Modern Manhood: The Podcast

Today we’re going to continue our exploration of things “nerdy.”  by talking about video games. And to help us, I invited Carolyn Petit who is the managing editor for Feminist Frequency. Now you might have heard of Feminist Frequency because of it’s executive director Anita Sarkeesan who was a prominent player in Gamergate. But besides this whole mess, I was more interested in how an almost male dominated platform as video games has effects in masculinity. How we see ourselves in this monster of a medium, in which many boys partake in, and how we can work to show a more wholesome narrative. Carolyn not only has experience in critique of these platforms, she’s also worked at GameSpot.com and is herself a transgendered woman. And we get a chance to talk about all of this.  You can find Carolyn and Feminist Frequency here: Carolyn Petit https://twitter.com/carolynmichelle Feminist Frequency: https://feministfrequency.com/ Modern Manhood is proud to be part of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB The mu
