The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast

OwlTail

Zawn Villines returns to the show this week. Together we explore how men use the family court system to continue to abuse women. Zawn shares the harrowing story of Caroline Youseff Kassenoff, who experienced post-separation abuse in its most extreme form and who the family court system failed horribly. We discussed Kayden’s Law, double standards around mental health and infidelity, and how to quietly quit your marriage if you simply can’t leave. Zawn Villines is a feminist activist and writer who focuses on misogyny in motherhood and marriage. Her work argues that mothers are central to the feminist project and that fathers must participate equally in household and parenting labor. She believes that inequality in marriage is a primary driver of sexism and limits women's lives and futures.   Featured topics include:   DARVO and how it plays into coercive control and post-separation abuse within family courts (15:48)   The double standard around mental health and infidelity between men and women (19:57(   Why men must hear, “Being an extraordinary husband gets you an extraordinary wife. It gets you a better life.” (31:40)   “Marriage is a huge and dangerous gamble that is not worth undertaking for most women.” (35:11)   Quiet quitting: If you can’t leave, how can you still make a meaningful life? (35:35)   Kids know what is happening and eventually discover the truth - there often is justice down the line.

Mothers are raising the next generation of resistance.   Resources &amp; Links: Information and links may also be found at:  https://kateanthony.com/podcast/episode-220-post-separation-abuse-and-the-failure-of-the-family-court-system-with-zawn-villines/ Zawn’s website Zawn on Facebook Zawn on Instagram Subscribe to Zawn’s newsletter!988 Suicide &amp; Crisis Lifeline‘Do not let my demise be in vain,’ Jess Taylor  TODAY’S EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY: SOBERLINK Proof.

Episode 220: Post-Separation Abuse and The Failure of the Family Court System with Zawn Villines

65-75% of women say they would get divorced if they could, but the fear of post-separation abuse and the court system often prevent them from leaving unequal relationships. And quite frankly, women are fed up, and we have every right to be. Zawn Villines, a feminist activist and writer, joins me for a conversation about misogyny in motherhood and marriage; and how to start advocating for yourself and the women around you. Through her work, Zawn argues that mothers are central to the feminist project and that fathers must participate equally in household and parenting labor. She believes that inequality in marriage is a primary driver of sexism and limits women's lives and futures. In this episode, Zawn and I talk about the division of labor in a marriage, how to communicate openly about creating a shared partnership early on in your relationship, and what to do if you are in a marriage where your partner isn’t participating in parenting and other responsibilities equally. I am such a fan of Zawn’s work, and in fact, I share it all the time. I am thrilled to have her on the show! Featured topics include:  Zawn describes her background as a feminist and how she came to focus on issues of inequality in marriage and motherhood (1:42) If you are going to be in a long-term relationship with someone, it should be passionate, romantic, full of love, and also a real partnership (5:02) Zawn describes her viral Facebook post about men not contributing enough in heterosexual relationships and the response she received from it (10:17) Why it is imperative we create parenting standards that apply to both parents (25:37) A bad husband who abuses his partner is not a good dad, plain and simple (26:33) Productive conversations about household labor involve acknowledging it is work and stepping up when necessary (37:28) Marriage shouldn't feel exhausting from putting in too much work; it should be a happy, fulfilling partnership (43:43)  Learn more about Zawn Villines: Zawn Villines is a feminist activist and writer who focuses on misogyny in motherhood and marriage.
