KFAI's MinneCulture Presents

The Making of Male Dominance from The Center for Documentary Studies In this episode, we'll go deep beneath the #MeToo headlines to explore questions like: How, and when, did male dominance get started in the first place? We'll learn, perhaps surprisingly, that it was not at all the cave man who invented patriarchy. In fact, it's only been around for just a fraction of human history. During the Enlightenment, some thinkers argued that "all men are created equal" should have been "all people are created equal." Why is it they lost that argument? And how has this newly imposed patriarchy lasted even this long? The Making of Male Dominance is co-hosted by John Biewen with Celeste Headlee and was adapted from episodes of the Scene on Radio podcast series, MEN.

Transformations of a white supremacist and a jihadi extremist from Reckonings Frank Meeink was a white supremacist who became a top neo-Nazi leader and recruiter. Jesse Morton was one of the most prolific jihadi propagandists in the US. Both men have since recanted their beliefs, but what caused the pair to look beyond their ideologies? We'll explore that and why it is they joined these violent extremist movements at all. Producer Stephanie Lepp seeks to find what then moved them to abandon their lives of hate. Her podcast, Reckonings , continually explores how people come to change their hearts and minds.
