Big Sister Hotline: Episode 28, Feat. JA...

BIG SISTER HOTLINE WITH CLEMENTINE FORD
About this episode

Hello little sisters! We're back with another episode of the Hotline, this time with guest big sister JANE GILMORE. You may know Jane from her work running the #fixedit headline series, where she corrects misleading headlines in the media minimising men's violence against women. Jane's book, "FIXED IT: Violence and the Representation of Women in the Media" is essential reading for anyone looking to see patriarchy in action. You can order it from all good bookstores!


This week, we're talking the language of patriarchy, how men avoid confronting the reality of men's violence and how things are slowly, slowly improving. We talk about resisting patriarchy's pressure to silence ourselves, particularly when abuse is weoponised by men against us. How do you learn to speak up without fear? Practice, baby. We also talk about the dynamics of domestic abuse and what to do if you're either in an abusive relationship or you know someone who is.


Remember, if you like the hotline then please consider rating it! And if you're interested in listening to this month's bonus episode with past guest big sister TEDDY DUNN, you can access it on my Patreon which is www.patreon.com/clementineford


Have a great week sisters! Love your big sis, Clem x
