The TwoandaMic Book Club - Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism and other arguments for economic independence by Professor Kristen R. Ghodsee

About this episode

The episode discusses the relationship between political systems, gender equality, and female liberty as explored in Professor Ghodsee's book.

This is a book that at its heart focuses on the relationship between political systems, gender equality and female liberty in a number of different ways and situations. The book is written by Professor Kristen R. Ghodsee who specialises in Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. It is in many ways eye-opening and in others it simply lays out the truth for all to see, injustice is rife and gender inequality is one of the main reasons for the continuation of that injustice. Let us recognise these truths and push for a direction change. Gender equality is the key to solving many of humanity’s problems. The question remains, do we really want to solve them or is politics simply a show that pretends it wants to get things done? Thank you Greg for your time and analysis. This is TwoandaMic. Rise up and be curious! PS. I deliberately left in the chaos at the beginning just so you know we are not always as organised as we may seem.
