Will we ever grow tired of talking about Feminism and how it relates to the Metal scene? The answer is nope!

On a new episode of Bleeding Metal, Kiki and Pia are joined by Dr. Anna S. Rogers, sociologist and lecturer at the University of Georgia, who just released a book about Heavy Metal Feminism. Listen in to learn about concepts like "defensive othering", the male gaze in Metal, and tokenism.

Shownotes:

What is "mental load"? And how does it affect the romantic, creative, and other types of partnerships? And how can we share it so that the tasks are in fact shared equally?

Kiki and Pia discuss their experiences with unequal mental loads and how we can all try to be better.

00:00:00 Definition of "mental load" and thank you!

Shownotes:

What is intersectionality and how does it relate to white feminism? And what are our experiences as intersectional feminists in the Metal scene?

Kiki and Pia welcome HORIZIS-singer Martha to the podcast to talk about their experiences and views around the topic of feminism and the intersections each of them fall into, including being metalheads.

Shownotes:

Our podcast has a new name with which we begin a new chapter of the podcast and our lives. With Bleeding Metal, we want to approach the more  important topics, such as politics, mental health, feminism, LGBTQIA+ rights, among many others and be more vocal with our opinions around them.

In this episode we talk about ourselves and how we came to be who we are, so that all you listeners out there can get a better understanding of our perspectives - and our musical opinions.
