5. Women and What They Wear
In this week's episode, we talk about what women wear and why they wear it, including how we’ve been judged for what we wear and how (and why) we’ve judged others. This is followed by what the media has been saying about women and clothing on a number of topics, including size, age, and more. Then we dip into some of the societal reasons behind these issues (cough, cough: the patriarchy and capitalism). Finally we address the impact that these judgements have on women in today's world.
