In our previous episode, we discussed abusive relationships and how many abusive elements in relationships are normalized in our society, in part because of racism, sexism, and so forth. This week, we talk about how to end the cycle of abuse and how to build loving, healthy relationships. We also discuss discuss the Antonio Martin case, and our personal New Year’s resolutions as well.

For this week we’re talking about abuse and how its various forms are normalized in society. From the fact that counseling and psychiatry have racist/sexist/ableist views baked in the cake to gaslighting; abusive behavior is normalized and very often marginalized people are the ones who bear the brunt. We also address signs of abuse in relationships, and in the context of family life as well.

Listener questions this week come from rosieisrising with regards to why someone would chose to partake in the imperialist machine that is the U.S. armed forces and givingyoutheflick about Australia.

How do schools and our education system reproduce inequality and teach us lies like the "bootstraps myth" when we all know that as POC we have to work twice as hard to get half as much?

For this episode (Kari is gone for the week), Chuks talks with Shirley, an Asian American public school teacher, to explore these questions and more.
