2 Intimidating Women

On today's episode, we get into some Real Talk with fellow podcaster, Vito, to discuss his journey through the world of feminism, impactful moments in his life that helped shape his perspective, and find out whether or not he'd be okay with being a stay-at-home-dad.

Vito offers a colorful, unfiltered outlook on what it means to be a feminist in today's world, how men often get it wrong, and where he sees the biggest opportunities for couples to embrace feminism in their relationships and family lives.

We sit down with Ryan, a New York City resident and member of the queer community, to discuss what it means to be intimidating, how feminists and LGBTQIA+ individuals can unite to enact change, and reflect on the joy and progress of Pride Month. Ryan offers a unique perspective on topics such as Drag Show etiquette, the privilege that white gay men have, feminist icons that shaped his view of the world, as well as a profound take on the COVID-19 pandemic and its parallels to other challenges that the queer community has faced. 

Happy Pride Month!

We reflect on our individual experiences that led us to identify with the feminist movement, as well as the social and political forces at play. What are some commons myths? What do feminists wish more people understood about them? Why did Hillary get labeled a 'Nasty Woman?' Learn more on this episode of 2 Intimidating Women.

What have you also wanted to do, but perhaps have been too afraid to take that leap of faith? 

Women, who once made up over 50% of the workforce, have been exiting the job market in record numbers thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic repercussions. Stemming from the feminization of poverty by low wage 'pink collar' occupations, women have historically been challenged to balance the increasing costs of childcare with their career aspirations. Further complicating things, the massive exodus from the workforce has impacted women of color even more severely. Sarah & Lacey reflect on this alarming trend, and discuss some of the key factors that can either help fix the problem, or continue to make it worse. How can we drive progress at a time when more women than ever are slipping out of the corporate landscape?
