Sexism and Gender Equality with Shu Matsuo Post
Shu Matsuo Post is a successful business person in Japan, one of the most gender-rigid nations on the planet. When he got married and chose to take his wife’s name, the opposition he encountered gave him an unexpected glimpse into a woman’s world. It also gave him a taste of vulnerability, emotional connection, and the freedom he had been craving all his life.
Flowing seamlessly between his own journey, his wife’s journey, and their journey together as they struggled to break the bonds of gender limitations, his debut book, I Took Her Name, is a powerful roadmap for defying expectations and becoming your authentic self.
In this episode, Shu shares his "feminist awakening" where he experienced a large perspective shift in his life after marrying his wife and changing his last name. He now fights alongside the feminist movement for gender equality and a dismantling of the patriarchy. Shu strongly believes that the patriarchy is responsible for the rigid gender norms that also put men into boxes and enables toxic masculinity.
Shu and I chat about the following:
- Stigmas around feminism and calling yourself a feminist as a man
- Shu's journey into feminism
- Why the patriarchy is also harmful for men
- How he's actively fighting for gender equality and what that means
- How feminism sets men free from gender norms and societal expectations of manhood
- Commonly used sexist phrases and why they're harmful
Tune in to hear the rest of Shu's story and insights!!
