Changing Lenses: Diversify Your Perspectives « »
Ep210: All the Single Ladies (are invisible minorities), with Jaime Ho

2+ y ago 42:12

MP3•에피소드 홈

We’re single, but we’re not alone. The population of singles are growing in North America – but we’re still a minority group. And like any minority group, we face discrimination and marginalization purely because we don’t have the power of the majority – even more so for single women.

If you’re wondering how that could be, you’re probably married. 😊 And your single friends and family need you to hear this episode.

Because singlehood isn’t a waiting room for marriage. It’s become an increasingly long-term lifestyle for people in their 30’s, 40’s and older. But our workplaces, businesses, even taxes, still centre the nuclear family as the “norm”.

So in this episode, we’re changing our lens to see through the eyes of two long-term single women – me, and my best friend Jaime. We go outside our comfort zones to (hopefully) de-stigmatize an issue that can still cause women to question their self-worth.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

How capitalist economies disadvantage single people
How parents and couples get prioritized at work
Why getting married isn’t the solution
A new worldview on the modern family
