We look at the emerging feminist response to the latest instance of campus sexual assault, the persistence of rape culture, and how pop culture is providing catharsis for angry women.
This episode covers the emerging response to the Cornell rape case online—from those urging moms to do better at raising boys to calls to ban frats to women posting images of vigilante justice.
Women are exhausted, angry, and heartbroken by this latest example of men’s institutionalized violence and by the total lack of accountability the case highlights.
In this episode, we get into how fear and the absence of safety in hetero relationships remains at the heart of women’s heteropessimism, and why we need much more than better education on consent. We talk through what this moment brings up for us as millennials who reported on and taught college students about similar cases in the 2010s, and we look at how pop culture is fueling a new Me Too movement. We also highlight what the Cornell case reveals about masculinity and the persistence of rape culture today.
This is a special emergency episode, part of two-part series on Cornell, which is why it’s reaching you on a Sunday. This one is free because we really want you to share this space with us to rage, cry, and make sense of the current moment. Please support our work by upgrading to a paid subscription.
