That Other F Word episodes
- Feminism and Ruby
We talk with one of our favorite young whippersnappers, Ruby. She talks to us, as a feminist herself, about what it’s like to be a young person these days. She also schools us on some youth lingo.

- Leave Britney Alone
We chat about the Britney Spears documentary on Hulu and our society’s strange relationship with famous women and the media. Maybe instead of all the hashtags and protest signs we should just do like Chris Crocker advised so many years ago and leave her alone.

How important are titles? With a doctor of education as first lady and our country’s first second gentleman, things are looking a little different on Pennsylvania Avenue. And how we acknowledge those positions is important.

- The Court of Public Opinion’s New Defendants
There has never been a shortage of abusers and jerks in the world, but we didn’t always have the internet to help identify them. This week we talk about three men who have found themselves in the spotlight for their alleged bad behavior. Is the internet a helpful tool for protecting other women, or is society up to something totally different when these stories go viral.

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.
