This week we tackle a conversation that is difficult to come to a conclusion; Maid's Cafe. Originated from Japan, a culture that could be perceived by westerners as misogynistic and backward, but could it be harmless entertainment, and should people separate the illusion of performance and reality? We also share our views on self-confidence, the value of time through cultural consumption, and the deeply ingrained fear of male strangers.

Roughly one in 10 Aussies come from somewhere in Asia, yet when you look at our representation on TV, film, radio and literature, you’d think we were completely non-existent. What do you do when the world doesn’t give you the space to be heard? You make your own space. Each week, sisters and Sydney locals Helen Stenbeck and Jessie Tu give searing intersectional feminist critiques on social and cultural issues relevant to those living in Australia and abroad. Join us as we traverse the complex intersectionality of gender, race and culture.
