Toronto publishing house With/out Pretend has released it's new book "You Care Too Much: Creative Women on The Subject Of Self Care". Peggy sat down with the writer, editor, publisher Erin Klassen, the art director Jen Spinner, and two of the artists Angela Lewis and Kathryn Bondy to talk about taking care of yourself in 2016.

This week, Frida and Georgia sit down to talk about race and whiteness, Amal honours legendary journalist Gwen Ifill and Peggy makes her pop culture picks.

Anne reacts to the Presidential Election in the Unites States. Do not listen if you have election fatigue. Please do listen if you are looking to commiserate.

This week on Underwire, Georgia and Alice discuss the shroud of mystery surrounding female genitalia (the vagina, clitoris and vulva, to name a few) and how the lack of conversation on this topic affects women's reproductive health and sexual pleasure. Join Peggy, Alice, and Georgia as they play Cuntypalooza, a game where they name all the different words for vagina. Some are cute, some are gross, and some are hilarious. Alice and Georgia share their "vagina awakenings", among other real-life experiences they've had in discovering and loving their vaginas, and chat about vagina beauty standards and vagina-positivity.

Peggy opens up about her struggle with vaginismus: a painful spasmodic contraction of the vagina in response to physical contact or pressure.

This week on Underwire, Frida explores our relationship with the word feminism, which is a complicated one. In another collaborative episode, members of TOFemCo and contributors dissect their personal feelings about the word and what we can do to change the negative connotation around it and make feminism a more inclusive moment for all people, including women of colour and the LGBTQ2SI community.

This week, Kaylee and Hermione talk all things cosplay: the joys, the frustrations, and the occasional feminist headache involved in the act of dressing up to represent a specific character. Cosplay helps people from all over the world connect over their passions and provides an amazing creative outlet for hardworking fans, but it’s not without its tensions. Kaylee and Hermione discuss crossplay and genderbending, sexual harrassment at cons, and the racist nonsense that cosplayers of colour endure. We interview bad ass cosplay duo and real life fiancés, Laurabel Cosplay about their experiences cosplaying as a queer couple and get real about body shaming at cons. Let’s put the play back in cosplay and let people celebrate their fandom without fear! We induct Canadian artist and Youtuber ALB in Wonderland into our League of Extraordinary Women and play you out on this week’s feminist anthem, Lorde’s Yellow Flicker Beat, a wicked song inspired by The Hunger Games.

Ahh, the age old riddle-- when a rapist rapes someone, who is at fault? The rapist or the victim? Oh, wait, any reasonable person should know the answer to this (the rapist!! hello?!) and yet our society is continually blaming the victim. Goat & Anne discuss rape culture and explore some of the different areas of society where victim blaming occurs (the media, the "justice" system, in our social lives, and within ourselves). They share their personal stories, real world examples and dig into some media articles and research. Our Pop Culture Review is all about our feminist book club's summer read "My Brilliant Friend" by Elena Ferrante. Goat & Ann play a game of "Body Shameless" where they talk about what they absolutely love about their bodies, with no shame. We induct sexual assault advocate and survivor Mandi Gray into our League of Extraordinary Women. Our feminist anthem is Vancouver band White Lung's "I Believe You" off of their album Deep Fantasy. We'd love for you to answer our Twitter Question: How do YOU dismantle rape myths and shut down victim blaming? Plus, let us know what you think about Underwire's new format (we've switched up the order of our segments!)

Join Alice & our honoured guests as we talk about what a summer body is, and why it's bullshit. You'll hear from a range of people talk about how they experience their body in the summer. The TOFemCo crew chimes in too, so keep an ear out for familiar voices. On this episode of Underwire we want you to sit with us, as we have a conversation where we don't only hear the dominant narrative of the supposed bikini body or beach body, a singular summer body, but instead hear from everyone making their way through the summer. We want to make it about summer bodies-- plural, and talk about all the ways we can rebel & resist the notion that only one body can have fun in the summer.

What happens when your thighs touch 'cause they love each other so much, but in the summer there's just too much friction? Peggy & Alice, both members of the Chub Rub Club, discuss what exactly chub rub is (maybe you call it "chafing", as Peggy prefers), and then it's story time with Alice sharing her absolute worst, and kind of hilarious, experience with chub rub. The two review tips and solutions for preventing your entrance into Chafe City -- be sure to listen, because they have some good tricks up their sleeves (or, err-- shorts?).
