Episode Six: How film has failed women

Welcome back to the Unfairer Sex Podcast. We hope you're having a misogyny-free week so far! In episode six we look at different ways film and media have failed women – either by deliberately omitting things from the big screen or failing to recognise optimum moments to better educate their audience. It’s worth noting at this point that we recognise that our intake of film and media will have been heavily influenced by our upbringings, and whilst we’ve tried to cast our nets a little wider the older we’ve become, there will be shows and TV and movies we’ve missed so if you’ve got a great example that we haven’t shared today, do let us know on twitter and/or instagram! Before we jump into the main theme of this episode, we share a 'Sorry, what did you say' moment from one of our listeners. This moment explores the topic of surnames for children outside of marriage – something that remains a taboo topic for so many couples. A big thank you to our listener for trusting us with your story.
