Inclusion Has a Gender Problem: Why the Hidden Sexism in Education Hurts Everyone
Inclusion is supposed to be about fairness and equality, but this video reveals an uncomfortable truth: the system is built on outdated gender roles that actually harm the very people it aims to help. Drawing from the groundbreaking book "Das Geschlecht der Inklusion" by Jürgen Budde, Susanne Offen, and Anja Tervooren, we break down how care work in inclusive classrooms is dumped on underpaid women, how fathers and mothers get different access to resources for their kids, and why the push for "normalcy" is a trap. We explore the radical idea of crip/queer failure as a way to resist pressure to conform, and show how vulnerability and interdependence are not weaknesses but the foundation of real inclusion. If you think inclusion is just about ramps and special ed, this video will flip your perspective. Get ready to see the hidden sexism that makes inclusion a battlefield, not a safe space.
