This week on the Tough Girl Podcast, we welcome Emma Wilkinson—a freelance health journalist, ultra runner, mother of three, and co-author of the empowering book Ultra Women: The Trailblazers Defying Sexism in Sport. Emma's journey into ultra running didn't begin until her 40s, but once she discovered the joy of going long and slow, there was no turning back. In this honest and motivating conversation, Emma shares how she went from half marathons and road running to self-created 100K adventures in the mountains of Snowdonia. Alongside fellow runner and friend Lily Canter, she set out to research and write Ultra Women, a book that celebrates female endurance athletes and dives into the science, stories, and social constructs around women in ultra sport. Emma talks openly about what inspired the book, how she balanced full-time work, parenting, and running while writing it, and what she learned about the unique strengths women bring to endurance challenges—especially around fatigue resistance, pain management, and mental toughness. If you've ever doubted your capabilities, struggled with self-identifying as a “runner,” or wondered if your body was made for ultras—this episode is for you. Emma's message is simple and powerful: don't put limits on yourself—just give it a go. New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)!

Brenda J. and Karen B. sit down with Dr. Andrew J. Bauman, a licensed mental health counselor and founder of the Christian Counseling Center: For Sexual Health and Trauma, to discuss his book Safe Church: How to Guard Against Sexism and Abuse in Christian Communities. In this episode, Andrew shares part of his own story and what led him to write Safe Church. He talks about how the church has failed women, why leaders must begin listening to women, and how sexism and abuse in Christian communities deeply harm both women and men. Together, they explore how Jesus views women, examine Scriptures that are often taken out of context, and agree that we all must speak up and have a voice in confronting these issues. https;//andrewjbauman.com https://hangingontohope.org

This week on the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Lily Canter—an ultra runner, women's running coach, journalist, and passionate advocate for gender equality in sport. As co-author of the groundbreaking book Ultra Women, Lily is helping to challenge outdated narratives and spotlight the women redefining endurance running. Lily didn't grow up considering herself sporty, but after joining a triathlon club in her 30s, she discovered a love for running that quickly evolved into a passion for ultras. What began as a spontaneous 30-mile run turned into a deeper journey into the ultra world—culminating in a 250km multi-day race across Tanzania and a growing commitment to empowering more women through education, coaching, and research. In this episode, Lily opens up about the gaps she saw in female-specific training information, how she and co-author Emma Wilkinson tackled the research for their book, and why visibility, representation, and equity matter—on the trails and in the media. From coaching to kit, sports bras to science, Lily shares what still needs to change and how she's pushing those boundaries herself. Whether you're curious about tackling your first ultra or passionate about equity in endurance sports, this episode offers practical insight and powerful inspiration.

Jay is taking an honest account of Paul and some of the critiques of the writings that are attributed to him. The hierarchy (Ephesians 5:22 for example) that was set up, by people, waters down the message of equality that is the foundation of Christianity. This only serves to divide us. Rather than negotiating with the Bible, it makes more sense to look deeper into these teachings, who might have actually written these words and the context in which they were written.As always, we appreciate your comments, your support and this beautiful group of people at Revolution.

Seth and Marc dust off the ol' classic If You Wanna Be Happy as made famous by Jimmy Soul. Somehow, it manages to simultaneously make "pretty" and "ugly" women feel terrible in one fell swoop and, at the same time, make marriage sound like a worthless endeavor. Impressive!

We're kicking off our first-ever book report episode—and yes, we're calling it that on purpose. Because books have always been part of our whole life. I'm joined by my favorite reading partner: my husband, Matt. Together, we dive into stories that make us laugh, think, and ugly-cry in public. We talk about what we're reading (Margot's Got Money Troubles and Atmosphere, spoiler-free, promise). We also chat about how books shape our worldview, challenge our biases, and sometimes leave us sobbing on a treadmill—or doing laundry while quietly falling apart.

A troubling lawsuit highlights a church's alleged coercion and abuse protection, unpacking how religious institutions, acting as counselors, can demand victims stay in abusive relationships. This discussion explores their disregard for mandatory reporting laws and legal regulations, exposing the dangers when dogma overrides personal autonomy and human well-being. It reveals how such practices can lead to severe psychological harm, especially for children, and calls for secular principles to prevail where vulnerable individuals are concerned.News Source: Woman Sues John MacArthur's Church By Hemant Mehta for The Friendly Atheist July 14, 2025

Around the world, women and girls of African Descent continue to face the double burden of racism and sexism, often navigating systemic barriers that hinder their development and violate their rights, according to the UN reproductive health agency, UNFPA.Last year, the UN General Assembly voted to recognise 25 July as the International Day for Women and Girls of African Descent as they continue to face multiple and overlapping forms of discrimination, manifesting in higher rates of poverty, barriers to education, limited access to quality healthcare, and underrepresentation in decision-making.UNFPA's “Leave No One Behind" commitment focuses on dismantling systemic barriers and ensuring equal access to rights, services, and health outcomes for all women and girls.UN News's Emma Trager-Lewis sat down with Patricia DaSilva, UNFPA Senior Programme Adviser and Global Coordinator for “Leave No One Behind” to discuss how the agency is working to uplift women and girls across the African diaspora.

This week, writer and activist Laura Bates joins Ellen and Alona to discuss her latest book The New Age of Sexism. Best known for founding the Everyday Sexism project in 2012, Laura has spent more than a decade documenting the realities of gender-based discrimination. In her new book, she turns her attention to the digital world—where artificial intelligence is giving rise to disturbing new forms of misogyny. Laura explains how technologies like deepfakes and AI chatbots are being weaponised against women, what her experiences of raising awareness in schools have taught her about how parents and teachers can better protect children, and why governments and tech companies are failing to act. Plus, Ellen and Alona discuss this week's “banger” or “dud”. This episode contains material that some listeners may find upsetting. ‘The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny' is out now. Hosted on Acast.

My guest today is Jyotsna Singh, Professor Emerita of English at Michigan State University. She has written numerous books including Colonial Narratives/Cultural Dialogues: “Discovery” of India in the Language of Colonialism (Routledge), and The Weyward Sisters: Shakespeare and Feminist Politics (Blackwell), which is co-authored with Dympna Callaghan and Lorraine Helms. She has also edited A Companion to the Global Renaissance: Literature and Culture in the Era of Expansion, 1500-1700 (Wiley-Blackwell), which has gone through two editions. She was among a handful of early scholars who illuminated Shakespeare's works within non-western, non-canonical contexts. One such example is her early essay about Shakespeare in India, “Different Shakespeares,” originally published in Theatre Journal in 1989, and then expanded on and reprinted in Colonial Narratives/Cultural Dialogues. Shakespeare and Postcolonial Theory (Bloomsbury, 2019) tells the story of the academic study of the cultural legacy of European colonialism, showing how the literature of former colonial powers represented and often distorted colonial history and how, in turn, colonized peoples articulated and reclaimed their identity and history by interrogating European culture and history. Singh's book shows how our reading of Shakespeare's plays such as ‘The Tempest,' ‘Hamlet,' and ‘Othello' has been forever changed by theater practitioners and scholars alike, while making a a persuasive case that postcoloniality continues to have a unique, still-unfolding relevance on how we read. In part, Singh's book also memorializes the struggle of scholars for legitimacy within a sometimes-hostile field. Author of the article on The Tempest mentioned at around 35:40 is as follows: Leininger, Lorie Jerrell. "The Miranda trap: Sexism and racism in Shakespeare's The Tempest." The Tempest. Routledge, 2013. 223-230 (first published in 1980). Learn more about your ad choices.

This report looks at public perceptions of discrimination and sexism across key areas of life, but because there is much to unpack, this episode is divided into two parts.Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the UWLP, is joined by Dr. April Townsend, one of the co-authors of the report and a UWLP research fellow. As the owner of Townsend Consulting, she has 30 years of extensive experience working with government organizations, where she has held leadership positions for the past 21 years. Support the show
Why do women turn on each other? This important question was posed in a recent Substack article, which addressed what Jodi has been wondering for a long time: Is it envy? Fear? Competition? Patriarchy? All of the above? Regardless of the underlying reasons, we might catch ourselves dismissively believing 'there's just something about her that bothers me' (which then allows us to avoid those underlying reasons and blame the other person). In this episode, Jodi and her friend, Brooke, talk more about all of this. They also discuss the documentary, Call Her Alex, and the aforementioned Substack article by Women Are The Medicine.

Israel started a direct war with Iran and many contend that they are dragging the United States into a possible war with Iran. We don't agree. Israel (like Ukraine) is acting as a proxy for the United States. We talk about that here in part 1 of our discussion on the US/Iran war.

Concerns about the rise and rapid development of artificial intelligence often tend to focus on AI's threat to jobs or its potential to influence politics and elections. But what about the very real threat that AI poses to women? In her new book, The New Age of Sexism, feminist writer Laura Bates explores how the ever-evolving world of technology has become a danger to women and how the expanding scope of what's possible online is “reinventing misogyny.” In this episode, Bates talks to Róisín Ingle about the real harm caused by pornographic deepfakes, the alarming rise of AI girlfriends, and her eye-opening visit to a cyber brothel in Berlin.But first Irish Times journalist Niamh Towey is here to talk about some of the biggest stories of the week including the new Women's Aid report showing the rise in domestic violence disclosures, the latest in the Annie McCarrick case and the furore over the Bezos wedding in Venice.

Karen Read was found not guilty of killing her cop boyfriend last week, but the online debate rages on. Did Karen do it, or was she framed by a group of police members and their families to cover for their crime? I say the latter. And it was only a mixture of classist and sexist stereotypes combined with out of control egos in the small town of Canton that ever led to her being charged to begin with.

We really into the reality modern misogyny, including the rise of incel culture, the influence of algorithms, and the stats you need to have on hand. Laura Bates is a writer, activist, and the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, a platform that started as a simple space to collect people's experiences of sexism and exploded into a global movement with hundreds of thousands of stories.
