Patriot Games


Listen Later

Time to unfurl the flags and ask: what is this love of country that smells suspiciously like control? 

Word of the Week [1:55]: Neoconservatism: In this episode, Dr. Lisa traces neoconservatism from its Cold War swagger to its present-day cosplay. 

Phase 1 [6:00]: Whose Patriotism? Dr. Shaunna queries the chest-thumping type of patriotism that tends to show up only when someone dares to question the status quo. 

Phase 2 [30:11]: Mankeeping: We zoom in on “mankeeping”, that exhausting emotional labor women perform to keep men emotionally soothed and ideologically unthreatened as they battle loneliness. Spoiler Alert: women are opting out, so soothe yourselves. We'll tell you why.

Come for the analysis, stay for the side-eyes, and wrestle with the questions.
