Backlash and Bravery: The Attack on Feminism

Welcome to the 5th season of Woman Uncaged! In episode one, we dive into the erasure of older women and why that loss matters for everyone. When women who know their minds disappear from view, men lose models for growth, relationships flatten, and a market built on insecurity thrives. We challenge the claim that women are naturally more conformist and look at how submission is enforced by systems (military, corporate, and cultural) that prize obedience. We also take a hard look at beauty standards and the cult of youth, asking the hard question: who are we doing this for? The answers expose how profit, patriarchy, and fear make us smaller. We share our thoughts on the antidotes that make us free.
