The myths about women that contribute to legal, medical, economic, social, political disadvantage do not operate independently. We silo them because it’s the only way we can explain and examine the detail of how they harm women and non-binary people. The only names we have for the big picture are patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, etc. Is change possible? How much change have we already achieved in the last 200 years? How to we protect what we’ve already done from backlash while we keep the momentum?

The final guest for the series is Emily Maguire, who will help connect all the threads from the series.

Fairy tale princess and romance myths teach boys that their fear and shame can be alleviated by exerting control over women while having no responsibility for their choice to use violence. They teach girls that they are responsible for boy’s emotions and behaviours and that their greatest achievement is to win the love of the Handsome Prince by proving that they are more unselfish than all the other girls. How do these myths benefit men who use coercive controlling techniques?

Can storytelling that challenges these myths make coercive control more difficult or less prevalent? What are the systemic changes we need to permanently alter the structure of coercive control?

We will dive into these questions with Jess Hill, author of See What You Made Me Do.

Unpack the myths about silence and voice with Steven Roberts, Professor of Education & Social Justice at Monash University.

Who has the power to speak and be heard? Who listens and why? TLM teaches women and girls that silence is loveable and feminine, boys learn their voices are important and powerful. How is this myth built into the structures (eg schools) that teach us to be adults and how does this impact the adult world?
