    #4 Can A Street Be Sexist?

    Female bodies used to sell things. Statues celebrating men. Gendered street and shop names. These are the backdrops of our cities. But how much do we pay attention to them, and does it actually make an impact on gender roles? Can a street be sexist? Kenneth Thor and Dr Pamela Salen think so. Kenneth Thor was so frustrated by sexist advertising at his local shopping centre that he launched a viral petition to have it taken down. Dr Pamela Salen, a gender researcher, analysed an 'unsafe' part o...

    #5 Situational Awareness

    Hands up if you always hop in the backseat of the Uber. Or if you walk without headphones on the way home when it's dark. There's a name for this. It's 'situational awareness' and in this episode we're going to pull it apart - the companies making big dollars from our fear, the role guys can play to be situationally aware themselves and how to shift the conversation from how girls can keep themselves safe and instead move the responsibility to the dudes actually committing these acts of viole...

    #7 If A Girl's Groped And Nobody Sees It, Did It Really Happen?

    Fun fact: fifty six percent of men reportedly believe sexism is over. What a relief! Our work here is done. In all seriousness, street harassment is so prevalent in Australia that women just accept it as normal. That doesn't mean sexism is over. It means it's endemic. But we can end it. We travel to France and Uganda to investigate efforts to put a stop to everyday sexism. Together we can have a mighty good crack at ending it, once and for all. Are you with us? Tune in to find out how you ca...
