Mehr Militant Empathy

Militant Empathy is a long-form podcast, where each episode tries to grapple with one big issue, like: why do we think about sex the way that we do? What does "justice" mean? Where did borders come from? What the fuck is mental health anyway? I pull on history, philosophy and general political science to shape each episode but the most important thing for me is always to make sure that somebody with absolutely zero subject matter expertise could still understand what I'm talking about. I truly believe that if you cannot explain something well to somebody who doesn't know your field, you do not know your field well enough yourself. The podcast runs in seasons and each season I'll release one episode a month, with a short break between seasons. You can catch episodes on all major podcasting platforms and also YouTube xoxo

Episode On Sex Cover

On Sex

In 1905 celebrated cocaine addict Sigmund Freud coined the term “psychic impotence” to describe a form of sexual disfunction he had observed in men who failed to realise their arousal because they viewed women in binary terms - either as saintly Madonnas who should not be sullied by their desires, or as sex crazed harlots with whom they should not debase themselves. It’s been some 120 years since the term Madonna-Whore complex was borne out of Freud’s theories, but I still have just a couple of things to say about it. In this feature length season finale episode I’m going to explore this binary stretching all the way back to biblical times - (yes, Biblical Times!). We’ll cover everything from Christian Creation myths, to the medical theories of the Ancient Greeks, the European Witch Hunts, Andrew Tate, the much beloved family friendly Disney classic, Pretty Woman, Trad Wives, and the very concept of demurité itself.

Episode On Justice (ft chat about Jonah Hill, xQc & Sarah Schulman) Cover

On Justice (ft chat about Jonah Hill, xQc & Sarah Schulman)

The term “justice” has suffixed a lot of political thought in the past decade - transformative justice, economic justice, social justice, environmental justice, reproductive justice, I could go on - but what do we actually mean by justice? And how far should we be willing to go to get it? In this episode, I’m going to take you on a bit of a rambling journey through a series of examples that I think open up some interesting ways of thinking about justice. We’ll be covering themes of ethical philosophy, cancel culture and, for some inexplicable reason, Jonah Hill and xQc. You can also expect lots of discussion of Sarah Schulman’s at times controversial book Conflict is Not Abuse - I hope you enjoy it, I really enjoyed making it.
