Ep 72 Pop Culture Queen: Worthless Fathers and Bad Feminists

Send us Fan Mail

It's pop culture queen of the month where we feature an iconic woman owning the spotlight and crown her queen! But first we're yapping about potty training, women's history month, and our 6 degrees of separation from a new RHONY housewife. Then we need to talk about Scott Galloway's latest remarks on paternity leave and the role of fathers in an newborn's life. We're sharing our thoughts on Scott's original remarks in an interview he conducted on his podcast with Derek Thompson and his response to the backlash. Next, we're crowning Margaret Atwood as this month's PCQ and Hollis is leading the discussion on her background, career as an author, poet, and feminist figure, and controversies surrounding a incident involving SA allegations against one of her former colleagues (Trigger Warning there is light discussion around the SA allegations with very little to no detail). She is an extremely smart and accomplished woman who has had a huge impact on pop culture most notably with her book turned hit Hulu series The Handmaid's Tale. She has solidified herself, perhaps unwillingly, as a divisive feminist figure with a body of work featuring female protagonists and encompassing themes around gender roles, identity, agency, and sexual and power politics. She was such an interesting person to learn about and we hope you enjoy learning about her as much as we did! We're wrapping today's episode up with a quick she's in the comments segment and our weekly grapes and gripes! Thanks for being here weed whackers!
