  • My Extremely Well-Informed Younger Friend Who Has a Podcast

    Cristen patiently fills in an embarrassing number of gaps in my education—about women, race, gender, culture, power, history, economics and all the assumptions I've somehow absorbed in life. It’s obvious she’s endlessly curious, obsessed with history and research, and finds the right people to talk to & not the ones being pushed out by PR teams.

    I’m a long time fan. I’ve been following her since Stuff Mom Never Told You. She's my well-informed friend who’s been translating the language of *you... more

  • Perimenopausing Unladylike

    The framing of your perimenopause episode insults women like myself who have dealt with ten years heavy periods, fatigue, cognitive disfunction, dis-regulated emotions, sleep deprivation, and sweat poring from our bodies. Sure, capitalism will gobble up any problem and offer its snake oil “solutions”. Show a little more respect and do your research before you pose snarky little polls like “is perimenopause real?” Unfollowing after this one.

  • ADHD Episode

    I just listened to the adhd episode and I am a young woman. It just made me feel such empathy but also gratefulness because I was diagnosed in middle school with ADHD inattentive and I take medication for it, but when I don’t take my meds I feel just as all those women describe it’s like spacey and just feels like focusing is either stone cold (hyper fixation) or it’s legit impossible and feels like gears grinding and it’s so mentally and emotionally draining! I really love that this is being ta... more

  • No she did NOT spend an hour saying Not All Men

    Just heard the breadwives (sic) episode. That was some manpoligizing “oh my husband is the good kind” dreck. Hard unsubscribe.

    To be helpful: Stop talking about men. Stop talking about men. Stop talking about men. You haven’t healed yet.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wedlocked with Hillary Frank
Q: What do you think it would take for our society to let us not be happy all the time?
Frank says people need to understand that feeling and processing emotions can help people more than suppressing them, which can also have physical consequences.
Wedlocked with Hillary Frank
Q: Can you back up a little bit and tell us about who Zara is when we meet her and how has her marriage defined her identity at that point?
Zara is a fitness instructor at the popular Uplift app, where she begins dating and eventually marries its founder, Ezzy. Their relationship creates workplace tension, while her home life brings pressure to perform a cheerful, curated image for the app.
Why Tradwife Culture Doesn't Work for Gen-Z Latinas with Cynthia Salinas Cappellano
Q: What should people understand about the labor behind these online personas?
Listeners should recognize the constant performative labor, the editing and curation that makes it look effortless, and the broader labor hidden behind the aesthetics, as well as the potential harm when followers imitate it without full context.
Why Tradwife Culture Doesn't Work for Gen-Z Latinas with Cynthia Salinas Cappellano
Q: Why doesn't Trad Wifeism work for Latinas?
Because Latinas face different life chances and historical contexts, including less class privilege and higher barriers to education, making the tradwife path less accessible and less subversive within their communities.
Why Tradwife Culture Doesn't Work for Gen-Z Latinas with Cynthia Salinas Cappellano
Q: What was your entry point with Trad Wives and this figure of the Trad Wife?
The guest explains that her entry point was The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and the algorithm brought Ballerina Farms into her feed, which led to broader exposure to tradwife content and its cultural resonance.
