How do you meet resistance and anger in your lifeCheck if cnava left account twice ? How often do you say yes when you mean no? And how often did you betray yourself by neglecting the power of your female body to fight back?I am so excited to have had the amazing Breanne Fahs as guest on the podcast. Breanne is professor of Women and Gender Studies at Arizona State University, where she specializes in studying women's sexuality, critical embodiment studies, feminist histories, and political activism. She has authored many books, including most recently Unshaved and Burn It Down! Feminist Manifestos for the Revolution. She is the founder and director of the Feminist Research on Gender and Sexuality Group at Arizona State University, and she also works as a clinical psychologist in private practice.Together we explored all about Menstrual activism and why the world needs (menstrual) activists for the collective healing of the female body and women’s voices. What a liberating conversation - wild and so true. Enjoy. In this conversation we explored:- Breanne`s experience of growing up in a menstruating body, how she met this strong narrative and what protected her from seeing her body as an object but a powerful individual.- Breanne`s very rebellious writing and research, how she became a menstrual activist and how this path changed her understanding and meaning of the cyclical body. - What menstrual activism actually means, namely to no longer fragment ourselves, to recognise our bodies needs and address them, to fight back against shame and stigma, against over-medicalisation of menstruation and the hatred for cycles all together. - How we can all be (menstrual) activist by starting to recognise and acknowledge our anger and indulge the impulse to resist.
