Sub·ver·sive with Cali Green: "Difficult" Women: A Revolution Rises episode features Chinisha Scott, "The Daily Show" Segment Director, Emmy nominated filmmaker, and co-chair of the Writers Guild East's Women of Color Caucus.

We discuss the idea of "difficult women," the article that sparked this podcast, how the label impacts women across industries and enterprises, and why a revolution in the workplace is rising as women become exhausted with the double standard.

The next time you hear a woman called difficult, ask yourself:
What did she do to warrant being labeled as such?

Did she ask or demand to be paid what she’s worth?
- Did she refuse to let someone disrespect her boundaries?
- Did she speak up to be recognized for something she inspired or built?

If anything like the above took place, none of it makes her difficult.
IT MAKES HER SMART.
