Governmental Ovarian Oppression - Aine Tyrrell
Manage episode 299603105 series 2968588
Ovaries and their owners worldwide are no strangers to oppression. Different rules for different genitals have almost always negatively impacted more greatly the female of the species. In Ireland the misogyny was born through invasion by the British and when church then hopped into bed with state. Ireland became a nation littered with horrendous events - some as bizarre as banning tampons due to their 'sexual nature' to the horror of church and state-led infanticide. What was it like to grow up female under such a regime? How did it flow into the day to day and how did it affect the flow of The Flow? A woman's cycle and her relationship with it?
This powerful episode is the tale and true of Irish Singer/Songwriter, storyteller and activist for change, Aine Tyrrell.
