Sonya Massey was shot in her home by a sheriff's deputy, Shawn Grayson. On this 4th episode of Angry Bitter Woman we will examine the sorted history of the KKK in law enforcement, and if this helped lead to the murder of Sonya.

By looking back at the rise of the KKK in the Midwest, and learning about the case of a woman named Madge Oberholtzer,  who ultimatley took down the Grand Dragon; we can understand the misoogyny that also exists alongside its close cousin, racism.

To understand one, we can understand the other. Follow along as we learn of two women who have as much to teach us in death, as they did in their all too short lives.

Welcome to a gripping episode of Angry Bitter Woman, where Gretchen Jennings dares to question the glittery façade of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Ever wonder how a group of high school cheerleaders evolved into a professional dance team, capturing America's hearts and wallets? This transformation was no accident, but a calculated business strategy orchestrated by Intertech's SRAM and propelled further by the Cowboys' ownership under Jerry Jones. We'll dissect how these decisions skyrocketed the team's brand and revenue, while also spotlighting the unsettling realities of gender inequality and exploitation that lurk behind the glamour.

Prepare yourself for a journey that began with skepticism and ended in a 4 am Netflix binge. Gretchen dives into the series "Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders: America's Sweethearts," revealing unexpected insights and emotional turns. Key figures like Kelly Finglass, the long-time director seemingly entwined with the Jones family, come under scrutiny as we explore the power dynamics and potential nepotism at play. From the conservative views of legendary coach Tom Landry to the global ambassador role the cheerleaders now hold, this episode offers a thorough examination that challenges preconceived notions and sparks meaningful conversations.

Robert Morris is the founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch based in Texas with a congregation of over 100,000 people. On the surface, Morris presents himself as a charismatic leader committed to his ministry. But beneath this facade lies a web of dishonesty and exploitation.
