Listen "How I Feel As A Woman"
Episode Synopsis
How do you ACTUALLY feel as a woman? This is the most intimate conversation I have had with a woman about being a woman in 2020, or in modern times. I wanted to have this conversation because I thought I needed to have it.
I wanted to have it because woman confuse me - as they confuse many other men. I wanted to hear it because Amanda Grafe said something that is deep, really deep. She said…
Being a woman has brought with it both heartache and joy, but mostly it has shackled me to a role that does not fit who I am or what I am about. Prejudice exists for both men and women and being recognized as a self — one independent of these categories — might be impossible for most because our evaluation of others integrates physical appearance, emotional reactivity or sexual attraction, dictated by the roles assigned to that specific sex or gender. It is the latter assessment that gets me into trouble.
Like most women, past and present, I have had my fair share of struggles simply because I am female. My unconventional personality, coupled with the adversity tied to my gender, makes it that much more difficult to align myself with expectations.
Shackled.
Please enjoy!
