S1E9 - Catcalls, Kilts & “LinkedIn Isn’t Tinder”: What Walking a Mile in Her Shoes Really Looks Like
Manage episode 521206726 series 3703444
In this messy-but-necessary conversation, Siobhán and Andy dig into the everyday reality women face from catcalling and “optics” to objectification at work and what men can actually do about it.
We talk intent vs impact, how social media blurs the lines between professional and personal, and why “LinkedIn isn’t Tinder.” Plus: the “kilt test,” power dressing as armour, and how to start noticing what you’ve been conditioned to miss.
If this episode is your pill from The Matrix, swallow it then share it with a mate.
