About this episode
In this episode I dive into what I’ve recently uncovered about the origins of the women’s movement and what the psychology of the women that started it was like. This led me to an important insight about the relationship between rights and responsibilities (or the lack of it in many cases especially today). This insight can explain some of the big misunderstandings we have in our culture between men and women.Listen into learn about the early life of Elizabeth Cody Stanton, the purpose of chivalry, the myth of female powerlessness, how sexual dynamics today are shaped by the misunderstandings of the past, and more.**Inspired by the work of Janice FiamengoTimestamps:00:00 - 00:38 Episode Trailer00:38 - 00:42 Intro00:42 - 01:37 Episode Overview01:37 - 04:04 The difference in how men and women understand rights04:04 - 06:22 Who really started the women’s movement?06:22 - 08:10 Has feminism always been radical?08:10 - 09:28 Is feminism just a luxury belief?09:28 - 11:54 A woman's power to influence a man11:54 - 13:49 Have men been keeping the good stuff for themselves13:49 - 16:58 Why weren't women allowed to vote?16:58 - 20:12 Equal rights without equal responsibility 20:12 - 22:53 Why did overweight supermodels become a thing?22:53 - 25:15 Is masculine chivalry dead?25:15 - 25:48 Final thoughts and key takeaways25:
