  • 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.

  • 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.
