    Outlouders, enjoy this free taste of Mia in full flight on today's subscriber episode. Listen to the complete episode of Scurrilous Gossip - Karl Stefanovic, Melania Trump & Sydney Sweeney, oh my at 5pm today. Not a subscriber? This is where all that can change. Outlouders, gather 'round. Mia Freedman is back in the studio with Holly Wainwright and Em Vernem, with a few pieces of scurrilous gossip she’s dying to unpack. First up, the breakfast TV king himself. Karl Stefanovic is launching a podcast, and Mia has thoughts on what exactly this means. Plus, we need to talk about Sydney Sweeney’s new lingerie brand, Syrn. (It’s pronounced 'Siren'... apparently). We deep-dive into that viral Hollywood sign video and ask: Is this actually a new era of 'post-feminist' empowerment, or are we just being sold the same old story in better lighting? And, there’s a new documentary about Melania Trump. The team investigates the very curious reports of seat-filling incentives to make the film’s launch look like a hit. So, is anyone actually watching it, or is it all just "fake news"? Remember, this is just a little subs snackette. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.

    Outlouders, have a little listen to today's subscriber episode. Listen to the full episode of Celebrities Look Emaciated And I Don’t Know What To Say at 5pm today. Not a subscriber? Get on it. Mia’s back in charge of today’s subscriber episode - and she’s brought Amelia Lester into the studio to talk about something we’re technically not supposed to notice. We’re currently living through the ‘weight loss injections and plastic surgery’ era and frankly, things are getting complicated. In this candid, subscriber-only episode, Mia and Amelia deep dive into why so many people in Hollywood - and even some of our friend groups - are suddenly looking unrecognisable and just a little bit AI. In this episode, they unpack the alarming “thinspo” trend and also ask the question no one wants to answer: when did looking like a real human being become a radical act? It’s the conversation Mia’s been wanting to have for a long time, but one that feels increasingly like it’s off limits. It’s raw, slightly uncomfortable and exactly why you’re here. Remember, this is just a little sneak peak.The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm. We’re giving away a Your Reformer Pilates bed (worth $3,400). And the good news is — as a subscriber, you're already in the running to win.

    Romantasy, Feminism, and the War on Female Main Characters

    Book Talk for BookTok

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 29, 2026 67:34


    In this Thursday episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we bring an academic lens to bookish culture, genre fiction, and the conversations shaping romance and romantasy today. Our podcast blends literary analysis, cultural criticism, and emotional honesty. We treat romance, romantasy, and fanfiction as genres worthy of serious discussion, not just quick takes. This episode is part of our Subtext Society series, inspired by The Subtext Society Journal. The Subtext Society Journal is a collaborative publication dedicated to thoughtful essays on romance, romantasy, fan culture, and publishing ethics. We explore moral questions, genre evolution, power dynamics, and the real-world impact of stories, guided by values of literary rigor without gatekeeping, community over hierarchy, and ethics-first analysis. Today's discussion focuses on the article: “Romantasy: The next frontier of feminism, or where feminism goes to die?" This article explores romantasy as both a powerful feminist space and a revealing site of internalized misogyny, examining why female main characters in women-written fantasy are so often criticized as “too much” in every direction. It connects modern fandom discourse to long-standing cultural conditioning that encourages women to compete rather than support one another, and questions whether those critiques reflect genuine narrative flaws or unresolved discomfort with women claiming power, desire, and complexity. Ultimately, the piece argues that romantasy has the potential to become a training ground for a more thoughtful, generous feminism. One that challenges how we read, write, and talk about women.

    The Simple Truth

    1/29/26 - Jim sits down with author, philosopher, and scholar Dr. Carrie Gress to unpack her book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity from Sophia Institute Press, examining why modern feminist ideology—despite often appealing language about equality and empowerment—ultimately conflicts with the Christian understanding of the human person, vocation, marriage, and family.  Drawing from history, philosophy, theology, and cultural analysis, Dr. Gress traces the roots of feminism, explaining how it reshaped ideas of womanhood, motherhood, sexuality, and power, and reveals why attempts to create a “Catholic feminism” fall short by substituting autonomy and resentment for truth, sacrifice, and love. The conversation also explores how feminist assumptions have quietly influenced Church life, education, and pastoral practice, why the ideology has become so persuasive even among believers, and how Catholics can respond with clarity and charity while remaining faithful to authentic Church teaching on dignity, equality, and true freedom. Dr. Gress challenges viewers to think critically about the cultural narratives shaping society today and invites them to rediscover the beauty and coherence of the Catholic vision for men and women rooted in Christ and ordered toward genuine human flourishing.

    Rethinking Feminism and Gender Through Evolutionary Science with Marc Defant

    In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Professor Marc Defant from the University of South Florida. Marc is a renowned geology and geochemistry professor specializing in the study of volcanoes, the geochemistry of volcanic rocks, and mantle processes. With decades of experience researching volcanoes worldwide—including Russia—Marc has recently explored the intersection of evolutionary psychology and feminist studies. He is the author of the peer-reviewed paper, "Evolutionary Psychology and the Crisis of Empirical Rigor," which challenges mainstream academic views on social construction, feminism, and scientific rigor in sociocultural discourse. Jennifer and Marc dig into the controversial relationship between evolutionary psychology and modern feminist theories. Marc shares his perspective on how biological evolution shaped human social structures, including the origins of patriarchy, mate selection criteria, and gender dynamics both in ancestral and contemporary societies. They discuss the clash between scientific rigor and politically motivated ideologies within academic feminist studies, particularly around issues like social construction, beauty, health, and fat studies. The episode also explores societal trends like the impact of "safe at any size" movements, generational shifts in health and education, and Marc’s critique of wokeism and its ties to gender representation in professional fields. This conversation is packed with candid observations, scientific reasoning, and reflections on how political culture often overshadows empirical evidence in academia. "One thing a lot of women don't realize is back in a hunter gather society, you were either breastfeeding a baby, lactating, or having another child. They stayed pregnant until they couldn't have children anymore. So that's created a society that we have today where men are in leadership roles." ~Marc Defant This week on Political Contessa: The evolutionary psychology behind patriarchy and gender-based social roles Issues of empirical rigor in feminist studies and social construction theory How societal expectations about beauty and health intersect with biology Discussion of “safe at any size” and health implications for younger generations Contrast between male and female approaches to competition and leadership The impact of generational upbringing, career shifts, and family structures on women’s choices Wokeism, gender dominance in professional fields, and freedom of speech Insights on mate selection and resource investment across cultures Connect with Marc Defant: Website: https://www.marcdefant.com University of South Florida Faculty Profile: https://usf.academia.edu/MarcDefant ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marc-Defant Peer-reviewed paper: "Evolutionary Psychology and the Crisis of Empirical Rigor" (contact Marc for access) Resources Mentioned: Robert Wright’s "The Moral Animal" Helen Andrews’ essay “The Great Feminization” for Compact Magazine Corey Clark’s research on polling and gender differences in views on free speech Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

    Our culture and systems have failed many women who want to be mothers, not through malice, but through neglect, misalignment, and outdated priorities.In this episode, we explore how education, feminism, medicine, and career culture shaped a generation of women who were never truly prepared for motherhood. This is a nuanced, honest conversation about how our culture and systems have failed many women who want to be mothers.We want to say this clearly up front: this conversation reflects our lived experiences and what we see in our work. It is not meant to invalidate women who had supportive, empowering paths to motherhood, nor does it represent every experience across different socioeconomic or cultural backgrounds.What we explore here is a pattern. For decades, women were encouraged to prioritize education, career, and productivity, often with little to no preparation for health, fertility, or motherhood. Feminism brought women freedom, opportunity, and choice, and we honor that deeply. But like all cultural movements, there were unintended consequences that many women are only now grappling with.In this conversation, we discuss:• Why motherhood was treated as an afterthought rather than a life path• How feminism empowered women — and where systems failed to evolve alongside it• The lack of reproductive and health education for young women• How birth control often masked dysfunction instead of addressing root causes• Why so many women feel blindsided by fertility struggles in their 30s• The cost of prioritizing weddings, careers, and productivity over preparation for motherhood• Maternal burnout, postpartum strain, and the lack of systemic support• What a more integrative, honest, and compassionate approach could look likeThis is not about blame. It's about awareness because we can't change what we don't acknowledge. Our hope is that by having these conversations openly, we can support women now and create better systems for future generations.

    Synopsis:  Together, Laura and Donna consider expansive questions: how do we understand ourselves in an age of artificial intelligence? And how do we resist the pull of authoritarian “mono-thought” — the demand for certainty, sameness, and simple answers in a complex world? This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: “Thinking requires action and passion,” says feminist philosopher and scholar, Donna Haraway in this unique conversation. In her 1985 essay “A Cyborg Manifesto” and 2003 work, “The Companion Species Manifesto”, Haraway challenged patriarchal, capitalist, binary, species-ist ways of looking at the world. It's no surprise that people are looking to her work again now. Generative thinking, she tells Laura, requires “taking the risk to try a new pattern; to invent something that may very well fall apart in your collective hands but leaves threads to be picked up again.” In this episode, Haraway and Flanders sit down for an expansive conversation about what it means to be human in an age of AI and resisting what she calls authoritarian “mono-thought.” Plus, a commentary from Laura on staying in the present and “staying with the trouble.”“An individual is embedded deeply in worlds with other people, with other organisms, with living and non-living parts of the world. To be a self is to come to a thicker appreciation and accountability for the way we're embedded in the world and act in the world. That's what I mean by being a proper self.” - Donna HarawayGuest:  Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California Santa Cruz, History of Consciousness Department; Author, A Cyborg Manifesto, When Species Meet, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the ChthuluceneWatch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

    Stefan Molyneux digs into what he calls "Gene Wars," looking at how r and K selection strategies in reproduction shape human societies. He describes r-selected types as those that reproduce quickly with little effort put into raising the young, while K-selected ones focus on having fewer kids but investing more in them. Molyneux ties this to modern problems like abortion and spending habits, suggesting these strategies affect how people view duties to others and keeping systems steady.
