Lust is also a big favorite of mine and that's going to be the subject of one of my forthcoming books because i'm working on several book projects right now. The way that i write the chapter is about queering queering things that we are also told to take for granted so queering uh being straight or heteronormative queering being monogamous or mononormative it's queering yeah as passing being queer because i identify as Queer.
International Women's Week on Intelligence Squared. There are seven necessary sins for women and girls, that's according to Egyptian writer and activist Mona Eltahawy. Anger, ambition, profanity, violence, attention, lust, and power, are all attributes that the patriarchy sees as vices for women, she says, but these should be harnessed as virtues. On this episode of the podcast, which was recorded in 2021, Mona was joined in conversation by physicist and broadcaster Helen Czerski to discuss how women and girls can tap into their inner fury, and rather than surviving the patriarchy, they can dismantle it.
