This episode we discuss internalised misogyny and the direct impact it has on women. We discuss misogyny and female stereotypes in popular TV and film, the difference between internalised misogyny and internalised dominance, how the practice of internalised misogyny upholds greater gender inequality and most importantly - WHY DO WE DO IT AND HOW DO WE UNLEARN IT?

Welcome to the very first episode of Revolting Women!

This episode we are discussing the five pillars of patriarchy which are; gender binary, heterosexism, misogyny, capitalism and white supremacy. All five of these concepts are extremely complex and multifaceted however, we do our best to explain them so they can lay the groundwork for future episodes to come.

Think of this as a deep dive into these concepts that will consistently be referred to throughout the pod.
