That’s right. We said it. “Wet Ass P-Word.” and Rynn coins the now copyrighted term “Dr. Shapiro Medicine Woman.”

Heavy Heartsville over here at That Other F Word this week. We were sad to learn about the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We celebrate her legacy in our own way, and discuss the unique kind of feminism she represents.

- The Future is Female?
You’ve seen the t-shirt. But what does the future is female actually mean? Is it actually feminist? We chat about where this phrase came from, how it gained popularity, and talk about whether it works for us.

- The 1st Female Recession
The First Female Recession, also called the Shecession, is the new name given to the economic fallout from the pandemic. Of course most of us are somehow affected, but why are women expected to feel the effects more keenly? How could we prevent women from taking the brunt in the future?

37 min - Witch with a B!
You know that word. It’s one of the worst things you can call a woman - or man. But it’s also a word that we hear so much they don’t even bleep it on prime time television. Since it was used recently against Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by a colleague on the steps of the capitol, we want to know what’s the history of the word “bitch,” and when is it offensive?

- The Perfect 36: Celebrating 100 Years of Women’s Suffrage
Do you know the history of the 19th amendment and Tennessee’s special role in its ratification? We talk about how one young man from Tennessee changed the world, how women of color were left out of the suffrage movement, and how this movement is still relevant to us today.

About That Other F Word
From the publisher's feed
Rynn Young and Katrina Vargas take back the word "Feminism" one episode at a time. Feminism isn't a bad word! It just means people shouldn't be treated differently because of genetics. Using current…
events and personal experience we analyze the perceptions of feminism. We even get male perspective from our producer, Mitch Wheeler for optimal transparency.
