Ask a Feminist is back after a long hiatus with an episode about the current state of public feminism! Signs editor Suzanna Walters is joined by Marcie Bianco and Andi Zeisler. Andi is the cofounder of Bitch Media and the author of the book We Were Feminists Once: From Riot Grrl to CoverGirl, and Marcie is the author of Breaking Free: The Lie of Equality and the Feminist Fight for Freedom. Their experiences writing and editing for feminist publics and building feminist platforms give them unique insights into the difficulties faced by those trying to reach or create feminist publics today. What happens when feminism becomes part of a “personal brand”? What are the pitfalls of anointing a few individuals as the public representatives of a movement as broad and diverse as feminism? Why do there seem to be so many feminist public intellectuals and so few feminist spaces?

In today's episode, HeHe sits down with Allison Yarrow to discuss her new book, 'Birth Control: The Insidious Power of Men Over Motherhood.' What happens when hospital culture is rooted in tradition and not evidence? How does it impact patient care when incentives are set up to reward providers for doing expensive surgeries and seeing as many patients as possible, but theres no incentive for supporting unmedicated, biological labor and meeting patients where they're at in this journey? What happens when a system that is designed to be FOR PROFIT is faced with the decision profits or people— and, they can only choose one? Join us to discuss how the hospital system was designed to produce specific results and how that may affect your labor experience!    Join The Birth Lounge!    Connect with Ali: https://allisonyarrow.com/ Order Birth Control: The Insidious Power of Men Over Motherhood     Bio: Allison Yarrow is an award-winning journalist, speaker, and author of 90s Bitch: Media, Culture, and the Failed Promise of Gender Equality (Harper Perennial, 2018), finalist for the Los Angeles Press Club book award, and Birth Control: The Insidious Power of Men Over Motherhood (Hachette/Seal Press, July 2023).

Journalist Sarah Sunshine Manning discusses the politics of indigenous feminism - both inside today's Women's movement, and as a longer historical force in resistance to settler colonialism and environmental destruction - and calls on social movements to recognize, respect and listen to the voices of Native American women. Sarah wrote the article No Indigenous Women, No Women's Movement for Truthdig. Writer and Bitch Media co-founder Andi Zeisler explores 50 years of tension between feminism and capitalism in popular culture, and explains how mass media has adapted and amplified the language of empowerment, but in a depoliticized form in service of selling products, and why she's hopeful that a young generation of connected girls and women can reclaim feminism's radical, libratory potential. Andi is author of We Were Feminists Once: From Riot Grrrl to CoverGirl, the Buying and Selling of a Political Movement from PublicAffairs.

Allison Yarrow is an award-winning journalist, speaker, and author of Birth Control: The Insidious Power of Men Over Motherhood (Hachette/Seal Press, July 2023).  She is also the author of 90s Bitch: Media, Culture, and the Failed Promise of Gender Equality (Harper Perennial, 2018). She has written about health, politics, and gender for many publications including the New York Times, the Washington Post, Vox, Insider, USA Today, Time, and Newsweek. She was a national magazine award finalist, a TED resident, an Aspen Ideas Festival fellow, and a grantee of the International Women's Media Foundation. She produced the award-winning Vice News documentary “Misconception,” and gave a TED talk called “What to Expect Post-Expecting.”  Dr. Kate and Allison talk about how modern medicine should make pregnancy and childbirth safer for all. But in Allison's book Birth Control, she reveals how women are controlled, traumatized, injured, and even killed because of the traditionalist practices of medical professionals and hospitals. They talk about the dangerous misogyny that permeates pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood in our hospitals. Kate and Allison also talk about how doctors were trained by midwives and then stole control of birth from them in the 19th century. Allison touches on specific birthing practices that are steamrolling women by a male-dominated medical establishment that has everyone convinced that birthing bodies are inherently flawed and that every pregnancy is a crisis that it alone can “solve.” Misogyny and racism, not scientific evidence and support, shape the overwhelming majority of America's four million annual births. Drawing on extensive reporting, expert interviews, an original survey of 1,300 mothers, and her own personal experiences, Yarrow documents in her book how modern maternal health care is insidiously, purposefully designed to take power from women to the detriment of their physical and mental health—not just during labor, but for years after. She shares this in her conversation with Dr. Kate and discusses better ways this can be handled They also talk about a new post-partum depression drug and so much more.

Why did I want to talk with Erin Khar the Author of Strung Out: One Last Hit & Other Lies That Nearly Killed Me? Erin is greatly respected for her work as a journalist, author, addiction recovery advocate, and educator.    Erin and I discuss perspectives on Harm Reduction, as well as the lack of government funding and policies to combat the alarming rate of overdose deaths in the United States.

Don't mind us. We just want a short but official intro episode that we can share across streaming platforms. We are Marsha's Plate, a progressive podcast hosted by three trans people of color. We launched in October of 2017 in response to the 2016 election. We didn't like how the media was covering the trans narrative by focusing just on the bathroom bills popping up all across the country. We wanted to create a show, named after the pioneer Black trans baddie Marsha P. Johnson, that shared the more pressing disparities of the trans community but also the victories and joys of our lives. Our hosts are millennials that represent the feminine and masculine sides of the trans experience. We have been featured on Spotify, ABC, The Root, Stanford, Bitch Media, Aljazeera, World Pride NYC, and at SXSW twice. Our creator and producer Diamond Stylz is a 25-year vet trans activist. She is the executive director of Black Trans Women Inc and a board member of Transfaith. Mia Mix is a Houston socialite and sex worker. LJ aka Jonathan is a black genderqueer trans guy from Milwaukee living in Seattle.  
 We discuss pop-culture current events, sex, relationship, and gender every week. Diamond brings a wide range of experience and formal education and history. Mia Mix makes it hot by bringing humor and Southern belle spirit to every conversation. LJ aka Jonathan brings the masculine, genderqueer trans guy next door perspective. We know that everybody is not invited to the cookout and that this is for us by us.  
 People can use our show as a resource to learn passively with force your trans friend to always have to do the labor of educating you. It is so easy and non-invasive. You tune in, just listen, and learn.BOOM!!! That's easy. We introduce our audience to the news with deeper trans insights and seasoned or emerging trans community leaders throughout the country. This is important work because it archives the current trans movement, spotlights activists doing amazing work, and highlights the news that impacts trans people's lives around the globe which is a narrative ignored by mainstream news outlets.  #marshasplate #girlslikeus #boyslikeus #transgender #podcast #podsincolor #podernfamily #transisbeautiful #houston #lgbt #transmen #transwomen #blackfeminism #trans101 #trans #blacktranswomen #blacktransmen #houstonpride #indiepodcast #blacktranslivesmatter #lgbtqia #lgbtq #genderidentity #pride #blackgirlmagic #blackboyjoy #podcast

Most of us would love to have a perfect memory, but we often fall far short of this aspiration. Who hasn't forgotten someone's name right after being introduced, or failed to remember where you left your car in the parking lot? Our memories are rarely as reliable as we'd like them to be. And more so, our memories – even some of our most formative ones – can alter over time. Like a game of telephone, each time we return to a memory it can change ever so slightly until the story in our mind — while it may reflect a personal truth — is suddenly far from the facts of the lived reality. Memory is ephemeral, ever-shifting, and foundational to the ways we understand our worlds and ourselves. In this episode, we explore the phenomena of memory with two outstanding guests -- Emilly Prado and an Anonymous Contributor -- discussing and exploring the influence of patriarchy along the way. Emilly Giselle Prado (she/her) is a writer, DJ, and educator living in Portland, Oregon with roots in the San Francisco Bay Area and Michoacán, Mexico. As an award-winning multimedia journalist, Emilly spent half a decade independently reporting on a wide range of topics, most often centered on amplifying the voices and experiences of people from historically marginalized communities. Her writing and photographs have been published widely, appearing in more than 30 publications including NPR, Marie Claire, Bitch Media, Eater, Oxygen, The Oregonian, Remezcla, and Travel Oregon. Emilly is the author of Funeral for Flaca, a memoir-in-essays shortlisted for the Pacific Northwest Book Award and called, “Utterly vulnerable, bold, and unique,” by Ms. Magazine. She is also the author of Examining Assimilation, a youth non-fiction title at the intersections of identity and U.S. history. Emilly is a Tin House and Las Dos Brujas Workshop alumna, Blackburn Fellow and MFA Candidate at Randolph College, and a co-founder of Portland in Color. She moonlights as DJ Mami Miami with Noche Libre, the Latinx DJ collective she co-founded in 2017.

What a treat! In this episode, author and recovering bluebottle Cory McCarthy joined us to talk about research holes from his latest novel Man O'War, a coming-of-age YA about a trans swimmer growing up near Sea Planet, a marine life theme park in small-town Ohio. I fully expected us to mostly talk about sea creatures, and then we had a heart-to-heart about the nuances of writing queer YA, parallels between growing up trans and animals in captivity, and who coming out is really for (*cough dinosaurs cough*). But don't worry—there are still sea creature facts! Cory gave us tidbits about the inherent plurality of Portuguese man o' war, upsetting shark sex, and joyful penguin interactions, and more. Bonus game: count the times Cory and I laugh semi-maniacally about queer kidlit writer stuff, or the amount of times I say “that's so real.” Remember, kids: it's not that it gets better; it's that straight people get less important. SHOW NOTES: The New York Times article “Boys Don't Cry' 20 Years Later: For Trans Men, a Divisive Legacy” gives an overview of the many complex responses to this movie. I personally like the piece “Fighting to Thrive: Reflecting on Boys Don't Cry 20 Years Later” by William Horn on Bitch Media, which reminds us that the project of the movie is educating straight, cis people, and was not necessarily made for queer and trans people. Here's a quote from Horn: “Boys Don't Cry is powerful, but it's traumatizing. The movie is intentionally designed that way: It pulls you into Brandon's story so that you feel his fear and his pain. Good movies do that, and Boys Don't Cry remains important viewing for a cis audience. For people like me, it's a fear and pain that we already innately know.” The other trans YA novels I mentioned (published before 2011) were Parrotfish by Ellen Wittlinger and Luna by Julie Anne Peters. The two documentaries Cory mentioned are Blackfish and My Octopus Teacher. I asked Cory where he got his sea creature facts. He said many of them were from the science tomes of his youth, but he is also a lifelong fan of National Geographic for inspiring random research holes to go topple down into. [pic of preorder perk] From “Jean-Michel Basquiat's Enduring Fame: Why the '80s Art Star Remains Relevant Now” by Tessa Soloman in ARTNews: Jean-Michel Basquiat was a Neo-Expressionist artist who was famous in the 1980s, before dying of a heroin overdose in 1988 at 27 years old. He started as a graffiti artist, spray-painting walls around SoHo and the East Village with his friend Al Diaz, under the pseudonym SAMO, short for “same old shit.” He blew up after displaying work at a “New York/New Wave” show at P.S. 1, when viewers called him the new Rauschenberg.” His iconic works include Dustheads (1982), a seven-foot-tall canvas featuring two vibrantly colored, chaotic figures against a black background, and the sculptural painting Ten Punching Bags, a collaboration with Andy Warhol. The article Leah sent me was also from ARTNews, titled “The FBI Seized 25 Contested Basquiat Paintings from the Orlando Museum of Art.” I can't really summarize it because it seems to deal with issues of authentication and theft specific to the high art world. But I'm glad it lead me to learn a bit about Basquiat!

Conspiracy theorists are everywhere and unfortunately, just because you believe something can't happen before your talents may lack in a certain area that you do not believe it to do true- there in lines the unnecessary duo of Ableism & Insecurities.

To say a lot has changed in the media landscape since the late 1990s would be an understatement. That's when a small feminist zine began publishing in San Francisco. Soon it became a nonprofit, publishing the magazine “Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture.” In 2007, Bitch Media relocated to Portland, a move cofounder Andi Zeisler said landed it “at the right place at the right time.” The organization expanded online and started producing podcasts and other digital content. But with the pandemic and the pressures of making an independent media nonprofit financially sustainable, Zeisler says the decision to close was simply one that had to be made. She joins us to talk about the last 25 years as a feminist media organization and her take on the role of independent publications today.

Aditi Mayer, a sustainable fashion and labor rights activist, reminds us that "a return to Indigenous wisdom is the first step towards decolonization" (Green Dreamer podcast, Episode 253). We get a sense of what this "return to Indigenous wisdom" looks like, as public health researcher Abaki Beck shares her journey of decolonization in this episode. A member of the Blackfeet and Red River Metis, Beck calls us to recognize Native knowledge as legitimate and to share power (not just space) with Native people. In so doing, she offers a key tenant of decolonization: that the solutions to systemic oppression are found in communities most harmed by those systems.  Put another way, Native communities don't hold the problems; they hold the solutions.Resources:Abaki Beck's Website (learn more about her here!)"Hey Nicki Minaj, Pocahontas was a rape survivor, not a sex symbol," (Bitch Media's top read story in 2017)As We Have Always Done by Leanne Simpson

In this episode, Johanna and Nathan interview one of our favorite critical sports journalists,  Britni de la Cretaz, about their tireless work spotlighting trans and non-binary athletes and critiquing sporting discrimination. They have written for a phenomenal array of outlets, including the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, Vogue, the Washington Post, Teen Vogue, and many more, and have a co-authored book with Lyndsey D'Arcangelo coming out in November 2021: HAIL MARY: The Rise and Fall of the National Women's Football League. Britni begins by sharing how they got into sports journalism. They pinpoint why mainstream sports media remains loathe to hire and include critical analyses of sport like their work and why hustle culture absolutely is exhausting for them and other freelance journalists. We transition to Britni's Vice analysis in “Why Can't WNBA Broadcasters get the Players' Names Right?” Britni walks us through various tools available to broadcasters, racism, as well as the role played by the decentralization of the league's coverage on the mispronunciation of Black, Brown and international basketball players in the WNBA. The work that broadcasters' pronunciation forces onto the players is of crucial importance. Our discussion of Britni's superb work on nonbinary athletes such as Layshia Clarendon and others in Sports Illustrated last summer continues this theme by highlighting how the questions that Clarendon and other nonbinary players have to ask themselves just to keep playing constitutes additional labor that we often forget about. The WNBA's collective efforts to support her in an inclusive announcement about him provide ideas for how leagues can support nonbinary athletes' humanity first and foremost. The conversation explores what can make sport unsafe for trans and nonbinary people (such as cishet white feminists who argue for segregating cis athletes from trans and nonbinary ones), and to what extent sport can be reformed or recreated to make it safe for them. Britni also takes us through their Bitch Media piece about the NBA's hiring and preference for male coaches with known assault and/or predatory qualities like Jason Kidd and Chauncey Billups over Becky Hammond. The possibilities and limits of representation for women – namely white and white-passing women - in sport organizations, broadcasting, and teams continue to prevent altruistic inclusion, as they analyzed in ‘progress for whom?' Britni's work explores the intersection of sports, gender, culture, and queerness. Their website is here where you can (and should!) subscribe to Britni's newsletter.

Disney's grown-up movie division Touchstone Pictures redeveloped J.F. Lawton's dark dramatic screenplay about the dangers of the L.A. sex trade (originally titled 3000) into a frothy fairy tale about a young and somewhat innocent sex worker Vivian (Julia Roberts) hired by handsome vulture capitalist Edward (Richard Gere) to be his week-long companion for $3000 while he's in town for a big business acquisition. Despite the arrangement, they fall in love. Along the way we discuss how co-star Jason Alexander's career might have gone if he hadn't been cast on Seinfeld right after this film, Garry Marshall casting Héctor Elizondo in every movie he directed, and how this vaguely problematic but lightweight movie has aged better than you would assume. Plus a general chat about our respective countries' racist statues, anti-lockdown weirdos and Reply Guys!

When I started exploring the kinkier side of my sex life, I focused on what it meant to be more dominant, but it also helped me get in touch with my submissive side.
