Navigating Workplace Patriarchy

Saskia Warner '"Emotional" is a word used to describe "how women are perceived when they express anger or displeasure at work, while a man who does the same is simply viewed as 'passionate,'" writes journalist Jessica Bennett in her new book Feminist Fight Club. On this episode, we share ideas for navigating sexism and racism at work, with help from Bennett and About Race podcast co-host Anna Holmes. We also hear stories from Popaganda listeners and attendees of feminist nerd convention GeekGirlCon. If you've ever dealt with mansplaining coworkers or been written off as "bossy," this is the episode for you. The band featured on this episode is Shannon and the Clams.
