Ep 18: Hidden agender

Ep 18: Hidden agender

Imane Khelif's Olympic story got us thinking and we spread our net far and wide this time as we waded headlong into the wildly messy topic of gender.


Why do the Olympic games perform a Fosbury Flopshow of a manoeuvre to come up with an arbitrary demarcation separating male from female? And that, at a period in history when we also know that gender is a continuum and not a binary construct? Why do men (and in general, people) not follow women's sport nearly as fervently as they do men's sport? Does the same preferentialism apply to the performing arts in general? Do men really care about women, and in fact, do they even want to?


This is a topic that deserves hours and hours of discourse, by people with a lot more knowledge and perspective that your two leftover lasagnists, but when did we ever let that stop us?


Do tell us what you think of this episode; We are @notytony and @knittins on both Twitter and Instagram. Do share this episode with a friend, preferably from the opposite gender... No scratch that - Do share this episode with a friend, who lies far away from where you do on the gender spectrum.
