White Women’s Privilege, Amelia Dimoldenberg and Dr Charlotte Riley

No Country For Young Women
Contains strong language, adult humour and scenes of a sexual nature.

Available for over a year

I wanted to explore privilege, specifically white women’s privilege, and was joined by the CEO of Chicken Shop Date Amelia Dimoldenberg and historian Dr Charlotte Riley from Southampton University. We talked about diversity in the media and academia and bonded about being followed by famous people on social media (spoiler alert Amelia wins). Charlotte provided us with an insight into the historic context for ‘Karens’ among many other things and we talked about stereotypes, feminism and FAQs too.
