Why Women Defend the Systems That HARM Them

Why Women Defend the Systems That HARM Them This conversation doesn’t get easier — it gets more honest. In Season 2, Episode 2 of Raised Red, Living Blue, we continue our conversation with Leisha Sayers — known online as @alabama.disgrace — diving deeper into the uncomfortable truths about patriarchy, religion, accountability, and why so many women continue to protect systems that harm them. This episode moves beyond why the conditioning exists and into who benefits from it — and who pays the price. 🚨 Leisha speaks candidly about:— Why patriarchy cannot survive without women enforcing it— How religion conditions obedience, silence, and submission— Why fear is the most effective political weapon— The difference between victimhood and responsibility— Why “I was raised this way” stops being an excuse— How accountability feels like an attack to people invested in comfort— What it’s like being politically awake in deep-red Alabama— Why neutrality and silence always side with power This episode challenges the idea that oppression only comes from “bad men” and asks a harder question: What happens when women help uphold the system? 🎧 Listen +.
