International Women’s Day has been sanitised and corporatised beyond recognition. Is it time to put the prosecco down and return IWD to its revolutionary roots? Some believe it’s important to celebrate how far women have come, while others argue there’s little worth applauding given the glacial changes and a fixation on middle class women’s woes.  

In this episode, The Antoinettes hash out whether the time has come to axe IWD altogether.

Do We Need International Women's Day Anymore?

Marker 01

The default patient in medical research has typically been a white, heterosexual man from Pennsylvania. Let’s call him Andrew. So where does that leave everyone else in medicine?

There’s increasing evidence of the way women’s symptoms and conditions are downplayed or ignored in healthcare. But move over medical misogyny - medical gaslighting is here not only to borrow therapy speak, but to broaden the even more overlooked populations in healthcare. This includes POC, the poor, people with disability, LGBTQI+ and the elderly.

This episode will explore what is needed to address medical gaslighting -- systemically -- but also what individuals can do.

The Antoinettes also share their recent experiences of gaslighting, although one Antoinette has been so effectively gaslit, she struggles to remember it happening to her!

Hey Dr, Can You Stop Gaslighting Me Please?

What was meant to be a funny hosting gig, spiralled when one of The Antoinettes joined two renowned feminists and television pranksters The Inspired Unemployed. Let's talk about it.

Before the Daily Mail uses the over the top cliche, we want to get there first - Antoinette Lattouf has 'broken her silence' over the prank that didn't go as planned. (insert dramatic music!)

WTF happened? Was it really a shock that some audience members weren't happy? And what do you do when intention doesn't align with impact? This episode unpacks it all. One Antoinette is open and reflective, the other is still in hysterics. The Antoinettes explore public apologies, a woman's margin for error and if comedy and prank shows only have space for blokey men.

Look after yourself. It's a shit show out there! We'll catch you again next Thursday.

A Prank. 3 Feminists. Outrage. The Politics of Apologies

Commissioned poet and the more teary half of The Antoinettes - Azure - studio recorded the poem she wrote and performed at the No More Violence Against Women rallies in Melbourne and Sydney.

It's a rallying cry for boys to be raised to respect women. It's a plea for the killing of women from shopping centres to refugee camps to stop,

Azure also shares her experiences as a three time sexual assault survivor, and how violence even kills those who are still alive. It is heartfelt. It is passionate. It is urgent (even if it doesn't rhyme).

Listen to March On: What Do Protests Achieve?

If you or someone you know is experiencing violence or abuse, you can call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732  or text 0458 737 732.
