Episode Two: Clothing & how it's policed

Clothes.  Too long we've been told what to wear, what not to wear, how long or short our skirts need to be and when we can wear trousers. That our outfits are too slutty, prudish or time-stamped, and that playing handball in a bikini is the only way we can play the sport – despite our male counterparts competing in mid-thigh shorts.   And to be honest, we're tired of people feeling like they have a say over other people's choices. We're bored of the hypocrisy and double standards. And we're disappointed that we're still dealing with the same old shit in 2022.  So let's walk you through a quick history of clothing, how it's policed and some of the hilarious explanations society has come up with to validate a backwards (and sometimes harmful) way of thinking.   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 sexual health and our own experiences with medical professionals. It runs until 22:08 so if this is a trigger for you or you're just super keen to jump into this week's theme of 'Clothing', you're welcome to skip ahead. A big thank you to our listener for trusting us with your story.    ***   As always, The Unfairer Sex is not sponsored so, if you liked our show, please show your support by liking, subscribing and sharing on all your favourite social media platforms!
