There's been some fucked up shit going on in current events and social commentary, y'all. In today's episode, I'm talking about some stuff that, frankly, I'm pissed off about. From the bullshit around Bumble's new marketing strategy to the crap that Butker was running his mouth about, I've been channeling my inner-TTPD-era Taylor Swift. This episode is Female Rage: the podcast.
