Ep. #7: Under The Patrichary, Our Bodies Don't Belong To Us - a podcast by Tan and Tanner

When I turned 16, my mom started telling me to shave my arm hair which, if you ask me, is pretty f***ed up. And even though I told her no, I later felt subconcisiouly pressured into doing it to feel desirable. A lot of what is presented to women as a choice these days, is still enforcing the patriarchal box that has been created for us. Is it really a choice if you're conditioned to believe that one of them is the right one? Is it really a choice if women's bodies are still not respected and have no bodily autonomy because of that?
This episode serves as a starting point of a very complicated and long discussion that is necessary. I hope you'll join me in shaping it.

P.S.: I am not crying in this audio - I just forget to breathe when I'm talking sometimes.
