That Other F Word

For this episode we’re joined by Mayor Indya Kincannon, Knoxville’s 2nd female mayor. We got to chat with her about what it’s like to be the leader of our fair city during a global pandemic, as well as lots of issues surrounding the use of masks during this time. Our old pal, toxic masculinity, is at it again! Listen for that and much more.

Theme music is “Get Happy Now” by Podington Bear.

Are you a “Karen”? Do you know a “Karen”? Do you call people “Karen”? Do you have no idea what a “Karen” is? Then this episode is for you! We chat about this internet-born insult and whether it is, as the kids say, problematic. Or do the white women who are up in arms over this need to simmer down?

During this global pandemic, there have been gatherings protesting stay at home orders in many states. Two in particular had protestors carrying signs with the well-know pro-choice slogan, “My Body, My Choice.” Is this phrase relevant to the current crisis? Rynn, Katrina, and Mitch chat about why it may not apply in the same way.

Did Elizabeth Warren’s gender cost her a Presidential nomination? We discuss whether or not Warren’s “lady-ness” cost her a run at the highest office in the land. We talk about the challenges most women face when running for office, including the dreaded pantsuit.

Katrina, Rynn, and Mitch chat remotely during social distancing. We’re checking in with some basic questions that we hope you’ll take time to think about while you’re thriving in quarantine yourself.

Here’s our part two of the “Rynn Had a Baby” series. There’s a lot more we don’t talk about AFTER babies are born. We talk about all of the weird things that happen to women post-birth as well as gender roles and expectations. If you’re as grossed out and over it as Mitch, don’t worry. We’re almost done here.

Buckle up! We’re back with Rynn’s promised pregnancy retrospective. Ready to hear all the pregnancy things no one wants to talk about? Of course you are! Nice Rynn is back in the studio with Katrina and Mitch and ready to get some stuff off her chest.

Can you believe it has been 1 year already!? We’re joined by one of our Heathers, a true That Other F Word pal, to recap our first year of episodes. What were our best episodes? What’d we learn? How’d we do? According to Mitch, “not bad at all.”

Listen in to hear about one of the first topics that inspired That Other F Word! Did you know men are often required to have their wives sign consent forms before they’re allowed to have a vasectomy? What is this nonsense and what should the inclusive feminist response be?
