Breaking Glass

Pussies, patriarchy, and access to sex education


Listen Later

When Zoe Mendelson first googled squirting, she had no idea the rabbit hole of sexual education she was about to go down. The internet was riddled with inconsistent information and even experts disagreed on some of the simpler questions she was curious about.

An information designer by training, Zoe became passionate about curating a comprehensive platform for accessible and inclusive sex education. She has since dedicated the better part of a decade to learning about, writing about, and talking about pussies. She joins Sabrina Merage Naim to talk about:

  • Why we need to take back a more gender and organ inclusive use of the word pussy
  • The role of the patriarchy in disinformation around people's pussies
  • Building Pussypedia - a free, bilingual encyclopedia of the pussy that aims to address the lack of quality, accessible information about our bodies on the internet.

We also discuss the launch of her new book, Pussypedia. Like what you hear and want more? Sign up for our newsletter full of episode updates and resources on issues impacting women around the world.
