A spirited, deeply researched exploration of why capitalism is bad for women and how, when done right, socialism leads to economic independence, better labor conditions, better work-life balance, and yes, even better sex.

Great summary of Socialist ideas for women and men
Reviewed: 08-06-20
Very enjoyable, even as a dude who's not particularly vulnerable to some of the faults of Capitalism that are discussed. It takes a fairly even-handed approach with equal criticism to Soviet bloc as the United States.
It doesn't dig too deeply into prescriptions, but does point towards programs that have been and could be successful in any society that strives for more equality and which favours life satisfaction over dogmatic affiliation to either economic system. If any argument is made, it is for a Democratic Socialist model similar to the Nordic model with an emphasis on data.
For such a short listen, it compresses a huge amount of refutations, supporting arguments, and empathy-driven rhetoric on many topics beyond just good sex.
