How is micro-feminism helping women combat workplace sexism? Mar 08, 2026

Show notes

To all our female listeners: have you ever been a victim of misogyny in the workplace? Sadly, the chances are you have, given that a 2022 survey by recruitment agency Randstad found that 72% of women have “encountered inappropriate behaviour from male colleagues”, while 67% had experienced some form of gender discrimination.

But there are some simple everyday actions that can help us to counter sexism at work, and social media has recently been rife with discussion of these so-called micro-feminist acts. So the trend really began taking off when American producer and host Ashley Chaney posted a clip on Tiktok in late March 2024, talking about a couple of her own favourite examples of microfeminism.

What kind of actions are we talking about? How did microfeminism come to be so popular on TikTok? What’s the point of microfeminism? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How does eldest daughter syndrome affect some women? Mar 08, 2026

Show notes

Female listeners; if you're the oldest of multiple siblings, you probably know the drill. Being the big sister often means being thrust into a parental role from a young age and sometimes having to sacrifice your own personal growth as a result.

And discussions of this phenomenon have been increasing in the last year or so. The term "eldest daughter syndrome" has emerged and started trending on Tiktok from 2023 onwards. At the time of recording, the #eldestdaughtersyndrome hashtag had accrued over 1000 posts and nearly 50M views.

What exactly does eldest daughter syndrome entail then? Where does all this stem from? Why don't we hear about this with boys? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How to spot a heart attack if you are a woman? Mar 07, 2026

Show notes

heart attack can be deadly but thankfully there are life saving treatments out there. However, research from the British Heart foundation has found that women are not receiving the same standard of care as men.

Although heart disease and heart attacks are more common in men it is more likely to be fatal for women. In fact heart attacks kill twice as many women in the UK than breast cancer does.

Why are women’s rights regressing? Mar 07, 2026

Show notes

According to a World Bank report from March 2023, the global pace of reforms toward equal treatment of women under the law has slumped to a 20-year low. This decline constitutes a potential impediment to economic growth at a critical time for the global economy.

Since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in 2021, women’s rights have been systematically curtailed. From March 2022, it became the only country in the world where women have no access to secondary school or university. Similarly, to promote their vision of virtue, gymnasiums have been closed. A number of NGOs have repeatedly alerted international institutions to the fact that women can no longer work with them because of non-compliance with the country's compulsory dress code.

Is the problem the same in the West? How can we combat the decline in women's rights in Europe? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How does the "Scully Effect" raise young women's interest in science fields? Mar 07, 2026

Show notes

The musical film The Little Mermaid was released in cinemas on 24 May 2023. This movie highlights the importance of representations in the media. This effect has a name: the Scully Effect.

The combination made for an unprecedented representation of women on TV at the time, with audiences far more accustomed to seeing scientists played by white men. The fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are grouped together under the name of STEM professions. And Dana Scully was one of the first female characters in such a field to feature on prime-time TV, which would inspire a generation of young women to start careers in STEM professions. The phenomenon has become referred to as the Scully Effect.

Is there any data to back it up? Why did Scully become such an inspirational figure? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Do parents really not have a favorite child? Mar 06, 2026

Show notes

How is grounding helping women to have more orgasms? Mar 06, 2026

Show notes

According to a study published in Current Psychiatry Reports in 2000, 10% - 15% of women are affected by anorgasmia, the inability to reach orgasm.

Often, these difficulties stem from a person or their partner lacking a true understanding of their body. Difficulty in letting go during sexual activity can also be a factor. Today we’re going to talk about a personal development technique which aims to help those who struggle with such issues; it’s called grounding.

What is grounding? How does it actually work? A good communication isn’t enough? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Are men still being paid more than women? Mar 06, 2026

Show notes

According to data from the BBC men still earn more than women for the same work. The difference in wages (for the medium worker) is 9.4%, the same as it was in 2017 when companies were first obliged to publish their figures. The gap remains larger in the public sector at 15.1% compared to 8% in the private sector but neither have changed significantly from previous years.

“The gender pay gap is closing at a snail’s pace, At current rates of progress, it will take more than 20 years to close it. That’s just not good enough. Ministers must step up, or we will consign yet another generation of women to lower pay.” said The Trades Union Congress' general secretary, Paul Nowak.

Why is this still a problem? What action can be taken? What should you do if you think you deserve a raise? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What has the impact of femvertising been on marketing? Mar 05, 2026

Show notes

The term femvertising was coined by She Knows Media back in 2014, and recent years have seen more and more advertising campaigns champion female empowerment and challenge traditional gender norms, reshaping the marketing landscape.

But the emergence of femvertising has also led to a lot of scepticism, with some observers questioning whether the practice is actually a foe to the women’s rights movement, rather than a friend.
