Myth: The tradwife movement empowers women by affirming traditional gender roles

If you’ve been on social media lately, you might have seen some content about the tradwife movement and from tradwives themselves. Popular tradwife accounts post photos and videos of an idealized domestic lifestyle – taking care of children, cooking from scratch, baking bread, and keeping a clean and organized house – often with a feminine aesthetic that harkens back to the 1950s. They make beautiful content that showcases the value of “traditionally” gendered households, where men are the bread-winners and women are the bread-makers. It might be easy to think that this movement is simply about empowering women to return to tradition. But, when you dig deeper, there’s much more to the story. In this episode, we speak with researchers to unpack the tradwife movement, what it does, and who it really benefits. GATE’s Busted podcast is made possible by generous support from BMO.

Myth: Women should step aside as they age; men should step up

While anyone can experience ageism at work, research shows that women tend to have unique, and typically more severe, experiences. No matter how accomplished they are and no matter how effective they continue to be, older women are perceived as ageing out of relevance. It’s a different story for older men. They’re usually perceived as aging into wisdom and given more power and leadership opportunities. In this episode, we’ll bust this myth—that older women should step aside while older men should step up—and explore the gendered nature of ageism.

Myth: Care work is low value

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we got a sense of how devalued care work really is. Care workers were, and still are, working long hours in poor conditions, for low pay, to support elders, children, and people with disabilities. These care workers provide some of the most essential labour in our society, but their work is often overlooked. We rarely stop to think about how much we rely on care, and how everything would fall apart without it. That neglect has consequences: care workers have been leaving the sector, and we’re now facing a global care crisis, with not nearly enough carers to support everyone who needs care. In this episode, we’ll be busting the myth that care work is low value, and talk about what it would look like if society recognized that our communities and economies are built on and sustained by care.

What even is toxic positivity?

Work relationships can often be complex and can feature blurred lines between the personal and professional. For some, this can result in unnecessary pressure, gaslighting, and toxic positivity, the idea that the best way to cope with a challenging situation is to put a positive spin on it. This episode looks at the psychology behind human emotions, how we regulate them and suppress them during challenging times, and how all of this can relate to toxic positivity.

Inclusive Product and Service Design

Nothing about us without us. What does that mean? Well, in the case of product and service design, it means that designers shouldn’t be designing “for” the most marginalized but instead “with” them. Why do toy designers design “toys for girls” and “toys for boys”? Why are products that address the needs of people with disabilities an exception rather than the rule? Why are the most marginalized people not at the decision-making table when products and services are conceptualized and launched? In this episode, we ask product designers Reginé Gilbert, Jahan Mantin and Vanessa Raponi about what inclusive product, service and program design looks like. Featured guests: Reginé Gilbert is Industry Assistant Professor at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering. She is a user experience designer, educator, and author with over ten years of experience working in technology. She has a strong belief in making the world a more accessible place that starts and ends with the user. Reginé’s areas of research focus are digital accessibility, inclusive design, and immersive experiences. And, she is author of Inclusive Design for a Digital World: Designing with Accessibility in Mind. Jahan Mantin is the co-founder of Project Inkblot, a team of designers and futurists who equip people to become co-designers of an equitable world by creating and leading programs that center Black, Indigenous, and POC designers as well as leading transformative design education programs to equity-aspiring leaders in tech and media spaces. All of Inkblot’s work is in service of activating a movement of people transforming who they are, what they design, and who they design with, through their trademarked proprietary framework – Inkblot Design. Vanessa Raponi is a Senior Product Development Engineer at Spin Master — a Canadian founded, international toy company that created such brands as Paw Patrol and Hatchimals (meaning, she designs and creates toys for a living!). Vanessa is the Founder of EngiQueers Canada, a national non-profit that advocates for intersectional queer inclusion in the engineering profession which has brought her from coast-to-coast to present in panels, sessions, and talks as an expert in Diversity, Inclusion and Equity. Moderator: Sonia Kang is GATE’s new Academic Director and Professor of Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management, Canada Research Chair in Identity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and University of Toronto Mississauga’s Special Advisor on Anti-Racism and Equity. Her research explores the challenges and opportunities of diversity, including strategies for mitigating the far-reaching effects of stigma and harnessing the power of diversity for society and organizations alike.

Decolonizing Data and Design

When we think about product and policy analysis and design, we don’t often think about the colonial underpinnings of our work. Many people think of data and design as somehow “neutral” and “objective.” But if we dig deeper, we begin to understand how they can perpetuate inequalities. So, what would it mean to decolonize data and decolonize design? In this episode, we talk to Jacqueline Quinless, author of Decolonizing Data, and Dori Tunstall, author of Decolonizing Design, to answer that question. Featured guests: Jacqueline Quinless is Associate Faculty at the Centre for Indigenous Research and Community-led Engagement and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Victoria. She has worked extensively in Indigenous communities using gender-based analysis frameworks in the context of understanding the impacts of natural resource development on the health and wellbeing of Indigenous peoples. She is an award-winning public sociologist recognized for her community-based research in the advancement of Indigenous welfare in Canada. Dori Tunstall is Former Dean, Faculty of Design at the Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCAD University). She is a design anthropologist, public intellectual, and design advocate who works at the intersections of critical theory, culture, and design. She was the first black person— and first black woman—to be named dean of a faculty of design. She is a recognized leader in the decolonization of art and design education. She has held faculty positions in Australia and the US, organized the U.S. National Design Policy Initiative, and served as a director of Design for Democracy. Moderator: Darrell Bowden is the Rotman School’s Director of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and has more than 25 years of social justice work in higher education.

Myth: Gender-based violence is a private issue

Overview: There’s a perception that gender-based violence (GBV) only happens in the home, and that means it’s a private matter, just for families or partners to deal with. This is a misconception that can keep survivors from reporting violence and finding support. Gender-based violence is a human rights violation that encompasses many types of actions including harassment, assault, manipulation, and abuse. It can happen anywhere, including in workplaces, schools, and public spaces, and has significant consequences for all of society. In this episode, we hear from experts from different organizations working against gender-based violence to understand why it is not a private issue but something that everyone should be working to address. This episode is based on an event we held in December 2022 for the 16 Days of Action Against Gender- Based Violence. See a recap of the event here: https://www.gendereconomy.org/we-can-break-free-what- it-takes-to-challenge-gender-based-violence/ If you liked this episode, you may be interested in other GATE events.

Myth: Gender inequality has a one-size-fits-all solution

What is intersectionality, anyway? We’ll demystify it in this episode--and delve into the myth that gender inequality can have a one-size-fits-all solution. Intersectionality shows us how we need to consider how our different social identities such as race, gender, religion, Indigeneity, immigrant status, disability, and sexual identity all intersect to play a significant role in how we experience the world. So, rather than creating policies, services, and research that homogenize people, we need to make sure we apply intersectionality—or we risk leaving people behind.
