What does geography has to do with the way we see gender?, with Bill Hatcher

Throughout human and non-human history, animal societies with more access to food, water, and better living conditions tended toward matriarchies. On the other side, patriarchal societies were located in regions with harsh conditions, such as deserts and poles. Bill Hatcher, a professor of Geography and Anthropology in Colorado and author of the book The Red Planet, explains his Gendered Landscapes Theory. Join us in this Lantern Voices episode to discuss geography, anthropology, gender, and archetypes.Episode links:Get The Red Planet at our ebook store: https://lanternpm.org/shop/the-red-planet-gendered-landscapes-and-violent-inequalities/Join us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lanternpublishingandmediaFollow Lantern on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lanternpm/Sign up for our newsletter: https://lanternpm.org/subscribe/Check out Hope for the Animals podcast: https://hopefortheanimalspodcast.org/Check out Better Life for Animals podcast: https://betterlifeforanimals.com/podcast/
