Summary
We speak to Clemmie Hooper - aka the midwife and influencer Mother of Daughters, who recently suspended her Instagram account after the trolling got too much - about why men and women are not equal in the eyes of social media. Why doesn’t her husband, Simon (aka Father of Daughters), who exists in exactly the same family and has twice the amount of followers, get nearly so much abuse? We talk misogyny and mothering; why women aren’t allowed to be financially successful in the same way men are; and why the best thing to do is to just rise above.
Also today, we make Producer Charlie’s week, and discuss The World Cup - High Low style.
For anyone experiencing domestic abuse or if you know of someone who is and want to help them, please call The National Domestic Violence Helpline on 0808 2000 247.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 60 of The Highloat, the weekly news and pop culture podcast brought to |
| 0:20.4 | you by journalist Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes. |
| 0:23.6 | It's been killing me all morning but I finally have to ask how was the Rolling Stones? |
| 0:29.9 | So to say that Dolly was bitter and twisted about me going to Rolling Stones and not her is |
| 0:34.9 | an understatement. |
| 0:35.9 | I actually got a voice note that said, I hate you. |
| 0:38.8 | Well I tell you the reason why I sent that voice note is I sent you a message saying, |
| 0:42.7 | I was writing a script, this is how much I love the Rolling Stones, I was writing a script |
| 0:47.1 | that features the Rolling Stones in it as a motif and I sent you a picture of the scene |
| 0:51.6 | I was writing and I said, do you even know a Rolling Stones song and you replied with |
| 0:56.2 | the voice note, round sugar, that's all you said. |

| 1:18.5 | to, I literally was going to like the Rolling Stones Guild. |
| 1:21.4 | Being fine, I wasn't there, being able to go to something that you were a bit jealous |
| 1:25.9 | of was quite gratifying. |
| 1:27.5 | However, it wasn't only you that thought that I shouldn't be at the Rolling Stones. |
| 1:32.8 | I met a lovely couple of girls called Chloe and Millie who actually told me that I shouldn't |
| 1:38.1 | be at the Rolling Stones. |
