In this episode of Messy Liberation, Becky, Taina, and guest Dee Frayne dive deep into the complexities behind white women's voting patterns, particularly the significant number who have supported Donald Trump. The conversation explores the role of patriarchy, internalized misogyny, and white supremacy in shaping these decisions, while also examining whether centering white women as 'the problem' is productive or counterproductive.
The discussion emphasizes the systemic nature of these issues, as well as the emotional labor involved in trying to change deeply embedded voting behaviors. With an honest and messy conversation, the hosts consider whether it's worth calling out or calling in fellow white women, and how those conversations should unfold in a way that invites real change, without placing undue burden on those harmed by these voting behaviors.
