    S7E6 International Women’s Day special: Dean Peacock on feminist peace and decoupling masculinity from war and violence

    “Faced with a more precarious claim on power, the film industry is depicting men in more stereotypically powerful ways. The big question is ‘what do we do about it’?” The global feminist movement has the same budget as one F35 fighter plane. That alone shows you how much of a chasm there is between the funding for peace and the funding for war. In this International Women’s Day special, we speak to Dean Peacock, director of the Mobilising Men for Feminist Peace programme for the Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom. In this episode he explores the origins of WILPF, one of the oldest women’s peacebuilding organisations in the world. He discusses the concept of the “war economy”. And he explains the impact of gaming and entertainment on ideals of masculinity. In this episode, you will learn: Why a new type of war story should be told - the stories of the pacifists and war resisters. Why we need to redefine our vision of masculinity. How to better use violence in your writing. Find out more about Dean here. Your host is inkjockey founder Mark Heywood.
