  • MXMFW 10: Abortion Part 1
    Oct 11 2021

    In this episode, your lovely hosts tackle the topic of abortion. They start out by discussing the latest Texas abortion ban and then circle back to the beginning of human history to track the legacy of abortions through time.  Once the history of abortion has been sufficiently addressed, they delve into what religious institutions have thought about it throughout time, the precise year that the Catholic Church decided to care, and what the actual scripture even says about it. Maggie's favourite phrase "woman box" makes an appearance, Theo gets to find out what the quickening is, and Bridget references a project she did for a class she flunked in high school.

  • MXMFW 9: The Whore/Madonna Dichotomy
    Sep 27 2021

    In this episode, your fabulous hosts discuss the two genders, no wait The Two Towers (2002), no wait, the two types of women, Virgin and Whore. Accompany Maggie, Theo, and Bridget, as they figure out if liking milves is subversive, if being hungry is the same as being horny, and if Freud was right?? As always, Gay John and Sara Bareilles come up as they navigate virginity, the difference between Eve and Mary, and whether sex positivity can become a perpetuation of the same false dichotomy used to shame people for their sexualities.
