Dame It All To Hell

Should people be pushing societal boundaries or are traditional roles okay? Tracy and Kelly disagree...unsurprisingly. This week's episode is brought to you by googling "sexism" and clicking the "News" tab. That leads to a hilarious conversation about "man size Kleenex" and "The Gentleman's Sandwich".

In politics (and Crazy Shit People Say), Kelly takes issue with North Dakota's GOP Senate candidate Kevin Cramer's characterization of #MeToo is a “movement toward victimization,” and Tracy does not disagree...mostly. On a positive note, Natalie Portman's comments about toppling the patriarchy get the Dames all fired up.

After a few weeks of the emotional rollercoaster dealing with challenges to women's role in our country's future, Tracy and Kelly spend this episode enjoying being friends, because science.

Did you know that science says women get actual hormonal benefits from their girlfriends, and that women who swear are more loyal and trustworthy? Friends can even make you less likely to catch a cold.
This is one of the happiest, funniest episodes the Dames have ever done. We hope it makes you happy, too!

Tracy on the road and, sadly, doesn't get to drink wine with Kelly and Richard. Apparently, coconut milk coffee isn't the same.

The national conversation about Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation has changed from why it's important to believe women who experience sexual assault to why it's important to protect men from false accusers. Seriously, what the fuck?

Tracy points out that just 28% of rape and sexual assault are committed by strangers, so maybe women should stop being so afraid of walking to their cars at night and start being willing to spray mace in the faces of the men they know.

If men are afraid to say sexual things to women, to touch women, or to behave in any way that may result in them being accused of bad behavior...that's a GOOD THING!

It's all so fucking heavy, so let's start "drinking with the wine"! Maybe not the best wine this time...but one of the best episodes EVER.

The Dames get right into it and agree that Brett Kavanaugh was a complete douchebag when he got drunk as a teenager, and spend some time considering how rape culture starts really early in people's lives. Tracy points out that no one asks why men rape, just why women did whatever they did., and wonders whether good men realize how many of their female friends have been assaulted.

Then she reacts...atypically...to Trump's tweet. And Kelly loves her for it.

Hang on for a wild ride, Damers!

Did Serena Williams lose the U.S. Women's Open Final to Naomi Osaka because of sexism or bad sportsmanship? The Dames do not agree. Does Asshat Leslie Moonves, former CEO of CBS, deserve a $1.2 million severance package? The Dames most certainly agree. Sadly, this was recorded too early in the morning for wine-tasting, so maybe we'll do whiskey shots next week.

The Dames welcome the amazing Domonique James, founder of Politics With Purpose and board member of College to Congress, to drink chewy red wine and talk about how sexism impacts women's lives even when they don't necessarily see it. They dig into a new economic study that suggests attitudes toward a woman where she grows up have a lasting impact on how financially successful she as an adult.

In this lively episode, Tracy hears the dumbest f#cking things she's ever heard several times. Kelly quizzes Tracy on wine geography and Tracy demands bigger pours.
Omarosa may be a badass, but how the hell did she get into the Situation Room?
Millennials may think feminism has already won. Kelly, who calls herself a millennial, disagrees.
Is giving no f#cks really an art? Maybe only to millennials.
Spiderman doesn't look that good in a thong, and French women are tired of postcards that imply every French woman is on a beach in one.
