Hey Flex Fam,

Good to be back after a week off!

This week we discuss (binary) gender roles as a social construct and talk about how they influence our relationships with one another and ourselves.

We talk about how the happy housewife has morphed over the years into the corporate woman and further into the woman who does it all, perfectly.

We give Martha Stewart her flowers in telling us the Uber-perfect persona is just that: a persona, unexpectedly revealing the badass businesswoman behind the baked goods!

These and other stories...

Enjoy!
