Welcome to the very first episode of Revolting Women!

This episode we are discussing the five pillars of patriarchy which are; gender binary, heterosexism, misogyny, capitalism and white supremacy. All five of these concepts are extremely complex and multifaceted however, we do our best to explain them so they can lay the groundwork for future episodes to come.

Think of this as a deep dive into these concepts that will consistently be referred to throughout the pod.
