We are going through historical times. Everything can change in a minute. Our society can become even more misogynistic or we could finally live in an equal society. But to try to build a feminist world, we need a Method. In this 6-part series, Rebecca Amsellem, a French-Canadian feminist activist, investigates how we could achieve a successful feminist movement.
To try and build this method, she has interviewed women who helped her understand what the word feminist really means: French philosophers Geneviève Fraisse and Manon Garcia. American ethnographer Kristen Ghodsee. The Argentinean leader of the Ni Una Menos movement, Veronica Gago. English author Reni Eddo Lodge. Pakistani and American lawyer Rafia Zakaria. Canadian researcher Carla Bergman and her co-author Nick Montgomery. American political videographer Natalie Wynn. French political scientist Réjane Sénac. Italian aerospace engineer and activist Yuri Casalino. And American novelist Sarah Schulman.
The Method is coming to you soon, and will be available on all podcast-streaming platforms on May 11th, 2022.

Why do women in heterosexual relationships often find it so difficult to express their desires? Why is it often men who are expected to make the first move, to control and conquer? If the sexual revolution was a salvation, we must now carry out a revolution of desire. To repair the desires of women, who are used to waiting, responding, restricting themselves and being ashamed of their desires.
In this episode, the philosopher Manon Garcia, author of The Conversation of sexes, tells us how women’s desires in a patriarchal society are shaped only in response to men’s desires. Fantasies of submission, beauty and thinness are the fruits of a society that wants to shape “models”. Kristen Ghodsee, ethnographer, author of Why do women have a better sex life under socialism?, explains why capitalism also contributes to inhibit women's desires.
