Remember the 4B movement? Last fall, the idea exploded in the U.S. right alongside the election of Donald Trump. Some called it a “sex strike.” The idea was that women were going to say “no” to men. No dating, no marriage, no sex, no babies.

  • Just so good

    I heard Tracy on Burnt Toast and immediately looked up this podcast. I started listening to one of the free episodes and about ten minutes in signed up to be paid because I didn’t want to miss a word. It was like drinking water when you hadn’t realized how thirsty you were. Fulfilling.

  • Finding and confronting our feminist shadows with disinfectant

    First - the title - DIRE STRAIGHTS - really does set the tone - and initiates listeners into an examination and evisceration of heterosexism and indeed heteropessimism [thanks Clark-Flory for the latter concept!]

    Highlight: The moment when FEMALE CHAUVINIST PIGS by Ariel Levy was mentioned - yes, that book was 20 years ago and a bit more - and how it folded into the Dark Feminine of the TikTok/broader Internet subculture world.

  • A smart and approachable way into very tricky topics

    TCF is mostly made her name as a writer but she commands the mic like a pro talking about subjects on which she has more than established credibility; she and AM hold forth on not only the flotsam and jetsam of dating culture but the very relational water we swim in. Super interesting stuff, also a great podcast if you like the word “unpack”
