S2E3: Incels and Women with a Voice, sweetening the bitter with a Gartissier Champagne
In this crucial episode we tackle the challenging topic of incels and the vital importance of women taking up space in a world that often pushes back. We explore the origins of the incel movement, its disturbing evolution into online communities fuelled by misogyny, and the real-world concerns highlighted by UK government research and Prevent Programme referrals.
We discuss the key characteristics of incel communities, the dangerous narratives they promote (as sometimes seen in documentaries like the Channel 4 documentary on Incels and men hating women), and the impact of online misogyny on women who dare to speak up. Have you ever been made to feel "too loud" or "too much"? We get it.
We reflect on the themes of online radicalization, also potentially relevant to discussions around shows like Netflix's Accused, and emphasize the power of community and self-care.
Join us for an educational and thought-provoking discussion, raising a glass of Gartissier Champagne to women who refuse to be silenced.
Episode Highlights:
- What exactly is an incel and how has the movement changed?
- Understanding the core misogynistic beliefs within incel communities.
