Where does the trope of the human animal come from and why is it fallacious? Why is neutrality a form of oblivion? That is what I am discussing in today's episode.

The International Day of Women's Rights is coming up and I'm already feeling just a tiny bit apprehensive. While I believe that awareness raising is important, I resent the capitalist co-optation of a day that is anything but meant to make profits. My other caveat is inappropriate messaging that leads us to think it's about celebrating strong women in ways that actually silence them and wash over the real struggles that women are facing. And can we talk about why we cannot assume any universality of women's needs?Mentioned readings: Lila Abu Lughod - Do Muslim Women Need Saving?Giorgio Agamben - Homo SacerPhyllis Chester - Women and MadnessSaidiya Hartman - Wayward LivesChandra Mohanty - Feminism and WarSaba Mahmood - Politics of PietySabrina Strings - Fearing the Black BodySome more black feminist authors: Audre Lorde, bell hooks, Lola Olufemi, Françoise Vergès, Gayatri Chakravorty SpivakWatch Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Ted Talk 'The danger of a single story'Follow me on Instagram: @complete_dissonance_podcastResearch, production and editing: Complete Dissonance PodcastLogo: @ozymandias.jsMusic: Pixabay

Content warning: mention of war, genocide and abuse. In the face of current events, do we have a moral obligation to care? Or do we have a right to put our own happiness first and look away? Are claims of empathy always real? These are a few of the questions I discuss in this episode. You’ll also hear one of my favorite poems, ‘Home’ by Warsan Shire as an introduction to the episode.Research, production and editing: Complete Dissonance PodcastFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_dissonance_podcast?igsh=aGFtMWx6bW4zbGNl&utm_source=qrMusic: PixabayLogo: @ozymandias.js
