S2E2 - Policing Women's Bodies

Published: Dec. 3, 2021, 1:09 p.m.

b'In this episode, we talk to Ea H\\xf8g Utoft, a most inspiring political science scholar at Aarhus University, on gender equality.

We discuss an array of instances in which women\\u2019s bodies are objectified, sexualized, and policed by society - be it with banning young girls and women from wearing crop tops to school or sport bras to the gym, or telling Muslim women not to wear religious head-covering.

Ea brings in the lens of a \\u201cpostfeminist gender regime\\u201d to discuss how, in Denmark, gender inequalities tend to become buried underneath a discourse of gender-related progress, which generates a set of frustrations difficulties for women and (other) gender minorities in fighting for a more equal and equitable society.'
