Episode 56: A (Lady) Officer And A Gentleman

Welcome to episode 56 of our Amerisogyny podcast!  In this week's episode titled "A lady officer and a gentleman", I delve into diverse topics ranging from women in military and body positivity, to battling racism in soccer.

The show begins with an insight into Denmark's decision to conscript women for military service, making it the third nation in Europe to do so. With rising tensions and threats looming over Ukraine and potentially Denmark, I discuss the logistic and ethical aspects of this move.

Transitioning to social media, we learn about a scandal in Nigeria involving a woman's review of a product that escalated into lawsuits and potential jail time. We then visit the US for a heartening moment where a social media influencer, Tabitha Brown, helps normalize real women's bodies, post-pregnancy changes, and body-positivity messages.

Our host shifts focus to discuss key gentlemen of the episode. First, we travel to Colombia, where the mayor of Medellín imposes a temporary ban on prostitution to combat sexual exploitation of minors. Next, we go to Spain, where Brazilian footballer Vinicius Junior confronts the racial abuse he faces, vowing to persist in the sport he loves and standing as a beacon of light against this many-faced societal ailment.

Join me on this journey around the world as we explore captivating narratives about women empowerment, standing against injustice, and celebrating natural beauty.  Available on multiple platforms including Podbean, Spotify, YouTube Music, Samsung, iHeartRadio and more.
