S3 E13 Philippa Perry on admin, automobiles and the authority gap

Women Are Mad

What makes psychotherapist and writer Philippa Perry really mad? Online admin, self-service check outs and you'd better not call her 'feisty'.

With a unique blend of acerbic wit and radical empathy, Philippa brings fascinating insight to the many different ways the patriarchy messes with our sanity. From men telling us we're not feeling what we're feeling to being judged for the way we dress (asking for it!) and the fact that we will NEVER be taken as seriously as a man...especially if we're driving a car.
