Ep. 72: Weaponized Incompetence Roundtable with Special Guests ThatDarnChat and SpeechProf


Listen Later

Weaponized incompetence deserves a second episode, and this time, we brought friends: ThatDarnChat, aka Laura Danger, propelled to popularity online by talking about domestic labor and its unequal distribution in many relationships, and SpeechProf, aka Professor Chesko, an outspoken feminist advocate on TikTok. Both of these talented individuals do the thankless work of tearing down misogynistic rhetoric through humor and courage (because you know misogynists don't want misogyny to end....that would be terrible for them). 

In this episode, we not only try to dispel the myth that domestic work is women's work (spoiler alert, it's not! Even if you're a woman who works from home! Even if your male partner works or makes more!). Domestic work should be a shared responsibility, and that includes emotional and mental labor. The idea that this should all fall on women because we're "so good at it" is not a compliment—it's burning us the eff out and resulting in depression, anxiety and the anger of a thousand suns. (Labour by Paris Paloma anyone?)

If you like today's jibber jabber, check out Laura's podcast, Time to Lean, with her cohost Crystal Britt. Also check out Chesko's about-to-launch brand-new podcast, Bad Advice Wednesdays, which is exactly what it sounds like. Advice is mostly useless anyway, may as well make it awful.
