She Did it Like A Woman Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

Empowering women doesn't mean tearing down men. Nor should there be this competition or power struggle between the sexes. Unless it's a friendly Battle of the sexes. We discuss the premise behind phrases like, "she did that like a man" or "women do it better" and how they can be seen as a bit patronizing. We also discuss the foreign idea that men control marriage and women control sex in a relationship. Join us in the conversation.

Pan Phyu, the sister of CPL Thae Ohu, sat with us to spread awareness of her sister's case. CPL Thae was Sexually Assaulted by a fellow Marine (Who's name we uncover on the show) and suffered from PTSD after the attack. After years of struggling to receive help, she informed her command of the attack for her struggles to go ignored. A few years later, her struggle with PTSD led to her arrest. The civilian sector dismissed the case after watching her exhibit signs of PTSD. Months later, she was thrown in the brig and charged with attempted murder. She now awaits pre-trial in the brig. As this case draws national attraction, tune in to find out the details that surround this case and how you can help. Follow this case @justiceforThaeOhu on IG.
