Aram Blew Up The Internet and Faces The Heat w/ Joanna Eisele
This week we have Joanna Eisele, a college professor with a Doctorate in Sociology and studies/teaches social inequality including racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. as well as a Crossfit Coach! Aram blew up the internet this past week and had hundreds (nearly a thousand) comments/messages about how he shouldn't use certain terminology when referring to women. You may be surprised when you hear the story, but this is a great conversation to have to create awareness around the way we talk and how people perceive it. WIth this, you can decide if you want to change the way you talk or not. Are we responsible for others feelings? Do we care? How can we be better? Should we? When should we? Listen and maybe learn.
