61. The Challenges of Organizing Women-Only Events │ Samantha Berg

Whose Body Is It

Samantha Berg has been in the feminist movement for 20 years, as a writer, activist and organizer. In her efforts to end the sexual exploitation of women, Sam saw that men who identified as women and as “sex workers” were leading various movements to legalize commercial sex. While organizing events focused on the Nordic Model and other pro-woman policies, Sam's activism was repeatedly threatened by TRAs hell-bent on stopping her from speaking and organizing without men. They used tactics like spamming women with pornography, sitting outside event hotels and making death threats.

In this episode, you’ll hear about some of the earliest battles between women’s liberation groups and trans activists, contextualizing the current fight for women’s liberation and free speech. If you’ve been bewildered and outraged as to why men are so determined to keep women from educating ourselves and each other around the world, this episode is for you.
