Five - Design Your Own Citizen

Describes the imposition by the state of traditional values on women, for example the need to have permission from a husband or father before having an abortion, what is suitable dress, or behaviour, or occupation. Mentions that these values are often championed by other women, and describes encounters with female Erdogan and Trump supporters, but does not have an explanation for why they support such misogynistic leaders.
