#10: Modern Feminism ft. Professor Martha Rampton

Martha Rampton, a professor of social history and director for gender equity at Pacific University and I discuss the topic of modern feminism. In the modern day, feminism has become a polarizing topic, the goals are more fractured and more complex. Women would not be where they are today without feminism. The ability to vote, own property, have bodily autonomy and more were gained from the unified social movement towards progress in the form of gender equity. We talk about the waves of feminism, the core issues affecting women today, concepts such as patriarchy and privilege, global feminism and touch on how men come into play in all this.

#9: Political Polarization

Political polarization is tearing at the seams of democracies around the world, from Brazil and India to Poland and Turkey. It isn’t just an American illness; it’s a global one. It is very natural for humans to tie their associate their identity with their convictions, and thus, political polarization is a reflection of the division of humans. In this episode I go through three main factors contributing to political polarization, popular figures, past and present such as Donald Trump and Andrew Tate. Lastly, I discuss how division is a natural human tendency.
