Sexism and the personal essay

Sexism and the personal essay

Author: SPHS Tiger Newspaper September 15, 2021 Duration: 23:23

This week, we dive back into a conversation about sexism and double standards, especially in regards to creative exercises like writing. 


There's a particular kind of conversation that happens late at night, when the day's headlines settle and personal stories begin to surface. That's the space where you'll find Nightmare On Mission Street, a podcast hosted by Cloe Maurer and Amber Chen. Rather than offering detached analysis, each episode weaves together the threads of current events with the hosts' own lived experiences and perspectives, creating a dialogue that feels both immediate and intimate. This is a show deeply engaged with society and culture, but it approaches these broad categories through the lens of personal journals and candid reflection. As you listen, you'll hear them navigate the complexities of the world not as distant commentators, but as individuals figuring things out in real time. It's important to note that the views expressed here belong solely to the hosts and do not represent SPHS, SPUSD, its employees, or Tiger Newspaper. The entire project is a labor of independent thought from the SPHS Tiger Newspaper team, and they actively invite your voice into the mix-episode ideas and general input are always welcome. Tuning into this podcast feels less like attending a lecture and more like pulling up a chair to a necessary, ongoing conversation about everything that matters, and a few things that are just wonderfully strange.
