Episode 05: Identity, Women and Politics.

This week we talked about one of our favourite topics - women and politics. Honestly, we could both talk about this at length and in great detail. We took a look at the rise of women leaders across the world. We also spoke a little about identity in a post-Brexit world, national borders, nationalism, and nation-states.

We look back at the fact that the 2020 US elections had six viable female candidates and there are none left in the race today. We asked ourselves if it more important to elect the next female leader, even if you don't agree with that person 100%? Is gender a policy, and should it even be?

Thanks for tuning in and see you next week.
