Join Dipa & Amy on a conversational adventure through the land of feminism! They explore entanglements of sexism and racism in everyday life, offering up an international, cross-cultural feminist take on lived experiences of gender dynamics & inequality.
Dipa and Amy talk about how women are not only disproportionately bearing the brunt of caring for people struck down by COVID in a health care setting, but also how it is impacting care at home. Also, we talk about how this affects black and brown women specifically, and why.
In episode two, Dipa and Amy take on the subject of makeup. They discuss a bit about the history of body adornment, respond to the guy at a party who was shocked to learn that Dipa could be both 'sexy' and a feminist, and consider the complicated social landscape within which people make a choice to wear makeup or not.
Dipa and Amy have a chat about the common practice of women changing their names when they get married. Looking at some stats and recent research, they consider why this is a feminist issue and some different takes on the practice.
