The term femvertising was coined by She Knows Media back in 2014, and recent years have seen more and more advertising campaigns champion female empowerment and challenge traditional gender norms, reshaping the marketing landscape.  But the emergence of femvertising has also led to a lot of scepticism, with some observers questioning whether the practice is actually a foe to the women’s rights movement, rather than a friend. Do you have any notable examples of femvertising campaigns? What do women think about femvertising? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is femicide? Thanks for asking! Many countries reported increased gender-based violence during recent coronavirus lockdowns. Femicides are the most extreme form of such crimes against women, and they have been on the rise for many years now. The term dates back centuries, but has taken on a new meaning in recent decades, with feminists placing emphasis on the specific nature and intent of femicide. It has gradually been adopted by international organisations like the United Nations and World Health Organisation. If a man kills a woman, is it automatically a femicide then? The murder of a woman isn’t always femicide, even if committed by a man. Femicide refers specifically to murders carried out because the victim is a woman. The WHO published an information sheet on the subject in 2012, providing details of several different types of cases. The most common is intimate femicide, which is committed by a current partner or ex partner. Worldwide, these account for 35% of all murders of women in the world. A study by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime found that 87,000 women were murdered in 2017, with 58% being killed by an intimate partner or family member. By the same logic, non-intimate femicide is when the murderer and victim do not have an intimate relationship. This includes killings linked to a sexual assault and antifeminist murders, for example. Other types of femicide include dowry-related murders and honour killings.  Are there specific laws on femicide? How the victime can get justice? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!⁠ To listen the last episodes, you can click here: ⁠What is cross immunity?⁠ ⁠What is the female gaze?⁠ ⁠What is white privilege?⁠ See ⁠acast.com/privacy⁠ for privacy and opt-out information.

According to Healthline.com, the human body has around 5 million hair follicles. Now you might not have guessed, but that figure is around the same for both men and women. And our body hair has a lot of important functions. It helps regulate body temperature by keeping us warm or retaining sweat to cool us down. It also protects sensitive parts of our bodies from infection, like the eyes and genitals. And yet, women often go to great lengths to have their body hair removed, and there’s a taboo around having hairy armpits or other body parts. It’s in no small part down to gendered social control. Is body hair removal a recent development? When did that become the case? What about pubic hair? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Over the course of a woman’s life, their hormone levels change in ways that can have a real impact on mood and daily routine. For example, it’s pretty well known that libido tends to decline at the time a woman is premenopausal. Now to address that loss of libido, an increasing number of women have turned to testosterone, or T for short, to rekindle their sexual desire. And if you believe accounts on social media, it does actually work, at least some of the time! Isn’t that a male hormone? Is it really as effective as people say then? Is testosterone an authorised treatment then? What are the health risks then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

It’s been over two decades now since viagra was first approved for use in 1998, the little blue pill from Pfizer becoming the first oral treatment for erectile dysfunction. Its use has steadily increased over the years, with the NHS reporting just under 3 million prescriptions in 2016, compared to 1 million in 2006. Its success has led pharmaceutical companies to look for a female equivalent. In 2015, the American Food & Drug Authority approved a pink pill called Flibanserin, marketed as Addyi, which became known as female viagra. How does it work? Let’s cut to the chase then; does female viagra really work?

Feeling hungry? It’s march 3rd, Pancake Day ! Which means you have to choose your favourite toppings! Pancake Day is also known as Shrove Tuesday, which marks the day before the start of Lent on the Christian calendar. The date changes every year, as it depends on when Easter falls.    According to Christian tradition, Pancake Day marks the last day of excess allowed before Lent. The following day is Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of 40 days of prayer and fasting. During Lent, practising Christians often give up something as a personal sacrifice to remember the forty days Jesus spent in the desert. Lent ends on Easter Sunday, when Christians celebrate Jesus’s resurrection from the dead, after being crucified.  How far back does the celebration of Pancake Day go? Why eating pancakes ?

To celebrate International Women's Day, which falls on March 8th, Bababam is replaying Do You Really Know episodes which look at the struggle against inequalities between women and men. All week long, refresh your knowledge about ideas and concepts which promote female empowerment. What is the female gaze? The term “female gaze” has been used in recent years to describe art that subverts the male perspective. The concept is seen as a response to Laura Mulvey’s 1975 essay about the so-called “male gaze”. Historically, this has been the dominant way of viewing art forms, with the male creator and male characters catering to male viewers. The rest of the characters often exist mainly to serve the male lead, his interests and his story. As a result, women have often been objectified or ignored, with their characters oversimplified. Why has this happened? Is it about reversing the roles and objectifying men rather than women? What are some examples of female gaze films then? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!⁠ To listen the last episodes, you can click here: ⁠What is white privilege?⁠ ⁠What is CrossFit?⁠ ⁠What is jiko sekinin?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

The human brain isn’t actually a muscle, as a lot of people think. But nevertheless we still need to give it exercise to keep it healthy.  While you can go to the gym to work out the muscles in your body, the equivalent for the brain is training and stimulating something called "brain plasticity”. Verywellmind.com says that plasticity “refers to the brain's malleability or ability to change”. And it’s definitely worth working to improve it too, as it can give cognitive performance a real boost. Are you saying improving brain plasticity makes you smarter? What kind of exercises can I do to improve those then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Let’s be honest, sleeping with an open mouth isn’t the most graceful of images, but in reality it’s pretty common. If you’ve ever woken up with a dry mouth or a puddle of drool on your pillow, maybe it happened to you. One of the reasons is because the muscles in our face stay tense throughout the day, but relax when we go to sleep. People sleep with their mouths open when they breathe through their mouths, and there are actually a number of reasons why that happens! Is it not just down to gravity then?

Running is one of the most common forms of exercise, and it makes sense when you think about it. You can do it more or less anywhere and equipment costs are relatively low.

It’s often associated with an increased risk of developing osteoarthritis, a common joint disease. So is there any truth behind these assumptions?

That’s the case even in post-pandemic working structures, with many sectors favouring a hybrid model rather than a full-time return to the office.

It’s been just over three years since Brexit came into effect and the latest YouGov poll from late February 2023 suggests that 53% of Brits now think it was wrong for the UK to leave the EU. The infamous 2016 Brexit referendum exposed deep divisions within British society, which have only deepened since. Three prime ministers have come and gone since, and current PM Rishi Sunak is facing an unprecedented crisis, with the UK seemingly on the brink of economic and social implosion. Now Brexit is of course a portmanteau term in itself, which has led people to create other neologisms around the subject, including “Bregret”, a combination of Brexit and “regret”.  What does the population think of Brexit in 2023?

Viagra was developed by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, and was first made available to the American public soon after FDA approval in March 1998. Within just two weeks, 15,000 prescriptions had been written in the United States. An article published in the Pharmaceutical Journal in 2017 stated that at that time it had “been prescribed for more than 64 million men worldwide”, while a report by The Guardian from the same year said that the stigma around erectile dysfunction had faded, citing NHS figures which showed that viagra prescriptions had nearly tripled over the preceding decade.
