About this listen

In this episode we examine the resurgence of misogyny in 2025 and its impact on politics, social media, workplaces, and daily life. This backward slide is fueled by political backsliding, the spread of misogynistic ideologies online, and the normalization of sexism in various settings. The UN has raised concerns about deteriorating women's rights, and schools are witnessing a rise in sexism among young boys. Despite these challenges, activists and organizations are pushing back through education, advocacy, and community initiatives.

This episode is based on an essay co-written by me and ChatGPT, which we handed over to our colleagues at Google Notebook LM to generate the discussion. Together, we explore how individual actions—such as challenging sexist language, supporting women-led businesses, and voting for gender-equal policies—can contribute to meaningful change. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on why this issue matters now more than ever.
