A Special Place in Hell

Meghan Gets Ratioed. Sarah Gets Offended.

Does Meghan look like a media elite? (Does that blue check make her look fat?) Would wearing hijab help Sarah's career?

On Saturday evening, as As Sarah and Meghan recorded this episode of A Special Place In Hell, Meghan was being ratioed on Twitter after posting an article so absurd she felt it needed no comment. (Wrong! The mob thinks she wrote it, and now they’re piling on.) But before assessing the damage, the girls/women respond to listener feedback about some of their earlier conversations about one of their favorite topics: how to live your life right. Meghan, who’s never lived her life right, helps Sarah clarify what she meant about settling down early becoming a “social norm” again. They then move on to Meghan’s viral tweet, which referenced an Atlantic Magazine article arguing that sports should not be separated by sex. Why? Because part of the reason men are physically stronger than women is because the imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist, heteronormative, cis- patriarchy keeps them from having as many training opportunities. #Duh!

They then move on to another recent vital tweet storm, which suggested that “heterodox” POCs are simply opportunists who launder tired racist tropes because that’s how you get the big bucks. Sarah takes offense at this and finds it racist. Meghan admits she’s a little jealous not to have such such opportunities. Unrelatedly, in a shocking reveal: Meghan admits not to knowing the story of The Little Mermaid. This evens the score after Sarah’s previous disclosure that she’d never heard of The Love Boat.

In the bonus content for paid subscribers the women/girls answer listener questions about how to keep your friends even though they have turned into woke idiots see things differently than you do. They also revisit their semi-plans to release video content and bemoan the patriarchal forces that will require them to get expensive makeovers in order to do so.
