  • Disappointed

    I am hugely disappointed by the latest episode’s failure to seriously condemn the protracted harassment of Jewish participants in Filia. While this is usually an interesting podcast, it has fallen to factionalism and anti-Semitism, which represents a loss to feminism more widely. Truly shameful that there was no balance or fairness regarding this issue, and no support for Jewish feminists.

  • Whether they took a heel turn or were grifters all along, don’t take them as a real feminist radio

    The short is this: Don’t bother listening to this unless you need to confirm your rightwing views in propaganda couched in feminist language.

    I came across this podcast on a list of leftist podcasts and figured I could listen to this as a news source from deliberately feminist lenses.

  • look who you are alligned with

    If you call yourself a feminist who claims to support women’s rights but find yourself aligned in your hatred and demonization of the same demographic the pro life hard right racists hate and demonize then your liberatory praxis is in fact, not- and thus, trash.

  • One of my favorite podcasts

    Always interesting and packed with information, not a wasted minute — I usually want to listen to each episode twice. There’s nothing else like this podcast, and if you care about women and feminism it’s not merely good — it feels essential.

Talking Points

Edition 116: The Equal Rights Amendment with Freda, Wendy Murphy & Margaret Moss
Q: Can you give us just a tight picture of what your current case is and why you're going to the trouble with this case?
Wendy describes her recent lawsuit challenging the federal statute requiring only men to register for the draft, emphasizing that it signifies women's status as second-class citizens and is important for women to be equally recognized in civic duties.
Edition 116: The Equal Rights Amendment with Freda, Wendy Murphy & Margaret Moss
Q: What is it that the ERA affords us? Why is it so critical?
Wendy outlines that the ERA is essential because it requires equal treatment of women under the law, mandating strict scrutiny for any legal discrimination based on sex, which is not guaranteed currently.
Edition 116: The Equal Rights Amendment with Freda, Wendy Murphy & Margaret Moss
Q: Wendy, can you give us a background on the ERA in terms of where it started and how we ended up where we are today with it still not being ratified?
Wendy provides a historical overview, revealing that women began fighting for the ERA after the 14th Amendment was adopted in 1868, noting that the ERA was initially drafted by Alice Paul in 1923 and has been subject to various political pressures and setbacks since then.
Edition 114: Males in Women's Jails with Brianna Pressley, Elizabeth Watson, Thistle Pettersen & Sekhmet SheOwl
Q: What motivates the prison to place the men into these single cells?
The motivations seem unclear, but there are questions whether it's to protect women or reward men with privileges.
Edition 113: The Nuclear Threat with Cynthia Enloe, Thistle Pettersen & Aurora Linnea
Q: What can be done about the psychological terror associated with the nuclear threat?
Cynthia suggests that understanding the humanitarian impacts of nuclear weapons and engaging with movements like ICAN—which are led by those most affected—can create pathways for hope and action against the nuclear threat.
