Why are all our Devices Women?

Think Alexa, Cortana, and Siri: why are they all women? Today I talk about sexism in synthesised speech and digitised assistants. Sources to note: UNESCO 2019 “I’d blush if I could”. Lingel & Crawford 2020, “Alexa, tell me about your mother”. Cameron 2001 “Designer Voices”. Hempel 2015, “Siri and Cortana”. Gersen 2019, “SEX LEX MACHINA”.

What is a TERF?

We are talking about TERFs today; a little call back to JK Rowling. The book I mentioned is Literary Theory by Eagleton. Please send me voice messages that I can put in my podcasts (if you went)! You can do this on my Anchor page if you just click the link to any podcast episode and choose to go straight to anchor :)

Why are Male Suicide Rates so High?

TW of course; nothing too graphic, just a very sensitive topic. Today I'm talking about factors that I myself and psychologists think are foundational to making male suicide the biggest killer of men under 45. PLEASE SEEK HELP IF YOU WISH! LIVI is the GP app, it's excellent. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Piersig) discusses classical/romantic thinking, Women and Madness is about psychiatry (Chesler, 1972).

Modern Misogyny

Is sexism eradicated? For the long answer: see this episode. For the shorter answer: no. I explore tiktok and instagram as sources of misogyny and why they breed hatred. Referenced: Mrs America (series), Dark Humour on the Internet (previous podcast episode), The Everyday Sexism Project (website). Thanks!

Dark Humour Online

Does dark humour allow us to hide or prejudice? I look into what comedy is, how dark comedy is used and the reason some comedy is more offensive than other. Please leave me audio messages through my Anchor page or a link I will put on my instagram! Messages also much welcome.

False Rape Allegations

Discussing the statistics and myths behind how many women really lie about rape, making distinctions between what is and what isn't in the power of the police when it comes to claiming a sexual assault case. Mentioned: Cupcakes and Kalashnikovs, an excellent book of articles exploring feminist themes (and challenging them too!). Would recommend .
