"Feminism has always been a force for good and equality." Is that really true? In this conversation with retired Professor Janice Fiamengo, we examine feminism's actual origins, its pervasive influence on modern relationships, and why so many men and women are waking up to a very different reality than what we've been told. π Book an online session: https://laurahow.com/online-therapists/
Professor Janice Fiamengo, creator of The Fiamengo Files video series and author of Sons of Feminism, joins me for an unflinching look at how feminist ideology has shaped our attitudes toward men, marriage, and family life. From classrooms teaching children that men are the problem, to therapy rooms filled with women who've been taught to fear and distrust their husbands, we explore how these ideas have taken root and what the cost has been to both sexes.
This conversation challenges the narrative that feminism's only critics are those who hate women or want to deny them opportunities. Instead, we examine the historical record, question why certain perspectives have been suppressed, and ask what happens to societies that tell men they don't matter.
In this episode:
βοΈ Why feminism was never really about equality (the historical evidence)
βοΈ How anti-male messaging appears everywhere (schools, therapy, media)
βοΈ The victim mentality and why it's so appealing (and so destructive)
βοΈ What happens when women lose faith in men
βοΈ The natural order of family life and why it matters
βοΈ How to recognize feminist ideology in your own thinking
βοΈ Why restoring faith between the sexes is essential
βοΈ The good news: men don't actually want to harm women
βοΈ What a life centered on family and gratitude actually looks like
βοΈ Why psychological problems shouldn't be blamed on an entire sex
