Episode 4 - Offended by Patriarchy & The Credibility Gap

In episode 4, we discuss how the word patriarchy has traditionally offended men and how do we reframe it to change the knee jerk narrative. We then dive into a phenomenon called the “credibility gap” where women are discredited based on the fact they are women. We share follower stories, court cases and studies regarding this phenomenon & its impact on women. TRIGGER WARNING: Abuse and child custody cases discussed.
