Dame It All To Hell

Hang on to your headphones, Damers, this is one fiery episode.
 
 First, we speak with Lucy Beck, one of the founders of M.Power, a discussion group whose mission is to empower women in progressive politics by sharing experiences and new perspectives in hopes of taking on the industry’s norms. Inspiring!
 
 Then things get a little heated as Kelly wonders about evangelical women walking away from Donald Trump in hopes of strong female conservative leadership. (Did someone say Nikki Haley?) Tracy's having none of it, though.
 
 Finally, the most explosive Crazy Stuff People Say segment ever: Tracy calls out Hillary Clinton for saying Republican women vote the way their husbands and bosses (i.e. men) tell them to. Was that horribly denigrating to women or just the facts, jack? Listen and decide for yourself, but you better believe Kelly had some strong words in defense of Hill!

The Academy Awards give the Dames a new opportunity to laugh at Mike Pence and a chance to disagree about "inclusion riders". Ah, Hollywood.
 
 Hope Hicks announced she's retiring as White House Communication Director, so Tracy and Kelly debate the media's coverage of her and whether it's more important to be smart or experienced.
 
 And Tracy makes it absolutely clear, it's not women's fault in men can't keep it in their pants.

Recorded LIVE at Campaigns & Elections' Reed Awards & Conference.
 
 Tracy & Kelly lay down rules to keep asshats from ruining a conference for everyone and the Dames agree to agree that elected officials who are douchebags should resign, especially when they get indicted. (That's you, Missouri Governor Eric Greitens!)

Things get personal this week, as Tracy & Kelly address sexual assault allegations against a member of their own community and ask the question, "Is there a line beyond which bad behavior means you should lose your job?" Talking about harassment and assault is hard enough when it's about people you don't know...
 
 This week's Crazy Shit People Say takes us to South Carolina, where a few years ago state senator Tom Corbin told fellow GOP senator Katrina Shealy (the only woman in the state senate) that women "are a lesser cut of meat" because apparently, God's not a big fan of barbeque. An oldie but a goodie.
 
 Kudos to all women who speak up about asshats. We know it's not easy.

In this episode, Tracy & Kelly examine the limitations placed on professional women who decide to become mothers and the way men treat pregnant women in the workplace. This week's Crazy Shit People Say: Donald Trump whines about due process and poor Rob Porter. Big question of the week: Is there any redemption for asshats? Can men who harass, abuse, or assault ever really change their ways, and should society give them second chances? If you think Tracy & Kelly agree on this, you don't know the Dames!

Tracy & Kelly introduce "Crazy Shit People Say", a new segment calling out looney people who say idiotic bullshit. Riding the crazy train this week: sexual freedom leads to human trafficking and God only wants ducks and deer to get shots. In other news, the House of Representatives now thinks it's not okay for members to sleep with their aides. Who knew? All that and an important discussion about forced arbitration and its impact on combatting sexual harassment in the workplace.

Sarah Sanders was none too pleased that Nancy Pelosi didn't smile during the State of the Union, and she let the world know it. Is it an insult to women everywhere, or an appropriate response that women in leadership positions should heed? Kelly takes it to extremes while Tracy doesn't disagree, but totally disagrees, in this lively debate about smile shaming. All that, the Grammys, and the Ghost of Christmas Pence, too? We can't seem to stop smiling! (Is that wrong?) Thanks to our sponsor, CampaignsAndElections.com!

Tracy and Kelly debate nature vs. nurture as they explore ways parents can raise kids who speak up in the face of harassment, assault, or worse. How do we teach children to respond to these issues and help them grow into adults who change the paradigms? Should we teach them about ways testosterone and estrogen may affect their behaviors? Or will that close doors for them, and lead them to believe their capabilities are limited by their gender and biology? Tough questions in this week's episode!

Who is this "Grace" and was she right to publically accuse Aziz Ansari of sexual harassment? Tracy and Kelly go toe-to-toe over differences in men's and women's upbringing, responsibilities, and awkwardness in sexual encounters—and how those things change as we grow older. This is a must-listen episode! Be warned: The Dames have a frank and open discussion of the specific claims "Grace" made, and it can be graphic. Share your thoughts with us at Facebook.com/dameitall

The 2018 Golden Globe Awards were a huge moment in American culture as celebrity women (and men) embraced #MeToo and championed #TimesUp. Kelly and Tracy ponder the rapid rise to stardom of the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund, Oprah Winfrey's critically acclaimed speech, and Meryl Streep's leading men. Also, did Donald Trump grab pu**y or did he just say that he could? YOU be the judge! All this and finding our vaginas, too! Go ahead, give to the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund here.
