Who Made Her Jezebel?
from This Is My Syncopated Life Hosted by Dr. Patrice M. Charles, Ph.D.
When a husband cheats, why does the other woman so often end up in the hot seat? In “Who Made Her Jezebel?”, Dr. Charles interrogates the gendered—and for Black women, racialized—storytelling that transforms a man who made a choice into a helpless victim of temptation while transforming a woman into Jezebel. Through Black Feminist Thought, accountability, vulnerability, sexuality, betrayal, and the politics of who gets scrutinized, Dr. Charles asks the question hiding underneath the scandal: Who decided she was the unit of analysis—and whose behavior disappeared when they did? Because accountability does not require innocence. Scrutinize her behavior if you must. But put everybody's agency back on the table.
