Kinda Radical

On today's episode of Kinda Radical, we are looking back at two examples of women's involvement in peace movements during national conflict. 
First, we do a historical overview of The Troubles in Northern Ireland from the 1960's till the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. We talk about women's involvement in active combat, as nurses or safe spaces, as lobbyists and politicians, and finally as peace makers. 
Then we dive into a summary of both Liberian Civil Wars, what caused the conflict, and how women eventually were the driving force behind lasting peace through public rallies, marches, and sex strikes?
Whether women are fighting, healing, or negotiating, women have played important roles in conflict history around the world, but their stories are often forgotten. I am so excited to be bringing you two successful examples today of women's role in peace.

On today's episode of Kinda Radical, I dive deep into manspreading - what is it, and why has it been a strangely public feminist fight for the last decade - and how that connects to 'body trends' affecting the size of women's bodies and the space they take up.

Happy 3rd birthday to Kinda Radical! On today's episode we talk about the 4B Movement: what is it, why the movement focuses on those 4 points, and is the movement right for you? We examine how the movement began in South Korea and how it manifested in the US after the 2024 election. If you're curious about the No dating men, No sex with men, No marriage with men, and No giving birth, then maybe the 4B Movement is right for you.
