Send us a textIn this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with Amy McPhie Allebest, a writer, teacher, and feminist historian whose work has helped shape my understanding of patriarchy and expand my worldview. In her podcast, Breaking Down Patriarchy, Amy offers thought-provoking insights that inspire continued learning about the roots of patriarchy in society. Today, she shares some of those powerful ideas and personal stories, which I hope you find valuable as I have. Here’s what we cover:How “good girl” programming contributes to white feminism and upholding patriarchyWhy feelings of fear, guilt, and shame create barriers to open-mindednessSeveral tools for accepting discomfort in order to effectively engage with learning about patriarchyWhy working to educate yourself is a valuable first step from silence to speaking upHow to create a space for yourself where it's safe to learn and change your mindWhy grieving your past beliefs or harm you’ve caused is essential to moving forwardThe importance of generosity and understanding in growing from what you learn instead of self-blamingI can't wait for you to listen.
