Are women and men equal? Yes. Are they different? Yes. Can both statements be true? Yes! But how that plays out is often where things get sticky. Yet, acknowledging the physical differences between women and men has massive influence on who we are as a culture, a society, family unit, and individuals. In today's episode, Caitlin talks with author, mother, and thinker, Leah Sargeant, about her most recent book, The Dignity of Dependence. Leah shares how our understanding of dependence is highlighted by the female body, but being dependent may not mean what you think it does. During our discussion, we touch on: - feminism and women's dignity - cultural assumptions that have impacted women's healthcare - the role of a contraceptive culture vs reality - the empowering gift of being a woman - the importance about sharing your authentic experience with the world. I really enjoyed chatting with Leah and I think you'll enjoy it too.
GUEST BIO: Leah Sargeant is the author of The Dignity of Dependence, and runs the Substack Other Feminisms. She lives in Maryland with her husband and three kids.
