Confessions of a Gaslit Female
A Podcast Series by Livvy Hintz
Confessions of a Gaslit Female is a four part podcast series that discusses gaslighting, a psychological manipulation technique, and its role in the lives of women. The episodes examine different facets of the phenomenon, including its roots in American society, how it currently benefits the patriarchy and what can be done to stop it.
Episode 01/ Hysteria and its aftermath
This episode discusses the history of the sex-selective medical condition of hysteria and its byproducts, including the "crazy woman" stereotype and systemic gaslighting.
Episode 02/ Resist! Gaslighting as a form of oppression
Here I discuss the specific ways gaslighting oppresses women, such as silencing their voice and continuing repressive prejudices. This episode also lists examples of this phenomenon in action.
Episode 03/ Your self-gaslighting is caused by the patriarchy
The third part in this series defines self-gaslighting, and how, since gaslighting is so common in the female experience, women often internalize the abusive language and use it against themselves.
Episode 04/ Dismantling our Gaslit Nation
In the final episode, I explore possible solutions to dismantling this type of abuse -- which really means destroying the patriarchy. The ideas: legitimizing the gender spectrum and "active listening."
