About this listen

Welcome to the one where we talk about the debatable reasons it's better to be a woman--but it would be kind of nice to be a man and benefit from the patriarchy, the etiquette of break ups (spoiler, do NOT ghost someone after a date!), and laundry. It's never just laundry, friends. Now, did the writers of this episode mean for it to be this deep? No. But put on your scuba gear and get ready to deep dive.


Don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode, because apparently I can't be trusted to publish on a consistent day! In my defense, it was spring break and the mountains were calling. I'll try to do better next week... but no promises.


For the Nerds

Some of my thoughts on benefits of being a man or woman were pulled from the books:


Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez


Pink Collar Workers: Inside the World of Women's Work by Louise Kapp Howe

(if you don't have time to read the book but want to know more about the term 'pink collar' jobs, this article has a good at-a-glance)


Take care friends!
