S2 Ep5: Revolutionary motherhood, the life cycle of an activist, and motherwhelm, with Beth Berry 56:43

9d ago56:43

56:43

The silencing and targeting of mothers is a deliberate act of damaging the next generation and attacking women. When we rob mothers of their power, we slow the process of human liberation. Beth Berry is a coach, mentor, and seasoned mother and activist who works with mothers to access their power so they can be changemakers. In this podcast episode…

S2 Ep4: The shock of motherhood in a patriarchy, with Mary Catherine Starr 1:12:48

24d ago1:12:48

1:12:48

“I think about and write about this all the time, and yet I still think there’s something wrong with me that it’s so hard for me. It’s so hard to separate what we’ve been told…from the truth, which is that it’s not us.” — Mary Catherine Starr Patriarchy tells everyone motherhood is easy, and demands that mothers perform ease. The pressure to do thi…

S2 Ep3: The Patriarchal Playbook: How it controls both women and men 1:18:37

1M ago1:18:37

1:18:37

The Patriarchal Playbook is my term for the set of canned responses, expectations, and norms men follow without thinking. This concept helps clarify why the behavior of sexist men is both predictable and often nonsensical. In this episode, Jeff and I discuss how that playbook damages heterosexual relationships and limits women’s options. We also go…

2M ago1:03:52

1:03:52

The Trump presidency presents parents with a host of challenges. How do we help our kids feel safe while educating them about oppression? How can white parents inspire their kids to be accomplices standing with the most vulnerable? How can we help kids assess the risk this presidency poses to them and act accordingly? And perhaps most importantly, …

S1 Ep9: Family Court Strategy With Kaitlyn Jorgensen: Why it Matters, How to Get it Right 39:21

6M ago39:21

39:21

Family court can be a brutal experience for women, especially those who have experienced abuse, neglect, and violence. While the standards in family courts seem neutral, gender bias has infiltrated every corner of our world, especially our highly conservative court system. Women face an uphill battle, a bias in favor of believing men, and a culture…

S1 Ep8: Why coercively controlling men are never good parents with Emma Katz 1:19:40

6M ago1:19:40

1:19:40

Content warning: This podcast extensively discusses all forms of intimate partner violence, some child abuse, and briefly discusses the death of a child, but not in graphic detail. Intimate partner violence is much more than physical violence. Every physically violent perpetrator was, for a time, not physically violent. The emotionally abusive, deg…

S1 Ep7: The epidemic of fake nice guys 37:50

6M ago37:50

37:50

Zawn and Jeff discuss why being a “nice guy” is a red flag, not a green one, why men who abuse women commonly claim to have been victims of abuse, and whether men ever deserve the benefit of the doubt. See some of my previous work on nice guys here: Signs your 'nice guy' isn't actually a nice guy The myth of the bumbling nice guy…

S1 Ep6: Liberation is for Everyone: Decolonizing Feminism with Desiree Stephens 1:28:28

7M ago1:28:28

1:28:28

Desiree Stephens is an incredible racial justice and decolonization activist. I originally wanted to discuss with her the role of rest and pleasure in activism, but as is so often the case in conversations with Desiree, we ended up covering so much more ground. Desiree frames so many things in ways I’ve never heard them framed before. She can be qu…

S1 Ep5: The Epidemic of Sexual Abuse in Marriage 46:59

8M ago46:59

46:59

Sexual coercion in marriage is widespread and normalized. In roughly half of marriages, this coercion escalates to abuse. Men dismiss women as less sexual, and insist that women should therefore cater to men’s needs. The data suggest otherwise. Women avoid sex with men because men do not offer them sex that is worth having—and because they create a…

S1 Ep4: The nightmare of childbirth in a patriarchy 1:23:13

9M ago1:23:13

1:23:13

Bringing life into the world should be a source of immense power--and often, it is. But in a patriarchy, we endeavor to destroy women's power. This is why patriarchy has turned childbirth into a dangerous, traumatic nightmare. Learn about the state of childbirth, and what you can do to push back--and why it's a partner's obligation to protect and s…

S1 Ep3: How bad is heterosexual marriage for women? 43:54

9M ago43:54

43:54

Why is it that we respond to proposals and weddings with joy rather than terror? We know that men are the biggest public health threat to women, and that most marriages are inequitable and unhappy. Yet patriarchy promotes this disconnect. Learn why in this episode.Von Liberating Motherhood

S1 Ep1: Episode 1: Why are men so angry at their partners? 57:50

10M ago57:50

57:50

Men are angry at their partners. But why, in a world where women are already doing a disproportionate share of relational, household, and parenting labor, do men feel so disenfranchised? Follow Zawn at zawn.substack.com or https://www.facebook.com/zawnv/Von Liberating Motherhood
