Episode 12 - Rape - Susan Brownmiller's Against Our Will
Update: 2020-12-04
Description
In 1975, Susan Brownmiller published the very popular and controversial book "Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape". In it, she argues that rape is an ever present force within sexist society and not some distant event that happens in the margins of every day life. Rape should be brought to the forefront of our consciousness as a society, so we can eradicate the culture that leads to it. Her main controversies came in the chapters on race, where many accused Brownmiller of resurrecting racist imagery. A difficult subject, but an important one, discussed in an extra long episode. We also speak about MeToo.
