Episode 8: Banned for Boobs - A Conversation with Dea Safira

Dialogika Podcast

WARNING: THIS EPISODE FEATURES STRONG LANGUAGE; PLEASE LISTEN AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. In this episode, we talk to Dea Safira, who got banned by Facebook for posting historical photos of topless Indonesian women. We discussed why we think it went viral, as well as digging a little bit into 'nipples history' (and the arbitrariness of all that). We talked about the social costs of being a feminist, especially in Indonesia, and how our privileges influence those costs. We also discuss data that shows all women, regardless of privileges, face more 'man-terruptions' and 'mansplaining' than their male counterparts. We wrap up the episode with a shoutout to all the awesome feminist organizations in Indonesia! Yay feminist validation!
