#77. The Glorification of Feminist Violence
The Psychobabble Show
On June 3, 1968, Valerie Solanas walked into Andy Warhol’s studio and shot him. Decades later, she has become a feminist icon, her SCUM Manifesto is taught in universities, and Hollywood celebrated her life in a major film that is now returning to theaters in a new restoration.
How did an attempted murderer become a cultural hero?
In this episode I’m joined by Janice Fiamengo, Tom Golden, and Jim Nuzzo to explore one of the most striking double standards in modern culture: why female violence is so often explained, romanticized, and even celebrated, while male violence is treated as evidence of innate evil.

I totally enjoyed the four of you being on fire.
Speaking up loudly, and in some instances, cross talking .. this is great. Natural. Presentation and Debate.
What I like though is being reminded not to glorify bullshit. To be reminded that just because someone has been pushed to the very edge of their existence that sometimes the internal message should be, 'Walk away now. Just walk away now. As hard as it is, just walk away.'
And it manifests itself in all aspects of western society, especially in the courts. Women are not really held accountable for their actions like men are.
US but same in ALL western societies
There is a HUGE BIAS IN FAVOUR OF WOMEN in courts
Men receive sentences in criminal cases that are 63% higher than women for the same crimes
Prof. Starr's research shows large unexplained gender disparities in federal criminal cases
