Makers Waffle Episode 20 - The First Group Chat

TW // Gendered violence  TW // Misogyny  TW // Stalking   For episode 20 we bring back three of our previous guest, Ruth Amos, Allie from Geeky Faye Art and Lindsay Creative to chat about how two middle-aged bearded blokes can be better allies to women and non-binary makers.   This might be the first of several episodes on this as we don't think one waffle will be long enough, but we will be back to our normal style next week. There are some hard truths,  some possibly triggering experiences shared and we know this is a difficult topic for some, but we don't want to shy away from it because we hope it will be helpful.     To our male audience, even if you think you are an ally, please listen humbly and learn.   To out non-male audience, we're sorry you have to put up with what you have to put up with on the scale that you have to do. We know we aren't going to solve this but we will stand with you and try.  The show-notes, which are slightly different to normal, include some of the pieces of advice or "homework" that came from either the guests or the live audience, can be found as usual in the description of the YouTube video for this episode: https://youtu.be/QaDhih6G2Zs As Makers Waffle we can be found in the following places: Instagram YouTube Twitter  Facebook Patreon And our personal accounts are: Jamie Reader: Instagram   Andy Pugh: Instagram  & YouTube .
