    gendered terms, university seminars and toxic masculinity (8) | with Sophie Watts

    today i'm joined by my very long-time friend Sophie!! we talk all about 'gendered' words such as bossy or nagging, our experiences at university and seminars in regards to being able to talk and feeling dominated by men in an academic setting, and toxic masculinity, reminding you yet again that it's perfectly normal (and should be encouraged!) for men to have feelings and be emotional too (because when we talk about emotions, we tend to forget that anger is one) Eve Cornwell's Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In8cBXjytG4&t=805s Instagram: @theaveragefempod // email: theaveragefeministpodcast@gmail.com

    such a long episode! today Lottie and I talk about the sexism in Hollywood and with celebrities in general, from scrutinising their dating lives (especially Taylor Swift) to the absolutely inappropriate things they're often asked in interviews (insert nearly any female celebrity here. seriously, take your pic. it happens to them all). we (i) then went on a huuuge tangent and talked about some of the things i experienced as a waitress, including being told to smile more (never for you if you asked) and being cornered in a car park and forced to give someone my number (just... ew).  please subscribe if you like this podcast!! and follow the instagram @theaveragefempod for more (i often upload little updates, recommendations etc to my story!) and feel free to message us there or email theaveragefeministpodcast@gmail.com to let me know whether you prefer the audio here and/or whether you prefer the episodes longer or shorter! thank you always, peace out for this week.

    male feminists, our unconscious biases and our experience with sex education (2) | with Stanley Murphy-Johns

    today we talk about guys! because feminism shouldn't be just a women's issue, and if you don't feel comfortable calling yourself a feminist, you need to ask yourself why that is. we digressed so much that we covered more topics than i can remember, but stan talks about how he acts as an ally to women, we discuss the concept of being a 'female *insert profession*, why AOC is a legend, and our experience with the sex education we received in secondary school and the unrealistic expectations created by the porn industry. follow us on instagram @theaveragefempod!
