052 - The Stake of Being A Woman in 2026

One of the biggest questions I've had stirring around in my head this past year was what a woman's role really is in our current age - where fascists are abundant, young people have endless access to influence (for better or worse), and so many people seem so excited to throw inclusivity and equity out the window. Where are we? How did we get here? And who are the voices we need to be listening to to guide us through?Show notes:Florence Given's "Audacity Injection - make them say 'who does she think she is?'"My book review of Pussy by Regina Thomashauer (mentioned @ 41:10)More on the conversation around sexuality simply existing rather than something that must be commodified, check out "A Different Kind of Sex Talk," pt.

If anything, this year taught me just how many people have my back, and how easy it actually is to seek help when it's needed.Don't believe me?
