  • Gender Equality: Why We're Not There Yet (and Who's Holding Us Back)
    Nov 13 2024

    If we’re so close to gender equality, why does it still feel like women are running a marathon in heels? In this episode, award-winning journalist and bestselling author Liz Renzetti breaks down the illusion of progress when it comes to gender equality. She schools the boys on why caregiving—mostly done by women—is undervalued, how NDAs silence victims of harassment, and why the rise of “tradwives” has patriarchy patting itself on the back. From the eerie silence surrounding NDAs to the tech world’s need for more female voices, Renzetti’s insights challenge the status quo with wit and candor. Listen in for a fresh take on allyship, accountability, and the uphill trek toward true gender parity.
