March is International Women’s History Month and this past Monday we celebrated International Women’s Day. The fight for women’s equality is a definitely nothing new. It’s a tale as old as Adam and Eve - and, in fact, this week’s episode discusses just that. The oppression of women dates back to the beginning of seemingly all religion and is woven deeply in all societal institutions - no one and nothing is immune. From politics to everyday interactions, women are constantly having to fight for a way to the top - and then it’s another fight to actually get to the top. Forget the top, it’s a battle to get anywhere - figuratively and literally. Whether it’s catcalling or the systemic disenfranchisement of women, join Tarini and Nadine as they discuss the importance of this day and month, and what it means to them as women with intersectional identities. The good news? Because the ill treatment of women goes so far and so deep, finding ways to support women is easier and more accessible than ever. Support women artists, shop from stores owned by women, and if nothing else, speak up in front of your friends, family, peers, and coworkers when you hear something that’s not right. Let’s all start holding each other accountable and start paying women (literally and figuratively) what they’re owed. Follow along on Instagram @ykwim.pod, watch on YouTube at You Know What I Mean?
