Feminist Fridays #84: Sexy Sarees, Strongmen Politicians and Satyabhama

On this week's episode, we discuss a range of things, from how sarees should be tied (must everything be sexy?), to the rise of misogynistic leaders and the influence said leaders can have on society, before ending with the story about Satyabhama's  role in the downfall of Narakasura.
