Welcome to episode 54 of Amerisogyny, where I dissect the deep-rooted misogynistic tendencies in America and across the globe. This episode provides a thought-provoking assessment of the recent changes to Roe v. Wade, revelations from the documentary "Quiet on Set", concerning child exploitation in Hollywood, and the profound impacts of misogyny on the human mind, body, and spirit.
Join me, Hannah Blue, as I penetrate the world of Amerisogyny, a term I coined to express the fusion of American and global misogyny. Discover the distressing state of women's representation across the US and understand the damaging effects of societal misogyny. Uncover the terrifying story of Brian Peck's exploitation of former Nicklelodeon star Drake Bell, and the industry giants who defended him amongst a culture of victim blaming in the explosive documentary Quiet On Set.
I brave the issue of misogyny on a global scale, spotlighting challenges such as discrimination, pay disparity, and victim-blaming confronting women universally. I also spark an engaging debate on the concept of the 'second sexism'. Get updates on distressing stories of celebrities, demonstrating how misogyny displays itself in distinct forms worldwide.
Amerisogyny courageously explores the public reputations of Hip Hop and R&B artists - Dre and Chris Brown. I underscore the stark differences in their public reception and career trajectories following incidents of domestic violence--especially Dr. Dre's violent history of abusing Dee Barnes and singer Michel'le. I also discuss the vulnerability of black women in America, and the hypocrisy within the entertainment industry.
In the concluding segment, I explore mental health crises and discuss the tragic case of Ryan Gainer, a 15-year-old young man with autism, who lost his life to police violence. I also express my concerns about involving law enforcement to de-escalate situations involving people experiencing mental health crises. In addition, I offer my listeners some cautionary advice. This episode transcends basic discourse, as I demand better futures for black and brown people grappling with mental health issues.
