Episode Details

After a month away, I’m back, recording from my car with Sadie the Wonder Dog and a brain that’s had enough dark shit from Instagram.

How the do we begin fix this world-wide crisis that is male violence perpetuated on women and children? 

Today I’m talking about respect, women’s boundaries, anger, and why “no” shouldn’t become a negotiation.

When did you last feel respected? Tell me in the Spotify comments or my Facebook group.

Consent clarification: I say under-18s cannot consent to sex. Australia’s general age of consent is 16 or 17 depending on the jurisdiction, with additional restrictions in some circumstances. An unconscious person cannot consent.
