Don’t let the name of the podcast fool you...it’s a passive-aggressive poke at the way women seem to be viewed by society: expendable objects to be utilized and quite literally ended, if a perpetrator so chooses..that’s the message that I GET from the lack of action over the entire world, within our societies to protect women and girls. Let’s face it: femocide is on the rise. If you’re anything like me, then you know how important it feels to witness the stories within these cases. To be able to identify patterns of misogyny in our own lives is empowering and can also make us feel more prepared. We will be discussing crimes that include honor killings, intimate partner violence, war crimes, anti-abortion violence..all things caused by misogyny. My hopes are to educate everyone on a safer society because EVERYONE lives in society. I’m neurodivergent af and am doing this podcast alone. Sometimes episodes are late, but i’m doing my best to get them out every other week!

Ep. 10: Witch Hunts Never Go Out of Style: The Many Faces of Patriarchy pt 1
From the chilling trials in Valais, Switzerland, to the tortured confessions of Pendle and Salem, this episode uncovers the long arc of misogyny cloaked in religious fervor and legal authority. We trace how accusations of heresy & witchcraft can come as a result of moral corruption and political instability — and have been wielded to control women, the poor, the different, and the defiant throughout history. With voices lost to fire and rope, and others silenced by shame or forced to flee, this isn’t just a story of the past. This is a ritual the patriarchy never quite stopped performing.
In part 2, we follow this ritual as it evolves—from the Puritan gallows to the propaganda of Nazi Germany, from Cold War suspicion to today’s backlash against inclusion. The targets may change, but the hunt remains the same.
