Gender is Seemingly Unrelated To Everything We Think

CAMDEN, U.K. - Rezul -- The hit podcast Seemingly Unrelated returns for its third season and hosts Dr. Andrew Johnstone and Alicia Britt are taking on their most provocative subject yet: gender.

Tackling the question of gender through the unexpected, often startling connections that shaped what we even mean by the word. The social construct assembled from centuries of misreadings, accidental borrowing, political convenience, and the occasional game of telephone played across cultures and millennia.

"Every episode this season starts somewhere you'd never expect and ends somewhere you'd never guess," said Dr. Johnstone. "We trace these threads not to score political points, but to show that the categories we treat as timeless and natural were, almost without exception, invented  sometimes deliberately, sometimes by accident, and sometimes because someone considered a crucifix for their fetish ."

Each week, Johnstone and Britt unpack a single thread connecting seemingly unrelated moments in history, science, and culture unravelling assumptions about masculinity, femininity, and the very idea that gender has ever been a settled question.

Season 3 episodes include:

• Pink vs. Blue — what a 19th-century Russian burial rite has to do with a Mattel doll
• Skirting the Issue — How Elizabeth I, a monarch dead for over four centuries, would have had opinions about the hemlines of modern schoolchildren
• Gaia's Identity Crisis — Why we call Mother Nature a "mother" at all, and how Protestant radicals' complicated feelings about the Virgin Mary accidentally feminized the entire planet
• The Stoic Stereotype — Men aren't always the logical, emotionless ones. The original Stoics would like a word
• Fishwives and Fairways — How the first game of mini-golf exists because Scottish fisherwomen had a better drive than most Scotsmen
• Taco Diplomacy — How your favorite fish taco ingredient is quietly helping people access gender-affirming surgery today

The through-line is that gender has never been one thing. It's been borrowed, bent, repurposed, and reasserted so many times that the idea of a 'traditional' version is almost comical.
