  • Gonna pass on this one

    Basically a Taylor Swift snark podcast. If that’s your thing, you’ll like it.

  • I’m enjoying this!

    I just found this through the friends of the Big Story series, and I’m really enjoying it. This will definitely be a regular. ‘Meghan Markle’s house is adult Disneyland’ is the metaphorical insight this 41 year old mom needs!

  • Trans cult surprise

    Men cannot become women. Women should not have to accept the claim that men can become women. Trans activist men are misogynists who want to perform their woman-face and pornsick perversions publicly. How did you two miss this core feminist analysis?

    you’re also unquestioningly for surrogacy? Using women’s bodies to commodify babies for trafficking. One day one of you two will change and understand the feminist analysis.
