The VICE UK Podcast: Powerlessness

Young women talk about the first time they felt powerless.

We know there are certain times when it's hard for you to read VICE – for example, when you are cycling or making love to your significant other. For those moments, we have created the VICE UK Podcast, a listen-y kind of way to enjoy our take on what's going on in this country and throughout the rest of the world. Subscribe on iTunes now.

There was a kind of depressing survey last month revealing that 75 percent of women aged 17-21 felt powerless. In this episode, we spoke to young women about why that was, and heard stories of catcalls, dodgy sex ed and playground bitching. We also spoke to writer Sophie Heawood talks about how gender politics is changing in the UK, sort of. Plus: weird conspiracy theories and the confusing success of Mrs Brown's Boys.
