#015 Celebrating International Women's Day

Today, 8th March 2019, we discuss the importance of IWD and this year's theme #balanceisbetter

We discuss the true meaning of feminism, what balance (and equality) looks like in the modern world and why we need to make space in both the workplace and the home for gender equality.

Do you feel, as a woman, you have to meet at least 90% of the job description before applying?

Do you think the #metoo movement was a tipping point in the next wave of feminism?

Is there a class issue when it comes to gender equality?

From the crisis around masculinity to challenging inappropriate behaviour, we discuss it all!
