This week Joanne sits down with Kara Alaimo to discuss Kara’s important new book, Over The Influence, Why Social Media is Toxic for Women and Girls - and How We Can Take it Back.
There is a lot to unpack in this timely and informative conversation including:
* why social media is toxic for women and girls at any age
* misinformation and disinformation and how it is often crafted to prey on women’s vulnerabilities
* the manosphere and how it has created a space for sexism and misogyny to thrive online
* what you might not have known about dating apps
A communications professor at Fairleigh Dickinson and CNN Opinion contributor, Kara makes the case for how social media has made the world less safe for girls and women backed by research and hard data. She also offers tips and suggestions on what can be done to turn this around including women using social networks to amplify the voices of other women to the idea of a non-profit social network.
Note from Joanne - everyone should listen to this episode - not just women and girls! Just be forewarned - you will want to read the book!
