Wow. I’m lost for words. I actually listened to that episode yesterday and there’s so much that didn’t sit right with me – the first thing being Anna saying “oh yeah, it’s been a crappy, crappy week for women with Sarah Everard and – Blessing – found dead on a Sussex beach”. Ffs, at least try to learn to pronounce her name in your stupid token sentence!
This podcast episode just screams privilege and stupidity to me – it’s fine if you’re privileged and stupid, but maybe don’t try to make a podcast out of it. They were basically just reproducing negative stereotypes of women by saying they found it surprising that the working atmosphere at Gleam wasn’t bitchy despite there being so many women. And I shouldn’t be surprised, but I’m still baffled that these two dimwits can’t understand the rules of maternity leave and call their minimal efforts research. This podcast is incredibly lazy content, and it exposes them for their lack of intelligence and awareness around anything that doesn’t directly revolve around them and their overly coddled lives.
