My recent article in @msmagazine.com. I am tired of women being hurt, watched, harassed, questioned and doubted. I’m tired of women being handed an ever-growing list of precautions, then asked what we did wrong when we’re harmed.

"Women don’t need another lesson in how to protect ourselves. We’ve had a lifetime of them."

The Difference Between His Safety and Hers

I recently saw a social media post that I can’t stop thinking about: “If a man was severely intoxicated around seven women, he would actually be in the safest place he could possibly be. He'd be taken...

I can’t stop thinking about this. “If a man was severely intoxicated around 7 women, he would actually be in the safest place he could possibly be. He'd be taken care of on every level. He'd be hydrated, fed, given meds and a cozy place to lay down. I can't stop thinking about that difference.”

“Equality is not a dream. It is a decision.” — António Guterres Women are still fighting for an equal seat at the table. But the messages about who leads, who speaks, and who follows begin long before women ever get there. That is not a pipeline problem. That is a starting-line problem.

Power Doesn’t Have To Look As It Always Has

At last week’s United Nations General Assembly General Debate, two leaders gave very different speeches about power.

I am confident, too, women would do better!

I’m honored to be part of this special event. Please join me and the College of DuPage Women’s Studies Committee for an evening celebrating women’s leadership, service, and impact!

A new UN report warns that a deliberate political retreat from gender equality is reversing decades of progress and calls for equal power for women everywhere. Inequality begins before the age of five, and the impact is lifelong. It’s why I wrote More Than a Doll. www.amazon.com/More-Than-Do...

From Good Good Golf, to Sydney Sweeney and Novig, to Texas QB Arch Manning calling an AI-generated video of head coach Steve Sarkisian slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe “hilarious”… If you want to know why this shit keeps happening, read my book, More Than a Doll. www.amazon.com/More-Than-Do...

A person with good character doesn’t lie, cheat, or harm others. It’s that simple. The Tate brothers are staying in jail. Boys & young men need better role models & we need to stop idolizing grifters - including some in our current administration. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/08/24/o...

Jodi Bondi Norgaard: The Tate brothers and the amplification of misogyny

The Tate brothers built a following, became extremely wealthy and gained influence by degrading women. Unfortunately, they are hardly unique.

Jodi Bondi Norgaard: Companies taking action after Good Good Golf ad is evidence of accountability

Using violence against women to sell a product is appalling. Why was this Callaway and Good Good Golf ad approved?

Women’s Equality Day was this week. But when does inequality begin? The moment a child can hold a toy, open a book, or watch a screen. It’s why I wrote More Than a Doll. If we want equality, we have to look at the root of the problem. Order your copy here - www.jodibondinorgaard.com/books

A big thanks to the Chicago Tribune for publishing my latest piece. We give enormous attention to those who profit from degrading women, while people working to create opportunities for girls and women fight for a fraction of it. jodibondinorgaard.substack.com/p/the-tate-b...

I wrote about this pattern. The New York Times has been asking how women should change. Today, Scott Galloway is asked about struggling young men and what society can do to help them. Why do we keep asking women to adapt while asking what society can do to help men? msmagazine.com/2026/07/31/n...

Never Surrender: Empowered Wives Were Never the Problem

Women are not the problem, media narratives urging women to "surrender" while ignoring patriarchal systems and gender expectations are.

"Women and feminism don't need to surrender. They were never the problem.” Thank you, @msmagazine.com , for publishing my latest essay. @nytimes.com

Ms. Magazine@msmagazine.com · 2mo ago

"Each article asks a version of the same question: How should women change? The questions that aren’t asked: Why aren’t men expected to change? Why do these unequal expectations persist? Why is the focus on women, rather than on the systems and behaviors that continue reinforcing inequality?"

The Tate brothers made fortunes through online pornography and by selling courses to young men. The pain and suffering of women became a business model. That's disturbing. We need more women in positions of power. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/u...

The Tate Brothers Are Losing Right-Wing Allies After Their Arrest

After Andrew and Tristan Tate, prominent leaders of the so-called manosphere, were arrested in Miami, many of their onetime allies on the American right pulled back support.

Powerful piece by @GretchenCarlson! #MeToo isn't dead, it's changed laws, empowered survivors, and made workplaces safer. And as the recent arrest of the Tate brothers reminds us, this fight isn't over. We've made progress, and we're not giving up anytime soon. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/o...

What kind of people are we becoming if we excuse intimidation, anonymity, and cruelty? Thank you to @msmagazine for publishing my latest article, "The Mask Is the Message."

Ms. Magazine@msmagazine.com · 3mo ago

"When someone covers their face while intimidating another person, threatening a community or committing a crime, the purpose isn’t protection—it’s concealment. It’s a way of saying, I want to do this, but I don’t want anyone to know it was me."

"You can defend free speech while condemning the hate speech of a white nationalist organization." Patriot Front marched through DC on July 4th. Masked, chanting, carrying Confederate flags. My new article in @msmagazine.com, “The Mask Is the Message." msmagazine.com/2026/07/07/p...

A good time to reshare my ChicagoTribune Oped. After being asked questions by Kristen Welker, President Trump responded, "You're either crooked or you're stupid." He has called women stupid, ugly, "piggy," and now crooked. We can’t normalize it. open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

I was honored to serve as the keynote speaker for the 2026 Smart Girls, Strong Women event for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington, IN last week. I’m proud to have played a small part in something so special and impactful. 💜 Grateful to have met so many strong, smart, and powerful women.✨

A global “rape academy” is teaching men how to drug and assault women—and it’s being met with silence. 62 million visits in ONE month. Where is the outrage? My latest in @Newsweek! ↓ www.newsweek.com/millions-of-...

We spend far more time teaching women and girls how not to be harmed than we do teaching men and boys not to harm.
