5. Sexual Violence and Femicide

This episode is a bit of a bummer but it's still very necessary to address sexual violence and femicide. There is no word in the English language for killing a man on account of his gender, but women are killed on account of their gender often enough that "femicide" was coined, and we'll cover some important stats on the issue. We'll also look at how generally unsympathetic our society is to survivors of sexual violence and why that is, then turn to how hard recovery is for men who have been sexually victimized because of the systems of oppression we live under.
