Why feminism keeps getting sidelined — even by our male allies on the Left.

In this episode of "The Abortionfluencer Podcast," host Colleen Luckett explores a frustrating truth many feminists know deep in their bones: Even well-meaning, left-leaning men often diminish feminist analysis — especially when it comes to reproductive justice, bodily autonomy rights, and power.

Using a childhood soccer memory as a metaphor (pass the damn ball, my dudes!), this episode connects personal experience to political reality — from social media algorithms and bro-dominated leftist spaces to centuries-old systems of misogyny (and misogynoir) baked into U.S. "democracy" itself.

This one’s part vent, part history lesson, part love letter — and part warning shot.
