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.
