‘Seasoned feminist hag' Victoria Smith is sick to the back teeth of women being told to ‘just be kind'. This was catnip to our Mickey, who you'll already have heard wanging on about Victoria's 2023 book, Hags: The Demonisation of Middle-Aged Women, which asks why middle-aged women are treated with such active disdain and traces the hatred and fear of them back through history. To be clear, Victoria's latest book, Unkind: How ‘Be Kind' Entrenches Sexism, has no beef with actual kindness – in fact, she's a big fan – but instead looks at how three little words – “just be kind” – can cost women way too much. And how a baked potato brought perspective. Both of Victoria's books are available now, and you'll find her on X and Bluesky @glosswitch. Learn more about your ad choices.

Playwright and performer Sandra Tsing Loh returns to the podcast (after four years!) to discuss her surprise hit play Madwomen of the West, which featured a superstar cast including Caroline Aaron, Marilu Henner, Melanie Mayron, and JoBeth Williams. After the Los Angeles theater establishment deemed the show too woman-centric, Sandra mounted an independent production, which she eventually took to New York and London. She now has a new one-woman show — a 70-minute "You'll Never Eat Lunch In This Town Again”-style rant — about the “journey” of that production called I'll Burn That Bridge When I Get To It. I'll Burn That Bridge When I Get To It will be performed for just two nights at the Odyssey Theater in Los Angeles. November 16 and November 23. Info and tickets here. GUEST BIO Sandra Tsing Loh is the author of several books, including "The Madwoman in the Volvo: My Year of Raging Hormones," which was selected as one of the New York Times' 100 Most Notable Books. Her previous book, "Mother on Fire," was inspired by her hit solo show about Los Angeles public education. Her off-Broadway solo shows include "Aliens in America" and "Bad Sex With Bud Kemp." Her comic memoirs include The New York Times New and Noteworthy "Madwoman and the Roomba"; The New York Times 100 Notable Books "Madwoman in the Volvo"; "Mother on Fire"; "A Year in Van Nuys"; and "Depth Takes a Holiday." The Los Angeles Times named her 1998 novel "If You Lived Here, You'd Be Home By Now" a 100 Best Fiction Book. An Atlantic contributing editor, Loh has been heard on NPR's Morning Edition, PRI's Marketplace and This American Life. She currently hosts the LAist/NPR daily radio science minute “The Loh Down on Science.” Want to hear the whole conversation? Upgrade your subscription here. HOUSEKEEPING

Think acne's just a teenage problem? Think again! Many women in their 30s, 40s, and even older still deal with breakouts. While we often hear about 'hormonal' acne showing up along the jawline for adults, in reality, adult acne can pop up all over the face! And guess what? Hormones are usually behind most acne, no matter how old you are.  If you're struggling with stubborn acne, seeing a dermatologist can provide personalized solutions to help you feel better about your skin! Tune in to this week's podcast with Dr. Barbieri to learn about hormonal acne in midlife women, effective treatment options, and the safety and side effects of isotretinoin. Key Takeaways: - Acne is a common condition that affects people of all ages, not just teenagers. - Oral antibiotics are often overprescribed for acne, leading to antibiotic resistance and other health issues. - Hormones play a significant role in acne development, and hormonal treatments like spironolactone and combined oral contraceptives can be effective. - Clascoterone, a topical anti-androgen, is a new treatment option for acne that can be used in both men and women. - Over-the-counter regimens with topical retinoids and benzoyl peroxide can be effective for mild acne. - Isotretinoin is a highly effective treatment for severe acne, but it should be used under close medical supervision due to potential side effects. - Pregnancy monitoring is crucial while on isotretinoin due to the risk of birth defects. It is important to follow the iPledge program guidelines. - Reducing sugar intake and considering dietary changes, such as avoiding whey protein, may help improve acne. Supplements like vitamin D, vitamin B5, and zinc can also be beneficial. In this Episode: (6:38) What is acne?

This is Part Two of a three-part discussion. Why are middle-aged women these days subject to so much rage and hatred – frequently from people who see themselves as kind and ‘on the right side of history'? What explains the popularity of the Karen meme, which references a stereotypically privileged white woman whom everyone feels entitled to loathe? Why does this age-old misogyny feel so very now? As writer Victoria Smith approached middle age she made her peace with her sagging neckline and having to cope with ageing parents. But the disdain and vitriol she experienced as a woman in mid-life came as a shock. In her acclaimed book Hags: The Demonisation of Middle-Aged Women she traces the prejudice that has been directed towards older women down the ages and explores the prevalence of witch hunts in recent years. Smith joined us on stage at The Tabernacle in London in March 2024, where she was joined by fellow writers Hadley Freeman and Sonia Sodha. Together they explored why women who have the temerity to exist beyond the age at which they are conventionally deemed desirable to men are seen as superfluous to society; and they looked for solutions which can benefit all women – whether they are hags or hags-in-waiting.

Back in season 4, I spoke to Annie Macmanus just as she was about to make the big leap from mega-DJ to... something entirely new. It's fascinating to see how much of what we talked about has since come to pass.My guest this week is a business woman, broadcaster, curator, tastemaker and DJ. She headlines festivals, hosts one of BBC Radio 1's flagship shows, was Europe's biggest female DJ and has her own hit podcast Changes with Annie Macmanus. And now, as if that wasn't e-bloody-nough (bc let's not forget the two kids), Annie has written her first novel, Mother Mother. Oh and she's cool. And nice. (In the best possible way. Not in the I'm too lazy to think of a proper adjective kind of way.)Over the next 45 minutes, Annie talks about the unexpected impact of turning 40, growing up with her fans and why middle aged women are a force to be reckoned with. Although this was recorded before she resigned from her job hosting Radio 1's flagship show, she's candid about saying goodbye to DJing and how it feels to start again professionally, why she's a control-fan and how she learnt to be comfortable in her own skin. Plus she gives me a lesson in radical no-ness!You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including the book that accompanies this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too by Sam Baker and Mother Mother by Annie Macmanus.The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Emily Sandford.

Why are middle-aged women these days subject to so much rage and hatred? In her new book, "Hags: The Demonisation of Middle-Aged Women," author Victoria Smith confronts the disdain and vitriol she encountered as a woman entering mid-life. and she dissects the ageism and misogyny that have historically plagued older women, shedding light on its resurgence in recent years. In conversation with Hadley Freeman from The Sunday Times, they examine the societal dismissal of women who dare to exist beyond the confines of youth and desirability, rendering them seemingly superfluous.

Victoria Smith is a regular contributor to The Critic, writing on women's issues, parenting, and mental health. Her work has also appeared in The New Statesman, The Independent, and UnHerd. Her book Hags looks at the demonisation of middle-aged women in politics and popular culture.In this episode, Stella and Sasha chat with Victoria about the depths of body hatred and body loathing. Victoria shares her perceptions about experiences described in the context of gender dysphoria, seeming incredibly relatable to her experience of anorexia and disordered eating when she was younger. The conversation exposes the distress of the burden of acclimating to the maturing female form at a young age manifesting as dysphoric perceptions of reality — a coping mechanism for discomfort.Another fascinating concept explored in the conversation is how with age, females continue to experience confusion and discomfort with their changing bodies and find themselves in a constant state of reconciling not just their own experiences in relation to their bodies, but society's reactions to the changes in both their physical presentation as well as their attitudes, expressions, and contributions to society.Victoria speaks charmingly about the sentiments behind her recently published book, Hags: The Demonisation of Middle-Aged Women; and how society has always fostered a certain lack of respect for the wisdom and discernment women of a certain age contribute to culture and the symbolism behind it. There's a sort of generational war between young women and older women that has always seemingly existed and yet the journey of experiencing womanhood has a way of bridging the gap between the two.Links:Follow Victoria Smith on Twitter — @glosswitchBook by Victoria Smith: Hags: The Demonisation of Middle-Aged Women -- https://geni.us/HagsBook by Jane Shilling: The Stranger in the Mirror: A Memoir of Middle Age -- https://www.amazon.com/Stranger-Mirror-Memoir-Middle-Shilling/dp/0701181001Book by Rachel Hewitt: In Her Nature: How Women Break Boundaries in the Great Outdoors -- https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/439400/in-her-nature-by-hewitt-rachel/9781784742898If you liked this episode, more episodes you might find interesting:Episode 2 — Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria -- https://gender-a-wider-lens.captivate.fm/episode/rapid-onset-gender-dysphoriaEpisode 4 — Why Do People Seek A New Identity? -- https://gender-a-wider-lens.captivate.fm/episode/why-do-people-seek-a-new-identityEpisode 12 — Identity vs. Role Confusion in Adolescence -- https://gender-a-wider-lens.captivate.fm/episode/12-identity-vs-role-confusion-in-adolescencePlease visit http://www.widerlenspod.com to explore more content, access additional resources, or join our listener community.To learn more about our sponsors, visit:

For decades, women over 30 have been largely invisible on the big and small screen, relegated to playing mothers of male actors who are almost their same age   Past studies show that women's careers peak at 30, while men's peak over 15 years later. According to a 2020 study by the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film, men experience only a 3 percent drop in representation for characters over 40, compared to 13 percent for women.

For decades, women over 30 have been largely invisible on the big and small screen, relegated to playing mothers of male actors who are almost their same age   Past studies show that women's careers peak at 30, while men's peak over 15 years later. According to a 2020 study by the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film, men experience only a 3 percent drop in representation for characters over 40, compared to 13 percent for women. But that's starting to change thanks in part to streaming platforms like Netflix and HBO Max.

And now, as if that wasn't e-bloody-nough (bc let's not forget the two kids), Annie Macmanus has written her first novel, Mother Mother. Oh and she's cool. And nice. (In the best possible way. Not in the I'm too lazy to think of a proper adjective kind of way.)Over the next 45 minutes, Annie talks about the unexpected impact of turning 40, growing up with her fans and why middle aged women are a force to be reckoned with. Although this was recorded before she resigned from her job hosting Radio 1's flagship show, she's candid about saying goodbye to DJing and how it feels to start again professionally, why she's a control-fan and how she learnt to be comfortable in her own skin. Plus she gives me a lesson in radical no-ness!You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including the book that accompanies this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too by Sam Baker and Mother Mother by Annie MacManus.The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Emily Sandford.

Strength training is extremely important!*Do what is attainable and sustainable for you!2 - Get your steps in each day! 3 - Assess your hormone and thyroid levels - find a great functional medicine doctor and work together. 4 - Decrease processed foods and intake of sugar.5 - Increase water intake — aim for half your body weight in ounces of water each day. 6 - Sleep! 7 - Reduce stress. Leptin resistance — do you have it? Are you gaining weight by just looking at unhealthy food? When you lose weight do you still seem flabby? Do you have high triglycerides? Are you constantly hungry? You might be leptin resistant. Leptin is a hormone and it's job is to tell your body to store fat or burn it. What is your body doing? If you have leptin resistance your brain doesn't think enough food is coming in and turns on hunger signals and everything you eat goes into fat storage instead of used for energy. Have your leptin levels checked by a functional medicine doctor if you are curious! If you think you have leptin resistance focus on lifestyle modifications today to help kickstart a healthier lifestyle! Incorporate an anti-inflammatory diet full of vegetables and fruits, reducing stress, be more mindful, drink more water, balance hormones, get enough good quality sleep and exercise!

The danger of the reductive eating disorder image is never more apparent when discussing EDs in midlife and beyond. Because an aging body is increasingly more inflexible when facing physical damage, the risks associated with an ED are heightened. Dangers include disruption of heart function, diminishing cognitive ability, and osteoporosis (among others). All risks may be precluded or worsened by disordered eating and often overshadow the incidence of EDs, making detection and diagnosis more difficult.    Bibliography (show notes): “Causes of Middle-Aged Women Eating Disorders.” Eating Disorder Hope, 30 June 2017, www.eatingdisorderhope.com/treatment-for-eating-disorders/special-issues/older-women/causes.

If this is a pop culture touchstone for you, then you will certainly get a kick out of this conversation! The Two Jess(es) sit down to talk with the creator of Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell, and ask: Is there STILL SEX IN THE CITY? As women like (or unlike!) Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Miranda approach their glorious middle age, Candace, in her typically hilarious style, shares with us her experiences and findings, which she has chronicled in her book: Is There Still Sex In the City? The three cover subjects like 'cubbing' not to be confused with 'cougaring,' the Mona Lisa Treatment, and what it feels like to be dating or not dating, after you have spent many decades dedicated to marriage, children, career, and now find yourself single. Many uncomfortable moments as these three ladies contemplate the fact that EVERYONE is having less sex...but why? Meet Candace:Candace Bushnell is the critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling author of Sex and the City, Lipstick Jungle, The Carrie Diaries, One Fifth Avenue, Trading Up, Four Blondes, Summer and the City, and Killing Monica. Sex and the City, published in 1996, was the basis for the HBO hit series and two subsequent blockbuster movies.

With more than 30 years of experience, she and her team help individuals develop a positive relationship with food and work tirelessly to treat and prevent eating disorders and disordered eating in adults, adolescents, children, and families. Erica and I talk about weight stigma and healing from disordered eating.  We recognize how our bodies change constantly throughout our lives and that embracing these changes can be difficult in our diet-crazed world.  Erica tells me how she works with her clients to embrace the change vs. try and control the changes our bodies are naturally going through.  We discuss how diets are damaging and recognize that the medical world focuses on weight loss as an indicator of health.  In reality, focusing on the scale sets us up for failure. We should put our focus and drive into behavior change.  I had such a great time speaking with Erica who has worked in this field for over 30 years! She has a wealth of experience and so much wisdom to share in the world of eating disorders and disordered eating. You don't want to miss listening to what Erica has to say! Erica’s practice offers a wide variety of services including individual and group counseling sessions, cooking programs, in-person and online intuitive eating and nutrition workshops.
