Part 4/13:
A recurring theme is the pervasive influence of media and propaganda. From television portrayals like the iconic "Claire Huxable" character to modern advertising, societal norms have been carefully curated to redefine gender roles and expectations. The speaker notes that since the early 20th century—beginning with the Seneca Falls Convention—movements claiming to fight for equality have, in reality, fostered a victim-oppressor narrative that benefits a select few in positions of power. This programmatic shift has gradually infused all aspects of culture, from movies to politics, shaping perceptions and behaviors unconsciously.
