New Thing Alert: Apparently I Needed Another Project
Because I clearly don’t have enough to do already, I’ve decided to start a new twice-monthly live show here on Bitchy History
The “Well, The Patriarchy Isn’t Going To Fuck Itself” Hour.
The premise is simple. For centuries, patriarchy has shaped our politics, workplaces, relationships, religions, media, and cultural expectations while insisting it’s just “the way things are.” Conveniently, the people benefiting from those arrangements have rarely been eager to examine them too closely.
So we’re going to.
Twice a month, I’ll be joined by historians, writers, academics, activists, creators, and other interesting people for live conversations about gender, power, culture, and history. We’ll talk about everything from tradwives and reproductive rights to media representation, masculinity, labor, religion, and the strange ways old ideas keep finding new packaging.
Think of it as part history lecture, part feminist roundtable, and part group project dedicated to asking, “Okay, but what if we did things differently?”
And because this is Bitchy History, there will almost certainly be bizarre historical advertisements, questionable life advice from dead people, and at least one moment per episode where we all collectively wonder how humanity made it this far.
The goal isn’t just to complain about the world as it exists. The goal is to understand how we got here, who benefits from the current arrangement, and what a more equitable future might actually look like.
More details, guest announcements, and scheduling information are coming soon.
Until then, remember:
The patriarchy isn’t going to fuck itself.
Unfortunately.
10/10 title, looking forward to listening!
I can't wait! I actually just published my first article on substack about how a matriarchal society could work with a gift economy. I love this shit! Thank you for doing this.
