Has Feminism Worked or Has it Gone Insane?
This week on the show Dawn and Tracy are getting stuck into Feminism. The ladies try to define it and also look at how that definition has changed, and perhaps not for the better, over the years. Looking back at the suffragette movement to feminism of modern day, Dawn and Tracy discuss the possibility that the idea of feminism might have got lost along the way.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Dawn and Tracy discuss the differences between feminism and equal rights and how equality and diversity might have gone a little too far.
- Tracy muses on the idea that men are being ‘positively discriminated’ against because feminism has evolved into something it was never intended to be.
- Dawn talks about the roles of masculinity and femininity in relationships and how both should be embraced but not at the cost of each other.
- Tracy discusses the idea that feminism has become political and instead of being about discrimination it has morphed into a warped view of equality.
BEST MOMENTS
“Do I think that men and women are the same? No. But are we entitled to equal rights? Yes.”
“Feminism is just one arm of equal rights.”
“Not all people that empower women are feminists.”
“If we get rid of discrimination don’t we have equality by default?”

ABOUT THE HOSTS
Dawn and Tracy are real women who are fed up with all the “noise” out there in the real world. Life isn’t simply rainbows and unicorns, it's broken relationships, hard work, hot sweats and never ending laundry baskets. But life as a real woman is also about being honest, having good gossip and speaking our truths. Whether it’s peeling yourself into your spandex for a night out, or running a business meeting barefoot because the heel has fallen off your stilettos, there is always something to laugh about in life.
Dawn is mid 50’s mid menopause straight talking business maverick. Four kids, three grandchildren, two businesses, one husband and a self proclaimed “hottie”.
Tracy is a mid 50’s awesome mum, business and property mentor. Proud of her raw, honest nature, “bonkers” sense of humour and good old-fashioned northern humility.
PODCAST DESCRIPTION
The business of being a real woman juggling life, love and work for many of us is pure sweat, grit & hustle. This podcast is for those of you who are tired of the “noise” and just want real down-to-earth gossip with no filters or fluff. Dawn and Tracy bring heartfelt humour, raw honesty, spandex, stilettos, and intelligent conversion on being a real woman in today's world.
