Women have often had to navigate systems of oppression, from fighting for basic rights such as the ability to vote and receive education to battling against cultural norms that confine them to traditional roles. Despite making significant strides toward equality, many women still face issues like discrimination in the workplace, gender-based violence, and unequal access to healthcare. These struggles are compounded by the weight of balancing professional aspirations with family responsibilities, as well as the continuous pressure to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty and behavior. Nonetheless, women continue to demonstrate resilience, courage, and leadership in overcoming these adversities and advocating for a more just and equal society. THE IAN SIDMAN SHOW Ian Sidman My life is crazy, by just 17 I got a bench press national record and 50k followers on TikTok ... which was fueled by lack created from getting bullied, diabetes, and never feeling enough. So there I was 17, finally everyone wanting to be friends with me - I had my life in check, everything seemed good! But I was depressed and on pills, I felt so so lost. It made no sense. So I started questioning my reality & uncovering the truth - I became an entirely different person (unrecognizable). My life is really good. So now I'm sharing what I've learned out of a strong desire to love & serve others. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theiansidmanshow/support
