I’m a part of the target audience for Hysterical – Carrie Rudzinski and Olivia Hall’s poetry show about feminism, rage and sexism. But though their rhymes about bodies, guilty pleasures and the inequalities women have to face are loaded with honesty, justified anger and sincerity, I leave void of feeling.
The duo feed us facts about how the world is built exclusively for men’s benefit, such as how virtual assistants answer to men’s deeper tones with more ease. Or how women are hounded by constant questions about when they’re going to start a family while men are rarely asked if they want to be a father.
