This episode is The Misogyny One with our guests Dr Hannah Gore and Lori-Niles-Hoffman.
This episode was requested, recorded and edited in 3 days in early November 2020.
Misogyny is the dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. We expected that we'd have to do this episode - we didn't realise it would be so early in the schedule. It's a topic that women in learning face at a level that many men won't know about or understand.
In this episode we hear about how Hannah and Lori experience it, how they overcome it and some guidance and help for other women.
You can find Hannah here:
