E51: All We Want Is Everything | Soraya Chemaly on Dismantling Male Supremacy - Advocacy in Action
Description
This week’s episode of Aspire is a grounded conversation about dismantling male supremacy, reclaiming women’s anger, and building a consent-based culture amid political backlash and digital threats. Hosts Chessy Prout and Susan Prout are joined by intern Co-host Meghan Boudreau and award-winning author and activist Soraya Chemaly, whose new book All We Want Is Everything examines how patriarchy shapes our daily lives and the high cost of supremacist systems to everyone.
Together, they explore how male supremacy feminizes marginalized people to maintain control, why “male fragility” mirrors white fragility in defensive responses to privilege, and the non-consensual foundations of tech platforms fueling misogyny and deepfakes. Soraya shares personal stories, like teaching her second-grader to reject a boy’s unwanted advances, while advocating feminist parenting, early emotional literacy, and Gen Z’s leadership in rejecting patriarchal norms.
Tune in to learn how to treat emotions as a form of intelligence, respond to privilege and bias without shame, and help build relationships and communities rooted in consent and shared power.
