Content Warning: this conversation includes explicit discussion of rape and sexual assault.

At the top of three occupational citadels—the judiciary, arts, and sports—sit men whose pride is protected by their power. In Citadels of Pride, renowned law and ethics expert Martha C. Nussbaum argues that when this pride becomes exploitative, it perpetuates systemic sexual abuse, narcissism, and toxic masculinity. At CHF, Nussbaum and fellow law professor Jonathan S. Masur discuss the gaps in our legal system that enable such violence and imagine a future where survivors of abuse are empowered to share their stories, demand change, and build reform.
