South Asia has religious traditions with an extraordinarily rich pantheon of goddesses. But why does this female divinity not translate into our cultural and everyday practices? In this episode, we deep dive into the very gap that exists between idealism and actuality in regards to the treatment of female divinity and actual women. Follow for more!

19. The Feminist Guide to Anti-Speciesism: Part I with Professor Jennifer Everett
In the first installment of The Feminist Guide to Anti-Speciesism, I sit down with Professor Jennifer Everett—philosopher, professor, and one of the most thoughtful voices on animal ethics and feminist theory. We explore how she first entered the field, why suffering isn’t the only moral lens that matters, and how relationships, care, and power shape the way humans treat non-human animals. This episode traces the subtle (and not-so-subtle) connections between gender, domination, and the boundaries of our moral community.
