Let’s start here: feminism is not a phase.
It’s not a side hustle or a “women’s issue.”
It’s a vigilance practice. And for Dr. Orit Kamir, it’s been a life’s work.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kamir—feminist scholar, human rights researcher, and the woman behind Israel’s sexual harassment prevention law—to unpack the stories we’re told about equality… and the ones we tell ourselves to stay comfortable.

Orit grew up believing in the “equality myth”—the idea that things were already fine, that gender oppression was a thing of the past, or at least of other cultures. Spoiler: it wasn’t. And once she saw it clearly, there was no going back.

Together we talk about how patriarchy survives not through brute force, but through story. Through sanitized nostalgia, weaponized innocence, and the seductive lie that “we’ve already solved that.”
