Episode Description

Common sense used to dictate that men and women should only come together for breakfast and dinner.

According to Victorian historian Kaythrn Hughes, people in the early 19th Century thought the outside world was dangerous and unclean and morally dubious and thus no place for a virtuous, fragile woman. The home was a paradise, while men went out into the world and got their hands dirty.

By the mid 1800s, women were leaving home to work in factories and much more, and if you believed in preserving the separate spheres, the concept that men and women should only cross paths at breakfast and dinner, then as we approached the 20th century, this created a lot of anxiety for you.

In this episode of the You Are Not So Smart Podcast, we explore how the separate spheres ideology is still affecting us today, and how some people are using it to scare people into voting down anti-discrimination legislation.

For most of us, golden opportunities are seen as an unexpected reward. Luck is important, of course, but what is luck? As they say, serendipity pays visits to open and prepared minds. Defeats and successes are not so different. What is important is how we cope with the situation to turn it to our advantage.

We're looking for 'out of the box' thinkers and doers who can inspire our strategies to get things done more creatively and efficiently. Love Bachually That's Not Canon Productions We all know that love is about finding a genuine connection with someone, having open, honest communication and embarking on nationally televised helicopter dates to prove your commitment. We are Aimee Duroux and Geena Schwartz - two out and proud fans of The Bachelor Australia Franchise and your hosts of Love Bachually. We’re out to prove that The Bachelor isn’t a ridiculous TV show and gone are the days of labelling it as a guilty pleasure. Like a private orchestra on the first date, you’ll be delighted, confused and overwhelmed alongside us as we try to piece together the drama and fairytale romance that is the Bachelor. We’ll be diving deep into the politics of the show as well. How much of what we think is influenced by the way a person, date or cocktail party is edited? Are these healthy behaviours?
