The HisTerical Society Feminist Podcast

Mindy was raised Jehovah's Witness and survived only to later find as an adult her mega-church in Texas turned QAnon.  She shares the story of how she got out and saw the light both times, as well as tips for those with loved ones who are still in a cult on how to reach them and help them out.

Filmmaker Dorothy Fadiman joins the podcast to discuss her pro-choice documentary film series, Choice at Risk, which contains 3 docs made about the pre-Roe era of back-alley abortion.  We also discuss with her social media manager, Hannah Latimer Snell, how they are repurposing clips from the films to address current issues in states with abortion bans and abortion ballot measures ahead of the election.  Their messages promote awareness and encourage people to register and vote in the upcoming election.

We discuss male tendencies that hold women back with Jeremy Stockdale, Owner of Ylead, gender ally, and originator of the "Smash the Patriarchy" Wednesday posts on LinkedIn.  We discuss the various Man- terms and tendencies that Men have adopted due to societal pressures.  We learn why they affect women in a negative way in the workplace, but also in family and other relationships.  It's so refreshing to hear a man acknowledge these inequitable male tendencies.  And his British accent doesn't hurt either!  ;)

He shares a wealth of great tips and recommendations:
