Jenni & Lisa are sisters with over 2 decades spent working in the male-dominated industries of Construction, Tech and Finance. They delve into the pitfalls and the gas-lighting people who identify as women experience in the patriarchal construct of traditional corporate environments, sharing their personal experiences along with statistics relating to how misogyny, racism, queer-phobia, fatphobia, ableism and other forms of discrimination present in the workplace. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re not getting ahead at work (or getting as far as you want), they'll explore why (spoiler alert: it’s not your fault) and what you can do about it.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to episode 10(ish) of series 3 where Lisa does a mini-breakdown of Imposter Syndrome and why its use as a catch-all term is  problematic. Lisa discusses a tweet posted by @theconsciouslee from Juana Hollingsworth (@jewelsfromjuana) about how Dr. Amanda Tachine (@atachine) explained that the original concept of Imposter Syndrome was theorised in 1978 by two White women (psychologists Pauline Rose Clance &amp; Suzanne Imes) to describe how a large majority of women, disproportionately Black women and women of Colour, are marginalised within the corporate environment. While the tenets of Imposter Syndrome may ring true for many women, for Black women and women of Colour, this term erases or, at the very least, minimises the impact of systemic racism and the many obstacles it presents them with in the workplace. It makes systemic issues the fault of each individual woman, forcing her to endure and try to resolve them each and every day that she shows up to work. The hope is that the information discussed today will help to inform how we look at the experiences of Black women and women of Colour in the corporate world and how the White-centric focus of academia, which influences the terminology we use in the workplace and wider world, can further marginalise those who exist outside of that focus.<br/><br/>- The February 2021 Harvard Business Review article entitled<a href='https://hbr.org/2021/02/stop-telling-women-they-have-imposter-syndrome'> &quot;Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome&quot;</a> by Ruchika Tulshyan and Jodi-Ann Burey informed this episode - please read it! </p><p>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from a Feminist author.</p><p>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a>.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to episode 9 of series 3, where we’re closing out our &quot;Get a Job Your Way&quot; series. We open the discussion by breaking down the perception that setting out your requirements and coming from an empowered place where you know what you deserve, and won’t accept less, can be perceived as privilege. We move into the final stages of hiring, closing out negotiations, running through work contracts and how to spot (and respond to) red flags. We hope this series has given you the tools you need to get the job you want, for the pay you deserve. If you take one thing away from this series, let it be this: You&apos;re worthy of great things, never let the corporate world tell you otherwise.<br/><br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from a Feminist author.</p><p>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a>.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to episode 4 of series 3 - we kick off with discussing how women get penalized for their own sexuality because, within a patriarchal construct, they’re not “allowed” to be in control of their bodies and own their own sexual power. We talk about the shame and responsibility that is placed on women’s bodies from a very young age in order to control the emotions and sexual urges of boys and men, instead of putting that responsibility where it belongs (on boys and men). We then move on to the restrictions of the gender binary: How it defines what it is to be a man OR a woman (nothing in between) and how patriarchal systems of control encourage girls and women to view each other as competition, not allies, under the false guise of there being a limited amount of seats at the table for women. We share personal anecdotes about how mothers who also choose to work outside the home are held back within the corporate world because they “chose” to take time off for a family, aka the motherhood penalty. We close the episode with a deep dive on the male gaze and its influence on women’s mindsets and how they view themselves and the wider world.<br/><br/>- The article we reference recording the Wodaabe men and their dance. <a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-39070587.amp'>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-39070587.amp</a><br/><br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from a Feminist author.<br/><br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to episode 3 of series 3 where we’re discussing the policing of women’s bodies, in particular the bodies of Black women and women of Colour.</p><p>We start by discussing the treatment of Mary J. Blige in the aftermath of the Super Bowl half time show and define some important terms that relate to the hyper-sexualised scrutiny that disproportionately impacts Black women/girls and women/girls of Colour. These are the Politics of Respectability (first defined by professor and author Evelyn Higginbotham), Adultification Bias and Misogynoir, the intersection of misogyny and racism. <br/><br/>We go on to talk about how, in the workplace (and the wider world), your worth is tied to attractiveness and how women can effectively do everything right and still have a target on their back.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to our Holiday Burn Out episode (version 2.0): We’ve re-purposed episode 10 because the issues we’re discussing are just as relevant today as they were a year ago. COVID-related stresses and strains, the emotional and mental load heaped onto those who disproportionately take on domestic tasks &amp; unpaid care work (typically women &amp; mothers) during the holiday season and the inevitable body image issues so many of us battle. We hope our suggestions for bringing balance back to the forefront help you focus on what’s important and leave the superficial things that drain and derail you behind. Good luck and we look forward to bringing you series 3 (have you subscribed yet?)…<br/><br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from a Feminist author.<br/><br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use (though not on this episode) <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to our penultimate episode of Series 2,  Episode 19, where we dive into the subject of asking for a raise. This is a topic which is emotionally loaded for many people, particularly women, who tend to be raised to not ask for more and/or be happy with what they&apos;ve been given. Asking for a raise can bring up oppressive conditioning, imposter syndrome and feelings of being &quot;less than&quot; when it should be an encouraged part of a working environment. We talk through how to ask for what you need, red flags and common gaslighting tactics to look out for as well as our personal experiences with pay and performances reviews. We hope this conversation helps give you a clear headspace about how to go about getting what you deserve in the corporate environment.<br/><br/>- The June 2018 Harvard Business Review article entitled &quot;Research: Women Ask for Raises as Often as Men, but Are Less Likely to Get Them&quot; provided the discussed statistics on the success rate of  women vs. men asking for raises.<br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an Feminist author.<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use (though not on this episode) <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 18 of Series 2, where we finish our dive into toxic masculinity on a high by having our very first interview with the awesome Alex Shafiro. We talk about his experiences in the corporate world, specifically how his work as a designer in the construction industry has put him in front of very toxic behaviours. We asked how he makes space for women in his workplace, what he feels like toxic male behaviour in the workplace looks like and how he it makes him feel when he runs up against it. Alex gives us his views on, and understanding of, toxic masculinity and we were so grateful to him for his candor, his sense of humor and his patience. We hope you love listening to this conversation as much as we loved having it. <br/><br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an Feminist author.<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use (though not on this episode) <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Episode 17 of Series 2 where we dive into toxic masculinity: What does it mean? What are its ties with toxic femininity and is that even a thing? The short answer is no, it&apos;s not, it&apos;s a &quot;men&apos;s rights&quot; dog whistle but we digress. We talk about how kind, caring, nurturing little boys grow into unemotional but overly aggressive men and what the signs/markers are for toxic masculinity. We dive into how toxic masculinity affects the corporate workplace and who stands to benefit from this seriously detrimental mindset.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Episode 16 of Series 2 where we&apos;re discussing the reasons behind why huge numbers of people are choosing to leave the workforce. We discuss our personal experience of stepping away from unhealthy work environments and feeling set free because we recognise that we want, and deserve, better for ourselves and our families. We dive into the prevalent issue of people not being paid a living wage, much less a thriving wage, and how that and the impact of COVID-19 on an already faulty infrastructure supporting working parents has resulted in reduced childcare places and higher costs of living all around. We dive into how coming from an empowered place of &quot;I don’t need this job to make my life work&quot; sets you up for a workplace that enhances and supports your work-life balance because you&apos;ve been made the priority. Don&apos;t let the fear of not being enough set you up to fail in the corporate world - you deserve better!</p><p>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an Feminist author.<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use (though not on this episode) <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><br/><br/></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 15 of Series 2 where we dive into what it means to be a woman. We talk about why the patriarchal ideas of femininity are both inaccurate and exclusionary, how gender non-conformity is both normal and ancient across global communities and discuss the fundamental misogyny of Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminism/Feminists (TERFs). We break down the danger posed to the transgender community by &quot;biology&quot; based anti-trans rhetoric and speak about why thinking of gender on scales instead of a spectrum is more accurate for some. We close out the episode with our core principles: If you identify as a woman, you are one; we will endeavour in every way to create as inclusive a space as possible; we will get things wrong sometimes and though you don&apos;t owe us an education, we hugely appreciate when you share your lived experience with us so we can learn from you. <br/><br/>- Find PBS&apos; map of Gender Diverse Cultures <a href='https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/content/two-spirits_map-html/'>here</a>.<br/>- <a href='https://www.teenvogue.com/story/9-things-people-get-wrong-about-being-non-binary'>Suzannah Weiss&apos; February 2018 article for Teen Vogue entitled &quot;9 Things People Get Wrong About Being Non-Binary&quot;</a> has been a valuable educational resource for us, we hope you&apos;ll read and share it.<br/>-<a href='https://www.itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/2019/02/gender-scales-or-spectrums/'> Sam Killerman&apos;s piece entitled &quot;Why Think of Gender on Scales Instead of a Spectrum?&quot;</a> has helped us conceptualise gender differently and, we hope, more accurately.<br/>- We used <a href='https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/9/5/20840101/terfs-radical-feminists-gender-critical'>Katelyn Burn&apos;s September 2019 article for Vox entitled &quot;TERFs: The Rise of Anti-Trans “Radical” Feminists, Explained&quot;</a> during our discussion about Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists/Feminism, the story of Aimee Stephens&apos; and Ann Hopkins&apos; ground-breaking Supreme Court cases.<br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an Feminist author.<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use (though not on this episode) <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 14 of Series 2 where we&apos;re discussing how to leave a toxic culture or environment. Jenni discusses a recent trip back to where she and Lisa grew up and how, for some people, going back to where you came from can be really difficult. We talk about  &quot;tortilla gate&quot; and other racist incidents connected to our hometown and how dangerous and insidious intolerance is in a closed environment. We discuss how educational travel has been for us and how looping ourselves in to anti-racism and anti-bias culture changers has helped us fundamentally evolve. We go into the difficulty of separating yourself from biased environments, whether they pertain to family, friends or work, and how an overnight change isn&apos;t always possible. We close out with a discussion about listening to and nourishing the little voice that leads you and how building a loving, tolerant community can sometimes mean a lack of &quot;hometown&quot; support. <br/><br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an Feminist author.<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use (though not on this episode) <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Episode 13 of Series 2 where we&apos;re discussing fatphobia in the workplace. We talk about the lack of government protection against weight-based discrimination, dive into statistics of how people with larger bodies are viewed and treated in the corporate world and how sexism and racism intersect with this. We discuss the taking back of the word &quot;fat&quot; as a neutral descriptive term and how weight-based discrimination often slips under the radar in a patriarchal society where women are pressured to be as skinny as possible. We close out the episode discussing the impact fatphobia has on people&apos;s experiences with the medical community and share the words of Naomi Wolf who says that neither capitalism nor the patriarchy benefit from women who reject the impossible beauty standards of today’s society.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 12 of Series 2 where we&apos;re discussing what working women and working mothers need from their partners in order to survive &amp; succeed. We work through 8 key points, starting with acknowledging that all mothers work (whether or not they get paid for it..!) and finishing with the need to show up every day for that partnership. We talk about how hard it is, particularly for women, to ask for what they need in a relationship with society&apos;s  heteropatriarchal expectations resting heavily on them and making them question if they&apos;re being selfish. We close the episode discussing how we are currently working to bring equality into our partnerships so that our mental load as working mothers is diminished.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 11 of Series 2, we start with a brief discussion of important statistics for Black women, women of Colour and women from LGBTQIA+ communities. Due to a technical error, they were not included in last week’s episode, Shecession. Next, we define what gender contamination is, what it means as a marketing term and how it draws from a hetero-patriarchal socio-political system.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 11 of Series 2, we start with a brief discussion of important statistics for Black women, women of Colour and women from LGBTQIA+ communities. Due to a technical error, they were not included in last week’s episode, Shecession. Next, we define what gender contamination is, what it means as a marketing term and how it draws from a hetero-patriarchal socio-political system. We dive into specific brand examples of gender contamination (prepare to be angered!) and why its deep foundation in the patriarchy makes it such a powerful tool. <br/><br/>We talk about how this results in the harsh treatment of teenage girls vs. teenage boys and how we as a society view women’s “things” in general. We discuss how this phenomenon translates to the workplace and how many women who do manage to succeed in the corporate environment have had to take on “male” performance characteristics.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 10 of Series 2 where we&apos;re focusing on the so-called &quot;Shecession&quot;, which is the massive loss of women from the workforce post-pandemic. American media are doubling-down on the story that people in America don&apos;t want to go back to their low paying jobs  after having it “so good” on unemployment when really, the missing infrastructure of childcare and other much needed supports for working women is a huge reason behind people, disproportionately women, having to leave the workforce and not return. We discuss the cycle of debt and poverty and how having &quot;rainy day savings” is a privilege for many. We go through important statistics from the recent Deloitte &quot;Women @ Work&quot; report which detail women carrying the bulk of household tasks while still working, how many are losing faith in their career prospects and explore some of the reasons why more than half of the women polled are looking to leave their jobs in the next 2 years. We explore the pervasiveness of harassment, microaggressions and non-inclusive behaviour and how many examples of these behaviours are so innocuous, most women won&apos;t report them for fear of sounding melodramatic or experiencing career penalties. We question if what we’re seeing is a rise of the patriarchy and we close out the episode talking over why the idea that women and men were nearly equal before the pandemic is a lie.<br/><br/>- <a href='https://www2.deloitte.com/global/en/pages/about-deloitte/articles/women-at-work-global-outlook.html'>Deloitte Global &quot;Women @ Work&quot; Report</a>, READ IT!<br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an Feminist author.<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use (though not on this episode) <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a>.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 9 of Series 2 where we&apos;re diving into our own personal experiences working in an abusive/toxic environment. Lisa discusses how her own poor boundary setting lead to an exploitation of that weakness which, over time, negatively impacted her mental health to the point of constantly feeling trapped, crying at inopportune moments (like Zoom calls!) and leading her to complete lose her sense of joy. We highlight two important choices working women/mothers have to make: Choosing not to die on the altar of unending work (i.e. the 24 hour/7 day work week) and choosing to recognise your own merit so that you’re never begging someone else to see it as well. Jenni speaks about what it looks like to watch someone struggle through this from the outside and how when you’re in the thick of a toxic situation, you can’t see the wood for the trees. We close with a discussion on  how the antiquated idea of 9-5 working alienates women with unpaid care responsibilities from the workforce and how partnerships where both people are choosing (or stuck in) unsustainable working patterns can really suffer. <br/><br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an Feminist author.<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use (though not on this episode) <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a>.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 8 of Series 2, the subject of which we think will resonate with many of you: Having a Hard Time. We start off by discussing the impending  lunar eclipse (Super Blood Flower Moon) and how it can represent and/or bring about closure and evolution. We discuss abusive work relationships and how hard it can be to drop what doesn&apos;t serve you as well as divest yourself of the old trope that &quot;this is just the way things are&quot;. Lisa goes on a bit of a dark one from the 6 minute mark and questions what the point is of even trying to make it work as a woman in a male dominated industry. Jenni then discusses how her recent abdominal surgery brought to light how little care and attention women receive post-childbirth and how the promises of the diet industry do a number on recovering moms. All in all, this episode is about finding ways to get through the maelstrom and firmly close that door behind you in order to welcome in the new. It&apos;s scary but we think it&apos;s worth it - we hope you do too.<br/><br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an Feminist author.<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use (though not on this episode) <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a>.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 7 of Series 2 where we&apos;re discussing how to take back your power. While this is not an issue solely limited to women, the constant struggle to earn, hold and maintain our own power is unique to women both in the workplace and the wider world. We discuss how childhood trauma and ancestral/generational trauma combine with toxic stress to render many women more susceptible to feeling incapable of wielding their own power or speaking out in defence of it. We discuss our personal experiences of attempting to hold onto or maintain our own power in male-dominated environments and what things (and people) you should avoid in order to preserve your energy.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 7 of Series 2 where we&apos;re discussing how to take back your power. While this is not an issue solely limited to women, the constant struggle to earn, hold and maintain our own power is unique to women both in the workplace and the wider world. We discuss how childhood trauma and ancestral/generational trauma combine with toxic stress to render many women more susceptible to feeling incapable of wielding their own power or speaking out in defence of it. We discuss our personal experiences of attempting to hold onto or maintain our own power in male-dominated environments and what things (and people) you should avoid in order to preserve your energy. We hope this episode helps those who are feeling forgotten, disrespected or trivialised within their workplace - you deserve better!<br/><br/>- <a href='https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-observe-epigenetic-memories-passed-down-for-14-generations-most-animalhttps://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-observe-epigenetic-memories-passed-down-for-14-generations-most-animal'>Signe Dean&apos;s April 2018 article for Science Alert entitled &quot;Scientists Have Observed Epigenetic Memories Being Passed Down For 14 Generations&quot;</a> was used while discussing ancestral trauma. <br/>- <a href='https://health.ucdavis.edu/crhd/pdfs/resources/roadmap-for-resilience-ca-surgeon-generals-report-on-aces-toxic-stress-and-health-12092020.pdf'>December 2020 California Surgeon General&apos;s report entitled &quot; Roadmap for Resilience&quot; </a>was used while discussing the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACE&apos;s) and toxic stress.<br/>- <a href='https://www.huffpost.com/entry/women-only-7-steps-to-reclaim-your-power_b_5a1afb85e4b0250a107c0046'>Alexandra Harra&apos;s December 2017 article for Huffpost entitled &quot;Women Only: 7 Steps to Reclaim Your Power&quot; </a>was used while discussing ways to reclaim your power.<br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an Feminist author.<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use (though not on this episode) <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a>.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 4 of Series 2 where we start by talking about global racial injustice, specifically what’s happening in the U.S.A. &amp; the U.K. We talk about the unending police shootings in North America, the Sewell Report in the UK, racist Dr. Seuss books and how disappointing it is to see so many social media accounts ignore the inhumanity of what is taking place prolifically around the world. We discuss why no one doing anti-racist work should expect a pat on the back for it and then break down a list of common phrases used in the office (and the wider world) that are racist. We also talk about the healing power of being uncomfortable, apologising and learning to do better. <br/><br/>- <a href='https://www.businessinsider.com/microaggression-unconscious-bias-at-work-2018-6?r=US&amp;IR=T'>Marguerite Ward &amp; Rachel Premack&apos;s March 2021 article for Business Insider entitled &quot;What is a microaggression? 14 things people think are fine to say at work — but are actually racist, sexist, or offensive&quot; </a>which was the basis for our discussion about racist, offensive phrases not to use in the office.<br/>- We love the <a href='https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/things-white-people-say-highlight-privilege_l_5edeafafc5b637b87e22cee0'>June 2020 Huffpost article by Kelsey Borreson entitled &quot;6 Things White People Say That Highlight Their Privilege&quot;</a> as it quotes Myisha Hill (who we love along with her wonderful work on Check Your Privilege) and breaks down a lot of pervasive tropes about racism commonly used by White people.<br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an incredible female author!<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a>.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 2 of Series 2 where we dive into a topic we&apos;re deeply passionate about: Gaslighting. We discuss how we&apos;ve encountered this in a multitude of ways in both our personal and professional lives as well as how women with prior experiences of sexual or physical violence may be more susceptible to gaslighting. We touch on the many ways women might experience gaslighting in the corporate environment, how our experience with it spurred us into writing our book and starting this podcast (!) and how to deal with gaslighting when it happens. We know this is something many women encounter all too often so we hope you&apos;ll finish this episode feeling supported and ready to challenge gaslighting when it next rears it ugly head.<br/><br/>- <a href='https://www.who.int/news/item/09-03-2021-devastatingly-pervasive-1-in-3-women-globally-experience-violence'>World Health Organisation report released March 2021 entitled &quot;Devastatingly pervasive: 1 in 3 women globally experience violence&quot;</a> confirming that 1 in 3 women globally experience sexual or physical violence in their lifetime<br/> - <a href='https://www.bustle.com/p/7-subtle-ways-women-are-gaslighted-on-a-daily-basis-10079020'>Suzannah Weiss&apos; August 2018 article for Bustle entitled &quot;7 Subtle Ways Women Experience Gaslighting On A Daily Basis&quot;</a> which breaks down gaslighting most women encounter on a daily basis<br/>- <a href='https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/communication-success/202007/7-signs-gaslighting-the-workplace?amp'>Psychology Today July 2020 article entitled &quot;7 Signs of Gaslighting at the Workplace&quot; </a>which breaks down the gaslighting that many people experience in the workplace<br/>- <a href='https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/gaslighting-at-work-examples-and-what-to-do-about-it'>Dr. Stephanie Sarkis&apos; April 2020 article for Mind Body Green entitled &quot;How To Know If You&apos;re Dealing With Gaslighting At Work&quot;</a> which further breaks down gaslighting in the workplace as well as strategies for dealing with it<br/>- <a href='https://www.eeoc.gov/'>U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission</a> enforces federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee <br/>- <a href='https://www.acas.org.uk/'>UK Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) </a>which provides free, impartial advice on workplace rights, rules and best practice <br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an incredible female author!<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Series 2 of the podcast! We jump right into the deep end with our discussion about how current events (femicide, mass shootings) are all directly tied to anger, specifically male anger. We dive into how toxic masculinity and White privilege feeds our global problem with male anger before applying it directly to a corporate setting where the protective stereotype of the &quot;hard to work with, but good at his job&quot; businessman is rarely, if ever, allowed to apply to women. We touch on our personal experiences with this and how past experiences of physical and/or sexual violence can make male aggression in the workplace very triggering. <br/><br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an incredible female author!<br/>- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 19, one for the working mamas out there! We recorded this episode on the 21st of February, the anniversary of Malcolm X&apos;s assassination and John Lewis&apos; birthday, so we start the conversation talking about their impact, as well as Gloria Richardson&apos;s, on our lives. We move on to our central discussion of how mothers, whether or not they are engaging in paid work as well as looking after their children, are being chastised for their coping strategies and organisational skills as they struggle to keep themselves and their families afloat. We discuss what we feel are the structural inequalities that leave mothers in this position even after all of the advancements that women have worked so hard to achieve over the past decades/centuries. We dive into the societal gender bias around nurturing roles, the importance of understanding and giving space to &quot;matrescence&quot;,  and how the pressure on mothers  is only becoming more intense.<br/> <br/> - Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an incredible female author<br/> - Find out more about the amazing designers, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here<br/></a><br/><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

We dive into some triggering topics in this week&apos;s episode, including society&apos;s sexualisation of young girls, sexual abuse and assault and the insidious impact of rape culture. We talk about how the fetishisation of young girl&apos;s bodies translates into the way in which women are policed within the corporate world, including the brutalising impact of respectability politics. We discuss how &quot;dressing for the job you want&quot; was never really meant for women and how the expectations placed on girls and women in the world as well as the workplace are not only conflicting but deeply damaging.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 17 which is a purely anecdotal session, no research or statistics on this one, just an intimate discussion about mental health, religion and the ways in which self doubt insidiously finds its way through any amount of armour. Jenni &amp; Lisa discuss how a recent interaction in the process of submitting their book proposal brought out deep-seated insecurities, anxieties and doubt about their own abilities. They discuss how they&apos;ve overcome those feelings and also discuss how the changes that COVID-19 has wrought on the corporate environment has done nothing to uproot and eliminate the existing systemic inequalities which are deeply entrenched in the workplace. <br/><br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an incredible female author<br/>- Find out more about the amazing designers, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 16 where we briefly touch on trolling &amp; cancel culture before jumping into our main subject of why being a &quot;good girl&quot; gets you nowhere. Jenni shares a recent experience where she was forced to evaluate how the rules she was taught as a girl were  vastly different to what boys are taught (she also explains what a &quot;risk bucket&quot; is). We discuss what would happen if women stopped adhering to the social rules of being beautiful, smiling, quiet, perfect women who dumb themselves down and give their power to men. We also discuss how the oppressive culture that has evolved within Conservative White Christianity continues to have a negative impact on the enfranchisement of women. Ultimately, the conversation is about whether women should be playing by the rules and being the &quot;good girl&quot; society expects us to be, if the rules are only in place to keep us subjugated. <br/><br/>- <a href='https://www.bustle.com/articles/178718-6-ways-women-are-taught-to-please-other-people-why-they-dont-have-to'>Suzannah Weiss&apos; August 2016 article for Bustle entitled &quot;Women&apos;s Value Doesn&apos;t Just Lie In Pleasing Others&quot;</a> for the foundation on how society deems women a &quot;good girl&quot; or not.<br/>- <a href='https://metro.co.uk/2019/05/25/someone-found-a-30-ways-to-keep-your-husband-rule-book-and-women-are-shocked-9690146/'>Hattie Gladwell&apos;s May 2019 article for Metro entitled &quot;Someone Found a ’30 Ways To Keep Your Husband’ Rule Book and Women are Shocked&quot;</a> for the Conservative Christian marriage advice.<br/>- <a href='https://www.inc.com/amy-morin/a-40-year-study-found-that-rich-people-exhibited-this-undesirable-trait-as-kids.html?cid=search'>Amy Morin&apos;s February 2018 article for INC. entitled &quot;A 40-Year-Study Found That Kids Who Do This Are More Likely to Earn the Most Money When They Grow Up&quot;</a> for information about how children that don&apos;t follow the rules turn out as adults.<br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an incredible female author<br/>- Find out more about the amazing designers, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 15 where we discuss a tweet that was sent to us detailing how women represented the total US job losses in December 2020. The article and statistics behind this tweet as well as the global statistics we found outlining that women are (once again) the biggest losers in the job market due to fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors, shook us to the core. We discuss what it means to be a woman in a workforce that tends to view your employment as a luxury and why women are overwhelmingly the last to be hired and first to be fired. We definitely don&apos;t have any answers for a problem of this magnitude but we know that starting this conversation is the most important thing that we can do.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 14 where we discuss the burnout of nearly a year living in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic combined with the political and social upheaval that is taking place around the world. We begin with a conversation about the trope of the angry feminist and how it has personally affected us before moving on to a conversation about the multiple levels of stress and pressure weighing down on us all at the moment, including how it affects our physical and mental health. While we don&apos;t have a single &quot;silver bullet&quot; cure, we talk about some of the methods we use to address and reduce our stress levels while still remaining as present as possible. We have provided 3 separate sources for mental health support (UK specific, US specific and a globally minded support page with links) and we send you love &amp; light. <br/><br/>- <a href='https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/05/opinion/coronavirus-mental-illness-depression.html'>Jennifer Senior&apos;s August 2020 article for the New York Times entitled &quot;We’ve Hit a Pandemic Wall&quot;</a> for US-specific coronavirus statistics &amp; Daphne de Marneffe quote<br/>- <a href='https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhis/earlyrelease/ERmentalhealth-508.pdf'>US-specific coronavirus mental health statistics for 2020 released by the CDC</a><br/>- <a href='https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2020/10/stress-mental-health-crisis#:~:text=Stress%20in%20AmericaTM%202020,faces%20is%20overwhelming%20to%20them.'>The American Psychological Association&apos;s October 2020 &quot;Stress in America&quot; study</a> <br/>- <a href='https://abcnews.go.com/Health/psychological-impact-attempted-capitol-takeover/story?id=75124017'>ABC News January 2021 article entitled &quot;The Mental Toll of the Capitol Siege on the American Psyche&quot;</a><br/>- <a href='https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/seeking-help-for-a-mental-health-problem/where-to-start/'>UK specific mental health support page </a><br/>- <a href='https://www.mhanational.org/get-involved/contact-us'>US specific mental health support page </a><br/>- <a href='https://unitedgmh.org/mental-health-support'>Global mental health support page</a><br/>- Please check out our &quot;Feminism 101&quot; suggested reading list <a href='https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/Dearpatriarchy'>here</a> if you&apos;re at a loose end for a great read from an incredible female author<br/>- Find out more about the amazing designers, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use <a href='https://nubefy.shop/'>here</a><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 12, our first discussion on systemic racism and how it impacts the working women, specifically those from BIPOC/BAMER communities.

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Episode 10 where we discuss the burn out many women feel around the festive season, especially with the added stressor of navigating the holidays during a global pandemic. We talk about emotional labour/labor, mental load and how our culture of “more is better” is grinding us all down. We delve into the stress and pressure women feel to make things “magical” while grieving our loss of “normality” due to COVID-19 and how it can trigger unhealthy coping strategies. We wrap up with 5 ways (Lisa’s fave) to deal with what the holidays bring up for you and how to bring what really matters back into focus.<br/><br/>- <a href='https://www.stylist.co.uk/health/festive-christmas-burnout/329070'>Christobel Hastings&apos; December 2019 article for Stylist entitled &quot;Christmas Burnout: Here’s How to Tackle Festive Anxiety if You’re Feeling Overwhelmed&quot;</a> for holiday burnout statistics and how to deal with it<br/>-<a href='https://www.progressivewomensleadership.com/feel-the-burnout-your-team-may-need-a-holiday-break/'> Lynn Varacalli Cavanaugh&apos;s December 2018 article for Progressive Women&apos;s Network entitled &quot;Feel the Burnout?

			<description><![CDATA[<b>TW: Contains discussions of miscarriage, stillbirth, foetal/fetal demise and abortion from 40:00 - 43:30</b><br/>Welcome to Episode 4 where we open up the densely packed topic of what the Patriarchy is and how it impacts us all on a daily basis. We discuss how it is believed the Patriarchy came into being, how it now translates into the world around you and who it impacts (spoiler alert: everyone).
