E31: the TRUTH about modern chivalry | is chivalry REALLY dead like they say it is? the rise of princess treatment, equity vs. equality--the KEY to modern chivalry

in this episode, lyla explores the sentiments surrounding modern chivalry and questions whether or not "chivalry is dead". she provides examples of chivalry in real life and the resurgence of "princess treatment" as is popularized on social media, but also considers that everyone has different experiences and prefers to keep an open mind. the emphasis is the importance of bringing nuance into discussions about gender roles, and to deviate from extremism on either ends of the spectrum.  *lyla's opinions might change at any point as she continues to evolve and grow as any normal person, so keep in mind all thoughts in this video are ONLY a reflection of the time it was recorded.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
