Unpopular opinion: feminism edition
#10
04/02/2023

Pop some bottles for episode 10!!!!! Thanks for joining our journey ❤️‍🔥
Today’s topic has nothing to do with hormones but is still important to talk about: feminism!
In the 1920s it was illegal for women in the Soviet Union to not work, while in the Netherlands it was way more common to be a housewife. It’s funny how you experience things differently based on where and how you grew up. From having many female role models to only having a handful (like Wilhelmina Drucker): this is feminism the episode.
