“I love this podcast. I have shared it already with many female friends and am excited to discuss the concepts. After listening to the trailer I thought “this is interesting but not that relevant to my life“. I was wrong. The lens that Evie and Aditi provide has shed light on my life. I am shocked to see just how much I have let myself believe society’s gender normative ideas about how a woman should spend her time compared to a man. Like the two presenters I and my husband are feminists and believe in the importance of gender equality. And yet after we had our son the equity/equality approach we both felt is important to how we lead our lives seemed to slip away. Suddenly the responsibility for house cleaning, cooking meals, and parenting was my responsibility. His was work. Even though I see myself as a powerful individual with agency I failed to challenge this situation. I am looking forward to discovering how this paradox came to be as this podcast peeks back the layers surrounding the core reasons why our modern society values the men’s time more highly than women’s. And why, as demonstrated through my own life, it appears I do too.”
