The last episode of F-EMME was all about women in film. This week, we're discussing what it's like for women in the theater industry. Michaela has spent many years acting and performing, and she shares with us some of her experiences in the industry.

We're also thrilled to have Louise Thörner and Ida-Maria Ellström from the feminist theater group September Teatern on the show! They're their upcoming production of "Big Sister", about a social experiment involving 4 women who learn about what it means to be a woman but also about female role models who have been written out of history. Ida-Maria and Louise also talk about their experiences in theater and why it's so important for them to be part of September Teatern.

"Big Sister" will be showing Saturday, May 26th and Sunday, May 27th at Göteborgs dramatiska teater, with two showings each day, at kl. 15 and 18.

From names to toothbrushes and everything in between, society often codes things as belonging to one gender or another. The pointless "gendering" of everyday things is the topic of this weeks F-EMME episode. We discuss examples from pop culture, the significance of gendered products, and the history behind this phenomenon.

The different standards women and men are held to is the topic of F-EMME this week. We're discussing specific double standards that exist, including some high-profile examples, why women and men are held to different standards, and how double standards negatively impact everyone in society. We also share a few personal experiences with male-female double standards.

Tonight on F-EMME we're discussing female nudity, including how we feel being naked ourselves, empowerment through nudity, the "male gaze" vs. the "female gaze", and what happens to women when they want to be naked in public. We also talk about the hypocrisy of social media; some images of naked/partially naked women removed from social media sites, like Facebook or Instagram, while others are not. Specifically, the image of Venus of Willendorf, a stone figure created about 22,000 years ago, has been banned from Instagram, so why can Kim Kardashian post nude photos?
