Description
Who has never heard the phrase “being friends with women is too difficult”? Female friendships never had the best reputation. It seems like they’ve never been a collective agreement (even amongst women) on whether we find female friendships amazing or terrible. In this episode our hosts acknowledge that both statements about female friendships can be true then explore the reasons why female friendships are everything at once: Terrible and amazing, nurturing and terrifying, easy and complexe. Based on the feminist book “Between Women: Love, Envy, and Competition in Women's Friendships” written by Luise Eichenbaum and Susie Orbach , the hosts dive into a feminist analysis of female relationships while going through an honest introspection of their own relationships with women  •••••••• Qui n’a jamais entendu l’expression « être ami avec des femmes est trop difficile » ? Les amitiés entre femmes n’ont jamais eu la meilleure réputation. Il semble qu’il n’y ait jamais eu d’accord collectif (même entre femmes) sur la question à savoir si les amitiés féminines sont époustouflante ou horrible   Dans cet épisode, nos animatrices reconnaissent ces deux affirmations sur les amitiés féminines peuvent être vraies et se penchent sur la raison pour laquelle les amitiés féminines sont tout à la fois : horrible et incroyable , nourrissantes et terrifiantes, faciles et complexes.  Basé sur le livre féministe “Between Women: Love, Envy, and Competition in Women's Friendships”, les animatrices se plongent dans une analyse féministe des relations féminines tout en menant une introspection honnête sur leurs propres relations avec les femmes.
