S03E12: Un-stereotyping the female porn artist Ft. Kali Sudhra 57:53

1+ y ago57:53

57:53

In this episode of our podcast, we are talking about something that we have all engaged with but are often stopping ourselves from talking about it. Porn as we know it is possibly the most consumed form of media out there. However, the vulgarisation of porn happens with this whole treatment of the form only for a titillating objectifying purpose. M…

S03E11: Un-stereotyping the female entrepreneur Ft. Shaili Chopra 37:12

1+ y ago37:12

37:12

Throughout the course of the episode this season, we have been talking about how gender is stereotyped in different work industries. When we speak about work, we generally think of someone working for someone else. Now, if you think about an entrepreneur it sounds very exciting because you are your own boss. But that also comes with a lot more resp…

S03E10: Un-stereotyping the woman in STEM Ft. Dr. A Mani 32:21

1+ y ago32:21

32:21

When we imagine a woman at work, what do we think? Or rather, what are we taught to think of? There are certain professions that our society assigns to women - workspaces that reflect values like nurture and caregiving. Imagining dynamic workspaces with women who ace the ladder through their skills is still slightly alien to us. Through the course …

S03E08: Un-stereotyping the female Journalist Ft. Mitali Mukherjee 34:46

1+ y ago34:46

34:46

We have discussed how gender reflects in various fields of work, in the previous episodes of this podcast. We all have different kinds of work environments. In some workplaces, we can afford to keep our persona, views, and opinions private. In other professions, that is not an option. Journalism is one such area of work where there is a lot of publ…

S03E07: Un-stereotyping the female in the development sector Ft. Anjali Gopalan 39:23

1+ y ago39:23

39:23

The development sector is among the many fields where critical investigations in social engineering, policy pushing, social audit, and accountability initiatives, happen, among other projects. Often, with women who work in this sector, there is a stereotypical representation attached - the NGO woman - geeky, always serious, somewhat rigid - and the…

S03E06: Un-stereotyping the female cinematographer Ft. Fowzia Fathima 38:02

2y ago38:02

38:02

While most of us are fans of cinema, for the majority of the population what comes through when they watch a movie, is the people they see on the screen. We are molded in a way to perceive what is on screen rather than what is off it. But there is so much more to movies than what we watch on screen. It's a long-drawn process and so many people are …

S03E05: Un-stereotyping the female artist Ft. Indu Antony 29:42

2y ago29:42

29:42

When we talk about the role of gender in art or the relationship between gender and art, we cannot discount the fact that gender presentation and representation in art is not just in the hand of the artist but an outcome of the sociocultural process that defines sexual and social identity. With this in mind, we also need to talk about what art/arti…

S03E04: Un-stereotyping the female academic Ft. Dr. Vibhuti Patel 46:43

2y ago46:43

46:43

Academia is a space that we all engage with for the longest part of our lives. From school to professional education spaces, universities, career milestones, and the like, we keep learning and keep interacting with some kind of mentorship/training. If we look at the people who work in academia, especially in research and teaching, there are a lot o…

S03E03: Un-stereotyping the female Athlete Ft. Manasi Joshi 40:41

2y ago40:41

40:41

The whole idea of how a sportsperson should be is constructed from a very masculine perspective, where even men are required to perform hypermasculinity to be taken seriously. Sports is also a career choice that a lot more individuals are pursuing today, compared to older times. We are also witnessing the entry of numerous female and queer athletes…

S03E02: Un-stereotyping the Sex Educator Ft. Leeza Mangaldas 44:04

2y ago44:04

44:04

Sex or anything around the topic is more often than not seen and depicted and talked about in a titillating fashion. When we talk about sex education, it is still looked at as something wrong, something that needs to be stopped. Many would rather have the wrong information about sex instead of actually sitting down with a sex educator. There is a n…

S03E01: Un-stereotyping the female comedian Ft. Radhika Vaz 44:40

2y ago44:40

44:40

All of us like to laugh, don't we? Humour keeps us going and adds that layer of lightness to our lives. When we look at comedy as a genre, there are various forms of it. There are political jokes, satire, sarcasm, there is sketch comedy, improvisation, imitation, and so on and so forth. But very often, we notice that jokes are gendered, in the sens…

3y ago36:06

36:06

Through this entire season we’ve had the great fortune of speaking with women who cover the length and breadth of everything that comes to mind when we think of pop culture! A recurring theme that we saw this entire season was the way in which we look at women who take up space in pop culture, whether they’re fictional characters or women just dari…

S02E10: The female gaze in films Ft. Alankrita Srivastava 44:49

3y ago44:49

44:49

When we think of pop culture, and commercial cinema with mainstream stars, we can see that women are almost always portrayed in certain pre-constructed ways - they look a certain way, belong to a certain age bracket or social location. Very rarely do we see women both in terms or actors as well as characters who are removed from these moulds. Slowl…

S02E08: The importance of books Ft. Urvashi Butalia 33:58

3y ago33:58

33:58

When the lockdowns started last year, and we had to spend a lot of time with ourselves, staying within, physically and emotionally, a lot of us found solace in fictional escape and imaginary worlds. We turned to literature for relief, relatability and reference. In todays episode, we will be discussing the importance of reading and books and why it…

S02E07: The age of digital Media Ft. Dhanya Rajendran 30:55

3y ago30:55

30:55

The change in news becoming digital, and the world moving online also means that the main source of information has become the internet. When we talk about journalists, their lives too have slowly become a topic of public discussion. But news sometimes tends to be hypermasculine and we hope there was a more gendered lens to it. So in today’s episod…

S02E06: Content and the internet Ft. Prapti Elizabeth 33:13

3y ago33:13

33:13

There are a lot of great ways in which we are getting entertained on the internet - the idea of consuming someones life and jokes as a form of entertainment may have begun with the advent of reality television but has now percolated to our phones through influencers and content creators. Social media stardom is huge in our country - but as with eve…

S02E05: Why do we 'badnaam' Munni? Ft. Smriti Kiran 47:49

3y ago47:49

47:49

One of the first thing that comes to mind when we think of pop culture with a critical lens is sexist tropes and item numbers. Most of our mainstream entertainment rides on the objectification of women, and item numbers are the most glamourised, sexed up tropes used in films to further this gaze. Now, the problem is not essentially about a woman wh…

S02E04: The rise of Indie Films Ft. Tillotama Shome 43:11

3y ago43:11

43:11

With the rise of OTT we have seen content consumption patterns in India undergoing massive change. The lines between what is an indie film and what is a mainstream film - what is masala and what is arthouse are blurring. And with this blur so is the way in which audiences engage with these films - but is this change slow? And how much further do we…

3y ago36:54

36:54

We all know that all art is a collaborative process and it must reflect the realities of all individuals and groups in the society. But most of the times, we see that popular culture is dominated by narratives that are exclusive of diversity and truth in terms of the representation of minorities. Joining us in this episode is filmmaker Jyoti Nisha …

S02E02: Is Censorship The Death Of Art? Ft. Nandita Das 48:53

3y ago48:53

48:53

At the face of it, censorship seems fairly straight forward. There’s a board that gives you a certificate - and that’s that, right? Um, not really! Censorship, with every passing day is getting more and more complex, with more questions than answers. Are we censoring ourselves online? Who decides what needs to be hidden away? Why is the fate of con…

S02E01: Why should pop-culture be feminist? Ft. Anna M.M. Vetticad 37:06

3y ago37:06

Why can’t feminists CHILL? It’s just movies and TV shows, every thing doesn’t need to be “Feminist”! Well actually - it totally does! Why, you ask? Because Pop-culture, much like everything else, is political! Joining our hosts Nishtha and Sukanya in this episode as they discuss pop culture through a feminist lens is veteran film critic Anna M.M. V…

3+ y ago32:41

32:41

From conversations about our health, to the strict rules that govern every aspect of our lives - our policies, language and ideals are increasingly cis heteronormative in this world. One often, even within the ambit of feminism forgets to take into account the trans rights movement. Joining our hosts in this episode of Intersectional Feminism Desi …

S01E11: What is Modern Love? Ft. Samar Halarnkar 30:06

4y ago30:06

30:06

Love flows and love ebbs, so to try to put love within the shackles and boundaries of caste, faith, gender and sexuality is a mute point. However several agencies in our life be it family, friends or even the State are now trying to paint a different picture of love. One that's riddled by binaries of our own creation. But that doesn't always have t…

S01E10: How is Feminism Political? Ft. Team FII 35:31

4y ago35:31

35:31

As feminists, the one thing we are exhausted of everyone telling us is that Feminism should be centred around 'women issues' and has no business speaking about national politics - but what people often forget is that the history of feminist struggles has always been political, be it black feminists who were at the forefront of the Civil Rights Move…

S01E09: Are we talking about our sexual health enough? Ft. Dr. Tanaya Narendra aka Dr. Cuterus! 38:19

4y ago38:19

38:19

That conversations around sexual and reproductive health in our country are not nearly common enough is a fact no one can deny. We’ve all probably skipped the famous chapter of ‘reproduction’ in our biology textbooks, and been given maybe one workshop on puberty and periods. Conversations around safe sex, consent and sex positivity? Forget about it…

S01E08: How does gender impact the news we consume? Ft Japleen Pasricha 47:49

4y ago47:49

47:49

At a time when Indian media is dominated by very angry male anchors all screaming about one perspective, one often wonders - is the media able to properly capture the various narratives of a story in our country? Or are we only consuming news and media from the male gaze? Joining our hosts Pragya and Nishtha in this episode of Intersectional Femini…

S01E07: Where do men fit in the Feminist movement? Ft. Manak Matiyani 38:05

4y ago38:05

38:05

As feminists, one refrain we constantly hear is that 'Feminism is only about women'. Today - we debunk that. Patriarchy is a system that has a tight grip over everyone, all genders and all sexualities. What is needed to fight this is feminism - so doesn't that make feminism about everyone? Joining our hosts Pragya and Nishtha in this episode of Int…

S01E06: How accessible are our public spaces for women with disability? Ft. Nidhi Goyal 43:17

4y ago43:17

43:17

For women the public sphere and space is a tricky domain. It is empowering and yet it poses so many challenges around safety, accessibility of roads and services etc. For women with disabilities, the same situation might become even more challenging. And the problem goes beyond just public spaces but also representation of persons with disability i…

That patriarchy and biases tend to creep into our everyday lives is not a secret to anybody. But what happens when these biases seep into the functioning of the very body that is supposed to be ensuring that citizens of this country get justice? In this episode of Intersectional Feminism-Desi Style our hosts Pragya and Nishtha are joined by Iswarya…

In times of Covid-19 when the world has been craving the physical touch, it seems like forging intimacy in the online realm has become our primary source of comfort. From meeting new people online to raunchy racy sexts, the internet has slowly transformed into a great tool for connecting with people and discovering your own sexuality. But is the in…

It’s impossible for people to be living and consuming content online these days without having glaring ideas of the ideal body type being shoved down their throats - be it social media, pop culture, adverts, music, family and society: everyone seems to have an opinion on what our bodies should be like and they don’t hesitate for a second in making …
