Breaking Up with American Patriarchy with Anna Malaika Tubbs

Are you sick of the patriarchy? Same. Author Anna Malaika Tubbs says it’s time to break up with it! Anna offers up a definitive history of the way the patriarchy has oppressed women and denied our contributions in her latest book, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us. She and Reshma have a riveting conversation about the way the patriarchy was woven into the DNA of the nation and discuss real solutions for creating a more equitable society. Plus, the fascinating way that AI is reproducing American patriarchy.
