Love in the Age of the Manosphere with Abby Govindan

Comedian Abby Govindan is asking big questions through stand-up: why is dating so broken, what has the internet done to intimacy, and why does tech keep pushing manosphere content? Fresh off a sold-out worldwide tour, she brings 'Pushing 30' to the Sydney Comedy Festival and stops by for an unexpectedly intimate conversation about the pressure South Asian women face to be desirable, marriageable and less themselves. Listen only on SBS Spice.

Dating is bleak and marriage pressure is alive. What is Abby Govindan doing about it through comedy?
