Online Harassment and Women’s Resistance

When words become weapons, women rise in resistance.

  Listen now as Betsy Wurzel and Alia Dastagir expose the
hidden toll of online harassment — and celebrate the strength of
women who refuse to stay silent.

In this episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel speaks
with journalist and author Alia Dastagir about her groundbreaking
book To Those Who Have Confused You to Be a Person: Words as
Violence and Stories of Women’s Resistance Online. Alia opens up
about the emotional toll of online harassment, including death and
rape threats from strangers, revealing how digital abuse harms
mental health and silences women’s voices. Together, Betsy and Alia
explore why stronger protections and clearer social-media
guidelines are urgently needed. Their conversation shines a light
on how words can wound, yet also shows the power of women’s courage
and connection in the face of hate. 

To Those Who Have Confused You to Be a Person is available
now.
