Ep.4 On Same Sex Marriage

Hi! I'm Lucy and I'm getting married, but I'm conflicted. Why is this patriarchal institution so important to me? And how do other people approach it? Join me each month as I navigate the murky, fairytale-infused waters of modern marriage and try to work out how to do this thing! The Knot Ready Podcast is a look at marriage from a modern, feminist perspective. KNOT READY adj. 1. ready to tie the knot 2. freaked out by marriage
