The Culture of Complicity
In this episode we examine how mainstream cultural norms in music, advertisement, publications, gaming, and pornography have created an overtly sexualized and objectified image of women that has impacted social norms and the behavior of men and women. Discussions amongst guests explore the line between freedom of expression and the objectification of women, the money that was invested in the objectification of women, and how individual behavior tolerated such objectification for business reasons or because it became the norm.
If we are to examine the root cause of sexual harassments, we need to examine the culture of complicity and the price we have to pay if we want to create real change in the treatment of women. Madonna Badger is the chief creative officer at Badger and Winters advertising agency and founder of the #WomenNotObjects campaign. Byron Hurt is a documentary filmmaker and activist. Samhita Mukhopadhyay is the newly named executive editor of Teen Vogue and the co-editor of "Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance and Revolution in Trump's America."
