Feb 20, 202100:39:27Tap to summarizeIn this weeks episode we look at the subconscious effects of internalised misogyny and how we all have been raised in a society that has taught us, from birth, to hate every aspect of ourselves. We discuss how our only alternative is to buy into the advertisements, plastic surgery and beauty products which capitalism has promised will make us worthy, and we explore the truth behind our judgment, the competitive nature between women and how all of these things create a woman hating culture.
