We start off this episode by discussing child-free women and climate change, drawing on articles by Katie, Linda Yang, Ruby Hamad and Wil Anderson.

Ruth Sanderson-Dredge from the Species Barrier podcast and Prevent Unwanted Pets Lincoln also discusses the sexism she faced as a young woman wanting to get a sterilisation. This is a continuation of Katie and Ruth’s discussion on child-free women from episode 166.
