Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of 8 At The Table! In this installment, join hosts Erin The Renegade, Rico Hundo, Amanda, and special guest Smooth from the Cook' N Up Podcast as they delve deep into the contentious topic of "Who Started The Gender War?"

Smooth sets the stage by sharing insights from his podcast, discussing gatekeepers and cooking chef-stay meals before diving into the heart of the matter. The panel engages in a lively conversation about the historical context surrounding gender dynamics, drawing parallels to significant moments such as the enactment of the New York State Married Women's Property Bill in 1848.

Did you know that as a result of concerted efforts, married women gained the right to own property, keep their own wages, and even secure custody of their children? The impact of trailblazers like Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who championed more liberal divorce laws in New York, cannot be understated.

Throughout the episode, the cast explores various facets of gender equality, from the challenges of single motherhood versus single fatherhood to broader societal implications. Join us as we navigate through history, reflecting on past struggles and contemplating the path forward.
