  • I like a lot of your analysis, but I’m struggling to keep listening.

    I was honestly pretty disappointed in the birth control misinformation episode, and my disappointment was tied to something that runs through many of your episodes - the total lack of acknowledgement of trans and non-binary people. I know that your goal is to examine right wing gender narratives, which often also refuse to acknowledge their existence, but I think you do your audience a disservice by reinforcing that same strict gender binary.

Episode 108 -- Live from San Francisco, It's Moral Panic Bingo Night!
Q: What does the anti-Semitism panic have in common with other moral panics?
The truth within them is often more complicated and threatens power, leading to distractions.
Episode 91 -- The Mailbag Episode, Part 1
Q: How did you discover your passion for this area of study or line of work?
The host discusses personal experiences of feeling disconnected from traditional femininity, leading to a deep interest in gender issues.
Episode 81: MLM Nation with Bridget Read
Q: How ingrained in American life are they? Do they exist everywhere or are they really more present in certain areas?
MLMs are everywhere and it's likely the true scope is unknown. There have been periods where one in eight Americans were involved in them, and they have expanded significantly overseas since the 1980s.
Episode 81: MLM Nation with Bridget Read
Q: Can I ask about the gender politics of all this?
The MLM scheme opens the system up to affinity fraud, preying on housewives and using trust networks, as women once involved in the traditional selling had a much weaker hand, which allowed MLM to present itself as empowerment while subtly reinforcing patriarchal structures.
