    Not Here For: Denying Feminine Rage Episode 5 | Culture, Media and Literature

    Not Here For: Denying Feminine Rage Episode 5 | Culture, Media and Literature   SEASON 1 of Not Here For comes to an end with our last episode of the FEMININE RAGE series! Episode 5 is a vulnerable take on the anger that we are denied every day. The denying, shaming, and ridiculing of our rage are present in every inch of our lives-from media's influence to the broader Bengali culture. Media's influence has been an overbearing force in setting certain narratives in place-about femmes as unidimensional secondary characters, about angry women who are ultimately miserable or destroyed, and the ideal woman or the sacrificial lamb. In this emotional discussion, we dissect this portrayal of feminine rage in media and literature, and how it shapes our societal interactions. Our homes, our social circles, and our online presence are places where we feel these influences. And we think about taking up space in those places today. We reminiscence about the shows we watched, and the books we read. We honor the angry women in our history and the anger we hold. And most importantly, we share personal stories about growing up in a culture of silence and violence. Join us for one last time, in rage. #NotHereFor #FeminineRage #podcast #cholokothaboli #RageAgainstRape This episode and series are a collaboration with BRAC JPGSPH and CREA.

    Not Here For : Denying Feminine Rage Episode 4 | In Public and Private Spaces

    Not Here For : Denying Feminine Rage | In Public and Private Spaces In the 4th episode of our Feminine Rage series, we establish how political and personal lives are not binary, and our anger is often the intersection. We ask who is allowed to be angry, and in which spaces. Watch the discussion to hear about how the mainstream feminism movement is not a safe space for intersectional anger, and how men often decide they get to be angry FOR us. This episode is about how feminine rage SHAPED politics. From garments workers taking the streets demanding their deserved pay to flooding social media during the #MeToo movement, attention was brought to important discussions when women got angry. We have the right to vote and work because one day, somewhere in the world, a woman was furious. We want to emphasize why that’s precisely why women are denied rage so profusely by society. Because it is a smoke signal, meaning that we’re aware of the injustice happening to us. Moreover, we want to point out how female politicians are often framed as ‘hysterical’ and ‘ugly’ when they’re assertive/critical.

    Not Here For: Denying Feminine Rage Episode 3 | The Legal Battle

    Not Here For: Denying Feminine Rage The Legal Battle For the third episode of our Feminine Rage series, we hear from female legal practitioners about their interactions within the legal framework as activists, the rage they have against the systematic injustice and the urgent legal reforms we need to break this current impasse. This episode aims to delve into the nuances of our legal system - a system that is flawed and accommodating of perpetrators, through outdated and discriminatory laws. Hear our guests talk about how their activism works within the legal framework of our country, as well as the national cases and demands of the Rape Law Reform Coalition. This conversation is especially important because of how difficult it has been, to understand and access our rights as women and femmes. Join our discussion as we unpack what enrages these lawyers about the system, and how this rage keeps them going back to the court to fight.
