Podcasts about second wave feminism

The BFI's screenings of JEANNE DIELMAN, 23 COMMERCE QUAY, 1080 BRUXELLES were all sold out. Luckily, we were both able to see it on a big screen elsewhere. In this podcast we discuss why this is a film to see on a big screen, how it remains a radical film, how the first scene sets a context, how Jeanne Dielman lives in a pimped world where the very same money she gets from men she gives to men. We discuss how the bare bones of the story could have been done as melodrama or noir and the significance of rendering it as ‘slow cinema', including all that's been left out of cinema previously (the various kinds of women's work). We admire the three-day structure as well as the formal rigour and precision which creates Dielman's world and Ackerman's point-of-view on it; how the film puts into play elements that are never rendered explicit (is the son gay?). We also discuss Delphine Seyrig, the muse insoumise, in the light of her art-house and activist careers (the program for the Queen Sofia exhibition on her work and career is in the blogpost); the film itself in the context of Second Wave Feminism; how the film remains radical in that it is simultaneously a depiction of what Tate brothers bros think women should be, a refutation of those ideas, and women's frustration/ explosion/ revenge in response. A film that is almost half a century old and feels continuously relevant

Having it All, All, All is a new group exhibition at Gus Fisher Gallery composed of nine international artists whose work has been pivotal in the reimagination of female subjectivity in art. The exhibition is showing select video and performance art by the likes of Ana Mendieta (Cuba/USA), Yoko Ono (Japan/USA), Howardena Pindell (USA), Pipilotti Rist (Switzerland), Martha Rosler (USA), Christa Schadt (Canada), Janice Tanaka (USA), Hannah Wilke (USA), and Nil Yalter (Turkey/France).  Spanning the 1960s to 1990s, Having it All, All, All delves into the activism and identity politics associated with Second Wave Feminism and its critics. Sofia spoke to curator of contemporary art at Gus Fisher Gallery, Lisa Beauchamp, about the exhibition, her curation process, and the impact of these works on feminist politics as seen through a contemporary perspective.

Join us in this enlightening episode as we sit down with Leanna Wolfe, an anthropologist and clinical sexologist, to discuss her compelling memoir, 177 Lovers and Counting: My Life as a Sex Researcher. Wolfe takes us on a fascinating journey through her decades-long career, exploring how different cultures around the world view sex, relationships, and societal norms.From the love marriages of India to the complex dynamics of polygamy in Africa, Wolfe shares surprising insights that challenge common stereotypes and offer a deeper understanding of human sexuality. We also delve into the transformative changes she witnessed during the sexual revolution and second wave feminism in the San Francisco Bay Area, and how these movements continue to influence attitudes toward sex and relationships today.The discussion touches on a range of topics, including the impact of pornography, the rise of non-traditional relationship structures like polyamory, and the potential dangers of AI partners in an increasingly digital world. Wolfe also reflects on the challenges women face in understanding their own bodies and achieving sexual satisfaction, all while navigating societal expectations.Whether you're interested in anthropology, sex research, or just curious about how different cultures approach intimacy, this episode offers a rich and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human. Tune in for a conversation that's as informative as it is engaging, and stay until the end for a surprising twist as we discuss favorite family recipes and the lessons learned from our very first jobs.Find Leanna Wolfe: https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781538174661/177-Lovers-and-Counting-My-Life-as-a-Sex-Researcher and http://drleannawolfe.com/Send us a Text Message.Support the Show.PageChewing.comPAGECHEWING: Comics & Manga PodcastFilm Chewing PodcastSpeculative Speculations PodcastBuy me a coffeeLinktreeJoin Riverside.fm

In this episode, Andrea continues on the topic of Feminism - this time second wave. Not to be upstaged, Kayse has a few anecdotes from her personal files. The TL;DR is that we made some progress but it's ok if you think things kind of suck.

In the 1970s, lesbian and feminist organizations popped up in cities across the nation. Minneapolis and Saint Paul were no exception. Here in the Twin Cities, the Amazon Feminist Book Store, Lesbian Resource Center, and Lesbian Feminist Organizing Committee all provided space and community for newly out lesbians and queer women.At the same time, a small network of transgender women started their own type of organizing, one that relied more on mutual support than a physical meeting place.But these groups weren't mutually exclusive. In the late 1970s, a trans woman named Sissy Potter tried to join a lesbian feminist group called A Woman's Coffee House. She's probably not the only one, either. On the season 8 finale of MinneCulture from producer Kira Schukar, Sissy's letter sparks a conversation about feminism, gender, and transfeminism in the Twin Cities and beyond.Content warning: This podcast contains a transphobic slur and comments.MinneCulture is hosted by John Gebretatose and edited by Julie Censullo.

In episode seven of Faculty Spotlight, Mark and Lauren sit down to chat with two BISR faculty whose interests, scholarly and otherwise, dovetail in fascinating ways—Sophie Lewis, writer, critic, and leading scholar of family abolition and the politics of reproduction; and Paige Sweet, writer, practicing psychoanalyst, and founder of the experimental writing project Infinite Text Collective. Following Sophie's personal reflections on her early experiences of the injustices in-built into middle-class heteropatriarchal institutions like the family and formal schooling (“nothing is apolitical”), the four of them discuss: what previously overlooked insights one might still unearth from so-called second wave feminists like Silvia Federici (is the witch a figure of incipient queerness?); how fecund and fungible was the time of transition from feudalism to capitalism, not least for thinking with gender; the “unruly undertows” of popular and “low” entertainment (Chicken Run as exemplary Marxist-feminist cinema!); autotheory, autofiction, autoanalysis, and the affordances of writing from the self; why children's liberation is to everyone's benefit; and the erstwhile pin-up career of Barnacle the cat—with much else in between and besides. 

In solidarity with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike (the latter of which Paul and Corey are both members), Paul and Corey have decided to change things up: For the duration of the strike, they will: 1) cover only films about labor unions/strikes/solidarity/etc.; 2) not cover any new releases (that includes Corey's Pass or Plays); and 3) not recommend any streaming services for where you can find these films. Following Corey's choice, Harlan County, USA (1976), Paul decided for a fun one. 9 to 5 (1980). Starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton, and featuring the Oscar-nominated title song, the film was a colossal success.  There is a lot to discuss - from the stars' careers to Second-Wave Feminism to the War on Drugs. Enjoy!

A scandal in chess has reignited an old argument that sports shouldn't be segregated by gender – an idea lefty intellectuals think will solve the question about trans participation in sports. Matt stamps it as a bad take because it's based on a falsehood, that women aren't allowed to compete against men in chess – they are! The idea, Matt points out, requires a belief that biology is“a social construct.” Laura agrees it is bad take, but she sees it as more insidious. Intellectuals, she argues, are threatening the existence of women's sports behind a sheen of progressivism. No elite woman athlete – cis or trans – is calling for the end of segregated sports. The question is who gets to play women's sports, not whether they should exist. Suggested reads:  What Lia Thomas Could Mean for Women's Elite Sports, Michael Powell, The New York TimesSeparating Sports by Sex Doesn't Make Sense, Maggie Mertens, The AtlanticTransgender sports bans raise an awkward question: Why categorize healthcare and sports by sex at all?, Heath Fogg Davis, The Washington Post [Monkey Cage]Ann Friedman's writing: https://www.annfriedman.com/writingSend us a bad take to review at badtakes@grid.news.For a transcript of an episode of Bad Takes, please email transcripts@grid.news.

In the first episode of season 7 of the Missing Witches podcast, Amy tells the story of W.I.T.C.H. Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell - a group that sprung up from the Women's Liberation movement in 1968 New York, on Halloween, to hex sexism, capitalism and racism. A group who's legacy is still visible today. Then Risa joins in to chat about the bizarre and the holy, the infinite modes of taking action, hiding in plain sight, and together we dance in the notion of being our own ancestors. Delight and liberation for all.

On today's episode we have writer, critic, and lecturer at Harvard University, Maggie Doherty. Maggie's writing has appeared in several places including The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Yale Review, and The Nation. She's also the author of the book The Equivalents: A Story of Art, Female Friendship, and Liberation in the 1960s, which was published by Penguin Random House in 2020, and reviewed to critical acclaim by several writers, including novelist Margaret Atwood. Doherty published a piece in the Yale Review on June 24th that poses important questions about the way Americans tell abortion stories. By comparing present-day narratives, with historical records from the middle of the 20th century, she questions whether Americans today are too apologetic. We spoke in early July, and used this piece as a starting point for our conversation. She alternated between the present and the past to illuminate gaping issues in the way social justice for women's rights is shaping in the public sphere. This is not dissimilar from the subject of her book, The Equivalents which focuses on The Radcliffe Institute for Independent Study in the 60s. Doherty tracks the development of 5 women who were part of the institute, as well as the simultaneous emergence of Second Wave Feminism, in which the institute, and the art being created in it, played an integral part. June 24th Piece in The Yale Review - "The Abortion Stories We Tell" Maggie Doherty's Website The Equivalents Writers Mentioned The Five 'Equivalents' - Anne Sexton - Maxine Kumin - Tillie Olsen - Barbara Swan - Marianna Pineda Other Writers - Betty Friedan - Jacques Derrida Maggie's Recommendations - Cormac McCarthy - Kathy Acker - Mating by Norman Rush - Love's Work by Gillian Rose

Welcome to part one of our "Waves" episodes everyone! This is month one of season one here at Grabbing Back, THE place for all things feminist theory and good chat. We're chatting to the amazing Gillian Love about ‘the waves of feminism'; when were they, what were they, did they even exist and what should we, as modern feminists learn or critique about them. Content warning: discussions touched on homophobia and transphobia - without graphic details. References and recommendations This is a list of some of the sources mentioned in this episode, plus other recommended texts on the theme of first and second wave feminism. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and we recommend them not as a full-throated support of all of their contents, but as representations of particular feminist positions. First wave feminism Mary Wollestonecraft. 1792. A Vindication of the Rights of Women – The ‘proto-feminist' text Sojourner Truth. 1851. ‘Ain't I A Woman?' – Speech at the 1851 Akron Women's Convention – speaking back to white-centric views of womanhood and feminism and arguing for abolition of slavery. Second wave feminism Betty Friedan. 1963. The Feminine Mystique. – Argues that women are not simply fulfilled by the role of housewife and mother. Shulamith Firestone. 1970. The Dialectic of Sex. – A socialist feminist take on sex, reproduction, and gender relations. Content note: its sections on race are widely critiqued and reflect arguably racist ideology. Andrea Dworkin. 1974. Woman Hating. – A radical feminist text on the representation of women, including in pornography. Andrea Dworkin. 1984. Intercourse. – A radical feminist text on sex, heterosexual dynamics, and violence. Catherine McKinnon. 1989. Toward a Feminist Theory of the State – An examination of the basis of gender inequality through the lens of political and legal theory. Combahee River Collective Statement. 1977 – A manifesto for Black Feminism, a movement running concurrently to, but somewhat separate from, Second Wave Feminism. Bell Hooks. 1981. Ain't I A Woman? Black Women and Feminism. – An influential Black Feminist text. Kimberlé Crenshaw. 1989. Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence against Women of Color. Stanford Law Review, Vol. 43, No. 6, pp. 1241-1299 – Highly influential article credited with coining the term ‘intersectionality.' Important within Black feminism, this concept would go on to be central to the third wave too.

Season Three! Introducing the idea of feminist "waves" - where they came from and why they are problematic.

Political Theorist Ross Carroll takes the reader through Enlightenment conversations about the use of ridicule and laughter in politics and political engagement in his new book, Uncivil Mirth: Ridicule in Enlightenment Britain (Princeton UP, 2021) explores, as a framework, two schools of thought on the place of ridicule in political engagement, Thomas Hobbes and those who took their approach to understanding human nature from Hobbes, and the Third Earl of Shaftsbury, and those who followed his arguments. Carroll dives into these two approaches to the use of ridicule, unpacking not only the ideas around how ridicule can be used in politics, but also how it might be managed appropriately, noting the dichotomous approach to ridicule as part of the Age of Enlightenment and Reason. The Hobbesian school was concerned with the corrosive impact of the use of ridicule since it can communicate contempt. The Shaftsbury school thought that ridicule could be used in an emancipatory way, as another means of engaging with political opponents while also undercutting the political claims of those opponents. Carroll traces these debates and those involved in them, while also providing a fascinating “case study” of the use of ridicule by Scottish Abolitionists. This particular chapter, focusing on the work of these polemicists, explores their use of ridicule “to expose defenders of African slavery as not merely mistaken but contemptable, and their arguments as absurd.” (Carroll, Uncivil Mirth, p. 152) This was an ambitious political project that took ridicule as the weapon or tool to attack the Atlantic slave trade and the immorality of slavery. Uncivil Mirth concludes with Mary Wollstonecraft's commentary on the use of ridicule in terms of political education, and her own use of it in deconstructing sentimental teachings to women. There is a tension at the heart of the argument about ridicule and politics, namely that it can and often does make the political personal and the personal political. Thus, long before Second Wave Feminism would coin the adage that the “personal is political,” the British and Scottish Enlightenment thinkers and political activists were wrestling with how to manage the personal and the political, especially through the use of ridicule and laughter in politics. Lilly J. Goren is professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-editor of the award winning book, Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics (University Press of Kentucky, 2012), as well as co-editor of Mad Men and Politics: Nostalgia and the Remaking of Modern America (Bloomsbury Academic, 2015).

The continuation of my series of messages concerning natural law and your God-given rights. Topics discussed. What is the real reason why women are drinking as much as men- not for pleasure- but to cope with life? How an article from NPR- of all places- shatters the illusion of equality between the sexes. Nearly half of female soldiers are still failing the Army Combat Fitness Test despite changes meant to assist them in passing. Does this mean men and women are not equal in abilities? The proper order of the nuclear family as God intended it to be. Based and red-pilled, 18th century theologian Matthew Henry's commentary. Simone de Beauvoir, Second-Wave Feminism, and the war on boys, men, fathers, and fatherhood. Wise words from Larry Elder concerning the welfare state, and the war on fatherhood. Sobering statistics on the consequences of “no-fault divorce laws” upon the family and society. The big deception of the “dead-beat dad” trope. John Locke on the wisdom of the Great Creator, and His natural order of the family. When and how will the children be returned to their fathers? Ephesians 5:22-33, and the proper roles of husbands and wives. Terrifyingly prophetic commentary by Adam Clarke on the moral depravity of society and depopulation. Important advice to all those who are married or wish to be married. Much, much, more!

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.A small bird will drop frozen from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

Next in our series on feminism we discuss the women's liberation movement in the United States. The struggle for women to be seen as something other than wives and homemakers continued well into the 80's.

“The Stepford Wives” (1975) is a satirical horror film about spunky urban wives getting replaced by their husbands with submissive, ornamental robots. Chris and Cristi Moody come on to talk about the unease captured by the movie in a time of gender roles tumult, 1950s conformity, Second Wave Feminism, and parallels to “Get Out.”

2020 was a weird AF year, friends. Simultaneously the longest year of our lives but also it went past in the blink of an eye. This isn't really a recap episode though, but we ARE talking about the highs and lows we've experienced as geek girls. Amongst the highest of the highs, Amanda talks about her Harry Potter experience at the midnight release of HP 6 in Edinburgh. So many bittersweet memories of that night... that's unfortunately now a bit tainted by everything that's happened within the HP fandom this year. Sigh. We also have a bit of a general JK rant, talk about how we just can't anymore with her or our beloved franchise, and really get into the lows of being a Harry Potter fan in 2020. But, we also know we can't keep giving her the power to take things away from us. So now is the moment to embrace OTHER creators. As much as it would have pained us at one point or another to say it... Harry Potter is not the be-all and end-all of fantasy books out there. There are so many more incredible stories out there that deserve our attention. Of COURSE, we have to throw in some love to our fave fandom, The Realm of the Elderings by Robin Hobb. So much diversity and feminism in this story. Amanda says that EVERYONE on this entire planet needs to spend a portion of their lives investing in this story. For the good of it ALL. Okay? Okay. We also give a general ode to representation and why we need it. It's SO important to have representation and diversity in media as it helps to normalise so many different aspects of life. Aspects that ARE normal but so many people just don't get them for some reason?? And we talk about passing on the torch to the next generation. We're doing a lot of good work for women in geek culture, but it really is about what we talked with Prof. Taliep. So excited for the future!! Finally we touch on why it's okay to disagree and need to find a footing on where to have difficult conversations. Related to this, we get into why it's so fucking HARD sometimes to be a professional feminist. What have some of YOUR geeky highs and lows been? Let us know! Check Out Geek Herring!

We have recently seen millions of people taking to the streets to protest social, political and environmental injustices. Even a global pandemic couldn’t stop protesters across the world from showing their support to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Rather than organizing solely around belief systems, programmatic manifestos, or party affiliation, identity political formations typically aim to secure the political freedom of a specific constituency marginalized within its larger context. Members of that constituency assert or reclaim ways of understanding their distinctiveness that challenge dominant characterizations, with the goal of greater self-determination. Learn more.What does identitarian mean?(00:10:00 or p. 5 in the transcript)The term identitarian often refers to supporters or advocates of the political interests of a particular racial, ethnic, or national group, typically one composed of Europeans or white people. Source. Click here to learn more about far-right Identitarian movements in Europe. What are pronatalist policies?(00:10:00 or p. 6 in the transcript)Pronatalist policies aim at encouraging a high fertility rate. Examples can include government support of a higher birthrate but also criminalization of abortions. Learn more.What is a meritocracy? (00:12:00 or p. 7 in the transcript)Meritocracy represents an ideal vision in which power and privilege would be allocated by individual merit, not by social origins. Click here to learn more about the controversies surrounding this ideal.What is Second Wave Feminism(00:12:30 or p. 7 in the transcript)Second wave feminism was a period of feminist activity and thought that began in the early 1960s and lasted roughly two decades. It began in the U.S. and quickly spread across the Western world. This wave unfolded in the context of the anti-war and civil rights movements. Learn more.What is neotraditionalism?(00:12:30 or p. 7 in the transcript)The concept of neotraditionalism breaks with notions of deeply rooted cultural essences or characterizations of static antimodern tradition. Such an approach treats seemingly historical institutions, practices, and values as subject to ongoing social and political contestation. Neotraditions serve political goals and are the subject of political contestation over the definitions of historical memory and “authentic” culture and can be useful tools for the consolidation of group identity. Source.What is cannibal capitalism?(00:17:30 or p. 10 in the transcript)Nancy Fraser uses the term cannibal capitalism to describe a self-destructive nature of capitalism, which she does not just define as an economy but as an institutionalized social order. She argues that while unwaged care and reproductive work as well as inputs from non-human nature are necessary background conditions for capitalism, capitalism “eats them up”, thus destabilizing its very own foundations of existence.

Freedom's Fault Lines: Tales of Race and Gender explores the stories of race (black, brown, red and white) in America and women's quest for full citizenship. From Jamestown 1619 to the Naturalization Act of 1790 limiting citizenship to “any…free white person” to The Trail of Tears to the Civil War; from The Lost Cause, Jim Crow, the Klu Klux Klan and the Civil Rights Movement of the middle-twentieth century to Steve Bannon and Breitbart News to Black Lives Matter and the Washington Redskins & Cleveland Indians changing their names; from Abigail Adams request that the founders “remember the ladies” to Seneca Falls to the 19th Amendment and Second Wave Feminism and Hilary Clinton winning the presidential popular vote by almost three million votes – it's all here: Freedom's Faultlines: Stories of Race and Genderas Americans continually struggled with one another about who was excluded, who was included in “We the People…”

Geekily yours, Amanda & Monika

Geek Girl in the News looks at the awesome or not so awesome news that will make you go either: "YAY" or "OMG I can't believe that." The latest and greatest geek girl news from September 2020 covers the sad passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Trump's awful nomination to the Supreme Court, the NFL making HERstory, Mike Morhaime's new company: Dreamhaven, WandaVision, American Girl's latest doll, and saying so long to the Nintendo 3DS. While Monika's off celebrating 10 years with her Weirdo, Thom from Three Extra Lives joins us to talk about this month's news that matters. We start this month's episode by recognising and celebrating the incomparable Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who sadly passed away mid September. This is a tragic loss of a woman who has done more for women's rights than anyone else, ever. Her death is a blow to a nation in crisis, but we honour her the only way we know how. May her memory be a revolution. Even in death, the Notorious RBG is making waves! She is not only the first woman, but the first Jewish person, to be lain in State. This is an honoured given to at least 30 men since the practice began in the 1800s. Justice Ginsburg - thank you for your service. Thank you for your power. May you rest in power. We will fight in your memory. And the fight's just getting started. President Donald Trump has already nominated the SCOTUS replacement. Amy Coney Barrett is pretty well set up to take RBG's place, a move that, if successful, will have a devastating impact on America, women, and human rights across the country. Coney Barrett is anti-women, anti-lgbt rights, anti-abortion, pro-gun, pro-life (whatever that means to these Conservatives), and - oh. She's basically a member of a cult that has a position called HANDMAIDEN. Not only is this nomination straight up evil (according to Amanda's mum - "that woman's got evil in her eyes" - so we know it's true), it's unprecented... based on a precedent the Republican party set about 7 months before the end of Obama's presidential run. Hello pot? Kettle calling. Oh, and let's not forget your Geek Herring Call to Action: VOTE. Vote like your damn life depends on it!!! But let's move on to some happier stories! The NFL made HERstory in September by having three female officials on the field at the same time. Both the Washington Football Team and the Cleveland Browns had female coaches and there was a female ref on the field. This is a fantastic and long overdue - a big excitement for the future of American Football! This month also sees former Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime's announcement of his new game development company, Dreamhaven. Um, excuse me while we fangirl all over the place, here. The announcement brings with it some BIG questions about the future of game development and we are HERE for it! We also talk about the teaser trailer released for Marvel's upcoming WandaVision. DAAAAAAAMN this looks good. No set release date that we can see, but holy hell it feels good to talk about some MCU news again! Getting into nostalgic toys era now. Can you EVEN with the new American Girl doll!? Courtney is an 80's gamer girl through and fucking THROUGH. She comes with a Pac-Man arcade machine that actually works, all the neon you would ever want, and a Care Bears nightie. Her story describes her as the best gamer in the arcade (natch) and she decides to change how women are portrayed in game by learning to code. Oh - and profits from Courtney's sale go to Girls Who Code. You in? Obvs. Finally, we're saying so long, farewell to the Nintendo 3DS.

Serial killers and murder clowns? Nah. The real fear is sexual assault and living with trauma. We're joined by New York Times bestselling novelist, Madeleine Roux, who's redefining the horror genre one fear at a time. About Madeleine Roux Madeleine Roux is the New York Times Bestselling author of the ASYLUM series. She received her BA in Creative Writing and Acting from Beloit College in 2008. In the spring of 2009, Madeleine completed an Honors Term at Beloit College, proposing, writing, and presenting a full-length historical fiction novel. Shortly after, she began the experimental fiction blog Allison Hewitt Is Trapped. Allison Hewitt Is Trapped quickly spread throughout the blogosphere, bringing a unique serial fiction experience to readers. Madeleine's most recent release is Shadows Rising, a World of Warcraft novel preceding the latest expansion, Shadowlands. We're so excited to have Madeleine with us on this episode! It is literally full of the most incredible knowledge bombs (kinda hate that phrase but we're going with it) possible. Madeleine shares what it's like being a horror writer in such a male-dominated craft. In fact, Madeleine is making damn waves in her industry and topping bestseller's lists. She's literally redefining the horror genre. What is fear? Actually, though. Ask yourself what are you truly afraid of? Madeleine doesn't write safe horror. Her books aren't abstract. Madeleine's horror can actually happen: sexual assault, consent, privilege, abusive relationships, and gaslighting. You know, real world things that women go through every single day. This is way scarier than the mainstream horror of a serial killer at a summer camp. We also talk about how art and writing is subjective. It all comes down to how you perceive the works. Will Madeleine ever tell you what she wants you to experience? Probably not, unless it's plot specific! Something Madeleine believes is so necessary is putting real world scenarios in fiction writing. That's why she writes about such hard truths. It's how she makes her writing so honest, real, and raw. Madeleine's not here for your bullshit theory that politics don't belong in art: There is ALWAYS politics in art and anyone who tries to tell you different is lying. Any creator will put their own values and views into their work. We also talk about our former love of Harry Potter and what it's like experiencing the downfall of a favourite author in real time. It's even harder to discover JK Rowling is a total shithead in real time as a culture than knowing that, for example, Lovecraft is a dick. It feels like an extra betrayal, extra hurt, extra sore. Madeleine also gets a full rant in about how this author started the train of deciding plot points and other things about your books after interpretation. It's shitty and it's lazy and we are NOT having it up in here! Some of the other truths coming out this episode are about fanfiction (we all love a good fanfic - and some of us write them!), the BEST advice for new writers (read all different authors and genres, READ ROMANCE, and writing book recommendations), and how you can be mobile as a female writer in such a damn misogynistic industry.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard, or at least heard OF, the new Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion song, WAP. Woah, geeks. What a dang bop this one is! But of course, with every song about women's sexual empowerment, middle aged white men like to shake their finger of disapproval. -BO-RING- This time, Ben Shapiro weighs in on why wet ass pussys are, well, a medical problem. ...Scuse me, say what? We feel pretty damn sorry for your wife, Ben. So let's unpack this, k? Rap music is no stranger to sexually explicit subjects and lyrics. Ludacris even has a song dedicated to all the places he wants to bang his lady friends! -insert Amanda rapping here- Is there an uproar over songs like this? Nah. Why? They dudes. This episode is dedicated to sex. To WAP. To women owning and celebrating our sexuality and freaking enjoyment of sex. To the powerful women in mainstream music talking about doing the deed, whether alone or with someone fun. To Cardi B, to Megan Thee Stallion, to Pink, to Rhiannah, to Missy Elliot, to Nicki Minaj, to all those women who've come before and will come in the future (pun absolutely intended) to shout out that women enjoying sex is not shameful!

Combining a love of art and geekiness, Molly O'Riley creates a live of beauty, passion, and expression. This episode is the ultimate wake-up call you need to be you, own your weirdness, and honestly just create something every damn day. Molly is the founder of The Darling Revolution.

Rosie Peacock is an exceptional positive psychologist and knows everything about achieving long-lasting happiness. Rosie shares the strategies you can implement TODAY to become a more positive person and the secret to happiness. We also dive into second wave feminism and if that has had an impact on how women measure their happiness. We talk about motherhood, marriage, societal expectations and if we would all genuinely be happier living a more minimalistic lifestyle. 

We all know the world is kind of an intense place right now. This episoded started with the intention of our geeky highs and lows... but very swiftly descended into a conversation about life, the Universe, and everything. We had a lot on our chests! Okay, so we start out chattinga bout our geek highs and lows. Amandan's high was definitely when she was in Edinburgh for the midnight release of Harry Potter and Half Blood Prince. Despite everything going on with the series' author, that evil can't take our happy memories away from us! We chatted about how we think representation should be done in video games and other forms of pop culture. It's all about making our differences part of the story and totally normalising it rather than any kind of bullshit and pointing it out and making it an othering statement. That's one reason we loved The Last of Us Part 2! (Don't worry, no spoilers!) People were so upset about some of the diversity in this game, but like, why??? What's with this mob? Is the mob the majority or just the loudest assholes on the block. Something that keeps coming up for Monika is the concept of duality - where something (or even someone) is both good and bad. It's about finding that balance and trying to go from there. Fresh into our book of the month, White Fragility, we talk about what the “White frame” is and what other -isms navigate in a certain frame (sexism, ableism etc.). Something that a lot of people don't get (hellooooo incels, etc) is that just because we haven’t experienced it doesn’t mean that it's not valid. Repeat that again for the people in the back: JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED SOMETHING YOURSELF DOESN'T MAKE SOMEONE ELSE'S EXPERIENCE LESS VALID. It’s about the person: the valid point is a person’s emotion. We need to accept people for their own experiences. And further from this - and something that we all need to get better at doing, is accepting and understanding that people have a past that we (and they) may or may not like. There might be decisions and mistakes from someone's past that makes everyone a bit uncomfortable. People need to be allowed to make mistakes and make mistakes, reflect on their life and grow, learn and change from there. Yes, we need to hold people accountable to be better versions of themselves, but not at the expense of holding back their growth. There is beauty in failure and beauty in being wrong. You’re not a bad person because you did something bad. You are not a bad person because you made one poor decision. You are allowed to grow and learn as a person. Your entire experiences up until this point have led you to where you are now. If there's stuff from your past you wish didn't happen - try to think of it that without it, you wouldn't know that part about life. We also understand that not everyone can reflect about their life. We also totally know what it's like to care so damn much all the time. About everything. Ever. All the time. It never, ever stops. It’s hard to care so much all the time and it hurts too. Our conclusion: Caring is hard. But we won't ever stop. On the note of caring so much - this is why you need to fill your own cup first!! If you tear the house down and you’re not able to rebuild the house then what’s the point. When you look after yourself first and make sure you're okay, you'll be better equipped to serve others.

This episode Renee explores Second Wave Feminism which leads her to a very important question - is gender equality possible? Since God has made men and women different, has the feminist narrative actually done women more harm than good?

We had the immense pleasure of chatting with Professor Taliep about growing up in the 50s and getting involved in the feminist movement of the 60s and 70s. This episode is epic and we hope you enjoy it! Taliep is co-host of The Halfhill Report, a fictional World of Warcraft podcast. She started gaming later in life and credits her love of Warcraft to her co-host, Toshmifune. Taliep is a fully fledged and super proud geek - and she's also one of the most wonderful women we've had the chance to chat with! Why poodles are the best dogs ever - Moni and Taliep definitely talk about this for like, 5 whole minutes. And it's the conversation you didn't know you needed in your life. Taliep chats with us about what it life was like growing up in the 1950s. Like most women at the time, she was married young and had her first baby before she turned 19. Such a different culture to the one we grew up in!! But Taliep didn't stay in her marriage. She talks about how The Feminist Mystique, a novel by Betty Friedan, opened her up to the possibilities of more freedom for women. Yes - you guessed it! Professor Taliep went full on into the feminist movement, marching, creating change, and even burning her bras in the 60s and 70s! What an absolute hero of a role model, right!? Some of the big topics we cover in this episode are whether race or gender was the original oppression (what do you think!?), that women's relationships with themselves and with men are not changing and what we can do about this, the importance of role models and actually talking about feminism and progress, and how we NEED to plant seeds for future growth. Taliep is passionate about how technology has fuelled the feminist movement. In fact, this was her focus as a sociology professor. She shares what it was like to teach about feminism to generations of college students by leading through through a maze to come to the best conclusions themselves. One thing we all agree on is how amazing and progressive the dudes in Dragon Powered Studio are. We're so lucky to have such wonderful men in our community who inspire us - and hopefully other men out there. We all know it's not just up to women to fuel the feminist movement - it's men, too, who need to take up the mantle of change. This was a SUPER quotable episode. Guess because Professor Taliep is so good at what she does! So make sure you listen to this whole ep, because it is literal fire, and check out these rockin' quotes, too: Quotes "We really had to discover ourselves before we reached out to other people." "Its the kids who are growing up now that will make the changes we need." "I think there's a lot of men out there who just don't realise what women's lives are like." "We changed our own lives, but we also changed the conversations in society. We changed the framework." "We were finding ourselves, you're finding each other." "If we were taking care of the planet the way we should be taking care of the planet, then I am 100% optimistic about the future." "Have faith, have patience, don't give up." "I learned I didn't need a man to take care of me. I could do it myself."

On this episode, we start off with some Genre Hunting - Hong Kong Kung Fu Films.   Isaac's Picks: The One-Armed Swordsman (1967) & The Fearless Hyena (1979) Aaron's Pick: The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978) Feature Presentation - Wanda (1970) Barbara Loden's one and only feature film as a director (and actor and screenwriter and a little of everything).   Coming Attractions - on the next episode, we'll be discussing Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) as well as the Marvel machine.

The opening speeches and presentations from Workers' Liberty forum, "Fifty years of women's liberation": discussing the gains women have made over the last fifty years and the case for socialist feminism. More online meetings at: www.workersliberty.org/c19-online Jill: 00:10 Kelly: 29:10 Why socialist feminism?: https://workersliberty.org/why-soc-fem Women's Fightback #24: https://workersliberty.org/workers-liberty-magazine/latest-issue/publications/womens-fightback/womens-fightback-24-march-2020 One woman has a good idea, she shares it, many people laugh, others smile politely, as two women decide to make it happen. So the first National Women’s Liberation Conference in the UK takes place in Oxford, in 1970. Initially to discuss women’s history, the conference, unknowingly, was about to make a significant contribution to the subject. More than three times the expected size, 600 women came together from around the UK. Sheila Rowbotham (mother of the good idea) said it was at that moment ‘a movement could be said to exist’. The conference focused less on women’s history, largely because so little had been written up at that point, and instead focused more on the position and experience of women in 1970. It voted to adopt four demands: Equal pay; Equal education and opportunity; 24 hour nurseries and; Free contraception and abortion on demand. The Women’s Liberation Movement of the 1970s gave voice, confidence and strength to millions of women. It was an organised expression of a greater period known as Second Wave Feminism.

Joe has finished Reba and moved on to some other TGIF type happy show to distract from the terror outside. The boys discuss MRS AMERICA on HULU and get a little sidetracked on Second Wave Feminism and the image buffing we seem to like to give conservative figures even when they were factually awful.

Epsiode 139 - what is second wave feminism?

Next month sees the fiftieth anniversary of the first Women’s Liberation conference at Ruskin College, Oxford. The event produced four key demands for equal pay, equal education and job opportunities, free contraception and abortion on demand, and 24-hour nurseries – and it is widely seen as a defining moment in the development of Second Wave Feminism. Jenni discusses its significance and legacy with the organiser of the 1970 meeting, Sally Alexander and with the historian Selina Todd. In parts of of Uganda, men are pressuring their wives into breastfeeding them before their babies. New research has explored why and how men are doing this, and how the practice may be coercive. We’re joined by a researcher on the project, Dr Rowena Merritt, and BBC reporter in Kampala, Patricia Oyella. And, how do we break damaging relationship patterns and what does research tell us about what makes relationships strong and healthy? Jenni is joined by Penny Mansfield, co-director of the relationships charity One Plus One and Simone Bose who works for Relate. Presenter: Jenni Murray Producer: Ruth Watts

Esther Newton talks with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ about her book “My Butch Career A Memoir” that addresses her gender identity and exploration during a particularly intense time of homophobic persecution in the twentieth century. Newton’s story is compelling, disarming and at times carnal as she struggles to write, teach and find love. From being molested as a child to her failed attempts to live a “normal” straight life in high school and college she became an influential figure in the LGBTQ history movement and a powerful reminder of just how recently it has been possible to be an openly queer academic. With humor and grace she describes her introduction to middle-class lesbian life and her love affairs including one with a well-known abstract painter and another with a French academic she encountered in Mexico and traveled with throughout France and Switzerland. Newton's narrative ends in her forties when she begins to achieve personal and scholarly stability in the company of the first politicized generation of out lesbian and gay scholars with whom she helped create gender and sexuality studies. We talked to Esther about her inspiration for writing “My Butch Career A Memoir” and give us her spin on our LGBTQ issues. Esther Newton is a founder of and leading scholar in LGBTQ studies. She received her BA at the University of Michigan in history before starting graduate work in anthropology at the University of Chicago. In 1968 her courageous PhD dissertation entitled “The Drag Queens: A Study in Urban Anthropology” examined the experiences, social interactions and culture of drag queens of mostly gay men that was later published under the title “Mother Camp” in 1972. Her second book “Cherry Grove, Fire Island: Sixty Years in America's First Gay and Lesbian Town” was published in 1993. Newton was active in Second Wave Feminism, Gay Liberation and the Lesbian/Feminist movements. Her work has been translated into French, Spanish, Hebrew, Polish and Slovak. Currently Newton is the subject of a documentary of her life story and contributing to a book of photography with acclaimed photographer Eva Weiss.For More Info: esther-newton.com LISTEN: 500+ LGBTQ Chats @OUTTAKE VOICES

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. Joining Tim this time is journalist Emma Burnell, who's going to the polls with her hazy memories of The Royal Potwasher, Melody Radio, Channel 4's presentation of Accidental Death Of An Anarchist, A Woman In Her Own Right by Anne Dixon, The Lords Of Midnight and Herman's Head. Along the way we'll be finding out what happens when you continually ask a radio station that doesn't have Ghostbusters to play Ghostbusters, what BBC Test Card F has to tell us about Second Wave Feminism, what Channel 4's 'Red Triangle' meant to adolescent boys and girls respectively, and why we're all sick of the sight of The Utarg Of Utarg.

On the TFT Podcast, we listen to and discuss No Doubt’s 1995 commercial breakthrough, “Tragic Kingdom.” Episode 275: It’s Third-Wave Ska but Second-Wave Feminism originally appeared on Overthinking It, the site subjecting the popular culture to a level of scrutiny it probably doesn't deserve.

We open the show with Bobbi Martin’s “For the Love of Him.” All the music played is from the 1970 Billboard Top 100, extending the discussion from last week’s show on the political power of music.

Many people have probably heard of Betty Friedan, Bela Abzug, Gloria Steinem, and Andrea Dworkin, all stars of Second Wave Feminism. They were also all Jewish (by heritage if not faith). As Melissa R. Klapper shows in her new book Ballots, Babies, and Banners of Peace: American Jewish Women's Activism, 1890-1940 (New York University Press, 2013), this was no accident. Freidan et al. inherited a rich tradition Jewish women's activism in the U.S. These women did not burn their bras (it's not clear that any feminists did, actually), but they did fight for the vote, for birth control, and for peace. In this interview, Melissa explains why, how, and to what extent they succeeded. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
