NEW FLASH women are more than just sex objects; male gaze Vs female gaze

Hello everyone! After a long break we are so glad to be back! Both El and I have missed the podcast so much, but we are back on track with some sweet, sweet feminist rants for you. In this weeks episode we break down the male gaze and how it affects us all. From female sexualisation in movies to how Edward Cullen is the personification of the male gaze. We suggest ways of battling Mr Cullen and consider some pretty interesting questions surrounding femininity and androgyny. Stay tuned and we really hope you enjoy! Love, El and Bella

The Big Three: Race, Colourism and Intersectionality

TW: In this episode, we discuss issues of racism and colourism. Hey everyone! We are back after a very long hiatus but this one is #worththewait.  Our amazing friend Jess joined us to discuss issues of race and colourism and how the feminist movement has to support the BAME community. Packed with rants about how much we love women and the importance of embracing our individuality; we unpack the devastating effects of colourism and whitewashing in our society. Hope you enjoy!

It's what everyone is talking about: sexual assault, rape culture and street harassment.

TW: This weeks episode makes references to themes of sexual assault, rape and abuse.  Hello everyone! Due to the recent and much needed open dialogue about sexual assault that has surfaced all over social media, El and I have decided that it would be important to contribute to the discussion, with some of our experiences and perspectives. We discuss everything from locker-room talk and street harassment, to how damaging rape jokes are. Please remember to be respectful of other people, and their stories and boundries. We hope you enjoy and have a good weekend!

POV: your school actually taught you about sex; it's the sexist biology for me

TW: References to things of a sexual and violent nature, including rape and porn. Hello everyone! In this weeks episode El and I dive deep into the infamous world of sex. We discuss things from awkward Sex-Ed to how porn skews everyone's perception of sex. We put emphasis on the importance of getting to know your body; since your clit was medically ignored until 1994. Join us as we deconstruct the patriarchy's affect on female sexuality, with some memorable stories along the way!
