Welcome to FOR WHAT, the stream-of-consciousness podcast where two irreverent sisters go unfiltered and unapologetic on all things power, patriarchy, and the BS women are just DONE tolerating. We started this show because we kept finding ourselves asking, "All these men... FOR WHAT?!" As we began to answer this question about men, SO MUCH more came to the forefront (because honestly, it's always going to be about MORE than men, right?) – it's systems, support (lack thereof), equality, healthcare, rights to our bodies, reverence, and on and on. We decided we are done shrinking, over-explaining, pretending the systems we live under aren’t affecting us every single day — in our bodies, our relationships, our paychecks, and our pleasure. Here, we name it. We say it out loud. The moments where we gave the benefit of the doubt — and were gaslit, assaulted, or erased in return. These are conversations we wish we’d had growing up. The truths we’re still uncovering as we talk it out. And we want YOU in the conversation with us! This podcast is for women who are waking up — and ready to start asking: FOR WHAT?
