Glennon Doyle and Audacy
About this episode

1. How, in the business world, Amanda is labeled as aggressive and dominant—and why that’s a gender trap.

2. Abby’s experiences of being publicly misgendered—and how that makes her feel.

3. Why is gender the last place we’re agreed it’s acceptable to make identity assumptions?

4. Why do we tell people who they are before they’re even born—and a thousand different ways every day after?

5. Why Glennon says two women in a marriage, handling their own business, rocks the patriarchal boat.
