Wordslut — Language, Credibility, and Gendered Power (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores Wordslut by Amanda Montell as a systems-level analysis of how language norms shape power, credibility, and social belonging.
By focusing on stigma, standardization, and enforcement, the episode shows how speech patterns become tools for inclusion or exclusion — and why linguistic “neutrality” often masks deeply rooted hierarchies.
