Episode 142: Toxic Masculinity f/ Daniela Contreras

Devon and Varsha discuss toxic masculinity in 3 parts: Manafort and Cohen’s crimes and Trump’s mob boss mentality, the strength of the Me Too movement as a whole and why men want to take it down so badly, and how making the death of a young white woman about immigrant status instead of male violence keeps toxic masculinity in power.

Devon also sits down with Daniela Contreras, a DREAMer and spokeswoman for the Me Too and Time’s Up movements with the National Domestic Worker’s Alliance. They discuss fear, immgration status and sexual harrasment in domestic work spaces.
