Mothers are tired of anti-mother misogyny, household labor inequality, and a culture that expects mothers to bear the burdens of its many shortcomings--all without complaint. Mothers are vital to feminism, and have been neglected in feminist discourse for far too long. Mothers are constantly told that political problems are personal--that if we communicate better, mother better, behave better, thi... more

No matter how much we try to relegate sexuality to the most private corner of our lives, it inevitably escapes. Sex is not really a private act. It’s a political one, which both influences and is influenced by our culture, politics, history, and more... more
Rather than taking the summer entirely off, I’m reducing my podcasting frequency to every other week, and posting reruns of some of my favorite episodes during the off weeks. I’ll be back to full-time in the fall.

Two weeks ago, I interviewed Justine van der Leun about criminalized survival, and why women so often end up in prison for “crimes” of self-defense. The truth is that women often end up in prison for behaviors that aren’t criminal at all—not just for... more

A favorite listen. Common experiences shared and explained in meaningful ways. Very validating, supportive, and insightful.
There are few to no voices honest and candid enough as Zawn’s on the topics she speaks of. That her episodes and blogs ring true to my experiences is how I know that Zawn goes far enough - and others don’t. I’ve been gaslit about my real, lived experiences as a mother and a woman in this day and age, country and society. It’s been horrendous; and we need more podcasts and voices like Zawn’s. There needs to be massive change now.
I am so happy to have found this podcast after reading Jessa Crispin’s latest book, “What’s Wrong With Men”. Liberating Motherhood is full of intelligent, insightful, challenging and poignant conversation that leaves me better for having listened.
Zawn’s work is critical for women to hear. I am so grateful for every episode and article that she writes and I feel hopeful that as we educate ourselves and share this information with each other, women will be empowered and hopefully change will begin.
Thank you for this excellent resource! Once I became a mother, I definitely felt the effects of feminism that was designed to get us access to the public spaces and jobs where we could compete on equal footing with men. And we have done that, with the wages of unmarried women and men being closer than ever. But once you have kids that pay difference goes off the cliff and you discover that the whole “we can have it all” is propaganda or cheerleading and not a reflection of reality. Children ... more
