This resource just kind of fell into my lap… I finished listening to The Ezra Klein Show‘s The Green Pill (which is an amazing podcast about the (sort of) history of why we eat what we eat and ethical implications [it’s really good!!!!]) on the weekend, and this was was the first podcast to play after it-I had forgotten that I had downloaded it a while ago.
Anyway, the episode is called “Rebecca Traister on #MeToo, female rage, and Anita Hill’s legacy” and it is amazing. It’s in an American context, but with the amount of political American content we’re inundated with, I think it’s valuable; also, gender inequity and sexual harassment is also thriving in Canada. I’m only halfway through, but I think I would bring this (or snippets) into my classroom. Rebecca is very well spoken and articulate and I appreciate her thoughts and honesty. Additionally, Ezra is male and gives voice to some questions that we all may have.
