en(gender)ed

In this "Reflections" episode Part 2, Teri and Michael reflect back on episodes on the topic of sex, womanhood, and femininity: Episode 117: Jennifer Block on “Everything Below the Waist: Why Health Care Needs a Feminist Revolution,” Episode 119: #SurvivorStories Series with “Sophia” on navigating the intersection of gender and race in healthcare, Episode 120: Susan Bordo on sex and femininity in politics and its intersection with sexism and misogyny, and Episode 121: Kyl Myers on “Raising Them: Our Adventure in Gender Creative Parenting.”

During our conversation, Michael and I touched upon the following resources in our conversation:

• Michael and Teri's prediction that if Trump loses, he won't leave quietly, and why his current refusal to concede matters
• How being a woman was a pre-existing condition before the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
• How the medical and drug industry center profit over women's safety and agency
• Examples of ethically questionable behavior such as the power morcellator or the transvaginal mesh
• How Trump's damage to science could last decades to recover from
• Sexism and misogyny in 2016 elections and in politics in general
• The Brainwashing of My Dad interview with Jen Senko
• Our interview with Jessica Taylor on Why Women Are Blamed for Everything
• The impact of Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation and addition to the Supreme Court on women's rights
• Misogynoir and how Black women have protected men's violence against them to advance Black liberation
• How "sex" is not considered a "strict scrutiny" category under the law and why feminists are fighting for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment
