The Girls Are All Right: A Feminactivist Podcast

Did you miss the first season of The Girls Are All Right: A Feminactivist Podcast? If so, no worries. Jess & Less are BACK for 2017 and episode one of season TWO is epic. No holds barred. We lament Carrie Fisher, blast WhiteFeminism™, bash Trump, and encourage everyone to be part of The Resistance.

Jess and Less discuss the closing events of 2016 (Carrie Fisher's untimely and shocking death) and look forward to 2017. We focus on the importance of being part of The Resistance, including how we cannot allow ourselves the privilege to retreat into the comforts of private life. We conclude with a call to action, and we also remind those, who are standing on the sidelines, that their inaction will not save them.

Less & Jess wrap up 2016 with the tried and true self-care/coping strategy of imbibing their cocktails of choice, and talk electoral college outcomes and bracing for 2017 activism.

Jess & Less continue talking about the new nominees to Trump's cabinet, the upcoming electoral college vote, and other Trumpian shenanigans, such as having time for meetings with Kanye and watching SNL and putting Alec Baldwin on blast tweet, but not, say, having intelligence briefings. You know, doing the job of President Elect.

Also: a side convo on Aleppo.

What. The. Fuck. Jess & Less talk about Trump's growing Cabinet of Deplorables. Who is he appointing, what are they responsible for, and how exactly are they qualified? Let's discuss.

Also: please forgive Jess for the coughing. SO MUCH COUGHING. But the show must go on, right?

Jess & Less talk about self-care (for activists and people troubled by the times), Standing Rock, Bresha Meadows...and Hamilton.

Oh, the election of November 8, 2016. Jess & Less talk about the election and do a post-mortem of what went wrong, and share a bit about their thoughts on what is coming in the days ahead. They also encourage you to visit feminactivist.com to read the blog!

Less & Jess try make links between the hypocrisy of patriarchy while discussing the DAPL pipeline protests, the acquittal of the Bundy militia, the double-bind of being a woman when dealing with reproductive health/contraception and men who can't even get through a clinical study for male birth control. BECAUSE ACNE AND MOOD SWINGS!

Jess & Less talk about the UN report on women's rights in the United States and the white, secular, western bias in the international development community.

Less & Jess grab their tin-foil hats and talk conspiracy theories, from the zany and mind-boggling flat Earthers to the misogynistic and super-fucking-irritating "conspiracy" that anytime a woman reports that a powerful man raped or sexually assaulted her, it's just to bring the guy down.
