The Chapters

With Andrew Tate recently being banned from social media, the girls discuss everyday sexism and how we can do better. This week, the girls advise a writer of a dilemma whose male friends see nothing wrong with Andrew Tate, and wants to help them to be better allies; as well as a dilemma about reading more widely where mythology and history are concerned. Book lovers and feminists, unite!
