  We talk about the double standards that you might experience in the family, work and school. In this first part of the episode, we explore a number of topics including: the contrast between how boys and girls are raised, the glorification of men that fulfil their parental duty while reducing the woman to caretaker when she does the same, the treatment of women in employment or seeking employment as well as the sexist nature of ‘dress-codes’.
