Summary

What does it mean to experience misogyny these days? Is it the typical locker room talk and exclusion, or does it go deeper than that? In today's episode, my guest and I discuss the many dimensions of misogyny, including: 

  • Internalised misogyny and sexism from other women
  • The psychology of the 'pick me' girl 
  • Dating as a feminist 
  • The ethics of cosmetic surgery 
  • How to handle misogyny in the workplace, and much more...
