Women are socialised to believe that if we observe the rules of the patriarchy, it will be kinder to us and we will benefit from it - this is internalised misogyny. In this episode we dig deep into our thoughts and past experiences to answer the question: why are women sexist towards other women? You will also enjoy a short excerpt of a personal essay Shanah has written about internalised misogyny in the South-Asian community.

Books mentioned: ‘Not That Bad’ by Roxanne Gay and ‘The Glass Essay’ by Anne Carson.

At Maneuvering we discuss topics like feminism, anti-racism, mental health, friendships, identity and much more. We also feature our friends occasionally and exchange personal stories that fuels their politics.
