White Womanhood Activated with Material Girls | Gender War Games

We’re still on our Summer Break during this hot and beautiful month of July. But don’t fret, we’re dropping episodes every Tuesday that we’re gone! Today’s episode comes from Gender War Games, the podcast from Cristen Conger and Unladylike Media. Hannah and Marcelle were joined by Cristen on Material Girls for an episode about Avril Lavigne’s Clone “Melissa” and social surveillance. But today's drop-in is from Cristen's show Gender War Games. In the episode, Hannah, Marcelle and Cristen talk about how white womanhood is activated—politically, culturally, algorithmically—to reinforce systems of power. From tradwife aesthetics to terf rhetoric, strategic essentialism to state violence, they aim to makes sense of how white femininity gets mobilized. Cristen is brilliant and we think you’ll absolutely love this episode and her work if you aren’t already familiar with it. Enjoy!

CW: Forced sterilization, racialized and racist medical intervention

We’ll be back next week with another drop-in episode. If you’re missing us - hey we miss you too - and also you can always, always, head to Patreon.com /ohwitchplease to become a supporter of the show. On Patreon you’ll get so many ad-free bonus episodes you will stop missing us completely. It costs as little as $5 USD a month to support the show but it is the difference between us paying Coach or not. Don’t you want to pay Coach? Don’t you want to listen to more episodes? Again head to patreon.com/ohwitchplease or wait until next week for another July Drop-In.
