Did y’all know that “gossip” became a misogynistic term + that some of our anatomy is named after men who purported to “discover” them? I break down this history here One of my favorite @theyoungturks discussions was a casual post-game with @anakasparianofficial. She gave me a platform to deconstruct the gendered history behind the word “gossip” (which was converted to a deeply misogynistic term)+ how it was tied to a newly emerging sociopolitical + economic order that sought to control + discipline women’s bodies (+ also to break female/femme friendships). I’m grateful for social theorist Silvia Federici + radical doula @glowmaven for teaching me this history (+ for #TYT offering a space to explore + unearth these hidden histories). Watch + let us know what y’all think (+ if you want more of this!) * * * * * * #journalism #historians #womenjournalists #womenshistory #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind #decolonizethebody #radicalhistory #gender #learning #speaktruth
