Boy math is…

The Women"s Agenda Podcast ·

2023/10/06

Among many other things, boy math is not counting women for awards and on lists. This week, Katalin Karikó and Anne L’Hullier won Nobel Prizes in medicine and physics, but there is still a long way to go in recognising the achievements of women in all fields. Why do we think this? A list from LinkedIn on the top Australian startups in 2023 featured 32 men and just one woman. Boy math…On this episode, we also look at Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil’s cool, calm and cutting shot at Peter Dutton,

Boys chuck a tantrum over the Matildas

2023/08/25

It's been a while since we've heard anything from Nick Kyrgios... so he's put his two cents in about the Queensland government's announcement to erect a statue of the Matildas at Suncorp Stadium.

Wanted: More gender balanced cabinets

2023/08/04

Did you ever think we would gobackwardsin gender parity within government cabinets around the world? Neither did we. It’s happening in countries like Hungary, where they now have an all-male cabinet.On a more positive note, the Matildas v Canada Women’s World Cup match became Channel 7’s most watched program of the year. We think Brazilian soccer icon Marta’s brilliant press conference speech sums up the rise in women’s football quite nicely: “20 years ago, in 2003, nobody knew Marta–it was my first

Take a pay cut, if you work from home

2023/07/14

If you "choose" to work from home, then you're saving time and money! As one 1990s premier proposed this week, how about taking a pay cut to support productivity and pay rises elsewhere? We discuss the idea, just as one of the country's biggest employers is set to offer more guaranteed flexibility. Elsewhere, we dive into a discussion on 'boundaries' as red flags to controlling behaviour, thanks to Jonah Hill. Plus, we are days from the FIFA Women's World Cup!
