Benevolent Sexism with Celeste Headlee, Trusting Your Decisions, and Student Loans
Transcription: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ok-D11D1qqeC9BRRZBR4ukZFtGjq4SD9Ebfe0x1UH3A/edit?usp=sharing
We start off with Gaby freaking Allison out with Conspiracy Corner. They then answer a listener's question regarding going back and forth about breaking up with their boyfriend when their thoughts fluctuate so wildly. Next, the duo talk to Celeste Headlee, author of, "You're Cute When You're Mad," about casual and benevolent sexism, examining our own unconscious/implicit bias, why shame is an ineffective tool, and how and why to step in when you see microaggressions happening. And finally, Gaby and Allison get into the nitty gritty of student loans as a class and economic mobility question. Real simple stuff.
