Garrett Girls

Hello everyone! After a long break we are so glad to be back! Both El and I have missed the podcast so much, but we are back on track with some sweet, sweet feminist rants for you. In this weeks episode we break down the male gaze and how it affects us all. From female sexualisation in movies to how Edward Cullen is the personification of the male gaze. We suggest ways of battling Mr Cullen and consider some pretty interesting questions surrounding femininity and androgyny. Stay tuned and we really hope you enjoy! Love, El and Bella

TW: In this episode, we discuss issues of racism and colourism. Hey everyone! We are back after a very long hiatus but this one is #worththewait. Our amazing friend Jess joined us to discuss issues of race and colourism and how the feminist movement has to support the BAME community. Packed with rants about how much we love women and the importance of embracing our individuality; we unpack the devastating effects of colourism and whitewashing in our society. Hope you enjoy!

TW: This weeks episode makes references to themes of sexual assault, rape and abuse.  Hello everyone! Due to the recent and much needed open dialogue about sexual assault that has surfaced all over social media, El and I have decided that it would be important to contribute to the discussion, with some of our experiences and perspectives. We discuss everything from locker-room talk and street harassment, to how damaging rape jokes are. Please remember to be respectful of other people, and their stories and boundries. We hope you enjoy and have a good weekend! 

TW: references to eating disorders and calorie counting. Hello All! In this weeks episode we are joined by two very special guests, Tollie and Beth, who both co-run 'Step Out of Line' on Instagram. Join four passionate, raging feminists discussing online activism, social media and the unattainable beauty standards it creates; all on one saucy zoom call. 

TW: References to things of a sexual and violent nature, including rape and porn. Hello everyone! In this weeks episode El and I dive deep into the infamous world of sex. We discuss things from awkward Sex-Ed to how porn skews everyone's perception of sex. We put emphasis on the importance of getting to know your body; since your clit was medically ignored until 1994. Join us as we deconstruct the patriarchy's affect on female sexuality, with some memorable stories along the way! 

In this weeks episode we look at the subconscious effects of internalised misogyny and how we all have been raised in a society that has taught us, from birth, to hate every aspect of ourselves. We discuss how our only alternative is to buy into the advertisements, plastic surgery and beauty products which capitalism has promised will make us worthy, and we explore the truth behind our judgment, the competitive nature between women and how all of these things create a woman hating culture. Join us as we look into ways of moving beyond our internalised misogyny to create room for all women to be successful. 

Welcome to our first episode! Get to know us in this episode before we delve deep into the realms of some banging feminist discussions. We talk about the driving force that got us into feminism. We also look at the importance of self reflection, loving yourself and some sneaky double standards. Hope you enjoy it and join us next week as we take a closer look at the depths of internalised misogyny.
