Ep 15: Prison With a White Picket Fence

In this episode we explore the history of patriarchy, and look at how the nuclear family structure isn't a natural evolution but a deliberate product of capitalism, designed to control and exploit women's unpaid labour.Join Triploi as we look into all the systems that came together to create the modern prison of gender roles, and why true equality is impossible until these systems are dismantled.
