Listen "How Culture Normalises Patriarchy"
Episode Synopsis
Norms matter, but how exactly? What are the precise mechanisms of cultural persistence? Drawing on my qualitative research in India, Mexico, Morocco, Zambia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Italy and Turkey, I suggest 8 ways in which culture perpetuates gender inequalities:
Loving mothers reproduce patriarchal sons
Men amass advantage and expect respect
Concern for social approval
Male-dominated public spaces are seen as lecherous
Dissent is suppressed
Despondency traps
Cultural celebrations naturalise inequalities
Religion
