The Truth Behind Long Lines at The Ladies Room: An Intro to Biopolitics ft. Nishita Rao
Manage episode 471005808 series 3614082
Why are the lines outside of women’s bathrooms always longer than the men’s? Why is black considered a more formal color than pink or orange? Who is really impacted by anti-DEI policies?
In honor of Women’s History Month, Cee The Sex Lady hosted Nishita Rao–a sexuality researcher and educator, Reiki Grandmaster, Mandala Art Therapist, Carnatic Singer, and self proclaimed Belly Dance Enthusiast.
Cee and Nishita explored what it means to be a woman, and how this meaning is impacted by biopolitics.
