ATW Discusses Feminism&Being An Ally - a podcast by The Gold Coast Report

It's Topsy Turvy week here at GCR and the show starts with some unfamiliar voices - It's the guys from After The Whistle on The Other Room (1:00)!

The guys introduce themselves (2:00) and give their personal definitions of Feminism. Donald goes first (3:00), Eames goes next (4:25) and reminds us of an old TV commercial to prove his point. It's then Cyril's turn (6:23) and Moos rounds it off by trying to poke a few holes in Cyril's definition (7:35).

Moos asks Donald (8:15), Eames (11:25), and Cyril (17:10) to give examples of gender based inequalities they have experienced. Donald and Eames stay close to home and Cyril reaches out to one of his favourite Superhero franchises for help.

The show moves on to oppressive centering of the discussion (19:10) and Eames takes us down a much darker side to gender based prejudices in Ghana. Moos introduces the Ally Continuum and asks the guys to tell us about where they fall on this spectrum (25:30) and and how that has affected their lives. Eames' is particularly interesting as it ties strongly to his relationship with one of the Roommates (guess who ? lol).

Donald brings up pushback from Feminists towards Allies sometimes (36:50) and the guys discuss how and why this happens. We talk #MenAreTrash (43:50) and how it makes each of us feel and finally on What's Poppin', we talk Rompers (51:00) with Donald getting a bit too excited.
Thanks for listening and catch the girls next time!
