Podcasts about men explain things

Or not. Because in this episode we delve into some follow-up to last episode's interview with Danielle Strickland. How can we address some of the deep, ingrained attitudes which affect all of us? What does this mean for ideas of femininity and masculinity? And how do we respond to loss of power and prestige without lashing out? Also the boys have had a business meeting in a place called Upham. No, really.

In the midst of President Trump's rapid fire, sweeping, and arguably illegal actions since inauguration day, resistance and protest against the president and his agenda has seemed quieter than at the beginning of his first term. But as the administration continues to take controversial actions on federal funding immigration, and transgender rights, resistance is ramping up in congress, the courts and on the streets. We'll talk to Trump opponents about their strategies and what resistance could look like in this Trump term. And we want to hear from you, what is missing from the Democrat's resistance strategy? Guests: Ezra Levin, co-founder and co-executive director, The Indivisible Project; co-author, Indivisible Guide; former Congressional staffer Rebecca Solnit, writer, newsletter called "Meditations in an Emergency" about politics, language and possibilities; historian; activist; author, more than twenty books that include "Orwell's Roses"; "Recollections of My Nonexistence"; "Hope in the Dark"; and "Men Explain Things to Me."

What is hope and why is it so powerful?  For writer Rebecca Solnit, hope is a commitment to possibility in the face of uncertainty. While many of us react to the unknown with anxiety or worry, Rebecca sees the opposite: that inherent to unpredictable circumstances is the possibility people can take action and to come together to create change.  In this conversation, Rebecca Solnit and the Surgeon General discuss why hope is necessary. They look back at communities formed in response to disasters, like 9/11 and hurricanes, and how hope and connection are inextricably linked. A historian, Solnit points to milestones like the fall of the Berlin Wall in which people's actions, sometimes incremental, led to unforeseen outcomes.  In facing the massive uncertainty of climate change, Solnit offers why she is hopeful. Rather than fall to despair, she points that humans, throughout history, have seen the possibility to intervene and take action. And THAT is what Solnit calls hope.    (04:34)    Why can disasters be so powerful for uniting communities?  (11:16)    Why do some types of disasters bring people more together than others?  (16:55)    How do you advise young people who feel despair about climate change?  (27:21)    How can the way we remember history's great social changes contribute to hope or hopelessness?  (31:28)    How does social media contribute to loneliness and isolation?  (37:45)    Has tech convinced us that living efficiently is more important than living in person?  (47:33)    How does Rebecca Solnit make herself feel better when she gets down?  (48:35)    What does the Surgeon General do to feel better when he is down?  We'd love to hear from you!

In this first week of March, we kick off Women's History Month in conversation with one of the great critical thinkers and writers of our time, Rebecca Solnit. Writer, historian, feminist, and activist, Rebecca's long bibliography epitomizes her wide-ranging humanitarian interests—from politics to cultural geography to environmentalism and an abiding love of the earth herself. In her hands, all of these topics are revelations on our culture's many fault lines and the human actions and responses—from walking, to reading, to traveling or gardening with open minds, eyes, and hearts—that might bridge these fault lines. Rebecca's many books include Wanderlust, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, The Far Away Nearby, Men Explain Things to Me, and Orwell's Roses, “a lush exploration of politics, roses, and pleasure, and a fresh take on George Orwell as an avid gardener whose political writing was grounded [and sometimes refueled] by his passion for the natural world.” While many of Rebecca's titles fall firmly under the purview of the concerns of Cultivating Place, it was her 2021 title, Orwell's Roses, the was the catalyst for my inviting her to be a guest on the program – that and a generous nudge from Maria Popova. Enjoy! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud, iTunes, Google Podcast, and Stitcher. To read more and for many more photos, please visit www.cultivatingplace.com.

Rebecca Solnit has been writing about hope for nearly 20 years, starting with her 2003 essay "Hope in the Dark", which became a bestselling book of the same name. What began as a response to the cynicism that followed the invasion of Iraq ("we didn't stop the war, we have no power, we can't win") has evolved into a sustained argument for the value of protest. You have to take the long view, says Solnit, to see the positive social and political changes that have occurred in the past half-century: “history is full of ruptures and surprises”.In this powerful new essay, specially commissioned for Greta Thunberg's guest edit of the New Statesman, Solnit examines the privilege of “climate despair”. It is easy for those who are safer from the impacts of global heating to surrender, she writes, or to decide that climate action is too difficult or too late; those who are in harm's way – many of them in the Global South – do not have that luxury. Solnit looks at successful protests, from those against the Keystone XL pipeline to undocumented farm workers' fight against McDonald's, and through them makes the case for hope. She writes, too, about how she keeps her own hope alive: “I've learned that the feeling that nothing will change is just mental weather, and that the record is all in favour of change… I try to distinguish between despair as a feeling and a forecast.”Rebecca Solnit is the author of Orwell's Roses, Hope in the Dark, Men Explain Things to Me, and A Field Guide to Getting Lost. She serves on the board of the climate group Oil Change International, and recently launched the climate project Not Too Late (nottoolateclimate.com).This essay originally appeared in a special issue of the New Statesman guest edited by Greta Thunberg and featuring contributors including Margaret Atwood, Amitav Ghosh, Ai Weiwei, Adam McKay and Björk.

Feminismus oder Apokalypse: ‘Die Wand' vs. ‘Z for Zachariah'Dass toxische Männlichkeit uns eines Tages ausrotten könnte, scheint nicht mehr sehr weit hergeholt zu sein. Aber wie nah Apokalypse und Feminismus wirklich beieinander liegen, zeigen ‘Z for Zachariah' (R.C. O'Brien) und ‘Die Wand' (M. Haushofer). In beiden Romanen kämpft jeweils eine Frau, die ganz allein in einer postapokalyptischen Welt zurückgeblieben ist, in einem abgeschiedenen Tal ums Überleben. Und dabei reflektieren beide die verblichene Gesellschaft: welche Rolle sie ihnen zugewiesen hatte, welche Spiele sie selbst mitgespielt haben - von Mutterschaft über den male gaze, den männlichen Blick, bis hin zu Mansplaining. Sich davon endlich frei zu machen und außerdem einen neuen Sinn für ein erfülltes Frauenleben zu finden, das scheint selbst in diesem Kontext schwierig genug. Da braucht es dann wirklich nicht noch finstere Typen, die von außen eindringen, um alles wieder kaputt zu machen und alte Strukturen zu etablieren…Die Studie zur Care-Arbeithttps://www.oxfam.de/unsere-arbeit/themen/care-arbeitDer Essay, der Mansplaining 2008 mit entlarvt hat, ist in dieser Essaysammlung zu finden:Solnit Rebecca, Men Explain Things to Me, Haymarket Books, Chicago, 2014Hier kann man zu Frauen und Wut weiterlesen:Hoeder, Ciani-Sophia, Wut und Böse, Hanser Verlag, München, 2021Die ‘Schriftstellerin aus Notwehr':Krien, Daniela, Die Liebe im Ernstfall, Diogenes, Zürich, 2019Alle Zitate beziehen sich auf:Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, List Taschenbuch, Ullstein Buchverlage GmbH, Berlin, 2004O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, The Simon Pulse Edition, New York, 200708:34Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 221f.09:17O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 24211:35Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 202f.21:39Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 5122:51O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 10431:35O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 4534:20O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 151f.35:33O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 70f.40:19O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 149f.41:40O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 14243:03O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 23143:40O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 3647:00O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 162 & S. 23148:03Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 122f.49:23Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 27554:03Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 9955:46O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 5556:39Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 259 & S. 15157:40Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 73f.58:54Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 23959:38Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 22401:00:00Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 701:00:44O'Brien, Robert C., Z for Zachariah, S. 501:04:42Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 211f.01:05:55Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 18501:08:26Haushofer, Marlen, Die Wand, S. 124 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

When Rebecca Solnit visited the cottage, she discovered the descendants of the roses that he had planted many decades previously. These survivors, as well as the diaries he kept of his planting and growing, provide a springboard for a fresh look at Orwell's motivations and drives -and the optimism that countered his dystopian vision - and open up a profound mediation on our relationship to plants, trees and the natural world.Tracking Orwell's impact on political thought over the last century, Solnit journeys toEngland and Russia, Mexico and Colombia, exploring the political and historical events that shaped Orwell's life and her own. From a history of roses to discussions of climate change and insights into structural inequalities in contemporary society, Orwell's Roses is a fresh reading of a towering figure of 20th century literary and political life, which finds optimism, solace and solutions to our 21st century world.*Rebecca Solnit is author of, among other books, Call Them By Their True Names, The Mother of All Questions, Men Explain Things to Me, Wanderlust, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, the NBCC award-winning River of Shadows and A Paradise Built in Hell.

Amy discusses Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me with guest Malia Morris.Listen to the full episode here.

Amy: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. All of us have heard or used the term “mansplaining” - that thing that happens when a man explains something to you that he assumes you don't know,  when you do  know what you're talking about because of your professional expertise or your own lived experience. These interactions reveal that this man thinks that instead of being your peer he is in a role of your dad or your teacher or your boss. The author Rebecca Solnit published an essay online in 2008 called, “Men Explain Things to Me,” which went viral and has become a touchstone for feminist thinkers and everyday women, and it now appears on many “essential reading” lists, which is why we're discussing it today! This essay inspired the coining of the term “mansplain”, although the essay doesn't say the word and Solnit herself says she doesn't use it. Solnit says she has mixed feelings about the word, as I do I, but before we talk about the word, and about this essay and some others in Solnit's collection, I want to welcome back to the podcast Malia Morris. Hi, Malia!! Malia: Hi, Amy! Amy: Listeners will remember Malia from our very first episode after the introduction, The Chalice and the Blade. So excited to have you back, Malia!! Can you tell us a little bit more about yourself, Malia, maybe review some of your key stats and then tell us a story or anecdote that illustrates who you are? Malia:   Amy: Before we talk about these essays, let's learn a bit about Rebecca Solnit. Malia - Bio: Rebecca Solnit was born in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgeport,_Connecticut (Bridgeport, Connecticut) in 1961, to a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish (Jewish) father and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Catholic (Irish Catholic) mother. When she was 5 years old her family moved to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novato,_California (Novato, California), where she grew up. She said of her childhood: "I was a battered little kid. I grew up in a really violent house where everything feminine and female and my gender was hated.” She enrolled in an alternative junior high in the public school system that took her through tenth grade, and after that she passed the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Educational_Development (General Educational Development) tests and skipped high school altogether. She enrolled in junior college, and then when she was 17, she went to study in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris (Paris). She returned to California to finish her college education at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_State_University (San Francisco State University) and then received a master's degree in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalism (journalism) from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_California,_Berkeley (University of California, Berkeley) in 1984. She has been an independent writer since 1988, and has written many many books and essays, including a memoir in 2020 entitled Recollections of My Nonexistence, and has won several prestigious writing awards.    Amy: So let's talk about these essays. Solnit starts out with a story, so let's start there. She talks about attending a party with her friend Sallie when she was about forty years old, at a cabin-mansion in Aspen that was owned by a wealthy older man. The whole crowd at the party was older and wealthy, and as Rebecca and her friend were preparing to leave the party, the host found them and said “No, stay a little longer so I can talk to you.” He said “So I hear you've written a couple of books,” and she replied that she had written several. And I'll read the rest of the interaction. “He said, in the way you encourage your friend's seven-year-old to describe flute practice, “And what are they about?” They were actually about quite a few different things, the six or seven out by then, but I began to speak only of the most recent on that summer day in 2003, River of...

On episode 191 of The Quarantine Tapes, Paul Holdengräber is joined by Rebecca Solnit. Rebecca and Paul think back to a year ago, nearly to the day, when Rebecca was sharing fairy tales online in the early days of the pandemic. She tells Paul about her upcoming book on George Orwell, Orwell’s Roses, and reflects on what kinds of connections she has seen arise out of the isolation of this past year. Rebecca offers Paul beautiful observations from her walks in nature. As a climate activist, she talks about the interesting implications of this moment of great change for the climate movement and discusses how the work of both activists and artists is to invite people to imagine. Writer, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books on feminism, western and indigenous history, popular power, social change and insurrection, wandering and walking, hope and disaster, including Whose Story Is This?, Call Them By Their True Names (Winner of the 2018 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction), Cinderella Liberator, Men Explain Things to Me, The Mother of All Questions, and Hope in the Dark, and co-creator of the City of Women map, all published by Haymarket Books; a trilogy of atlases of American cities, The Faraway Nearby, A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, Wanderlust: A History of Walking, and River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West (for which she received a Guggenheim, the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism, and the Lannan Literary Award). Her forthcoming memoir, Recollections of My Nonexistence, is scheduled to release in March, 2020. A product of the California public education system from kindergarten to graduate school, she is a columnist at the Guardian and a regular contributor to Literary Hub.

Join acclaimed writers and activists Astra Taylor and Rebecca Solnit as they tackle some of the most pressing social problems of our day. Over the last decade, author and activist Astra Taylor has helped shift the national conversation on topics including technology, inequality, indebtedness, and democracy. Addressing some of the most pressing social problems of our day, Taylor invites us to imagine how things could be different while never losing sight of the strategic question of how change actually happens. Curious and searching, these historically informed and hopeful essays are as engaging as they are challenging and as urgent as they are timeless. Taylor 's unique philosophical style has a political edge that speaks directly to the growing conviction that a radical transformation of our economy and society is required. ---------------------------------------------------- Astra Taylor is a documentary filmmaker, writer, political organizer and author of Remake the World. She is the director, most recently, of "What Is Democracy?" and the author of Democracy May Not Exist, but We'll Miss It When It's Gone and the American Book Award winning The People's Platform: Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age. She is co-founder of the Debt Collective, a union for debtors, and contributed the foreword to the group's new book, Can't Pay, Won't Pay: The Case for Economic Disobedience and Debt Abolition. Writer, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books on feminism, western and indigenous history, popular power, social change and insurrection, wandering and walking, hope and disaster, including Call Them By Their True Names (Winner of the 2018 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction), Cinderella Liberator, Men Explain Things to Me, The Mother of All Questions, and Hope in the Dark, and co-creator of the City of Women map, all published by Haymarket Books; a trilogy of atlases of American cities, The Faraway Nearby, A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, Wanderlust: A History of Walking, and River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West (for which she received a Guggenheim, the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism, and the Lannan Literary Award).

I have been listening to science audio books with my son (7yo) who has really been enjoying them. So far we have listened to the Future of Humanity by Michio Kaku, Astrophysics For Young People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson, and we are currently listening to The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs. Anything else you can recommend? All the bonus points if it deals with robots, space, or is any way speculative. Thanks! -Riad 2. Hello. I promise this isn’t just a word problem in disguise, although it sort of feels that way! I used to have a very long commute to work (over an hour each way), which I made more bearable by listening to non-fiction audiobooks. I now have a much, much shorter commute but miss listening to audiobooks. I use my local library’s app, which allows audiobooks to be checked out for two weeks. Since I’m listening for less than an hour a day, I often can’t finish the books that I borrow in time. Can you recommend some great non-fiction that is around 10 hours long? I really enjoy Oliver Sachs, Mary Roach, Michael Pollan, Bee Wilson, Bill Bryson, and Brene Brown and have already listened to everything by these authors that is available. My favorite topics are social science, psychology, the natural world, and food/cooking. I generally don’t enjoy celebrity memoirs, self-help, and am firmly disinterested in sports. Thank you so much for all of your awesome weekly recommendations-I’ve discovered so many new favorites because of your podcast!  -Brenna 3. Hello! I am writing to you in the hopes that you can point me in the right direction. I was recently surprised when I noticed two books on different topics I was reading started to converge. One book is Bregman’s “Humankind: A Hopeful History” and the other is McGonigal’s “The Joy of Movement”. Despite their apparently dissimilar topics (social psychology and exercise), somehow, these two books converged on the ideas that humans are built for connection and cooperation. And suddenly I know I need more of that. I want more of humans building relationships and working towards common goals. I’ve already read Smith’s “The Power of Meaning” and have Ter Kuile’s “The Power of Ritual” on hold at the library. What else can you recommend? Fiction and non-fiction are both OK. TIA. -Lisa 4. I am 35 years old and single and have recently decided to explore the world of on-line dating…bad idea. No need for details of bad experience but it has created a need in me for a good female powered memoir preferably with focus on body image. I have read a lot of the popular ones already such as the beauty myth, body positive power, the body is not an apology, Men Explain Things to Me, and books by Lindy West, Roxane Gay, Samantha Irby, and Jes Baker. I also just purchased Body Talk and have been reading an essay every morning. Any help with finding a good female strong and feel good book would be greatly appreciated. I love your podcast and thank you!! -Noelle 5. Hi, I always thought I was straight but recently I’ve been feeling more attraction towards women/enbys. I am in a long term relationship with a man whom I love and adore and don’t see that ending anytime soon. Basically, I’m struggling with my sexuality and have no good outlet to explore that now. Books have always been the thing I turn to when I’m trying to process important things. Please recommend adult books (preferably one fiction and one non-fiction) that center on wlw relationships and coming to terms with your sexuality. Bonus points for bi/pan rep or enby rep and bonus points for an older character (not a teen). I love contemporary and literary fiction but would be open to an sff. I have not been loving historical recently.  -JJ 6. I’m a Computer Science teacher in Mexico City. I have been teaching high school students about the science behind the magic of technology for about fifteen years. Also, I’m an avid reader and I believe in the power of books in my students’ academic lives. I’m always looking for books about Computer Science or the history of computers to assign them as extra activities for my class (some students prefer reading books instead of coding, and that’s fine with me as long as they learn). Books in English are not a problem since, although we are a Spanish-speaking country, I work at a bilingual school and they understand English perfectly. We have read books like “The Code Book” by Simon Singh, “The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage” a beautiful graphic novel by Sydney Padua, “Broad Band” by Claire L. Evans, “The Inevitable” by Kevin Kelly, “The Second Machine Age” by Erik Brynjolfsson, “Code Girls” by Liza Mundy, “Zero Day” by Mark Russinovich, and “Life 3.0” by Max Tegmark. I would love to know if you have any recommendations my students and for me. Of course, there are extra points for books about women in tech and the power of diversity and inclusion, since we all need those messages every single day in our current world.  -Rodrigo 7. My mom has begun seeking therapy for chronic depression that I suspect has been with her for a while now. I’m glad she’s seeking professional help, but I also wanted to get her a book to help lift her up a bit. From what she’s confided in me, some of what is contributing to her depression is that a lot of her identity is tied up in feeling needed/useful as a mom. Now that both her daughters are grown, she thinks we don’t need her anymore (entirely untrue, of course) and that she’s not useful as a person. I’m wondering if there are any books out there about older women finding renewed sense of self or dealing with similar issues that she can see herself in. I’m hoping for something uplifting. She also has triggers around harm to children and sexual violence, so if those topics could be avoided, that would be great. Thanks! -Worried Daughter Books Discussed Packing for Mars by Mary Roach (Gulp, Spook, or Grunt) Scatter, Adapt, and Remember by Annalee Newitz Make it Scream, Make it Burn by Leslie Jamison (9 hours 3 minutes) Once Upon a Time I Lived on Mars by Kate Greene (6 hrs 7 min) How We Show Up by Mia Birdsong Northern Light by Kazim Ali (cw: discussion of suicide) Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud by Anne Helen Petersen #VeryFat #VeryBrave by Nicole Byer The Fixed Stars by Molly Wizenberg The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows by Olivia Waite Reset: My Fight for Inclusion and Lasting Change by Ellen Pao Algorithms of Oppression by Safiya Umoja Noble Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed by Lori Gottlieb Book Club When Women Were Birds by Terry Tempest Williams, (cw: attempted assault) 10 Mystery and Thriller Books Starring Older Women Books With Female Protagonists Over 60 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cette semaine, on vous parle d'un concept de plus en plus populaire pour désigner un comportement bien réel : le mansplaining. Vous l'aurez deviné, cette contraction entre « man » et « explain » désigne une situation dans laquelle un homme explique à une femme quelque chose qu'elle sait déjà (ou qu'elle en est même experte!). Ce qui est crucial à retenir c'est que la « mecsplication » survient quand ces explications ne sont PAS sollicitées. Vous comprendrez l'origine du mot, ses nuances et ses implications ainsi que plusieurs exemples de situations vécues.

Here's How to Deal With It" describing the origins of "Imposter Syndrome" and who experiences it- Danielle Page's October 2017 article for NBC entitled "How Impostor Syndrome Is Holding You Back at Work" where "Imposter Syndrome" is further explained- Information on gendered brain differences which influence "Imposter Syndrome" taken from the January 2012 study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information entitled "Sex Differences in Anterior Cingulate Cortex Activation During Impulse Inhibition and Behavioral Correlates"- Please check out our "Feminism 101" suggested reading list here if you're at a loose end for a great read from an incredible female author!

With the US election less than 75 days away, the entire world is watching because the future of the planet is on the ballot. How do we rise in moments like this to be the people this moment needs us to be? How can we face the uncertainty of our future with stubborn optimism to address our greatest challenge, climate change? This week we have a special guest that heavily influenced the idea of "Stubborn Optimism" and the optimistic basis of Christiana and Tom Rivett-Carnac's book, "The Future We Choose." Our guest this week is writer, historian, and activist, Rebecca Solnit. She has authored more than 20+ books on feminism, western and urban history, popular power, social change and insurrection, and hope and catastrophe. Including titles such as "Men Explain Things to Me" and "Hope in the Dark," her non-dualistic mindset and unmatched word-smithing expands our minds and creativity when approaching climate change and the consequential moment we live in. She is quoted as saying, "Hope is embracing radical uncertainty." Yeah. She's good. --- Our musical guest this week is Baaba Maal!

Non-Fictie Boek van de Maand Mei | Spiegeldoolhof van Jia Tolentino In deze vierde aflevering van Radio Savannah worden Lola en Suzanne bijgestaan door superspecial guest Piia Varis. Samen bespreken we het non-fictie boek van de maand mei: Spiegeldoolhof van Jia Tolentino. Het boek is een bestseller in Amerika en Tolentino wordt onthaald als ‘de stem van een generatie’. We lazen het boek en kletsen over haar ‘milennial feminisme.’ Grootste vraag: hoe ziet inclusief feminisme en solidariteit eruit in tijden van social media en laat-kapitalisme? Spiegeldoolhof is een verzameling van negen essays over onderwerpen die uiteenlopen van social media tot religie, van drugs tot reality televisie. In deze aflevering focussen we voornamelijk op de essays 'Internet en ik' en 'De verering van de lastige vrouw'.   De andere zeven essays zijn: 'Mijn realityavontuur', 'Voortdurend optimaliseren', Heldinnen', 'Extase', 'Het verhaal van een generatie in zeven zwendelpraktijken', We Come From Old Virginia' en 'In vrees en tegenspoed'. Feminisme in tijden van het internet Spiegeldoolhof is het eerste boek van Jia Tolentino. Ze schrijft echter al jaren lang teksten voor verschillende websites. Vind haar werk o.a. hier: Voor Jezebel, waar Tolentino was aangesteld als deputy editor, schreef ze teksten over thema's uiteenlopend als  abortie, Britney Spears en online bullying. Voor The Hairpin, schreef Tolentino teksten over populaire cultuur en politiek, waaronder een serie teksten over de protesten in Ferguson in 2014. Momenteel is Tolentino staff writer voor The New Yorker. Ze schrijft recensies, interviews en sociaal commentaar.  Rebecca wie? Roxane hoe? Tolentino wordt in verschillende besprekingen gehuldigd als 'de stem van een generatie' en het boegbeeld voor 'millenialfeminisme'. Zij bouwt hiermee door  op het werk van invloedrijke schrijvers voor haar, waarvan we er een paar benoemen in deze aflevering. Rebecca Solnit schrijft al jaren over verschillende maatschappelijke kwesties, waaronder genderrollen. Haar beroemdste essay is "Men Explain Things to Me," waar we het concept 'mansplaining' aan te danken hebben. Roxane Gay schrijft persoonlijke essays en boeken over haar ervaringen - de goede en de slechte - in het leven als feminist. In Bad Feminist (2014) bespreekt ze de worsteling met haar liefde voor verschillende mysogyne films, boeken en games. Met Hunger (2017) schreef ze een memoire van haar grote lichaam. Hara meest recente boek is Not That Bad (2018), waarin verschillende schrijvers vertellen over hun ervaringen met seksueel overschrijdend gedrag. Naast deze belangrijke figuren uit de recente feministische literatuur, verwijst Tolentino naar verschillende academische bronnen, waaronder: Erving Goffman, schrijver van The Presentation of Self in Erveyday Life (1956) Donna Haraway, schrijver van 'A Cyberg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century" (1985) Lauren Berlant, schrijver van Cruel Optimism (2011) In deze aflevering worden Lola en Suzanne bijgestaan door Piia Varis, kick ass hoofddocent Online Culture aan de universiteit van Tilburg. Zij schrijft over het internet, feminisme en verschillende vormen van diversiteit. Je vindt haar werk op de website van de uni.

CW: Sexual assault and violence against women. If you, or someone you know, has experienced sexual violence, please call the RAINN hotline: 800.656.HOPE (4673). It’s never too late to get help.  It’s no secret that most women live in fear of violence. Nearly every week, there’s a news story showcasing the most gruesome examples of it, like the woman who was killed for jogging in Queens, or the countless number of ‘Rejection Murders’ men commit after a woman says “no.”  This week, author of Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit, joins Ana Marie Cox (@anamariecox) to discuss her new memoir: Recollections of My Nonexistence. Together, they dream of a world where we don’t have to sit our daughters down and give them a never ending list of safety tips. They talk about what it’s like to grow up in our patriarchal culture, where giving those warnings seems more effective than stopping men from committing acts of violence. Finally, Rebecca reminds us that as much as violent and powerful men want to stop our voices, they will not be able to hold us down forever.   Thanks to our sponsors! quip, makers of the quip electric toothbrush wants you to know the one single discovery that matters most for your dental care.

In der 62. Folge der Taschenuschis geht es um Mansplaining, Alltagssexismus und diverse Spielarten davon. Als Gast wurde Benny dazu gebeten, der als Mann vielleicht eine andere Sichtweise hat als seine weiblichen Gesprächspartnerinnen. Welche Erfahrungen haben die Uschis mit Mansplaining gemacht? Handelt es sich dabei wirklich um Sexismus oder wird das Ganze zu sehr aufgebauscht? Wollen Männer den Macker raushängen lassen oder sind sie (und Menschen im Allgemeinen) einfach nur manchmal Arschlöcher? All das und mehr in dieser Episode.

Even if you’ve never heard of Rebecca Solnit, you know who she is. It was Solnit’s 2008 essay at the blog TomDigest that identified the concept we know today as mansplaining. (“Most women fight wars on two fronts, one for whatever the putative topic is and one simply for the right to speak, to have ideas, to be acknowledged to be in possession of facts and truths, to have value, to be a human being.”) But long before Solnit became a patron saint of the extremely online, she was an activist, a historian, a mapmaker, and a prolific author of books on a dizzying breadth of topics: the history of walking (2000’s Wanderlust); the motion-photography pioneer Eadweard Muybridge (2004’s River of Shadows); the emerging evidence of climate change (2018’s Drowned River); and ambient cultural misogyny (2015’s essay collection Men Explain Things to Me). Solnit’s new book of essays, titled Call Them By Their True Names: American Crises (And Essays), connects the Trump administration, economic inequality, Indigenous history, police brutality, and gentrification gracefully, tying them together with meditations on American exceptionalism and the importance of precise language that gets right down to the lived facts of politics. Call Them By Their True Names doesn’t boil over with long-simmering ire on behalf of democracy and social justice, but rather deploys Solnit’s trademark precision, dry wit, and enduring optimism toward an absorbing whole. All the more reason to get her on the phone to talk about the role, and the necessity, of anger in a world that tosses up fresh outrages at least once a day.

We're joined by US Vogue senior editor Chloe Schama to consider The Faraway Nearby by Rebecca Solnit which was Kate's last book club read.

Amanda and Jenn discuss mysteries, all-ages comics, YA fantasy, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Unearthed by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner and Heart on Fire by Amanda Bouchet. Enter our Top 20 of 2017 giveaway here! bookriot.com/bookriottop20 Questions 1. Hey Amanda and Jenn! I'm looking for a good book for my boyfriend. He's never really enjoyed reading but is trying to change that, particularly because his sister and I just gush over books every time we're around each other and I think he wants in on the fun. He's mentioned that he might be interested in something like Stephen King, but the size of the books are too intimidating. I think he would particularly enjoy mysteries or thrillers, but any genre is welcome. The most important thing is that the books are not too long and they are easy to get through -- so no complicated structures or long lists of characters. Thanks for all you do, --Morgan   2. Hey Get Booked, After reading Bad Feminist for my book club and LOVING it, I've been craving more feministy reading. I've read We Should All Be Feminists and Men Explain Things to Me. I'm currently listening to Missoula by Jon Krakauer and it's completely fascinating. Could you recommend a few of your favorite feminist books? Even novels with strong feminist themes or characters would be good. Thanks!! --Anna   3. Hello! I’m looking for a graphic novel/ comic recommendation. I love the format, but find that I’m quite picky. Based on what I’ve read and liked, it seems that I prefer comics geared towards a younger audience. I’m not opposed to more adult/ mature content, but I’m not super into gratuitous violence/ nudity, etc. I LOVED Nimona, Lumberjanes, Lucky Penny, Henchgirl, all of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s work, and Paper Girls, so if there’s anything that you can recommend similar to those, I’d love to hear about it! Thanks so much! --Ashley   4. Hello! I recently just discovered your podcast and I can't get enough of it! I have a 7 year old son who is in second grade and loves to read. He reads above his grade level and I am looking for book recommendations for him but also that are appropriate for his age. He is very much interested in Legos and Minecraft. I'm wondering if there are any good, but appropriate children's mysteries out there for him. He has recently discovered the Goosebumps series in his Grandpa's basement from when my husband was a kid and has started on those. Thank you for your help! --Christina   5. Hi, I'm constantly trying to expand my genre tastes, and I think it's time to try some romance. There's just one problem: I'm polyamourous and I don't know where to look for poly romance really. I have very low tolerance for competition between potential partners as a plot forwarding device and have trouble empathizing with characters in monogamous relationships angsting about cheating and wandering potential. I've read Ascension and liked the concept but found the writing quality wanting. I'm open to any sub genre of romance, as long as at least some of the primary characters are polyamourous. --Amanda   6. Hello, I am an avid reader but tend to stick to mostly fantasy, sci-fi, and classics. I love classic mystery/detective books like Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, Rex Stout, G.K Chesterton's Father Brown and Dorothy Sayers but I am struggling to find contemporary mystery/detective fiction that aren't cookie cutter stories. I'm don't like a lot of gore or sex and I really enjoy the process of discovering who committed the crime. Any books/series recommendations along these lines would be great! --Heather   7. I've been doing a lot of very heavy, very dry reading for my degree, and I need some fun books to read in the meantime. Since everything I've been reading lately has been nonfiction, I thought I would get as far away from that as possible and read some fantasy. But because I'm so busy with school I don't have as much time to read as I wish I did, so I'm hesitant to start a series. I thought some YA could do the trick since the reading is always a bit easier, and I feel like everyday I hear about a new YA fantasy novel that is coming out. I recently read Carry On by Rainbow Rowell and thought it was spectacular, and I also read The Magicians and thought it was great. My favorite author is Neal Stephenson, but I don't have the ability to read such complicated and heavy subject matter at the moment. --Max   Books Discussed Squire by Tamora Pierce (Protector of the Small series) Shadowsong by S. Jae-Jones Bonfire by Krysten Ritter (trigger warning: sexual assault) The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith The Geek Feminist Revolution by Kameron Hurley We’re Going To Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union (trigger warning: discussion of her rape) Misfit City Vol 1 by Kirsten Smith, art by Kurt Lustgarten, Naomi Franquiz Jem and the Holograms V1 by Kelly Thompson and Sophie Campbell The Key Hunters series by Eric Luper (#1 The Mysterious Moonstone) The Brixton Brothers series (The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity), recommended by Preeti Glutton for Pleasure by Alisha Rai Poly Romance post Bound To Be A Groom by Megan Mulry IQ by Joe Ide Aunty Lee’s Delights by Ovidia Yu A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor

Flat 26 is back! In the second episode Emily and Jess discuss Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me. 

Our EQ this week: How can white women use their privilege to disrupt the culture of passive aggressive behavior and whitesplaining/mansplaining that emerge in many professional workplaces?Episode Disclaimer: If any of the stories or examples in this episode seem familiar, it’s purely accidental, coincidental, and unintentional. Join Hope and Annie as they discuss the ways in which white women engage in passive aggressive communication. These IWLs rehash an amazing video by MTV's Decoded White People Whitesplain Whitesplaining and Hope learns a new word-- hepeating. As you listen, you'll certainly think of your own experiences with passive aggressive forms of workplace communication. Pop Critical Theory:Today’s pop critical theory comes from the delightful intersection of sociology and linguistics - word blending. White women love word blends as much as your one quirky uncle loves puns. The IWL’s favorite word blend is obviously brunch - that’s breakfast plus lunch, natch - but we won’t wax poetic about waffles on THIS episode. The practice of word blending has brought us such gems as mansplaining and whitesplaining, two terms that are invaluable in our quest to explain the nuance of interpersonal and professional communication in the workplace. We have to give credit where credit is due - Rebecca Solnit coined “mansplaining” in her seminal essay-turned-book, Men Explain Things to Me.Timeless or Terrible: Trunk ShowsStella & DotTupperwareTea LightCabi (buy from our friend!)Trades of Hope (buy from our friend!)10,000 Villages Do Your Fudging Homework:Hope: Tom Rademacher’s post Can We Talk About How Many White Women There Are in Schools and his interview with me.Annie: Read up on “cross-cultural communication” theory.

Tie Jonnan ja Johannan sydämeen kulkee Karl Ove Knausgårdin kirjojen kautta (kuuntele viimevuotinen keskustelumme Taisteluni-sarjasta täältä). Se tuli (taas uudemman kerran) todistetuksi, kun Sivumennen luki Knausgårdin viimeisimmän suomennetun romaanin Kevät. Se on kaunis, kaunistelematon, tarkka ja tosi kuvaus vaimon syvästä masennuksesta, perheen elämästä sairauden rinnalla ja toisaalta myös siitä, miten rakkaus joutuu koetukselle ja puolisoiden etääntyminen toisistaan alkaa. (Linda Boström Knausgårdin tuotannosta keskustelimme maaliskuussa, voit kuunnella jakson täältä.) Knausgård on mestari kuvaamaan luontoa, mestari kuvaamaan lapsuutta ja vanhemmuutta ja mestari kuvaamaan oikeastaan ihan mitä tahansa – röökiä, pikakahvia, vessassa käyntiä – joten palataan aiheeseen, kun Kesä ilmestyy! Kevään rinnalla Jonna on lukenut toista norjalaista valkoista keski-ikäistä heteromiestä = Geir Gulliksenia, joka on kaiken kukkuraksi Knausgårdin frendi. (Aivan, juuri se sama, joka esiintyy Taisteluni-sarjassa.) Gulliksenin Kertomus eräästä avioliitosta on mainio tutkielma siitä, voiko avioliitto olla rehellinen, avoin (olematta avoin), vapaa ja tasavertainen ja samalla toimia ongelmitta. Spoiler alert! Ei voi, sanoo Gulliksenin romaani. Avioliitosta kirjallisuudessa keskustellaan muutenkin. Ensinnäkin maailmassa on liian vähän tarinoita, joiden pääpointti ei ole saattaa nainen avioon. Mutta toisekseen sellaisia tarinoita on, kun oikein tarkalla kammalla haravoi, joten kolmanneksi hurraa! Ja ne tarinat paljastavat, että avioliitto symboloi muutakin kuin romantiikkaa. Seuraa pitkä pätkä esseisti Rebecca Solnit -fanitusta! Make your own family! Johanna referoi Men Explain Things to Me -esseen! Huomioidaan, että kiinnostavia Solnit-haastatteluja saa lukea, kiitos naistenlehtien. Välihuomio: Elena Ferranten Uuden nimen tarina on juuri ilmestynyt suomeksi, koko Napoli-sarja muuntuu parhaillaan 32-osaiseksi tv-sarjaksi, ja Lontoossa pyörii Napoli-kirjoihin perustuva näytelmä (jonka Johanna missasi taannoisella reissullaan pffffffffttttt) ja vähän muutakin Ferranten ympäriltä. Jonna on katsonut Feudia, sarjaa Bette Davisista ja Joan Crawfordista. Sen biiffi on se, että kun näistä kahdesta superstarasta oli juuri tulla ystäviä, filmiyhtiö masinoi heidän välilleen kissatappelun. Sellainen PR-kikka sitten. Sivumennen paheksuu kaikkia, jotka ylläpitävät myyttiä naisista toistensa vihamiehinä, murrr. Jakso alkaa monimutkaisilla laskutoimituksilla siitä, kuinka monta kirjaa meillä on vielä elämän aikana luettavana, ja ne saattavat mennä vähän pieleen. Tarkastuslaskenta on käynnissä! KIRJALISTA: Karl Ove Knausgård: Kevät (suom. Jonna Joskitt-Pöyry, LIKE) Geir Gulliksen: Kertomus eräästä avioliitosta (suom.

Show #161 | Guest: Rebecca Solnit, author of Hope in the Dark and Men Explain Things to Me, has had her finger on the pulse of the American culture for over three decades. From popularizing the term Man-splaining to her bestselling atlases of San Francisco, New Orleans, and New York City, Solnit has indelibly shaped the American feminist lexicon. | Show Summary: Rebecca Solnit sits down with Angie to discuss her new essay collection, The Mother of All Questions. Her most poignant collection to date, Solnit's focus returns unflinchingly to the male gaze, revealing instances of latent misogyny, documenting the violence incited by the rise of rape humor, and praising the women who confront these obstacles every day and refuse to be silenced.

This week on The Living Experiment, we're talking about "mansplaining" — that dynamic where men sometimes explain things to women in condescending, clueless, or less-than-respectful ways. Perhaps a man persists in explaining something that a woman already knows. Perhaps he talks over her attempts to express her own point of view. Or perhaps he holds forth in some way that generally does not honor his listener as an equal. Mansplaining has become a popular term and a hot topic over the past few years, and because it's such an common source of stress and strife in our world, we also see it as an important and under-recognized health issue. So in this episode, we talk about the origins of the word "mansplaining." We share our personal experiences with it and discuss how increasing our awareness of it can help men and women communicate in more constructive, mutually satisfying ways. Finally, we serve up some experiments to help you notice how mansplaining might be showing up in your life — and what you can do about it. "Mansplaining" Episode Highlights Dallas's eye-opening (and sometimes disturbing) journey through Rebecca Solnit's book, Men Explain Things to Me (4:00) Defining the term "mansplaining" — via examples and Solnit's own words (9:00) How the mansplaining dynamic can create a chronic, internalized stress that may manifest as physical illness (11:10) Pilar's experiences with mansplaining at work (12:55) and in a dating relationship (15:25) The ways that women's pent-up frustrations may suddenly surface, and why those eruptions tend to have less-than-healthy outcomes (18:15) How mansplaining was modeled and adopted in Dallas's family (20:10) The devaluing of women's experience and knowledge, by both the man doing the mansplaining and the woman being mansplained to (21:25) A recent mansplaining incident in Pilar's current relationship (23:30) Practical solutions for men and women, beginning with awareness (26:10) Pilar's perspective shift transitioning from a women's college to a workplace where men ran the show (26:55) Dallas's key takeaways from his new awareness of mansplaining — the consequences of devaluing the unique and critical perspective of half of the human race (28:35) The intersection of three themes from episodes of The Living Experiment — shame, scarcity mentality, and mansplaining (31:00) The value of asking "interested" vs. merely "interesting" questions, and how this can help produce richer, more rewarding conversations (32:45) The physical reactions women may experience in response to mansplaining scenarios  (35:45) In-depth analysis of the two options for responding to mansplaining — suck it up or intervene (36:30) When responses to mansplaining lead to lose-lose scenarios (38:05) Finding context for the frustration (39:10) Dallas's call to men to take responsibility and change the dynamic (41:15) The importance of evaluating the stress and depleted pleasure caused by mansplaining, at work and at home, whether you're a man or a woman (42:15) Suggested experiments for the week (43:55) This Week's Experiments Dallas suggests: 1) For men: Pay attention to how you speak to women, notice when you're mansplaining, and own up to it in the moment it happens. The woman may already be frustrated, and you may have already damaged your conversation and relationship. Call yourself out and take responsibility. Behavior change is important, but even more powerful is stopping and acknowledging the behavior in the moment because it defuses harm and allows the tone of the conversation to reset. 2) For women on the receiving end of mansplaining, intervene with the man in a constructive way.  Share how you are feeling, raise the issue, and indicate that you want to advance the conversation together in a mutually respectful way. If you notice anger rising, ask whether it's commensurate with the situation or a disproportionate response driven by your personal history. Recognize that blasting the man doesn't help solve the problem of the millennia behind you. He may have no idea that what he's doing is being received by you as disrespectful; he may have been trying to impress you with his knowledge or share something he thought you'd find helpful and interesting. Pilar suggests: 1) Read Rebecca Solnit's thought-provoking essay, "Men Explain Things to Me", to get a sense of why this issue matters so much, and carries so much social, emotional and political charge. 2) Start noticing mansplaining on television, the radio, or wherever you overhear conversations. Witnessing it occurring around you allows you to observe it more objectively and consider how you might handle it if you were to find yourself in a comparable situation. Seeing examples through the lens of history (watching period pieces, on Mad Men, etc.) can help make you more aware of when it's happening in your own midst.

During this second session, they examine how to move from fear to love, including loving our country’s Trump supporters, developing empathy in the face of our lack of imagination, and how communities really do take care of one another.
