Women have been fighting for equality for centuries—so why are we still battling for basic rights? In this episode, Tracy dives into the hard truth about systemic patriarchy, the barriers that keep women from true equity, and why the fight is far from over. From the Seneca Falls Convention to today’s stalled Equal Rights Amendment, we break down what’s really standing in the way of progress.
The system thrives on division, but real change happens when we come together. If you’re tired of playing by the old rules, this conversation will challenge you to rethink power, privilege, and what it takes to create lasting change.
Key Takeaways:
- Why the system is designed to keep women in a fight they shouldn't have to wage
- The overlooked history of women’s rights and what’s still at stake
- How pay gaps, representation, and autonomy are deliberately controlled
- Why unity—not division—is the key to shifting the system
- The actions you can take to push for real change
"The fight for equality was never about asking for permission—it’s about taking back what should have never been denied." ~ Tracy Crossley
