#82 Negative Body Image, Sexual Objectification, and How Beauty is Used Against Women with Dr. Caroline Heldman

Dela

 In this episode, I interview Dr. Caroline Heldman. She is Executive Director of The Representation Project, a Professor at Occidental College in Los Angeles, and the Senior Research Advisor for the Geena Davis Institute for Gender in Media. Her research specializes in media, the presidency, and systems of power (race, gender, ability, and sexuality). Dr. Heldman has published five books.

We talk about sexual objectification and how it is not actually powerful to be seen as a sex object highly desired by men AKA the male gaze. We explore why most Body Positive advertisements don't actually work or make a difference, and what do women do about the pressure to be thin and beautiful. Then we cover sexuality, being sexy and how to reclaim our sexuality after trauma, including eating disorders or sexual violence.

Be prepared to have a lot to ponder and digest after this jammed packed episode.
