Episode 80: A New Look at Old Stories

“Today’s episode explores how myths across various cultures have historically diminished the feminine divine and female autonomy, often portraying women as inherently flawed or dangerous. Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, a trans woman, uses personal experiences to illustrate how patriarchal structures perpetuate these harmful narratives. Dr. Hoerricks analyses specific mythological figures like Medusa and Lilith, demonstrating how their stories have been misinterpreted to justify female subjugation. Finally, they examine the continued presence of these damaging tropes in modern media while also highlighting examples of progress and reclaiming these narratives for empowerment.”
