(This episode mentions sexuality.)

Welcome back to Waking Up to the Patriarchy, our new series on You Gotta Try This. This season, we’re pulling back the curtain to see how patriarchy is functioning under the surface, shaping our entire society.

In this episode, you’ll hear a conversation with my friend Becky in which we talk about early conditioning around gender, theBarbie movie, feminine power, and how hard it is to try to live outside the box of what people expect of you based on your sex.

We suggested you watch the Barbie movie (2023) andSuffragette (2015).

Check out our Bookshop to find all the books we’ve mentioned thus far on the podcast.
