The Unfairer Sex

Welcome back to the Unfairer Sex Podcast. We hope you're having a misogyny-free week so far! In episode six we look at different ways film and media have failed women – either by deliberately omitting things from the big screen or failing to recognise optimum moments to better educate their audience. It’s worth noting at this point that we recognise that our intake of film and media will have...

If we're being completely honest, we had something completely different planned for episode five. But alas, it seems that our audience's sorry what did you say moment sparked a fire in our bellies and rather than look at the world around us, we divulged into the sexism and misogyny we had experienced of late. The reason we felt it important to publish this episode was because everything we share h...

Happy International Women’s Day! This bonus episode takes you on a whistle-stop tour of IWD basics. We talk about the origins of IWD and how it has grown from a small march protesting gender inequality to the internationally recognised day for championing women’s rights on a global scale.

Clothes.  Too long we've been told what to wear, what not to wear, how long or short our skirts need to be and when we can wear trousers. That our outfits are too slutty, prudish or time-stamped, and that playing handball in a bikini is the only way we can play the sport – despite our male counterparts competing in mid-thigh shorts.   And to be honest, we're tired of people fee...

When was the last time the perfect comeback slipped your mind in the moment? In this episode, The Unfairer Sex explore notable "sorry, what did you say?" moments, reflecting on how we responded at the time, how we wish we had responded with the benefit of hindsight and sometimes, patting ourselves on the back for delivering the perfect retort. Don't be fooled. Just because you said the right thing...

From baby feminist to get the fuck out of my way, this episode gives you an intimate introduction to The Unfairer Sex, our aspirations for the platform and the four women behind the microphones that will be gracing your ears each episode.  What is The Unfairer Sex? We're glad you asked! We are a group of professional women who are really quite tired of the misogyny, discrimination and effects...
