This Is Awkward

Addressing Gender Inequality


Listen Later

In this episode, Lyanne and Kristy talk with gender equality activist and author, Gina Martin. Gina's new book 'No Offence, But...' tackles some of the commonly used phrases that shut down proper debate and critical thinking when it comes to gender 'norms' and provides readers with the tools to gently challenge old tropes. This episode is all killer, no filler as Gina covers a wide range of issues and problematic language, as well as where she feels she has failed in the past and her current inspiration. If you have ever felt cowed into silence at a dinner table, or in a boardroom, when subjected to sexist remarks - give this one a listen. Likewise, if your'e an ally and/or you are interested in equality and intersectional feminism - put your feet up and get your lugholes around this.. Enjoy.
