Tiny Homes, Housework and the Manosphere

In this episode, we unpack: * Tiny Homes for Women: A groundbreaking Australian initiative is helping women experiencing homelessness become tiny home owners through an affordable ownership model. We discuss why older women are one of the fastest-growing groups facing housing insecurity and whether tiny homes could offer a long-term solution. * Women Who Earn More Still Do More Housework: New research reveals that women who out-earn their partners often continue to do a greater share of unpaid housework. We unpack the gender norms, relationship dynamics and economic factors driving this persistent domestic labour gap. * The Business of the Manosphere: The manosphere has grown into a highly profitable online ecosystem built around masculinity, self-improvement and influencer culture.

Naomi Campbell Charity Headache, Women's Budget Battle & the Economic Power of Nuns

In this episode, we unpack: * Women’s Budget Statement Under Fire: A heated debate has erupted over Australia’s Women’s Budget Statement after critics labelled it "ideological nonsense." We examine what gender-responsive budgeting actually is, why supporters argue it remains necessary, and whether economic policy can ever be truly gender-neutral. We also explore the broader conversation around inequality, unpaid care work, women’s health and domestic violence. * The Economic Power of Nuns in Feminist History: What do medieval convents and modern corporate boardrooms have in common? More than you might think. We explore new research revealing how convents helped drive Vienna's economy centuries before modern banks existed, lending money, managing assets and playing a significant financial role in their communities. Then we fast-forward to today, where a group of Benedictine nuns in Kansas have filed more than 350 shareholder resolutions over the past two decades, using their investments to push major corporations on issues ranging from climate change and worker rights to corporate governance. Together, these stories challenge long-held assumptions about women, religion and economic influence across the centuries. * Naomi Campbell Appeals Charity Trustee Ban: Supermodel Naomi Campbell is fighting a five-year ban from serving as a charity trustee after regulators found serious governance failures at her charity, Fashion for Relief. Campbell argues she was deceived by a fellow trustee, while regulators maintain she failed in her oversight responsibilities. We break down the case, the allegations and what it means for charity governance and celebrity-led philanthropy. Read full show notes on FeministMoney.com.au.
