About this episode

This episode is everything you need for when a man tries to tell you that sexism no longer exists. We really into the reality modern misogyny, including the rise of incel culture, the influence of algorithms, and the stats you need to have on hand. 


Laura Bates is a writer, activist, and the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, a platform that started as a simple space to collect people’s experiences of sexism and exploded into a global movement with hundreds of thousands of stories. If you've ever felt like you're "overreacting" to something sexist, Laura's work is the reason so many people now realise, they're not alone, and they’re not imagining it.
