  • Not really a feminist

    I just want all the women who think that Deborah fun fab and empowering to realise that she is actually men’s rights activist. Just think! Feminism isn’t about us very comfortable, privileged women, it’s about all women including the very vulnerable, the ones who have tough lives, who have to live in poor conditions and communities surrounded by parolees and other violent and disturbed people we may never have contact with.

  • Deb!

    Found you for the AJLT recaps, stayed for the really insightful catalogue of episodes. Pumped you had Laura Bates on! Love her work. I also think your AJLT/Carrie voiceover rewrites deserve a Peabody 😂

  • Great episode on the EHRC Bathroom Ban

    Thank you so much for getting the word out about the terrible bathroom ban that the EHRC are trying to bring in. You really helped explain what is really going on and what this will mean for trans people. For anyone who has a feminist ally, like me, have a look as well for the “Not In Our Name” petition to support the trans community! Really looking forward to listening to more episodes of this podcast.
