Think Like A Lady Podcast

Welcome to Think Like a Lady! A podcast that enlightens tough issues about a woman’s place in a dominantly man’s world. Our discussions intend to stimulate thought provoking perspectives that are rarely the narrative in mainstream think tanks. From how the age of severe economic inequality has undermined women in the workforce to navigating the intricacies of the early suffragette movements who denied women’s rights to women of color.Let’s face it. Women are awesome. We’re not here to talk about us being awesome as just some empty platitude. We have some staggering data to prove it. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, as of 2019, there are now more women in medical school than men. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Education, women outpaced men in earning bachelor’s degrees by 1982, they earned more master’s degrees than men by 1987, and by 2006 they took up the majority of doctoral degrees conferred in the United States.Ok, but enough of us gloating. It seems that even though we’re just now beginning to dominate on so many frontiers, we’re still putting up with ridiculous challenges. From facing harassment in mosques, churches and other places of worship, and of course the workplace to the pink tax, Dua and Afroze talk about their own microcosmic experiences that lay bear on an intersection between their experiences as Muslim women who grew up with one foot in the west and the other foot in the east. Women have managed to conquer vast and numerous frontiers despite not being given the reigns to pioneer. It’s time we knocked men off of their high horse.

S2E5: The Dark Origins of Zionism

May 23, 2021 • Erik Al-Hussaina • Season 2 • Episode 5

Special guest Erik Al-Hussaina joins Afroze to talk about the bleak origins of zionism. Dating back to 1799 to when the idea was first described, to the Balfour Declaration lobbied by Britain to the League of Nations, Erik and Afroze reveal the troubling intentions of establishing an ethno-state. While many argue that to be anti-zionist is to be anti-semitic, Erik and Afroze delv deep into this misleading logic; in fact- by providing historical context Erik and Afroze make the case of how Zionism is anti-semitic itself. From dismantling the "Human Shields" argument to drawing the distinction between self-determination and zionism, Think Like a Lady Podcast has decided to make an avid effort to join the Pro-Palestinian cause in debunking dangerous rhetoric that ultimately serves to fuel the violence against Palestinians, the Occupation and the Israeli Apartheid regime.

Dua wasn't able to join us this week, but will be back again next week!
