The Pink Patriarchy: When Feminism Starts Policing Women
from SWOP Behind Bars Advocacy from the Margins · host Swopbehindbars
This episode explores the "pink patriarchy": how mainstream feminist institutions, shaped by funding, respectability politics, and carceral approaches, end up excluding sex workers, trans women, incarcerated and undocumented women from power and protection. It traces how rescue narratives and policy incentives silence lived experience, critiques carceral solutions like the Nordic Model, and calls for funding, shared governance, and decriminalization to make feminism truly inclusive.
