Feminism in 3d is what i call feminism in 3d and those 3D's are defy disobey and disrupt the patriarchy. I'm not going to support a woman who upholds or dismantles patriarchy she does not get my support so what i want to do is dismantle that patriarchy. We're all socialized by patriarchy we all have to be very aware of how we must basically unsocialize ourselves from that patriarchy when people ask me well how do you see the dismantling of the patriarchy i tell them practical ways that i can do that.
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.
