    Let's Talk About... Insidious Misogyny

    Hello and welcome to Adulting, and the sixteenth episode of Let’s Talk About… a broadening of Adulting... where that was about all of the things we never got taught in school, this is almost like seminars on life; where my audience (that's you!), get to chat anonymously about things they couldn't necessarily discuss over lunch with their friends, or feel like they don't have anyone to talk to about whatever it may be. 

     

    To get involved, follow me on Instagram @oenone, where every Tuesday we vote on a topic and every Wednesday we dig deep.

     

    Let’s Talk About… insidious misogyny. The submission read ‘Don’t know how to phrase this properly but Saoirse Ronan on the Graham Norton show and the problem with even the ‘nice guys’ not getting it/how women are always on edge’. So, I have condensed that to 'insidious misogyny', which I hope works!

     

    This conversation is two-fold, both about what happened on that literal couch, and the parasocial relationships we have with celebrities which mean we can sometimes give tiny viral moments, way too much airtime, and secondly. what this represents more broadly, at a time when gendered and sexual violence against women feels to be at an all-time high.

    Let’s Talk About… motherhood. The submission read ‘women sharing the realities of having kids on social media is putting me off having them’.

     

    This chat has been a long time coming. The topic of parenthood is something I grapple with, and I wrote a piece about it for my Substack, too, a few months ago, called Maybe, Baby, which I will link in the show notes. I have a lot of thoughts on this, and you did, too!

    Let’s Talk About… Jealousy. The submission read ‘being jealous of others and how to overcome it’

     

    I actually really loved this topic, because we all feel jealous from time to time but it’s such a shameful and somewhat embarrassing feeling that maybe we don’t always talk about it, so I felt it was nice to hold space to share these emotions and realise just how common they are.

    Ok first, we all need a wellness check I think, I have also been feeling similarly to so many of you but reading these submissions did make me feel a bit sad but also comforted and I hope by the end of this episode we can all come away with a renewed sense of clarity and hopefulness.
