Alcohol plays a large part in a lot of unwanted, unconsensual sexual encounters
How does alcohol intersect with sexual assault, and what role does society play in perpetuating these issues? In this compelling episode of 'Soberful', Veronica Valli and Chip Somers tackle these hard-hitting questions. Recorded the day after the Senate hearings on Brett Kavanaugh, the episode dives deep into the complex relationship between alcohol use and sexual violence.
Valli and Somers dissect how patriarchy and toxic masculinity create environments where such behavior can thrive, and stress the need for more open conversations about these topics. They don't shy away from discussing the impact of social media and pornography on sexual attitudes, highlighting how these factors can distort perceptions and contribute to harmful behaviors. Accountability, especially for men, is a recurring theme throughout their discussion.
The hosts emphasize the importance of holding powerful individuals accountable and reflect on the transformative power of the Me Too movement. Veronica poignantly states, 'we are losing male role models and abandoning children at the rate of knots', urging listeners to take part in fostering a culture of responsibility and support. This episode isn't just an exploration; it's a call to action for anyone committed to making a difference.
Tune in for a raw, thought-provoking conversation that challenges societal norms and pushes for change.
