Well-Behaved Women

In this episode of the pod, Emily and Meredith do another quick run-down of recent news about the #MeToo movement, including the latest public opinion polling data, an op-ed by a man who encourages men to own up to their sexist attitudes, and a New York Times piece about men sharing stories of actions they regret. The takeaway? Boys, share your feelings! Split a pair of headphones out of an iPod mini and talk about your emotions! Intro music courtesy of bensound.com

Emily and Meredith do a super-charged, very spastic lightning round, discussing recent stories about abortion, the #MeToo movement in ballet, and the New York Times’ great piece about young women turning 18 around the world. There are tangents to be had and some much-needed laughs after all the Kava-news. Intro music courtesy of bensound.com.

Trigger warning: This episode of Well-Behaved Women contains detailed descriptions of sexual harassment, assault, and rape. Meredith and Emily share their stories with sexual harassment, and share a few anonymous, brave listener #WhyIDidntReport stories as well. And guess what? Even as we’re releasing this episode, we’re still really nervous about sharing our own experiences. This isn’t a fun episode, but we hope it brings you some sense of whatever it is that you need in this national moment. #BelieveSurvivors
