Description

Although Matt McGorry is best known for his role as Asher Millstone on ABC's How to Get Away With Murder, he is also increasingly known for speaking out on issues of sexism, racism and white male allyship in the struggles against both. With reports of widespread male sexual predation emerging from Hollywood (and the world of politics), Matt's take on these subjects, both in and outside the entertainment industry, is especially timely. On this episode we discuss misogyny and structural white supremacy, the problematic concepts of "good men" or "good white people" (and why our intentions aren't the point where oppression is involved), and navigating these subjects while in the public eye as a celebrity.
