Welp, here we are. Where is that exactly, what does it all mean, and what will it look like in a week, a month, a year from now? These are among the things that we don't know in this time of unprecedented uncertainty. Marguerite and I check in, she from the US and me from here in Germany, and talk about how things are at this moment. Although, this was recorded yesterday, so things have already changed! See below for useful links. Everyone stay healthy and, most importantly, stay the fuck home!

Episode 008: The Places We Get Stuck w/Erik Hanberg  (Are we going to figure this out?) 

Erik Hanberg is back! We talk about our last conversation (Episode 003) and the feedback we both received that I went too easy on him.  Erik is still mulling over the performative nature of showing up, and I make the case for a relational approach to disrupting the patriarchy. We also talk about the ways we actually behave in uncomfortable situations compared to how we imagine we will, and we wonder if we could use the way we parent our children to inform how we hold each other accountable, plus loads more! Listen to the end to hear how uncomfortable it is for Erik to accept my compliments about his hair!

Episode 007: The Problem with White Feminism (It me!)

Grief Bacon favorite Marguerite Martin is back! We talk about white feminism, the ways that patriarchy and white supremacy feed each other, the cost/difficulty of acknowledging how adjacent we white ladies are to power and privilege and how we benefit from all interlocking systems of oppression. Marguerite tries really hard to pin down some takeaways, and bless her heart, I think she succeeds!
