Some White Guy Mansplains Intersectional Feminism with Jake Ryan
SWGMIF is an educational podcast focused on giving you the language to understand the systems of oppression you live under and your role in perpetuating or dismantling them. In it, I highlight the various -isms of our society, like racism, sexism, and ableism, and compassionately urge you to think and act differently to create a more equitable world.
Some White Guy Mansplains Intersectional Feminism with Jake Ryan
1. White Supremacy and White People’s Role in Dismantling It
You've likely heard about white supremacy but you probably don't really know what it is or how it shows up in your life, especially if you're white. Between COVID, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, 2020 really showed us that our society is not safe or welcoming toward people of color but is especially hostile toward Black people. This is not an accident but the intended purpose of white supremacy. White people hold a lot of power within white supremacy but it is at the expense of people of color and it's on us (white people) to learn about this system and bring it to an end.
