Womena
About this episode

We kick things off by unpacking how misogynistic ideals have historically molded femininity into a performance — from how we dress and laugh, to how we’re expected to serve and shrink ourselves for others. We explore how younger generations are both challenging and, at times, unknowingly reinforcing these outdated roles, and ask what it means to truly define femininity for ourselves. 

Hosted by Elissa Freiha (@freiha) and Amira Salah-Ahmed (@amiralx)
