Ep 46: Pitting Women Against Each Other

We are no strangers to competition – give us a board game or a sports field and we will compete till the cows come home, but in this episode, we talk about an arena in which we refuse to compete. We dive into the historical and ongoing trend of pitting women against each other, from the royal courts of Henry VIII to the pop culture clash between Britney and Christina, and beyond. Why has society long fostered a culture of competition among women in areas where it doesn't belong? Why do we perpetuate this cycle of competition, and is it time to put an end to it? We examine the impact of rivalry in various spheres, including pop culture, the workplace, and the pressures mothers face to avoid judgment. Through a range of examples, we discuss the reasons behind this phenomenon, the unfairness and absurdity of it, and most importantly, how we can shift from competition to support. Join us as we challenge the status quo and this tired game of competition, and advocate for a world where women empower each other in all their endeavours, celebrating unity over rivalry.
