Psychedelics: Why the Psychedelic Renaissance Needs Conservatives, Skeptics, and the Politically Homeless, which explores how psychedelics can bridge cultural divides rather than deepen them. Find her therapy practice at NewMindTherapy.com. Karen also hosts the Nuanced Therapist Network, a private, vetted community for heterodox therapists.Wesley Smith is a “small c” conservative psychonaut and writer working to bring the psychedelic renaissance out of the counterculture and into the living rooms of average Americans. After a head injury led him to explore nontraditional paths for healing, he found that psychedelics can deepen the values conservatives hold dear — faith, family, duty, and personal responsibility. His co-authored case in Sensible Psychedelics pairs evidence-based research with a culturally grounded argument for humility, gratitude, and moral clarity.[00:00:00] Start[00:03:15] Trump's Executive Order and State Psychedelic Laws[00:06:57] A Conservative's Accidental Path to Psychedelics[00:14:45] Karen's Path Through Ketamine-Assisted Therapy[00:18:50] Ideological Capture in Psychedelic Training[00:21:52] Imprinting Values, Vulnerability, and Veterans[00:29:07] Ketamine Case Study and Personal Growth[00:35:56] Why the Psychedelic World Skews Left[00:44:52] How Psychedelics Broadened Wesley's Empathy[00:48:33] Therapy as Dismantling Civilization[00:52:23] Regulation, Transparency, and Psychedelic ChurchesROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

What do you actually have to believe to be saved by God? It is one of the most anxious questions a Christian can quietly carry, and Pastor Brian gives one of the clearest answers we have ever heard him offer. The bar is small enough for a child. And a dying criminal on a cross next to Jesus already cleared it.This sermon wraps up an August teaching series at Alliance Church on how to read the Bible well. Pastor Brian's final rule is deceptively simple. Interpret Scripture with the bride of Christ. In other words, do not read your Bible in isolation. The Holy Spirit lives in every believer, and 2,000 years of the church has been listening to him. Church history is not authoritative, but it matters. As Charles Spurgeon put it, it is odd that some Christians who talk so much about what the Holy Spirit reveals to them think so little of what he has revealed to others.The heart of this teaching is a framework you will not forget. Three buckets.Bucket one is what you must believe to be saved. He points to Luke 23 and the thief on the cross. That criminal believed three things. Jesus is King of the afterlife, so God. I deserve death for my sins. And Jesus is the innocent one I am staking my whole eternity on. Jesus told him, today you will be with me in paradise. Whatever fits in bucket one has to be small enough for a child to grasp.Bucket two is core doctrine. Big impact on how you see God, yourself, and others. The Trinity. The person and power of the Holy Spirit. Sanctification. Traditional marriage. Gender. How you gather with other believers. Not required for the moment of salvation, but if a sheep does not know the Shepherd's voice on the things 2,000 years of the church has clearly landed on, at best it is ignorance and at worst it is pride. That is John 10 language.Bucket three is what Paul in Romans 14 calls disputable matters. End times specifics. Certain spiritual gifts debates. Chick fil A versus Popeyes. Important, yes. But not first tier. Paul's rule for these is not to prove you are right or pretend everyone is right. It is to accept the one whose faith is weaker without quarreling, and to aim for harmony and building each other up (Romans 14:17).Pastor Brian closes with a story about a Wesleyan friend who believed drinking alcohol was always sin. Brian disagreed theologically, but pulling that man into his life made his own faith stronger, not weaker.If you have ever felt anxious about salvation, frustrated by Christian infighting, or unsure how to sort the essential from the debatable, this teaching from Pastor Brian will settle a lot of things.

Taiwanese cinema is internationally celebrated for the auteurs of the Taiwan New Cinema. Yet over the past fifteen years, ghosts, demons, curses and haunted screens have become increasingly prominent, turning horror from a marginal genre into an important strand of Taiwan's popular cinema. Professor Corrado Neri's new book, Taiwanese Horror Cinema in the 21st Century: Spectral Narratives and Screen Culture (Anthem Press, 2026), explores this transformation. Neri argues that Taiwanese horror has reached a new stage of maturity: it is now an established industrial category, has diversified across genres and media, and has developed a sophisticated capacity to address Taiwan's social, historical and technological anxieties. The book also launches the new short book series, ‘Anthem Impact in Asian Media, Cinema and Communications'. In this podcast conversation, Dr Ming-yeh Rawnsley talks with Professor Neri about what Taiwanese horror can tell us about Taiwan itself. Their discussion moves from ghosts and folklore to democracy, historical memory, digital culture and changing understandings of identity. Themes include: Why horror? – how a once-marginal genre became an important part of Taiwanese cinema. Taiwan as a ‘Ghost Nation' – why ghosts offer powerful ways of thinking about Taiwan's contested history and identity. Horror, democracy and historical memory – how liberalisation opened new possibilities for confronting difficult histories, notably the White Terror in Detention. Religion, folklore and the supernatural – how beliefs, rituals and local legends provide filmmakers with distinctive cultural resources. Digital ghosts – how smartphones, social media, gaming and screen culture have transformed haunting. Gender, sexuality and queer horror – how films such as Marry My Dead Body use supernatural conventions to explore changing social identities. Taiwan within Asian horror cinema – how Taiwanese filmmakers engage with regional traditions while developing recognisably local forms. One of the book's most compelling arguments is that the supernatural provides a productive language for exploring Taiwan's relationship with its past and present. Detention transforms the political violence of the White Terror into a spectral landscape of memory, guilt and historical reckoning. The Tag-Along, The Rope Curse and Incantation bring folklore and ritual into contact with cameras, smartphones and social media. Taiwanese horror is also transmedial. Detention moved from video game to feature film, television series and novel; The Bridge Curse and Incantation have extended into gaming, while The Tag-Along has expanded into webtoon and virtual reality. Horror thus forms part of a wider creative ecosystem in which cinema intersects with digital media, popular culture and Taiwan's cultural-content industries. Taiwanese horror therefore deserves attention beyond horror enthusiasts or film specialists. These films frighten, surprise and sometimes make audiences laugh, but their ghosts also carry history. They negotiate memories of authoritarianism and democratisation, questions of gender and sexuality, and move between temples, cinemas, video games and smartphone screens. The ghosts haunting contemporary Taiwanese cinema are rarely just ghosts. They offer another way of asking questions about Taiwan: how the past survives in the present, how identities are continually remade, and how a rapidly changing society chooses to remember—and imagine—itself. Dr Ming-yeh T. Rawnsley is a Research Associate at the Centre of Taiwan Studies, SOAS University of London, and a host for the New Books Network. She is also a co-editor (with Professor Gary Rawnsley) of the short book series, ‘Anthem Impact in Asian Media, Cinema and Communications'. Learn more about your ad choices.

Medaya Ocher and Eric Newman speak with Susan Stryker about her new book Changing Gender. Part cultural history, part grammar lesson, and part memoir, Changing Gender confronts not only the long historical slipperiness of gender and identity in U.S. culture, but also the ways in which the very language we use to describe and understand gender becomes a cultural battleground for meaning and identity. Stryker discusses the relatively recent origins of our thinking about "gender," the ways that thinking has been misunderstood and misappropriated for political skirmishes, and the difficulty of pinning down exactly what we're talking about when we talk about gender.

Were women in the past completely uneducated — or worse, cruelly denied any meaningful opportunity to receive an education by their parents and society at large? Some modern scholars say so, but in this "back-to-school" edition of Rachel's Trivia Challenge, the Lutheran Ladies are revisiting key literary sources as they not only explore the history of women's education but also investigate whether the prevailing narrative of our day is truly just to those who came before us.   With questions drawn from Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and other notable authors writing in and about their own times, this quiz will tickle the minds of literary mavens and education enthusiasts alike — even though, in the end, it may raise as many questions as it answers.   Sources referenced in this episode include ...  Gender in Cultural History: Gender and Education  Luther on education: arnold__lut_33_3.pdf  Martin Luther and female education. - Free Online Library  Martin Luther: A Sermon on Keeping Children in School (1530)  William Shakespeare, Much Ado about Nothing  Phillis Wheatley | The Poetry Foundation  Poems, by Phillis Wheatley   The Old Deluder Satan Act: deluder.html  Quote by Jane Austen: “It is amazing to me," said Bingley, "How young ...”  Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice; Mansfield Park   Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre  Social History of American Education | Education | Research Starters | EBSCO Research  The story of female education in the US: from illiterate to top of the class | World Economic Forum  ERIC - ED119389 - A History of Compulsory Education Laws.

The Hermetic Law of Gender and the conscious versus subconscious mind explain why most men send contradictory signals without realizing it, and this episode breaks down the exact mechanics behind it. Paul Bauer covers why a passing thought changes nothing, why real internal coherence reads as genuine while performed confidence doesn't, how quantum electrodynamics backs up an idea that's thousands of years old, and why most men are only using half their available creative power.VIDEOS TO WATCH NEXT:Watch this playlist to figure out how to fix your failing marriage: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPuu_G8-sTLS7eXT7myvidMFWatch this playlist to help you get over your ex for good: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPsZ9JCTSAIkin-oMnavqNJZWatch this playlist to develop an unshakable frame and take control of your life: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPvgN8idHfGfOp3gA8Y0tMxT&si=NccZ6koKYz3hSuUz--------------------------------------------FREE EBOOKS➡️ She's Made You Weak: https://ebook.fixdeadbedrooms.com➡️ Fine...

So, after running through three seasons of GoT:HotD in four days we got all kinds of fever dream takes on deck. From how certain houses…'keep it in the family' to what it means to have Black and Brown people so much more present throughout the fabric of this high fantasy. Aisha names the real-life political parallels she saw while binging and Mike highlights a potential sneak diss aimed at George RR Martin in the show.From the many twists, turns, scandals, and betrayals to the fact that Targaryans have white hair and Black names - we're swinging for the fences here. How is HBO keeping up with the dragon VFX budget in this economy? Why are Aemon and Daemon the exact same person? What the heck happened to Rhena's hair and why didn't someone get her a loctician asap?

I'm delighted to bring you a midlife metabolic health masterclass for women today, with experts Dr. Yael Joffe, Dr. Ben Bikman, Dr. Lara Briden, Dr. Felice Gersh, and Dr. Alexandra Sowa. In this masterclass, our panel of experts explores how women's metabolisms change in perimenopause, how our fat cells change with age, and how those changes influence our estrogen, insulin, and body composition. We examine how muscle, estrogen, and satiety mechanisms can improve or worsen metabolic health, the roles of aging, stress, inflammation, and ovarian health, and how body changes become metabolic risks. Join us for today's impactful masterclass with our insightful panel of metabolic health experts. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why the amount of body fat you carry does not necessarily determine your metabolic health How declining estrogen during menopause can change where women store their body fat Why women have to work harder to maintain and build muscle as estrogen declines in perimenopause and menopause How women can continue building muscle at any age Why progesterone is not only a reproductive hormone or something prescribed to protect the uterine lining The changes women may experience as their estradiol and progesterone production declines in midlife What women considering GLP-1 medications for menopausal weight gain should look at, beyond the number on the scale How to support your gut health and manage gastrointestinal symptoms when taking a GLP-1 The factors Dr. Joffe takes into account when evaluating women during their menopausal transition Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

After a small business in Nantucket posted a “no influencers” sign in its store, some creators accused those with anti-influencer sentiments of sexism. Culture journalist Kat Tenbarge explores how the term “influencer” has long been used to belittle and dismiss women creators, and why male creators often avoid the same scrutiny.

Gaby Dijkstra is an outdoor enthusiast, solo traveller, and researcher with a passion for remote mountain environments. Whether climbing, skiing, or paragliding, she feels most at home in the mountains and has travelled to all seven continents, breaking barriers as a solo female adventurer. After years of working in education and girl empowerment projects, Gaby became increasingly curious about the construct of gender and how societal expectations shape our behaviours, opportunities, and experiences. This curiosity ultimately led her to pursue a PhD at Rotterdam School of Management, designing her own research project to investigate the role of gender in extreme environments. In 2024, Gaby spent 191 days in the Himalayas, including 132 days living on the mountains, conducting fieldwork during a full climbing season in Nepal. Her research explored the role of gender in the extreme mountaineering industry, particularly among the people who work and operate in these challenging environments. Along the way, she joined a commercial expedition to climb Ama Dablam, visited the Khumbu Icefall and the Manaslu region, and was invited to take part in an exclusive winter expedition to Annapurna I. Through interviews, observations, and lived experience, Gaby gathered what she describes as "a mountain of data" on how gender norms continue to shape the culture of mountaineering. In this episode, Gaby shares what she learned from her time in the Himalayas, why the traditional heroic narrative of mountaineering can be harmful to both men and women, and how understanding gender as a social construct can help us rethink leadership, decision-making, and belonging in extreme environments. Listen to this episode to learn about conducting a PhD in one of the world's most challenging landscapes, the hidden gender dynamics within the mountaineering industry, and why talking to other women and pursuing your curiosities can open doors to entirely new adventures. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Today I am delighted to talk with Professor Malini Johar Schueller about her new book, Teaching Solidarity: Critical Race Reading recently published by the University of California Press. We talk about the long history of anti-racist education and the attacks on it by the Right. In particular, we look at the onslaught of federal and state repression since the first Trump regime, and conservative incursions onto campuses take the form of surveillance of syllabi, classrooms, public events, and the establishing of conservative centers. We finish by talking about what Schuller calls critical race reading, a manner of presenting and discussing texts that develops an understanding of structural violence, and critical ways of engaging with literature that enables civil and political engagement. We press the point that these attacks, instrumentalizing the idea of student “discomfort,” severely underestimate students' hunger for knowledge and their ability to withstand so-called discomfort in the search for truth. Malini Johar Schueller is a professor in the Department of English at the University of Florida.  She is the faculty advisor for Students for Justice in Palestine and was the advisor for Jewish Voice for Peace and is a member of the organizing collective for the United States Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.  She is the author of several books including U.S. Orientalisms: Race, Nation, and Gender in Literature, 1790–1890 (1998), Locating Race: Global Sites of Post-Colonial Citizenship (2009), and Campaigns of Knowledge: U.S. Pedagogies of Colonialism and Occupation in the Philippines and Japan (2019).  She has co-edited Exceptional State: Contemporary US Culture and the New Imperialism (2007) and Dangerous Professors: Academic Freedom and the National Security Campus (2009). She is the director of an award-winning documentary, In His Own Home (2015) about police brutality and campus militarization, based on an incident at UF is available on amazon prime.  In 2019 she was selected to participate in a Faculty Development Seminar by the Palestinian American Research Council and traveled to the West Bank. Her latest book on activist pedagogy, Teaching Solidarity: Critical Race Reading was published by the University of California Press in April 2026.  Her essays have appeared in scholarly journals as well as in popular publications such as Counterpunch, The Orlando Sentinel, and the Sarasota Herald Tribune.  She teaches courses in comparative settler colonialism, including Palestine and courses in postcolonial theory, Asian American studies, and US imperialism. 

In the 1970s, as women started to enter the labor force in unprecedented numbers, economists began to examine their roles as economic actors. The result was the rise of gender economics, now a major subfield with powerful data and new methods comparing the economic lives of men and women. Yet despite decades of progress, many of the most consequential questions about gender inequality remain unresolved. In How Economics Discovered Women: Bringing Gender Economics into the Twenty-First Century (U California Press, 2026), renowned economist and demographer Dr. Shelly Lundberg argues that the problem is not a lack of evidence but a failure to challenge entrenched economic models and outmoded assumptions about markets and gender that have limited what the field can explain. Why does occupational segregation persist? Why do "women's jobs" pay less? Why are men falling behind in education? And why do policies like paternity leave fail to change behavior? Drawing on more than five decades in the field and integrating insights from other social sciences, Dr. Lundberg explains signs of recent progress and charts a path toward a more realistic, socially grounded economics capable of meeting the challenges of gender inequality today. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

We're re-airing this episode where Allie delivered her long-awaited response to Andy Stanley's LGBTQ sermon at the Unconditional Conference. We go in-depth with what exactly Stanley said in his sermon about Christianity in relation to LGBTQ issues and "identities" and his statement that Rosaria Butterfield and Dr. Christopher Yuan, who have an abundance of wisdom on this topic, have nothing to say to parents struggling with their kids' LGBTQ "identities." But what does Stanley get wrong by claiming that homosexuality is an identity, and why does it matter? We answer these questions and underline one of LGBTQ-affirming Christianity's biggest faults.

Retired Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Justice Elspeth Cypher returns to the podcast (her first appearance was episode 183) to map the legal landscape of the gender turf wars, fought on four major frontiers: prisons, schools, sports, and therapy. As president of the Women's Liberation Front (WoLF), Elspeth walks me through the Chandler case challenging California's SB 132, which eliminated all gatekeeping for men seeking transfer into women's prisons, and the protective orders finally winning women in federal facilities some measure of relief. We discuss the aftermath of Skrmetti, Mahmoud, Chiles, and the BPJ sports ruling — and why a Supreme Court victory on paper doesn't translate smoothly into changed practice on the ground.We also explore how women's speech has been silenced across millennia, from the scold's bridle to modern cancelation; what “radical feminist” means to her; the ethics of surrogacy; the falsification of birth certificates; WoLF's remarkable new executive director, Jasmine Faulk, who escaped Saudi Arabia; the FTC's fraud case against WPATH; and why parental authority has to be established early. This conversation asks: when nearly 200,000 women are incarcerated in facilities an unknown number of men can now enter, who is defending their right to safety, privacy, and dignity?Elspeth B. Cypher retired from the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts in 2024.

Today, we have a metabolic health masterclass, featuring Dr. Robert Lustig, Ben Azadi, Dr. Ben Bikman, Mark Sisson, and Dr. Nick Norwitz.  In today's masterclass, we explore why metabolic dysfunction is not simply a calories-in, calories-out issue or a failure of willpower, how insulin and leptin influence appetite and behavior, how early signs of insulin resistance can appear years before a diabetes diagnosis, and the important relationship between muscle, glucose regulation, and insulin sensitivity. We also discuss how movement supports fat burning without sacrificing muscle, why chronic cardio may not produce the results many people expect, and how emerging technology could provide a far more personalized approach to metabolic care. Stay tuned for today's informative discussion, where our panel of experts shares their valuable perspectives on metabolic health. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Leptin resistance and how it can drive the overeating and inactivity commonly associated with obesity How elevated insulin blocks the effects of leptin Why it's essential to pay attention to fasting insulin rather than waiting for blood glucose to rise  Ben Azadi highlights metabolic health markers that can provide information beyond fasting glucose. How our muscles help to regulate glucose and support insulin sensitivity The importance of building and preserving muscle to support insulin sensitivity as we age, and how even a brief period of inactivity can reduce insulin sensitivity Mark Sisson explains why running may not be the most effective fat loss strategy  How walking can increase your fat-burning capacity while also helping to preserve your muscles Dr. Nick Norwitz explains how type 2 diabetes can involve different underlying pathologies, and how CGM data and machine learning can eventually help to identify specific subphenotypes Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

Who invented gender? Who decided the rules, wrote the script, and convinced us it was all just…nature? Amanda traces the wild history of how gender became a system we call “natural,” “biological,” and “just the way it is.” Then ALOK joins to help us see the game we've been playing without even knowing it—and imagine what becomes possible when we stop mistaking the rules for reality. Together, they discuss the history we've forgotten, the freedom we've been denied, and the beauty, weirdness, and possibility waiting for us outside the boxes. - Why pink was once for boys—and what that reveals about the “natural” rules of gender - How property, inheritance, religion, science, and power helped construct the gender binary - Why attacks on trans people are a threat to everyone's freedom - The difference between fitting into the world and freely inventing your life - Why ALOK says we don't need more great thinkers—we need great lovers For more ALOK on We Can Do Hard Things:  74.
