Feminists Without Mystique

Ep 165: Instagram Ads

We discuss the insidious, stressful targeted marketing of Instagram ads. As we navigate recent life moments (wedding planning, postpartum life, cross country moves) the aggressive Instagram messaging is making us feel more anxious and inferior than usual. Gah!

Ep 163: Book Banning & Censorship

We discuss the rise of book banning and censorship from the GOP and conservative parents and communities throughout the United States this year in the wake of the especially stupid, dangerous censorship of the Pulitzer prize winning graphic novel Maus in the McMinn County Schools district in Tennessee. Emboldened parents are increasingly interfering in public education claiming "parental choice" as an excuse to shut down class discussions on everything from accurate American history to gender and sexuality, to the Holocaust. 

We see you: Michigan GOP candidate Robert Regan, Disney CEO Bob Chapek, the Patriot Front, Alec Baldwin, space junk/littering in space, Missouri GOP lawmakers

Ep 161: Has Wokeism Peaked?

We discuss the bleak and muddled state of Democratic politics by way of a Bloomberg article titled "Has Wokeism Peaked?" From the specifics of the San Francisco school board recall and the Canadian truckers, we wonder about how Democrats can actually win the hearts and minds of voters so we can actually enact the social change we all crave. Considering the GOP's hateful, hostile, ignorant platform...we can't believe we keep losing to them! How are we alienating voters? 

 

We see you: Gov. Kristi Noem, Ginni Thomas, gross dudes on the internet, Gov. DeSantis, Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, The Academy Awards live telecast

Ep 159: Ugh, Joe Rogan

We discuss Joe Rogan, even though we really don't want to. Spotify, free speech, racism, misogyny, COVID misinformation, capitalism - we get into it because he is, after all, the wealthiest and most popular podcaster on Earth. Gross. 

 

We see you: Rep. Hal Rogers, Justice Kavanugh, Officer Matt Schrenger, Manly bands and Honeylove ads on Instagram, NFL, Harvard

Ep 156: Kyle Rittenhouse Is a Little Shit

We celebrate Britney Spears's freedom from her conservatorship (finally!) and Taylor Swift's newly released version of the RED album, and then get into the frustrating, enraging trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. Even though we're still waiting on a verdict, we're worried it won't deliver any justice or closure for the  victims' families (yeah, we're using the word 'victim' Judge Schroeder!). 

 

We see you: Tucker Carlson, Louis DeJoy, Eric Clapton, people shaming Tik Tok recipe creators, Andrew Bradshaw, NY Post article on “winter vagina”
