48:43

The COVID-19 crisis has brought America’s childcare crisis into sharp relief. Millions of women are struggling to work while caring for their kids.

The power of humor with comedians Lauren Lapkus & Cameron Esposito 42:06

4y ago42:06

42:06

For many women, “joking around” is something we do when we’re uncomfortable. Humor is a way to deflect an unwanted sexual advance, brush off a sexist comment, or cope with anything else that makes us cringe. But when we wield humor intentionally and unapologetically, it can be much more than a defense mechanism—it can be a tool to take back power. …

Helping boys get out of the "man box" with Peggy Orenstein & Dr. Michael Reichert 38:20

4y ago38:20

38:20

We know gender stereotypes hurt girls. But what are they doing to boys? From a young age, our society tells boys they must be dominant and tough. They learn not to show vulnerability or ask for help. That emotional suppression makes it hard for boys to cope with, well, everything—and it’s painful for the people who love them, too. So this week on T…

We know big problems require big solutions. But change almost always starts small, with one person rolling up their sleeves and deciding to go all in.

Jamie Margolin and Shannon Watts both started grassroots movements aimed at addressing huge environmental and social challenges.…

Breaking the burnout cycle with Arianna Huffington & Emily Nagoski 50:05

Exhausted. Stressed. Anxious. Berating yourself for “not doing enough.” These are all signs of burnout—and too many women are intimately familiar with them.

We worry about a lot of things when we go to the doctor, from “Am I OK” to “How much will this cost?” But we probably don’t think about whether our gender is affecting the care we receive – and it does.

37:03

These days, if we want to know something, we ask Alexa or Siri. We increasingly rely on artificial intelligence to help us make big (and sometimes wrong) decisions about who gets a job, who gets a mortgage, and who gets sent to prison. Few people realize just how much AI is shaped by existing information and the limitations of the people building i…

Likeability bias hurts women in politics—but this might be changing 33:17

6y ago33:17

33:17

Ever heard someone say “I just don’t like her” about a woman running for office?
