29. Jeopardy: All About Women!
Today we play Jeopardy that is ALL ABOUT WOMEN! Do you think you'll do well?
I wanted to do a game show episode with questions about women that men should know by now, and it's a very fun time. I left in big pauses to really show how long it takes for us to answer or not answer these questions! Hope you enjoy!

Catcalling - the act of shouting harassing and often sexually suggestive, threatening, or derisive comments at someone publicly
Sexual Harassment - behavior characterized by the making of unwelcome and inappropriate sexual remarks or physical advances in a workplace or other professional or social situation.
Today I speak to three of my female friends about being catcalled and/or sexually harassed. We discuss how close these two things are, they can be separated BUT catcalling leads to more more times than not. Great day for learning and talking to friends however they identify, let's talk!
Topics:

-Being Catcalled at 13
-“Are you afraid of having a daughter?”
-Catcalling from different races, by Car, Walking on the Street, Elevator

-“Everyone knows a woman who’s been raped, almost nobody knows a rapist”
-Survival Tactics
-If Men are walking behind you, and don’t want to scare her, what should we do?”

Customer Reviews
Awesome honesty
Love how in the episode they used what the guest did as a profession (script supervising) to get into the topic of toxic masculinity. Also loved the honesty of the host coming on at the end and making corrections!
Anyone who wants to learn more about how others deal with toxic masculinity, how pervasive it can be should give it a listen!
They will likely learn a little bit more about themselves as well.
❤️❤️
Love the idea behind this podcast and the conversations so far have been interesting as well as informative. Cannot wait to hear where this Podcast goes!
Great topic!
I love hearing these harmful issues being brought into a more public light. Toxic masculinity has been something that has affected all our young men and as they develop and then in turn affects women and non binary folks as we all navigate our way through this world. It’s great to hear some of these difficult issues getting demystified!
