29. Jeopardy: All About Women!

Today we play Jeopardy that is ALL ABOUT WOMEN! Do you think you'll do well? 

I wanted to do a game show episode with questions about women that men should know by now, and it's a very fun time. I left in big pauses to really show how long it takes for us to answer or not answer these questions! Hope you enjoy!

28. Women's Panel #2: Catcalling and Sexual Harassment

Catcalling - the act of shouting harassing and often sexually suggestive, threatening, or derisive comments at someone publicly

Sexual Harassment - behavior characterized by the making of unwelcome and inappropriate sexual remarks or physical advances in a workplace or other professional or social situation.

Today I speak to three of my female friends about being catcalled and/or sexually harassed. We discuss how close these two things are, they can be separated BUT catcalling leads to more more times than not. Great day for learning and talking to friends however they identify, let's talk!


Topics:

-It’s an EVERYDAY occurrence

-Being Catcalled at 13

-“Are you afraid of having a daughter?”

-Catcalling from different races, by Car, Walking on the Street, Elevator

-Women Harassing Men

-“What is your mental process for leaving your house?”

-“Everyone knows a woman who’s been raped, almost nobody knows a rapist”

-Survival Tactics

-If Men are walking behind you, and don’t want to scare her, what should we do?”

-“After all these stories, how do you function?”

-Leaving Drinks Unattended

-Learning and Educating
