All The F Words

Ever wonder why the U.S. can’t seem to pass any meaningful legislation to regulate assault weapons or mandate universal background checks? It’s because of an “F” word that’s being used in the Senate to endlessly delay voting on a bill. The word is FILIBUSTER and whether you’re interested in the nuances involved in our nation’s government or not, it’s important to understand a bit about what a filibuster is, how it came about, and what it might take to move beyond it. That’s what Gabi and Joanne will be talking about this week on All the F Words. That and how and why some of us just aren’t willing to compromise; why winning seems to be all that matters.

Framily—a portmanteau of the words friend and family may have come into collective cultural prominence when Sprint launched its Framily Plan in 2014, but the meaning of the word—a group of close friends who function as a family—is a longstanding tradition, especially in the LGBTQIA community. On this episode, we talk about how and why framilies form.

People like to talk about the “good old days,” when convention ruled, mothers stayed home, and people rarely divorced, as if they are something we’ve collectively lost as a culture and should strive to return to. But in our research and discussion of this topic, we found that it’s actually a lot more, well, complicated than that. The structure of families has changed tremendously over the past century, and much of it has to do with women’s liberation. On this episode, we get into the how, why, and what’s next of the structure of the American Family.

Thoughts and prayers are not preventing mass shootings. The statistics are horrifying. And it seems that there’s a copycat killer crying for help at every turn. This week on All the F Words, Gabi and Joanne discuss FIREARMS – why so many Americans are hell bent on never regulating guns, why there are so many mass shootings in this country, especially in comparison to every other nation on earth, what the profile of a mass shooter is which will help us identify them before they kill, and what you can do right now if you care about this issue.

As of the recording of this episode, formula stock is down 40% throughout the United States—
a catastrophic shortage caused by a massive recall by Abbott, the company that makes Similac and other infant formula and food products. As a result, parents—especially ones with limited resources and access—are frantically searching for nutrition for their babies. On this episode, we talk about the history of infant feeding, the root cause and implications of this shortage, why chestfeeding isn’t necessarily the obvious solution for all parents, and the conversation the shortage has brought up about how we judge the way people choose to feed their babies.

Some F words are loaded. They’re discussed, debated, and adjudicated, an, apparently, not just once. FETUS is perhaps the most timely such F word and on this week’s episode of ALL THE F WORDS, Gabi and Joanne will talk about Roe v Wade and the case that will overturn it. Joanne remembers a time before Roe v Wade. Gabi has only known a nation where reproductive rights for women were a given. Get ready for some emotion!

The word feral is generally used to describe normally domesticated animals that live in the wild—cats, for example. But did you know that throughout history, there have been a few situations of human children being feral? And we’re not just talking about rambunctious class clowns. On this episode, we’ll talk about the myths and realities of feral children, and the question it calls into focus: which impacts the development of a person the most, nature or nurture?

“That’s not fair!” Every parent hates the phrase. Teaching kids about fairness is critical, and we’re here to help. But what is fairness? This episode of All the F Words is a deep dive into the concept. We talk about the demise of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987, which ensured that broadcast outlets covered different sides of issues. Joanne’s convinced its loss has contributed to how polarized the U.S. is today. Fair is different than equal. Hear more with Gabi and Joanne.

The phrase “first time” can refer to all sorts of things – voting, drinking, parenthood, heck, first time on a roller coaster or driving a car. But let’s be honest. When we talk about our “first time”, we’re generally talking about sex. Losing one’s virginity can be a beautiful experience but often it’s a big ugly disappointment. Also, different people define loss of virginity differently. That’s what Gabi and Joanne will be discussing on this episode of All the F Words. Warning. May be TMI.
