Feed Your Fem: Childhood
Feed Your Fem is a biweekly podcast created by UoN Feminists in partnership with URN. The podcast is a creative outlet for our combined membership, and serves as an introduction for students unfamiliar with feminism.
In our first meeting of around 20 feminists, we discussed a myriad of topics key to contemporary feminism and debated how best to fit them all in. The main aim for our podcast is that it should be interesting; it will be the greatest reward if we make our audience learn, laugh and consider topics they can identify with but never thought of before in a feminist context. Within these themes we hope to tackle at least one major issue in feminism, therefore in the Childhood episode we discuss gendered toys and Disney but we also look at boundaries, sexualisation and rape culture. Future episodes, though their title may seem innocuous will include trans* feminism and life, sexual harassment, FGM and misogyny online. We may omit subjects that many would regard as salient, as we are inevitably constrained by time and feasibility, without the best quality of discussion or expert interviews we would not be able to give certain topics adequate justice.
