Welcome to Episode 13 where we go off on the popular hashtag #notallmen and what it actually means when it's said in relation to the sharing of women's lived experiences. We talk about how using this phrase centres men in women's issues (a common tactic of the Patriarchy) and discuss where the phrase is believed to have originated and when it came into popular use. We take a couple detours on this episode, starting our conversation with the Capitol Hill riot and going "off piste" in our main discussion, touching on incels, violence against women and how the accessibility of pornography and rampant objectification of women in today's society.
