Have women achieved equality or are we losing all our rights?
Clashing narratives tell us that women can do anything, while simultaneously we’re being shackled and shut down. Natalie and Elle chat candidly about how women are actually faring in our cultures and in our lives.
A chat about women’s collective awakening to patriarchal backlash. At a time when women are enjoying unprecedented gains and liberties, we are also seeing a roll-back of rights and a rise of violent misogyny. The collective actions of yesteryear’s feminism won women significant freedoms, protections and material gains, but where are we now?
In the first episode of Chat In The Commons, hosts Natalie and Elle reflect on coming of age and living life as a woman amidst the historical human rights struggle called feminism. We look at the battles we’re losing and winning, trying to hold on to our hard-won autonomy and agency. We unpack the patriarchal backlash and ever-evolving attempts to regain control over women, and how women resist and persist.
We connect individual events to macro patterns - to better understand what this cultural moment holds for women. We zoom out in order to see the interconnected systems that trap women and men in destructive structures, but also to see the millions of like-minded humans - now connecting, gathering and shaping a new consciousness.
