So.... Do we still need feminism (Part 2)

Women are still being dismissed by healthcare, underfunded in research, and underestimated in power - and the evidence is more shocking than you think. In this fiercely honest part two of the feminism conversation, Mari, Chris, and Coop tackle the systems, assumptions, and everyday biases shaping women’s lives, men’s lives, and the way both are seen.Mari brings the receipts on women’s health, from menopause being misread as depression to the reality of endometriosis, period pain, and the staggering research gap between women’s conditions and erectile dysfunction. Chris and Coop push back, question the data, and uncover where misunderstanding ends and structural bias begins.You’ll hear:Why so many women say they leave healthcare feeling unheardHow menopause can be mistaken for mental illnessThe weird, brutal history behind the chainsaw and childbirthWhy women’s health funding still lags far behind men’sWhat 41% female MPs actually tells us about representationHow patriarchy harms men too, from emotional suppression to suicide ratesWhy “not all men” is the wrong response to conversations about violenceWhether modern feminism leaves room for men’s issues, or whether the real problem is deeper than the movement itselfWhat makes this episode compelling is the tension: three hosts, no easy answers, and a conversation that keeps circling back to the same question - is the problem biology, culture, economy, patriarchy, or all of it at once? Mari argues that equality still isn’t here, Chris and Coop wrestle with what progress really looks like, and together they surface the messy reality behind one of the most argued-about topics in modern life.If you care about women’s health, gender politics, masculinity, mental health, or what equality actually looks like in practice, this episode will give you plenty to think about long after it ends. Thought-provoking, provocative, and unexpectedly revealing, it’s essential listening for anyone ready to move past slogans and into the real conversation.
