In the era of the #MeToo movement, Black Lives Matter and a torrent of books on the subject, it’s a time when women’s anger at the inequality built into our financial, economic and social systems is finally being heard. Or at least some women’s anger is. In this week’s episode, we’re talking with emotional labor expert and author Gemma Hartley, and comedian and author Sarah Cooper, about the moment women’s rage is having, as well as the steps that most of us must still take to function in a male-oriented career world.

Mental load – it wasn’t till my husband left his 9-5 and started watching our 3 year old most days that he actually understood mental load. He got the concept, is a self-proclaimed feminist, and genuinely thought he was sharing half the load. But once he was home he realized how much more there is to be responsible for that we just don’t talk about. It’s like asking someone how they breathe – what do you mean, I just do it.
