Domestic Violence, Rape Culture and the Misogyny of Sports with Jaclyn Friedman and Dave Zirin
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Football is the most popular sport in the country, and one of our most popular forms of entertainment. Football culture has an enormous influence on our ideas about what it means to be a man, and what it means to be a woman.
We're being sold a deeply toxic version of masculinity, one that defines itself not only in opposition to female-ness, but as inherently superior, drawing its strength from dominance over women's "weakness," and creating men who are happy to deliberately undermine women's power.
Join Jaclyn Friedman, editor of the bestseller, Yes Means Yes,and David Zirin, sports editor of The Nation, for a conversation about some of the dark corners of professional sports.
