This discussion is inspired by We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and while the topics were inspired by the book you do not need to have read the book to follow along with the discussion! A few of the topics that come up in the episode are: Male and female dominated roles and careers, female tendencies to be "like-able," the role that gender plays in every day interactions and why it should matter less, victim blaming, and how to talk about feminism, sexism, and gender equality with people who don't get it.

"Feminism isn't about making women strong; women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength."

I wrote this post a few months ago - and I think it is what gave me the courage to start this platform.
