Feminism (feat. Carol Hay)

In the wake of #MeToo, the controversial Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial, and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, where does feminism stand today? In episode 58 of Overthink, Ellie and David explore feminist philosophy to diagnose the status and future of the feminist movement. To help think about these issues, they bring on Dr. Carol Hay, feminist philosopher and author of the book Think Like a Feminist: The Philosophy Behind the Revolution. The trio talk theories of oppression, recent anti-feminist backlash, capitalist appropriation of feminism (see: #girlboss), and more!Works DiscussedCarol Hay, Think Like a Feminist: The Philosophy Behind the RevolutionSusan Faludi, Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American WomenClotilde de Maricourt and Stephen R.
