About this episode

Cat Bohannon (Eve) is a researcher and best selling author. Cat joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why strangers want to tell her about their bodies, the reasons women often live longer, and how the medical industry doesn’t study women as much as men. Cat and Dax talk about why women are often seen as having more anxiety, how important females are to the success of a society, and why men have difficulties hearing women’s voices. Cat explains how working night shifts affects the human body, why women are better designed to walk upright, and how diversity is a strength of our species.
