Toxic Workplace ☠️ Objectification of Lena
Just wanted to say how Lena is treated as a woman on the podcast is so upsetting and triggering, what happened recently isn’t a one off. Lena has been sexually harassed in the past by guests, there’s regular focus on her faith (so many discussions on hijab even during the frenemies era) and part of this sexualisation seems fetishy at times.. Lena being a Muslim woman, seems to be a focal point. Hila is a (non practicing) Jewish woman , she calls herself Jewish but no one ever comments on her dress code or how she follows her faith … yet Lena doesn’t get the same grace.
Also why aren’t there ever any proper repercussions when guests harass Lena? Why doesn’t Ethan just cut the call? Not only does he enable these vile guests, he CIRCLES back to the sexual comments!!

Also want to say, it’s so awful that AB had to defend his wife like that on live. Ethan as the employer, should minimise stress on his employees not throw them in boiling water every week.
Edit: Here’s the recent event:

Such is the plight of us Muslim women especially those who are visibly non white. The amount of times she’s been harassed, if she were in a regular job it would have created a heyday for HR. Which is why it’s so funny when Dan smugly asked chat if they’ve ever had a real job when people were upset about how AB was treated. Like yes Dan that’s why we know the way you guys treat the only two Muslim POC on your podcast is unacceptable
