このコンテンツについて

Mothers are tired of anti-mother misogyny, household labor inequality, and a culture that expects mothers to bear the burdens of its many shortcomings--all without complaint. Mothers are vital to feminism, and have been neglected in feminist discourse for far too long. Mothers are constantly told that political problems are personal--that if we communicate better, mother better, behave better, things will improve. The only path to change is through widespread political change. That's what this podcast is about. Maternal feminism is an important prong of social justice work, and all people interested in a just world should care about what happens to mothers, families, and children. Zawn Villines, LLC 哲学 社会科学

  • S2 Ep8: Understanding the Logic of Misogyny With Philosopher Kate Manne
    2025/06/11
    Misogyny isn’t really about hating women. After all, if pure hate explained everything, wouldn’t that mean that only mean men abuse women, and that misogynists never seek relationships with women? Men are able to mistreat women they claim to love because of the internal logic of misogyny. They’re not irrational or unhinged; they’re following a set of rules rooted in entitlement.

    Kate Manne is a philosopher who focuses on understanding what’s behind the misogynistic behavior patriarchy creates and enables. She envisions misogyny as a sort of disciplinary tool for reinforcing gendered norms, and preserving men’s access to resources—especially the highly valuable resource of women’s labor.

    We cover a lot of ground in this podcast, including:

    • The reflexive denial in the media of misogyny.

    • Misogyny as a system for enforcing men’s entitlement to women’s labor.

    • Why misogyny is not random and not mental illness, but instead a set of corrupt moral values that reflect the values of the wider culture.

    • Misogyny as more than mere hatred of women, and why certain women may be more impacted by misogyny than others.

    • How not to hate your husband after children…or maybe you should just hate him.

    • The normalization of all forms of violence.

    • The parallels between misogyny and fascism.

    • Fatphobia as a core element of misogyny.

    About Kate Manne

    Kate Manne is an associate professor at the Sage School of philosophy at Cornell University. She specializes in moral, social, and feminist philosophy, and has written three books: DOWN GIRL: The Logic of Misogyny (Oxford University Press, 2018), ENTITLED: How Male Privilege Hurts Women (Crown, 2020) and UNSHRINKING: How to Face Fatphobia (Crown, 2024), a National Book Award finalist in non-fiction. In addition to academic work, she regularly writes opinion pieces and essays for a wider audience, including in outlets such as The New York Times, The Cut, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Nation, and Time. She writes a substack newsletter, More to Hate, exploring misogyny, fatphobia, and their intersection.

  • S2 Ep7: Why is patriarchy so afraid of women's anger? With Gemma Hartley
    2025/05/14
    Women are angry, and rightfully so. Yet everywhere we go, men tell us we are too angry, and that if we were just nicer about our oppression, they’d knock if off. Anger, though, is key to women’s liberation. Writer Gemma Hartley is here to tell us why.

    About Gemma Hartley (and where to find her)

    Gemma Hartley is a freelance writer with a BA in writing from The University of Nevada, Reno. She is author of FED UP: Emotional Labor, Women and The Way Forward. She has written a new book, No One Loves an Angry Woman, which will be out new year.

    Her Substack, No one Loves an Angry Woman, explores feminism, anger, domestic labor inequity, and more. She also has an amazing Substack for writers, called Creative Commitment.

  • S2 Ep6: Treating Children Like People Who Matter, With Dr. Naomi Fisher
    2025/04/02
    “We depoliticize distress by locating it in the individual.” — Naomi Fisher

    Naomi Fisher helped me become a better mother without ever even meeting me. I stumbled across her work when one of my children was dealing with school anxiety. Doing so empowered me to take my child’s distress seriously and trust my instincts as a mother.

    In this podcast episode, Dr. Fisher and I discuss the myriad harms of authoritarian parenting practices, that focus on compliance above all else. Dr. Fisher’s work focuses heavily on school anxiety and refusal. Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include:

    • The weaponization of mom-guilt and mom-shaming to gain compliance from mothers and children.

    • Why we spend so much time teaching parents not to trust their children’s emotions.

    • Alternatives to forced compliance, and what to do when a child doesn’t feel like they can go to school.

    • Why catastrophization plays such a significant role in parenting.

    • Antidotes to rigid thinking, and what to do when plan A (or B, or C) doesn’t work.

    • Why the relationship with the child must always come first.

    • Trusting children to know their needs, and helping them to advocate for those needs.

    I absolutely love listening to Dr. Fisher, and I listen to this recording every time I need a pep talk to get through the hard times with my own kids. I hope it will have the same effect on you.

    About Dr. Naomi Fisher

    Naomi Fisher is an independent clinical psychologist. She specializes in trauma, autism and alternative ways to learn.

    She has a doctorate in clinical psychology from Kings College London (Maudsley), a PhD in developmental cognitive psychology also from Kings College (IoPPN), and a degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of Cambridge.
