Listen Later

Episode trigger warning for anti-semitism and abusive language.

On August 7th, 2024, Olivia tweeted: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for in the Presidential Election?" We've been getting this question a lot, so we rounded up some helpful facts.” This one tweet became a national conversation, and a lot of people had a lot of things to say about it. Olivia and Jenny sat down to talk about how the tweet came to be, the backlash from the tweet, and why it’s incredibly important to keep reminding women that their vote is their vote. So, can my husband find out who I voted for? We wanted to make sure this answer was clear - and we appreciate the response from The Washington Post, NPR, Salon, Elle, Buzzfeed, Octavia Spencer, Jodie Sweeten, Christine Lakin, and many more.

In this episode, you will hear voice actors reading tweets - all of these tweets were publicly tweeted, from public accounts, and we do not reveal anyone’s twitter handle. We wanted to share the full story of the feedback of this conversation, and many, many first hand accounts of people attempting to silence women’s voices and votes.

We specifically want to thank the following people for reading the tweets for this episode: Josh, Lisa, Marissa, Melissa, Alex Frankel, Becky Schwarz, Bridget Cosgrove, Brooke Forry, Chelsea Long, Cheryl Searing, Christine Gritmon, Dawn Montgomery, Jake Sanders, Joseph Azam, Lynn Swayze, Matthew Searing, Meg St-Esprit, Molly Jenson, Nikka Kowidge, Rachel Bell, Richard Dedor, Jackson Searing, Harry Dreizen, Lis Dreizen
