For our last episode of the season, we talk to Gabby Hewitt, mom of two and a former history and government teacher, about how to talk to (young) kids about the elections. She shares what she’s learned about focusing on values over political identity and helping children question the tendency to put everything into neat categories (aka schema theory). When we develop critical thinking skills, we learn there are not just two sides in history and politics: there are many, many sides. Feminist CrushesThe movie Cuties and the quote by the writer and director, Maimouna Doucoure: “This film is my own story. All my life, I have juggled two cultures: Senegalese and French. As a result, people often ask me about the oppression of women in more traditional societies. And I always ask: But isn't the objectification of women's bodies in Western Europe and the United States another kind of oppression? When girls feel so judged at such a young age, how much freedom will they ever truly have in life?” I just think it is a really important film for feminist moms to watch.

How can we turn our anxiety about the upcoming election into productive action? In this episode we talk to Francoise Stovall about what it would mean to have a true democracy and why there are reasons to be hopeful. She offers ways for busy moms to help invite more people into the process and inspires us to take action beyond voting. Feminist CrushesAs people suggest that Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, is a feminist, this quote from Bell Hooks’ book, Feminism is for Everybody: “Lifestyle feminism ushered in the notion that there could be as many versions of feminism as there were women. Suddenly the politics was being slowly removed from feminism. And the assumption prevailed that no matter what a woman’s politics, be she conservative or liberal, she too could fit feminism into her existing lifestyle. Obviously this way of thinking has made feminism more acceptable because its underlying assumption is that women can be feminists without fundamentally challenging and changing themselves or the culture.” https://rep.club/collections/books/products/transcendent-kingdom (Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi) https://thejunecup.com/collections/frontpage/products/the-june-cup-regular?gclid=CjwKCAjw8MD7BRArEiwAGZsrBWfqxRh7PNsZoTVfow3lxSw9h3pwjH7fh61N6TeKO749XPsbL4YSLBoCltcQAvD_BwE (June Menstrual Cup) Mentions:https://votolatino.org/ (Voto Latino) https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781580050753 (Cunt) by Inga Muscio https://swingleft.org/ (Swing Left) https://indivisible.org/ (Indivisible) https://front.moveon.org/ (Move On) https://colorofchange.org/ (Color of Change) https://www.citizen.org/ (Public Citizen) https://www.commoncause.org/ (Common Cause) https://workingfamilies.org/ (Working Families Party) https://iowansfordcstatehood.com/ (Iowans for DC Statehood) https://rep.club/products/hood-feminism?_pos=1and_sid=ef5072fc4and_ss=r (Hood Feminism) by MIkki Kendall About Francoise StovallFrancoise has dedicated her career to working for inclusive and accountable democracy, both at home and around the world.

In this episode we explore the tendency to think about gender as being two distinct, binary categories: boy and girl, man and woman. We talk about how parents and society impose this binary understanding of gender on our children and how we can do it differently. We’re joined by our special guest Neela Ghoshal, who shares her stories and experiences as a queer feminist mother of two young children and as a researcher and advocate on human rights violations affecting LGBTQ people in the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Asia with Human Rights Watch. Note: Neela has lived much of her adult life in Kenya and talks about the cultural space in Kenya for discussing gender fluidity. Since much of our audience is in the United States, we wanted to acknowledge that there is a colonial legacy behind these gender norms in Kenya, in which European colonizers imposed laws to reinforce and uphold the gender binary. Neela discusses this colonial legacy more in depth in her chapter in the book, https://demeterpress.org/books/feminist-parenting-perspectives-from-africa-and-beyond/ (Feminist Parenting: Perspectives from Africa and Beyond), published by Demeter Press.

In her work at Human Rights Watch, she conducts research and advocacy on human rights violations affecting LGBTQ people in the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Neela defies many binaries, struggling with and simultaneously embracing being neither/nor, both/and: she is pansexual (neither gay nor straight), biracial (South Asian and white), bicontinental (rooted in the US and Kenya), agnostic (as the child of secular parents of Hindu and Christian heritage), and the mother of multiricial, third culture children. She spent 40 years considering herself firmly female and uses female pronouns, but is no longer convinced she knows what that means. Neela is a recent transplant to Washington DC. She also recently had a chapter published in the book https://demeterpress.org/books/feminist-parenting-perspectives-from-africa-and-beyond/ (Feminist Parenting: Perspectives from Africa and Beyond), where she wrote about parenting outside the gender binary.
