In this episode we dive into the topic of vulnerability and how it can be used as a political tool. We also touch on some cliche narratives like, ‘there is power in vulnerability’, to question if we ever related to this. As feminists, how do we make vulnerability something that empowers women, rather than igniting further oppression?At Maneuvering we discuss topics like feminism, anti-racism, mental health, friendships, identity and much more. We also feature our friends occasionally and exchange personal stories that fuels their politics.Follow us on Instagram! @maneuveringpodcastHosts: Shanah Khan and Michaela TuckerWe’d love to hear from you!

Women are socialised to believe that if we observe the rules of the patriarchy, it will be kinder to us and we will benefit from it - this is internalised misogyny. In this episode we dig deep into our thoughts and past experiences to answer the question: why are women sexist towards other women? You will also enjoy a short excerpt of a personal essay Shanah has written about internalised misogyny in the South-Asian community. Books mentioned: ‘Not That Bad’ by Roxanne Gay and ‘The Glass Essay’ by Anne Carson. At Maneuvering we discuss topics like feminism, anti-racism, mental health, friendships, identity and much more.
