Catch Da Flava Talks About Feminism and Women’s Sexual Health!
Catch
Da Flava had their first show of the new year on January 15th 2019! Our
hosts Shejuanah, Thalia, Jessica and Meredith held a captivating discussion on
women’s sexual health.
Our
hosts began by defining the concept of feminism as “the advocacy of women’s
rights on the basis of the equality of sexes,” and went on to discuss their own
experiences with women’s sexual health related topics like birth control, PMS,
consent, and the current sexual education curriculum in secondary schools.
Throughout
the discussion it became apparent that our hosts had varying experiences when
it came to the PMS symptoms they felt, the kind of sexual education they
received, and even the attitudes they were accustomed to around the subject
matter.
What
was unanimous however, was their belief in the importance of normalizing
women’s sexual health topics through discussion and education, with a
particular emphasis on the importance of consent. Moreover they shared their
hope in the possibility that male birth control alternatives will be
established in the near future, along with a more progressive update of Doug
Ford’s current sex-ed curriculum.
