”Great in the Sack”: When Misogyny Leads to Mayhem

Ep. 17: Online "rape academies" & the digital age of misogyny

In this episode, we investigate the wild intersection of systemic  violence against women & girls, and modern technology.
We begin with the landmark Gisele Pelicot case in France, breaking down the court proceedings involving the 50 co-defendants and analyzing the digital hunting ground & website used to facilitate mass abuse.
From there, we make the connections of just how these patterns repeat across emerging tech frontiers. We examine the weaponization of everyday consumer tech like smart glasses, the alarming rise of AI-generated non-consensual deepfakes, and the targeted global mechanics of online grooming & sextortion.
Finally, we zoom out to a sociological perspective to talk about how the pop culture of the last few generations primed society for this current digital age of misogyny.

Ep. 16: The CIA's Iran-Contra Affair, the crack epidemic, & the women who paid the price

The War on Drugs didn’t start in the streets; it started in the shadows of the offices of the CIA. This episode traces the timeline from the late 70s up through the late 90s, connecting the dots between anti-communist funding in Central America, the Middle East, & the sudden influx of crack cocaine into black communities in America. We’re also peepin' the exact moment the Second Boland Amendment went into effect..and how, as the CIA searched for alternative funding for the Contras, the streets began to change.
We are discussing the crimes of Oliver North, Gary Webb's brave af reporting, and the biological warfare of "pseudoscience". We also talk about the extremely damaging articles that manufactured the "bio-underclass" myth to justify the lack of resources and the systemic abandonment of the very communities the state helped destabilize.
By the time we get to the late 90s, the trap was already set, and waiting to be triggered. When you look at the outcomes of the crack epidemic, it becomes clear who was at fault, who was targeted, and who won.
 
This is the final episode to the witch-hunt series...for now ; )

Ep. 15: Witchhunts pt. 4c - FBI EXPOSED by leftists!

So, how did COINTELPRO finally come undone? In this episode, we trace the program’s collapse through the interconnected movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s...from the New Left and anti–Vietnam War protests, all the way to women’s liberation, the Catholic Left, and the American Indian Movement. By examining all that went into the FBI's cointelpro operations, such as surveillance, infiltration, and internal fractures, the episode shows how state appointed crimes created lasting harm both externally and within activist spaces themselves, culminating in the Media, Pennsylvania burglary and later, the Church Committee’s revelations.

Ep. 14: Witch Hunts pt. 4b - COINTELPRO & its attack on the Black Panther Party

*Content warning** political violence, racism, and brief mention of suicide.
 
*A FEW VERBAL MISTAKES*: at 2 occasions I referred to the BPP's early name as the "Black Panther Party OF Self Defense" & "Black Panther Party of Defense" which is incorrect. It should have been said, "Black Panther Party for Self Defense"...sorry-sometimes my mouth has its own plan  -_-
 
Hi there,  listeners! This episode examines the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s campaign against the Black Panther Party under the secret so-called "counter-intelligence program" known as COINTELPRO. Through different people's accounts, we trace how a community-based organization that provided free breakfast for children, health clinics, and sickle-cell testing became one of the government’s most hated, highest-priority targets.
     The discussion follows the founding of the Party, its social programs & the FBI’s tactics of infiltration, surveillance & what is referred to as “snitch-jacketing,” which culminated in the raid that killed Illinois chairman Fred Hampton in 1969. We weigh out why the Party’s vision of independence: feeding, educating, and protecting their communities, was perceived as a danger to the political establishment...spoiler: when marginalized groups begin to see the system as unnecessary, the patriarchy doubles down.
     This installment also marks the near conclusion of the Witch Hunt series’ exploration of COINTELPRO. After the conclusion of COINTELPRO, there will be one last episode (i think!) of the witch hunt series regarding a few '90s tropes and demonizations. Then my usual case-per-episode will resume...cases that reveal how power-imbalances and patriarchy can have devestating consequences. MMByyyeeeeee!

Ep. 13: Witch hunts (yes, still), part 4.a - Getting the band back together

H-Hey guys 😅 I know, I know…it has been a REALLY long time, and on top of that I keep finding more things to add to 'The Many Faces of Patriarchy' witch hunt series that I've been working on here most recently (possibly to some of your dismays)! I hope you all don't mind my side quests..after all, colonialism,  authoritarianism, misogyny…they all come from the same place. I just can't stop seeing how MUCH history rhymes. 
     Last episode, we left off at the lavender scare, with promises for this episode to deliver the so-called "black scare"…to which I am delivering (a part of, as you can see by the 4.a, because I plan to get 4.b out within the week-I PROMISE! It's already nearly done!).
     In this episode, we begin by tying the present political violence of America to it's past, which includes the June 2025 assination of democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman. We then enter into the main part of the episode: the creation of the Counter Intelligence Program. We find that Hoover is up to his old tricks again, including surveillance & illegal operations..but this time he kicks it up a notch, with help from his FBI. Yep, he's getting the band back together, meaning he is widening his sights to include groups considered “other” from parts 1, 2, and 3 of this series. 
That's right, Hoover's COINTELPRO begins by aiming to further oppress so-called communists & socialists (surprise!), people of color, feminists, Native Americans, AND MORE. Basically, anyone demanding equal rights.This episode will mainly focus on cointelpro's attack on Martin Luther King Jr.
     So let's take a little trip into the past, so we can better connect the reasons of how tf we got where we are today. I guess some people think it's boring to learn from history's most horrendous mistakes…

Ep. 12: Witch Hunts pt. 3 - Surveillance State: Red Scare, Lavender Lies

It's PRIDE MONTH! In pt. 3 of "Witch hunts never go out of style: the many faces of patriarchy", we explore the history and impact of the First and Second Red Scares, alongside the lesser-known but deeply more consequential Lavender Scare. Through a feminist lens, we will take a look at how anti-Communist and anti-LGBTQ campaigns intersected with broader patterns of state surveillance, moral panic, and social control in mid-20th century America. The episode traces how these government-led efforts affected not only political dissenters and artists but also disproportionately targeted queer individuals and other marginalized groups, such as people of color. The next episode will feature the black scare, AKA cointelpro-I didn't want to cram it into this episode, because I wanted to make sure to spend enough time on each of these damaging, tragic moral panics which were waged against those who were seen as "other", or deemed less than.
     While primarily historical in focus, the discussion draws brief parallels to contemporary dynamics of power, identity, and civil liberties.

Ep. 11: Witch Hunts pt 2- Salem, hysteria, eugenics, oh my!

In Part 2 of our series on witch hunts and patriarchy, we pick up at the decline of the European witch trials..starting with the end of the English (Anglican) prosecutions and moving through the infamous hysteria in Salem. From there, we explore how the so-called Enlightenment ushered in new systems of control under the guise of reason and progress.
If this era was truly "enlightened," why did the transatlantic slave trade not only continue, but expand? This episode asks what we choose to see as civilized—and what, or who, we are willing to sacrifice to maintain that image.
We then trace the enduring legacy of accusation, punishment, and control into colonial Africa, where European powers exported witchcraft panic as part of their imperial toolkit. From there, we transition into the rise of modern medicine and the medicalization of women’s bodies...where midwives and healers were replaced by male-dominated institutions, and into the development of eugenics as a tool to justify social hierarchies and racial "purity."
We end with the Nazi regime’s calculated use of ableism, psuedoscience and gendered violence to define who was worthy of life, & who was not.
This episode connects centuries of persecution, "progress," and power, revealing how patriarchal systems evolve, but never disappear.In part 3 (and quite possibly part 4), we will be starting with the McCarthy era, including the Lavender Scare, up through the "crack-baby" myth and the Welfare Queen trope, to the current status of the DEI pushback...worldwide, not just in the United States.

Ep. 10: Witch Hunts Never Go Out of Style: The Many Faces of Patriarchy pt 1

From the witch trials in Valais, Switzerland, to the coerced confessions of Pendle and Salem, this episode uncovers the long arc of misogyny cloaked in religious fervor and legal authority. We trace how accusations of heresy & witchcraft can come as a result of moral corruption and political instability — and have been wielded to control women, the poor, the different, and the defiant throughout history. With voices lost to fire and rope, and others silenced by shame or forced to flee, this isn't just a story of the past. This is a ritual the patriarchy never quite stopped performing.
In part 2, we follow this ritual as it evolves—from the Puritan gallows to the propaganda of Nazi Germany, from Cold War suspicion to today’s backlash against inclusion. The targets may change, but the hunt remains the same.
