Weighing in on the Katie Britt response to the SOTU address and how she ties in to weaponized white motherhood
While we all realize the latest Alabama ruling on IVF is a reproductive rights issue, we may not have thought through the deeper issues of intersectional feminism that run through this controversy. Today we're discussing how white women are showing up in very white-womany ways for IVF.
We're back!!! Sorry we disappeared for a moment there. But don't worry, we're still here, we're still friends and we're still down for exposing white women and how we enforce and support white supremacy. We're discussing the weaponization of motherhood this season and starting with a group of modern day Daughter's of the Confederacy: Mom's for Liberty. It sounds nice, b...

This history of the fight for equal pay & the gender pay gap - what it encompasses and what it leaves out.
These women don't deserve much of our time, but the lesson that it always helps to be a white lady is reinforced in a hard core way with the stories of Anna Delvey and Elizabeth Holmes. Yet, somehow, it's seldom mentioned that their whiteness was integral to their fraud.

Kate Schatz is back to bring in some examples of positive white ladies deviating from the patriarchal, white supremacist norm and how we can learn from their lives and work. When we talked to Jessie Daniels a few episodes back we noted that many of the non-shitty white women we find in history happened to be queer women. We asked Kate to highlight a few of those women in this episode.
