Ep. 9 | Behind Feminism's Curtain: JP Morgan, Rockefeller, The Federal Reserve, and the Industrial Revolution's Role
Hey legends, welcome to 'Controversial as Fuck.' Today, we're diving into a history lesson that will connect dots you never saw coming—between the first wave of feminism, financial giants like JP Morgan and the Rockefeller family, and seismic economic shifts like the Federal Reserve. You might be wondering, how does all this tie together? Stick with me.
Imagine women fighting for their right to vote, while at the same time, powerful industrialists were making strategic moves to reshape society and the economy. These so-called philanthropists weren't just supporting women's rights out of the goodness of their hearts. There were deeper, more strategic motives at play, influencing everything from the workforce to family dynamics.
We'll also uncover the forgotten voices of the anti-suffrage movement—women who opposed voting rights, fearing it would disrupt societal balance. And we'll question how much of what we're taught about feminism is actually true, shaped by those who controlled the narrative.
Ready to challenge what you think you know about history? Tune in as we unravel these hidden connections and explore the forces that have shaped our world in ways you never imagined. This episode promises light bulb moments and a fresh perspective on feminism and economic strategy. Don't miss it!
Ep. 06 | Feminism: Liberation or Modern-Day Victimhood?
In this episode, we're tearing into feminism. From its start to what it’s become today, we're asking the hard questions. Is feminism really about choice, or was it about not being seen as property? We'll break down the four waves of feminism and see how we got from fighting for voting rights to the #MeToo movement.
Is feminism just another word for egalitarianism? Spoiler: it's not, and we're diving into why pushing for equal rights across the board might actually be setting women up for failure. And the patriarchy? We’re dissecting if it’s really this evil system men cooked up to keep women down or if it’s just rooted in biology and evolution.
I’ve got serious issues with modern feminism, and I’m not holding back. From the destruction of the nuclear family to the victim mentality it perpetuates, we're going there. This episode isn’t about tiptoeing around feelings; it’s about getting real with what feminism is and what it’s doing today. Buckle up, it’s going to be a wild ride.
