  • Lies, damned lies, and affirmative consent?
    May 18 2024

    Another day, another viral video begging for deconstructive interrogation by our heroines. Its central question: can women be trusted to know what they want? (Let alone say it?) Can men be trusted not to take everything literally? Is consent culture bad for the autistic among us, or just Sarah? Speaking of dishonesty, Meghan notices that a much-ballyhooed newcomer to the heterodoxy who is, as the kids/Sarah say, highly (maybe) "suss". Finally, the girls review a shitty list of "shitty zionists", and complain that they're not on it. (Kinda like they weren't invited to the natalist conference.)

  • A LARP on Campus
    May 14 2024

    In this LIVE-STREAMED episode, the girlx/womxn weigh in on the Man vs. Bear discourse. If you're going to experience a #MeToo event in forest, who would you rather be able to sic a Title IX officer on later? A bear or a human man? The answer may (not) surprise you.

    Then, Meghan dishes about her time at Dissident Dialogues, a convention of heretics at which she dissented from the dialogue by not giving any talks or speaking on any panels. But she was still a VIP, and what else really matters? Finally, the women share their views on the neverending LARP on college campuses.Live-streamed episodes are released right after the recording (and entirely unedited) on YouTube for paying subscribers only.

  • Harvey Weinstein Gets His Day
    May 5 2024

    Do all dogs go to heaven? Or just those euthanized by Strong Republican Women? Like Kristi Noem (with a dash of Glennon Doyle?), the girlx/womxn prove they Can Do Hard Things when it feels right. Listeners will be dismayed to discover that what feels right today is agreeing with the overturning of Harvey Weinstein case in New York and poking holes in the witness testimony. Act 3: Women's tears: a discussion. (Again.)

Brave conversations, interesting minds

Another great podcast for people who care and think deeply. Sarah Haider and Meghan Daum are excellent. I love the title and reference, a challenge from the start. Not a show for those looking to have their beliefs massaged and indulged until the brain becomes a soupy puddle. You’ll be smarter after listening to Sarah and Meghan.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
