Finally cracked 5k a week! 🥳

No main pod this week, but we’ll be back next week with an episode on the start of the Russell Brand trial

Plus, Good Girl Syndrome, hypersensitivity, inaction, and defensiveness to percieved personal failure, difficulty navigating the chasm between great expectations and reality, and whether labelling oneself through psych categories functions as a kind of defence against criticism.

So now whilst psychiatry may not do so in its former traditional institutional sense, is it that that area of thought is now taken up by lots of women to explain their feelings? Wielding cumbersome psychological concepts about psychic material that doesn’t warrant it.

NEW bonus episode 🫥🫨 We discuss the recurring type of woman who seems despondent, directionless, disoriented, and defensively avoidant about her listless misery. Is this due to psychiatry historically making women think something is wrong with them? patreon.com/posts/172611144?…

RedFem is back from summer hiatus with a NEW episode on a figure who shaped the second-wave. Academic and feminist philosopher Kate Phelan joins the discussion. Themes include the liberalisation of feminism, purity politics, and probable CIA funding. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

New episode of RedFem is out, I haven’t listened yet but I’m excited to! I used to subscribe to their patreon but alas couldn’t afford to keep it and I’m practically frothing at the mouth to listen to the previous two on there. This’ll have to do! 😌♥️ open.spotify.com/episode/73o…

open.spotify.com/episode/73o… Wait for the near-end chat about young women and their capacity for feminist solidarity!

So lovely to have these women back to listen to, plus the excellent input from Kate Phelan.

Plus, menstrual leave, hobosexuals, feminist revolution, porn as free speech, women becoming more radical as age, and Steinem’s CIA connections.

THE MAIN POD IS BACK!🎙️ NEW episode♀️ Gloria Steinem, a key figure of the feminist second-wave, died last month. We’re joined by Australian academic and feminist philosopher Kate Phelan to discuss Steinem's work and impact on the women’s movement. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

NEW episode 💅🏻 We discuss the curious liberal feminist backlash to the Sydney Sweeney nude sports betting advert. Have libfems suddenly rediscovered the concept of sexism and now oppose the objectification of women? patreon.com/posts/172050584?…

Why do they newly support women's sport in light of Sweeney stripping off? Plus, rightwing coded women like Sweeney, grievance politics slowly taking over all politics, Sabrina Carpenter, and the increase in internet scrutiny post pandemic and loss of the apolitical person online
