I am woman hear me roar - not too loudly though, please. This episode we engage in a whole lot of womansplaining on gender. How does our language contribute to gender stereotypes, is gender neutral language important and what's the deal with toxic masculinity? We're over ambitious with content this week, but I guess that's because we're just two 'rabid' feminists frothing at the brain ;).

It's a long one so turn up the speed, make a cuppa and reassess the way you consume media!
