It's A Lot with Abbie Chatfield

The trial of Lindsay Clancy has made headlines around the world and has sparked countless debates and conversations, some more productive than others. Abbie unpacks some of the extreme manosphere reactions, why we still have a long way to go when it comes to talking about mental illness, and why some hot takes actually have nothing to do with the case. NOTE: This podcast discusses details that may be disturbing for some listeners. Please listen with care and remember that help is always available at Lifeline on 13 11 14, or at lifeline.org.au.

Abbie found a new op shop book about gender roles!!! This one is called Why Men Don't Listen And Women Can't Read Maps, and of course features complete fabrications about 'caveman times', among many other hilarious takes that attempt to turn sexism into science. Plus a nice, long tangent about cheating and surveillance culture!

Abbie has made it well known on this podcast that she is not a fan of generative AI and LLMs. Abbie and Marc talk about why he wanted to focus on human stories, the real-world effects of AI he encountered when making the series, and how they've both had their views challenged by these stories.

Is misogyny really that bad? Well, yes, obviously! But now it's not just us screaming into the void. A new study from Melbourne University details the findings of research into the link between misogyny and youth radicalisation in Australia. Abbie has printed it out, gone through with the highlighter, and is here to distill it all to you chooks! The study features some great definitions of what misogyny actually is, plus some shocking stats on the growing generational divides in misogynistic beliefs. Side tangents include how personalised feeds have fucked up how we relate, and a lil meds reminder!!

Defamation laws have a long and strange history, and in recent years, these laws have been leveraged in order to silence women who attempt to speak out about abuse. In the midst of the cultural reckoning incited by the #MeToo movement, many women across the globe are facing a legal reckoning. This is the central point of the new documentary Silenced. The documentary's main subject is Jennifer Robinson, a human rights lawyer who represented Amber Heard during her testimony in the libel case brought by Johnny Depp against The Sun newspaper. Jennifer and Abbie discuss how defamation is weaponised, what responsibility the media has to prevent violence against women, and Abbie's personal regret in the way she engaged with the media circus around Amber Heard's legal battles.

Where's the line between engagement and exploitation? So-called 'stunt creators' on OnlyFans have stirred up a lot of controversy in the last few years, with some creators targeting teenagers at Schoolies, or attempting to break records for having sex with the most people. These stunts have led to rule changes on the platform, and debate within the sex work community and more broadly about their impact. Abbie has a lot of thoughts about 'stunt creators' but needs to hear more... So, the stars of Turned On: Dirty Sexy Money Annie Knight and Chloe Mira are here to share their perspectives.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussion of child sexual abuse. Help is available from the National Sexual Assault, Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service on 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) and Lifeline on 13 11 14. Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder) has long been misrepresented and misunderstood, but Dr Jeni Haynes is here to change that. In 2019, she made international headlines when she testified against her father, who was the perpetrator of years of sexual, physical and psychological abuse upon her. It was the first time in the Australian legal system to accept testimony from alters within a person living with DID was accepted as evidence in a criminal prosecution. Since her landmark case, Jeni has co-authored a memoir, and is the subject of a new feature-length documentary 'We Are Jeni'. Abbie sits down with Dr Jeni to discuss why she still identifies with the term MPD (but disagrees with the disorder part), how her alters make decisions, and her journey from not being believed to finding justice.

UPDATE FROM ABBIE: "Please note I've gotten two new pieces of information since publishing this episode; The first is that I had seen screenshots of Nara Smith using #tradwife, but I have since been told they were not real thanks to a follower! Any references to this have now been edited out of the episode. I have also found out that she has previously posted videos of herself drinking raw milk while pregnant." (It is illegal to sell raw/unpasteurised milk for human consumption in Australia) Nara Smith's appearance on Call Her Daddy caused some arguments online about what she does or doesn't stand for. Abbie unpacks why Nara never was a trad-wife, why some women are rejecting the title, and talks about the real dangers that these videos cause. Abbie also introduces us to a new woman in the tradwife space she's obsessed with, but first, Abbie has had some epiphs about the weirdo men in the comments of Adam's videos...

At just 16 years old Lily Schubert got sick, eventually receiving a diagnosis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. She was forced to drop out of school and was bedbound for six years. Her condition worsened to the point that even small exposures to light, sound, or touch would cause severe crashes. As her symptoms started to improve, she started documenting her life on TikTok, with videos of her 'firsts' reaching millions of people around the world. Lily sits down with Abbie to talk about the reality of living with ME, what helped her get through her darkest days, and why she doesn't subscribe to the 'gratitude' narrative.
