Gender Trap - Ep 4 : Some Mysterious Wish (PREVIEW)

Nostalgia Trap

“What is a woman? What is a man?” Go fuck yourself! Those questions are traps! In this episode of Gender Trap, Yasmin and I talk about the right’s absurd yet powerful assault on all things gender-related, and how the left’s reactive, academic takes on gender hobble our ability to fight back. What would a popular left vision of gender actually look like? Because it ain’t RuPaul! We also, of course, bring an episode of Mad Men (S1, E2, “Ladies Room”) into the mix, as we examine how Betty and Don’s fucked up 1950s nightmare marriage showcases the trap of Cold War domestic gender roles in dynamic, psychologically gory detail.
