1
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to Stuff.

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: I never told you a production of I Heart Radios

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 1: how Stuff works. We are coming to the end not

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: only ten, but the end of a decade, apparently, because

5
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: this is a fourteen page outline. We're gonna see how

6
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: we do. Because we thought we would take a look

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: back on some of the big moments of the tins

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: and in our next episode we'll look ahead to things

9
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: on the horizon in the twenties and things that were

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: hopeful for Oh, this sounds so weird, you know. My

11
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: number one prediction is everyone's going to say, well, pundits,

12
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: particularly hindsight, is we're going to hear that all the time.

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: But don't we hear it all the time anyway, But

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: now it's going to be a pun Oh yeah, okay, yeah,

15
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: come on. I already bought a bottle of wine called

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: Hindsight because I'm so into pun I posted a picture.

17
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm guilty of it too. You're trying to be

18
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: a politician. I was told when I was in third

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: grade I should be a politician because of the way

20
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: I shake hands and look people. In the end, I

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: was sold I should be a lawyer because I like

22
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: to argue a lot. Hey, those are pretty good professions.

23
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: We have said before on the show, New Years is

24
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: a tricky holiday for us. Um for me, something almost

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: always goes wrong on New Year's. Hopefully that won't come

26
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: true this time. I guess I'll talk about it in episode.

27
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a lot of pressure to make it an

28
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: epic holiday. I imagine that pressure is going to be

29
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: even more intense since it is the closing of a decade.

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: I honestly didn't even think about it. Honestly, to this point,

31
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: I can't remember. Somebody said something in passing and it

32
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: stopped me and eye tracks. Think about when two thousand happened.

33
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: Assume that the world was going through. Yeah, so if

34
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: that was a little more significant. There's no real big

35
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: like we're gonna die. All of the electronics is going

36
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: to stop together because the zero zero is going to

37
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: restart everything. Oh, for listeners who don't know about why

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: two K, you should look it up. It's obnoxious. We

39
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: really like this is the end. Buy out all the water, bread?

40
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: Why why bread? Because be able to restock the doors

41
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: weren't going to open the automatic doors and apocalypse. Yeah,

42
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: it was a whole thing. We had a whole thing. Yes,

43
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: And actually last year, Samantha and I we stayed in

44
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve. We got in one disiase and

45
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: send each other pictures of ourselves looking goofy at midnight.

46
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: And it was wesier than it sounds goofy. We were

47
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: awesome and cool and maybe a little sad, but definitely awesome.

48
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: I ordered mac and cheese three times. That that was

49
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: your whole goal that day. It was all that was

50
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: all I wanted and I got it three times. So

51
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: I just wanted to hang out with peaches and not

52
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: talk to people. Yeah, I think I watched Harry Potter

53
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: and Your Honors. Yeah, well I watched Harry Potter of

54
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: gob of Fire. It was great. It was good. This year,

55
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: I would totally be down. So I have more than

56
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: one ondnesie. I only have one bro and quick trigger warning.

57
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: Before we get into this, we are going to touch

58
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: on things around sexual assault, violence, terrorism, mass shootings, um,

59
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: just events that have happened. We're not going to go

60
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: in too much to tell, but just to put that

61
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: out there and disclaim before we get into this. There's

62
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: no way we're going to touch on everything. Clearly, Um,

63
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: if we leave, if we leave something out that you

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: find is extremely important, of course let us know. But

65
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: when you're talking about an overview of the past ten years,

66
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot to cover, and we did want to

67
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: touch on specifically for this show and some personal things

68
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: because this show actually launched, I believe, with creator christ

69
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: And Conger and her then co host Molly and this

70
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: was back when podcasting was super new and none of

71
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: us knew what we were doing really at the time.

72
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: The show was one of the first of it's kind

73
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: talking about feminism and women and I came on as

74
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: an editor that same year when I started as an intern,

75
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: and as I've said, it was a super transformative thing

76
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: for me personally. It gave me so much, expanded my worldview,

77
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: it made me look at things in different ways. And

78
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: then from there I went on to produce videos for Spent,

79
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: primarily for the YouTube channel and you can still find them,

80
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: which I did for several years. It was rewarding and stressful,

81
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: but a lot of it I'm I'm still pretty proud

82
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: of and I think back, huh you did that? I

83
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: think it was they were great. I know it took

84
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: a lot of time, for you all a lot of time,

85
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: and they were still look like they weren't produced, which

86
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: is actually really try to right, especially when you were

87
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: trying to speed talk a little bit and all that

88
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: information and being funny and then dressing up and doing all. Yeah,

89
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: there was a lot of things on there. There certainly were.

90
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: And over the years, spenty has gone through a lot

91
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: of changes, bringing on a friend Caroline after Kristen and

92
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,239
Speaker 1: Caroline left to do their own thing with unladylike Emily,

93
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: and Bridget came on, and then I came on after

94
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Emily left, and then Bridget moved on to other things,

95
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: and now we have Samanthem. Hey. Yes, and if I

96
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: look at where I was at the beginning of the decade,

97
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: I was twenty one, I was graduating college, I was

98
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: planning on moving to China, got this internship. That's when

99
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: I found out of my dad and internal cancer, and

100
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: that happened to be when I got offered a full

101
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: time position at Housett Forks, which yes I did accept. Um. Yeah,

102
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: it's just strange to think back on those times. So

103
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: I can't remember what I did in two thousand and

104
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: ten because all of my significt get things happen in

105
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: two thousand to two thousand, so from then on it

106
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: was just yeah, okay, I'm here. I've been in Atlanta

107
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: for a little while. I've had jobs for the past

108
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: you know, eight years, and I've been trying to adult.

109
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm definitely in a lot of debt, and I've moved

110
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: around three or four times, trying to get to a

111
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: point that I didn't have to have a roommate. Yeah.

112
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: I commuted over three hours day for three years help

113
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: with my dad. I got in the best shape of

114
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: my life. I got to know my mom really well.

115
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: My dog Dizzy died. I fell in love, was heartbroken.

116
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: I took a road trip across the U S. Went

117
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: to India, prew South Africa. Had the worst hangover of

118
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 1: my life. May five, I will never forget that. Very specific.

119
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: This is my brother's birthday and he had his birthday

120
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: party at Benny Hanna. Let you know what it's like

121
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: to be at a Benny Hanna and being imagining throwing

122
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: up on the abaca krill. It's not good. No, I can't.

123
00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: I've done that and I was two hours late, so

124
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: I've been throwing up drink responsibly. Yes I did. I

125
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: did a couple of movies, acting a couple of movies.

126
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Had a three year long relationship. That's the longest relationship

127
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: I've ever had, moved to Atlanta, became a podcast host

128
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: of a show called Saber, which is actually food stuff

129
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: is now is Saber and now it's a travel show.

130
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: And we've been to Asheville, New Orleans, Hawaii. And then

131
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: I came in on the show where I opened up

132
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: about some really personal things like my past experiences with

133
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: trauma and sexual assault for the first time, and also

134
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: probably figured out on my sexual So it's a big

135
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: years years years, yes, it's years, yes, yes, And when

136
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: I think back, I was trying to come up with

137
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: some deep thing I've learned, you know, give significance to

138
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: this thing. And really, I guess I've just become more cynical,

139
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: which I'm upbeat, but I suppose I'm more cynical, a

140
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: lot more questioning of things. I've learned that everyone has

141
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: their own problems that you don't know about, and you

142
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: can't just ignore your own problems and hope they go away,

143
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: because they won't. And I learned a lot about feminism

144
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: and intersectionality. Yeah, I think that's a continued thing, I

145
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: would say, um, just looking back at what Kristin and

146
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: Molly had to do in talking about feminism, the backlash

147
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: they got then, Oh my goodness, because we still get

148
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: a lot of backlash now and it's a little more

149
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: accepted and a little more conversational and with social media

150
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: you get a little more questions. Yeah, and it's fascinating.

151
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: And think if you if you look at feminism specifically,

152
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: it's changed so rapidly this decade, right particularly and this

153
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: show particularly, which is is good. It feels like so

154
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: many things have happened right and have changed, you know.

155
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking too on that personal levels, I've experienced

156
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: my thirties in this decade alone, and that's why I

157
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: feel like everything is that a stand still. Hopefully a

158
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: majority of the stuff I just said about this deck

159
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: was deleted, was edited out on me because I completely

160
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: forgot that this is not two thousand's and that it

161
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: is two thousands ten and I was trying to pretend

162
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: like I'm ten years younger. I'm not. And I don't

163
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: want to be to be fair because thirdays have been

164
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: good and bad, and I will say I've learned a lot.

165
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: You learn a lot about yourself, especially in an age

166
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: and time where I am single and have been single

167
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: majority of my life, and it's never been a thing

168
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: for me to have kids or to get married, which

169
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: is so which is unusual in comparison to it's not

170
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: as unusual now, and there are more and more women

171
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: who are not or not just women, more and more

172
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: people who are single and don't have family lives until

173
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: later in life. But it's it's an interesting facet to

174
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: look at to be an adult and to figure out

175
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: what the adulthood looks like in the changes from that

176
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: to twenties, because there's a pretty big significant change between

177
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: your teenage years to your twenties, obviously with things like

178
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: school and job and venturing out, but then trying to

179
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: actually stabilize and looking like looking at what stable is

180
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: for you. It's interesting, but it's very confusing. Yeah, I

181
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: have just noted like I had a stroke or something.

182
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: But it's okay, it's okay. I figured it out. I

183
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: figured it out. I will say that I figured out

184
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: what decade. This is good. Oh, next decade is gonna

185
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: be really, really, really troublesome for me. So let's take

186
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: a snapshot of two thousand tens. So we're coming out

187
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: of the recession here in the United States. For the

188
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: first time, women help more of the country's jobs. For

189
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: every two men getting a bachelor's women are getting three cads.

190
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: Protected that over the next decade, thirteen of the fifteen

191
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: job sectors expected to grow the most were dominated by women.

192
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: So this was at the start of twenty This is

193
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: where we were. And let's look at some of the

194
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: things that actually happened, because that article is written in

195
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: twenty Yes, okay, but first we're going to get into

196
00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: a quick break for word from our sponsor and we're back,

197
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: Thank you sponsoring. So let's talk about technology, yes, because

198
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: that was a huge thing changed so much, so rapidly,

199
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: and this one was perhaps one of the most shocking

200
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: for me looking back. So if we look at streaming,

201
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: as in entertainment streaming, that has changed so much, particularly

202
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: how we watch things and added phrases to our lexicon

203
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: like netflix and chill, Disney plus and thrust. Wait what, yeah,

204
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: I have heard that one that's just starving. Don't put

205
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: that with Disney, Well they have they have the mysterious thing.

206
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, nets like didn't launch its streaming service until

207
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: and didn't produce an original movie until. Can you believe

208
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: that they have like Oscar nominated movies? Right? I remember.

209
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: I feel like it was so quick though, that they

210
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: did so quickly, very fast, because I remember thinking, like

211
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: the original deals was getting the CD the CDs, the DVDs,

212
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: that's what you got to How many do you get

213
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: one or two or three? Right? It was such a phenomenon.

214
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: What killed Blockbuster? What? Alright? I do miss that? I

215
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: actually really liked it. There are other places you can go.

216
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: The release of a full season of House of Guards

217
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: in was one of the first culturally huge examples of

218
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: binging um, which, of course is something that a lot

219
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: of us do now. You just watch the entire show

220
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: one sitting. I can't lie. I'm spoiled by that. I

221
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: don't like waiting anymore. I've noticed that because I'll be like,

222
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: we've got to talk about this, and you'll say it's

223
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: not I'll come back to it. Right. Advancements in c

224
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: g I have led to more and more d aging

225
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: in films and television, and even completely digitized renderings of

226
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: actors in live action movies, like Harry Fisher as Princess

227
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: Leia in Rogue one. Music streaming services took off during

228
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: this time as well. The establishment and wide spread adoption

229
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: of social media has changed how communicate and interact. Multiple

230
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: studies have shown social media has changed how people perceived time.

231
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: Dating websites have changed how we date. Instagram launched in

232
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: two thousand ten, spotting a whole world of influencers which

233
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm still struggling by, Spawn Khan and Instagram culture, a

234
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: whole lot of which directly impacts women in particular. Obviously,

235
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: Instagram really has changed attitudes around so much and put

236
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: more pressure on women to be perfect. Hostess is perfect,

237
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: moms perfect wise have the perfect body or at least

238
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: the perfect attitude. It also has contributed to the rise

239
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: of things like gender reveal parties, which sets fires people.

240
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: It has set fires a lot of things that so

241
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: many things, but the fires fires. And I do find

242
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: it funny that now it's sort of accepted, Like we

243
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: have instagramm herble food and you're you know, in the

244
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: food the actual um what a filter that says for

245
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: food And on my phone there's a filter for food.

246
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm very baffled. Yeah, yeah, I did it. Typically it's

247
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: usually like, look how much food this is I'm gonna

248
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: eat it all. Thanks, I'm gonna love it. So the

249
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: first iPad also debuted in the dating app Tender, launched inelve,

250
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: which kick started all these conversations around hookup culture and

251
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: what women really want. Kind of a panic around all

252
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: of that stuff. Honestly, sexuality what not super specific to win.

253
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: But in Edward Snowden exposed that the n s A

254
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: had access to the servers of Google in Yahoo. That

255
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: was a huge thing. And he has a book now,

256
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,479
Speaker 1: does he really? Yeah, he's gone on tour like from location.

257
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: I've watched a few of them. Okay, okay. Another thing

258
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: that happened gamer Gate, which we've talked about a lot

259
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: on this show, but it was a pretty serio is

260
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: and scary thing where mostly white dude gamers really didn't

261
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: like women and other marginalized folks saying, you know, we

262
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: love this game, but it could be better. Right, And

263
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: if we're speaking of games, that landscape got a lot

264
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: more diverse and artistic and niche, despite said gamer dudes

265
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: fighting tooth and nail against it. I don't know about Fortnite,

266
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: but I know that's a huge thing. Um, the last

267
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: of Us, my favorite gone Home which I just beat

268
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: Mass Effect two and three, Celeste Journey, BioShock Infinite her story.

269
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: So we are seeing more developers who traditionally haven't been

270
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: able to get games made being able to get games

271
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: made and get them on a platform where people can

272
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: play a little and with that Twitch, which I was

273
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: just introduced to recently because I'm not a gamer, but

274
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is this? You just watch people play

275
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: games and it's making money for people. Interesting, Like, I

276
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: don't know what else to say that. Can we do that?

277
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Just try? I would love to do that. Watch me

278
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: play the Last of Us. No, I want to play

279
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: it with you. I'm just screaming at the thing and

280
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: you're getting mad at me for not knowing how to

281
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: do it. I feel like that would be fun. No, okay, fine,

282
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: the face you just made was not absolutely not. Maybe

283
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: not for that game. Well, okay. Speaking of fighting tooth

284
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: and now, this has also been the decade of fandoms

285
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: for better or worse, That's something else we've talked about

286
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: a lot. It has exposed an ugly underbelly of fan culture,

287
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: but also how beautiful and powerful and transformative it can be.

288
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: In Apple came out with a set of racially diverse

289
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: emojis and emojis depicting same sex couples. Good job. A

290
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: readitor by the name deep fakes created an algorithm that

291
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: generated fake porn videos of gall Godot, Taylor Swift, and

292
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Scarlett Johnson in seventeen. Just two years later, Alice found

293
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: that non consensual pornographic deep fags make up nineties six

294
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: percent of all deeps. In seventeen, a Google employees circulated

295
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: an employee rayly against the company's attempt to be more

296
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: diverse and hire more women. The next year, thousands of

297
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: Google's employees walked out after reports of sexual misiconic surface.

298
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: Other tech companies have faced similar criticisms, like Uber and

299
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: Facebook speaking of it has not been a good decide.

300
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: For Facebook, fake Russian accounts were linked with influencing the

301
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen U S election. In the u N blamed

302
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: Facebook for allowing a platform of heat speech that played

303
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: a role in the mean marginside of Rohingham Muslims, and

304
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: then Facebook admitted that the Trump connected data analysis company

305
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: Cambridge Analytica had illegally obtained and mis used the data

306
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: of millions of users. Another tech trend is the rise

307
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: of the gig economy, allowing more flexible work situations. Economists

308
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: are still unsure of the impact of this, and it

309
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 1: has come with prose for women ability to stay home

310
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: with children while working, for instance, and CON's companies taking

311
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: advantage and getting out of providing benefits. Yeah, so a

312
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: lot of these things impacts all of us, and uncertainly women.

313
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: It was hard to uh be like focus focused right

314
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: on the things for this show that are particularly pertinent,

315
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: But I feel like you can make arguments about all

316
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: of those impacting women. If we look at movies and TV.

317
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: We did have some pretty big film events over the

318
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: past decade. The Harry Potter film series came to an end,

319
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: majority of the m c U films came out, The

320
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: Hunger Games and j Law Obsession Fifty Shades of Gray.

321
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: Film historians will probably remember the is the decade of

322
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: Superheroes and Disney, which accounted for eight of the top

323
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: ten grossing films of the decade. In December, Star Wars

324
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: The Force Awakens debuted with Daisy Ridley as Ray, a

325
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: scavenger who realizes she can use the Force, and she

326
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: became a role model for girls and of course spawned

327
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: a huge backlash among a certain subset of dudes Matt

328
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: that a woman was the main character of their favorite series.

329
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: As the fandom has tried to diversify, we saw all

330
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: kinds of backlash like that Kelly Marie Tran left social

331
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: media due to bullying. Companies to see backlash for not

332
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: making enough Ray action figures are not featuring her at

333
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: all in some character sets, right, which is weird because,

334
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: as you said, the Saloween, a majority of people dressed

335
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: kids that were dressed up were this character, right, Yes,

336
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: And they also found that toy stores, we're getting parents

337
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: calling asking for Ray and they the owners were like,

338
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: well we have Kyla Ran and their parents were like, no,

339
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: that's why do you not have the major character. So

340
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: Wonder Woman became the first major studio superhero movie directed

341
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: by a woman, Patty Jenkins. It scored the largest opening

342
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: ever for a female director. After the film's success, she

343
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: negotiated a salary on par with her male counterparts clip

344
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: pop Cap, becoming the highest paid female director in history. Yes,

345
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: and as we recorded us, the trailer for Wonder Woman

346
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: four just came out. Not not using swords on this one,

347
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: huh yeah? Yeah, And I know some people are probably

348
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: I have friends who would roll my eyes at these

349
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: kinds of things. But I read an article about the

350
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: power and influence of these movies because actually a lot

351
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: of people don't see movies very often. When they do,

352
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: these are the ones they see, these big superhero ways

353
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: for better or worse, and so diversifying them and showing

354
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: different stories is actually hugely important and powerful. Um. And

355
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: as we always say, if you can see it, you

356
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: can be it. Co written by Anna Bowden. Twenty nineteens

357
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: Captain Marvel was the fourth highest grossing film of twenty

358
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: nineteen and toppled Wonder Woman as the highest grossing film

359
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: from a female director. Six of the top ten highest

360
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: grossing films since twenty ten have been directed by women.

361
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: We saw reimagining to have successful movies with an all

362
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: female cast, like Ocean's Eight and Ghostbusters. You can argue

363
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: about how good they were, but still it's seeing different stories, uh,

364
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: featuring right, different takes on the same story. I guess

365
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: with women. Um, we've seen the rise of the female

366
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: anti hero and things like Gone Girls, Sharp Objects, which

367
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: I've never seen. Um, I've seen arguments that Midge from

368
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: The Marvelous Mrs Maisel is an anti heroo. I've not

369
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: watched this show because the awkward level is so high.

370
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: It's pretty high that it makes me a little nervous, understand.

371
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 1: Katherine Bigelow became the first female director and still only

372
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: to win an Oscar for Best Picture of her film

373
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: hurt Locker in two thousand ten, the same year Meryl

374
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: Street wrote the record up for most Golden Globes. In teen,

375
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: Brenda Chapman became the first woman to win an Oscar

376
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: for Best Animated Picture for Brave. She was the first

377
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: woman to direct a feature Link Pixar film. In The

378
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: hashtag Oscar so White went viral in response to the

379
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: lack of diversity among the nominees. Moonlight became the first

380
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: film with an all black cast to win Best Picture

381
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: in seventeen, and it's one of the first to have

382
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: an l g B t Q plus story at its heart.

383
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: Herchela Ali became the first Muslim to win an acting Oscar.

384
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: Records for youngest and oldest actress nominated for Oscars were

385
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: also broken this decade. Eva du Vernay became the first

386
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: black director nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Director

387
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: in Seen. She became the first Black woman nominated for

388
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. Yeliza became the first

389
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: Indigenous American woman to be nominated for the Oscar for

390
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: Best Actress in twenty nineteen. That same year, Ruth E.

391
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: Carter was the first Black woman to win the Oscar

392
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: for Best Costume Design for her work on Black Panther

393
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: Well deserved too. In twenty eighteen, Crazy Rich Asians became

394
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: the first American movie with an all Asian cast in

395
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: twenty five years. And as a side note, we should

396
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: also mentioned the small bit of controversy in which the

397
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: only female writer left due to the title her pay

398
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: was significantly less than her male counterpart. The release of

399
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 1: get Out in seventeen opened the door for the socially

400
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: conscious thriller and earned Jordan Peel and Oscar nomination for

401
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: Best Screenplay. And horror has experienced a juvenation in this

402
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: decade with films like The Bobba dick Us, Midsummer the

403
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: Which Hereditary Raw a Quiet Place and if you'll notice,

404
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: a lot of those have like either leading ladies were

405
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: directed by women or both. So there you go, good

406
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: job and then TV TV and moving on to the

407
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: world of television. Television has experienced a meteoric shift over

408
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: the decade with the introduction of streaming services Binge Watching

409
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: and Prestige Television. This has allowed for a more inclusive catalog,

410
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: though we still have a long way to go. While

411
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: the number is still low. We saw the rise of

412
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: female show runners, which is great. Yeah, and whether you

413
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: like these shows or not to they start some conversations.

414
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: Girls on HBO, Scandal, thirty Rock, coming to an End,

415
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: Orange is the New Black, RuPaul's Drag Race, Big Little Lies, Unbelievable,

416
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: Broad City and Secure, The Mindy Project, Shrill, Hammad Stale, Crazy,

417
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: ext Girlfriend, Fleedback, Marvelous, Mrs Mazel, Pose, Queer Eye, Game

418
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: of Thrones, which launched in and became a massive culture

419
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: phenomenon and is some experts think perhaps from the last

420
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: weekly viewing television that will experience ever you think so.

421
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: Maybe Laverne Cox became the first openly transgender person nominated

422
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: for a prime time acting Emmy and this isn't TV,

423
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: but I want to include Audrey McDonald, who broke the

424
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: record for most Tony wins for performance and the first

425
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: actor to win a Tony in all four acting categories,

426
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: and since we're talking about theater, I just got a

427
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: shout out Hamilton's you Were and I sang my shot

428
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: at our holiday party. Oh you did? You sure did?

429
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: And Sam did it together, our friend Sam Viola Davis

430
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: became the first black woman to win an Emmy for

431
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: Outstanding Elite Actress in a Drama Series in Julie Wi Dry.

432
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: This broke the record for most Emmy wins for playing

433
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: the same character in The Emmy for Comedy Writing went

434
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: to Lena Ways, making her the first black woman to

435
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: win that award. A year later, Sandra O became the

436
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: first Asian woman to receive a nomination for the Lead

437
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: Actress Emmy. Poses. Billy Porter made history in twenty nineteen

438
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: when he became the first openly gay man to win

439
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: the Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama And we

440
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: should know, since we were talking about post that Janet

441
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: Muck was the first trans woman of color to be

442
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: hired as a full time series writer, as well as

443
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: having one of the largest casts of trans women of color. Yes,

444
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: and then when she directed the third episode of Disney

445
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: Plus Is the Mandalorian in twenty nineteen, Devor Child made

446
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: history becoming the first woman to direct a live action

447
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: Star Wars production, and for the upcoming you've probably already

448
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: seen it by the time you listen to this uh

449
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: Star Wars film, The Rise of Skywalker. Victoria Mahoney, who

450
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: directed the second unit, will go down as the first

451
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: female director of a live action Star Wars movie. And

452
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: she got the gig in part because Ava du Verney

453
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: gave her name and her name only to J. J.

454
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: Abrams when he asked her for recommendations. And that is

455
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: the power of women, uplifting women and just put in

456
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: their Fox News underwent a lot of scandals, a lot

457
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: of scandals, um enough so that there's now a movie

458
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, there's a lot of talk about that movie.

459
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: There is, perhaps we'll revisit it in the future. But

460
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: now we're going to talk about books, which I'm actually

461
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: really excited to talk about. While we still have so

462
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: far to go when it comes to literary representation, the

463
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 1: twenty tens gave us so many amazing books written by

464
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: women and people of color. We also saw the increased

465
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: popularity of audio books, giving people alternate methods of consuming books.

466
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,159

00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: women and sexual pleasure and the b D s M community,

474
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: not to mention all the fearmongering media stories questioning why

475
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: in the world married women soccer moms were like these books.

476
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: I remember seeing some of those. They were like, these

477
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,440

478
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,000

479
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: copies have been sold. And it's funny because novels have

480

481
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,119

00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: having rights and what that looks like when you're young

560
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: to being older and understanding, advocating for yourself and what

561
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: that could be in an industry that is mel run right.

562
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: And then Rebecca blacks Friday came out in twenty eleven.

569
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: list of other terrible things. The case was dismissed due

570
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: to the Statute of Limitations, but Kesha addressed this and

571
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: didn't stop making music, and she used those painful experiences

572
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: in her lyrics. So Adele's twenty one came out in

573

Speaker 1: the new one because I know it's gonna be good. Then,

578
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: also we have Billy Ellis, who became one of the

579
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: voices of a new generation, her whole iconic style. I

580
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: think she's making a name for herself and changing the

581
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: way pop music looks for younger rations. Yeah, the most

582
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: streamed artists of the twenty tens was sorry Anna Grande.

583
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: After a homemade bomb went off at one of her

584
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: concerts in Manchester in tween seventeen and killed two people,

585
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: she continued to tour and returned a few weeks later

586
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: to meet the victims families and perform at the benefit

587
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: concert that she helped organize, One Love Manchester. And I

588
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: just gotta say, this is being quite the decade for podcast.

589
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: So we really started it was pretty new, and now

590
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: the joke is everybody's got the obviously, people are networks

591
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: are buying it out like crazy. So let's talk about

592
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: fashion and according yeah, because neither one of us really

593
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: good at that. According to fashion experts, this decade will

594
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: be remembered as a decade of leggings at leisure and

595
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: casual wear. Yes, but I'm okay with that. I am too,

596
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: And I did want to bring that up because when

597
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if I just said twenties, it's the fashion

598
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: you think of first. You know, every decade almost has

599
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: a pretty identifiable look. I will say this decade has

600
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: made me feel really old because everything has came back

601
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 1: from my high school years and away. I literally almost

602
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: once a month I'm like I had that. I yes,

603
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: I swear, and so I feel yes, I feel like

604
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: I've lost out in getting away these clothing a b

605
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: I am nely old because it has now come back around. Yeah,

606
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I just feel like so many things have

607
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: come back though, like pieces of the eighties, pieces of

608
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: the nineties. It's all. It's all in the mix nowadays done,

609
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: never see again. Another thing about fashion is for has

610
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: virtually disappeared in a preference towards sustainability, and when it

611
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: comes to clothing has risen dramatically fast fashion is face

612
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: to backlash, with people more concerned than ever about the

613
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: ethical impact of their clothes. And then if we look

614
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: at athletics, the US women's soccer team began the decade

615
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: and the top spot and they ended it in the

616
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: same spot. Go ahead. They won two World Cups in

617
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, they won the Olympic gold medal in twelve.

618
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: Out of the one and twenty months of this decade,

619
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: this team only spent ten of them not ranked as

620
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: number one, and I you know, I love things like this.

621
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm not super into sports, but I read a lot

622
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: of articles where the author would say, this is the

623
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: most consistent sports team. They're so consistently good, so good,

624
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: so good. Money Davis became the first female pitcher to

625
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 1: win the Little League World Series. In twenty Miss Copeland

626
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 1: became the first black woman to be an American principal

627
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: at the American Ballet Theater and this year's Charlotte Nebris

628
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: is the first black ballerina to play Marie in the

629
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: New York Ballet production of The Nutcracker. Looking at the Olympics,

630
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: Missy Franklin won four Olympic gold medals and two days,

631
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: including one for the two backstroke, the first American to

632
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: win it in half a century. This is also the

633
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: assignment history. Every country was represented with female athletes. We

634
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: got to witness the power that is Simone Biles. She

635
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: closes out the decade with twenty five world medals and

636
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: nineteen gold, making her the most decorated gymnast in history.

637
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: In Colin Kaepernick and other football players and then several

638
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: athletes after the fact began taking the knee during the

639
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: national anthem to protest police brutality and systemic racism. Rhonda

640
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: Rousy was the first woman inducted into the UFC Hall

641
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: of Fame, and Serena Williams, of course, continues to dominate,

642
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: winning thirteen Grand Slams this decade and won a US

643
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: Open while pregnant. Pregnant, and then more than one d

644
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: and fifty women and girls shared testimony against USA gymnastics

645
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: doctor Larry Nasser, and he was charged with seven counts

646
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: of criminal sexual misconduct and sentenced to one hundred and

647
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: seventy five years in prison. So that is an overview

648
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: of sports, and and there are a couple of things

649
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: we wanted to touch on in celebrity just because I

650
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: know people will rite and if we don't. The first

651
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: is I a bunch of stuff with the Kardashians happened.

652
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go. They exist in they're big.

653
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: They We had two royal weddings. One was very significant

654
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: with Megan Markle, which you know has become a lot

655
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: of back and forth about race and what that looks

656
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: like in the UK as well. And then royal babies,

657
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: several of them, several of them Laverne Cox appeared on

658
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,479
Speaker 1: the cover of Time with the headline the Transgender Tipping Point.

659
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 1: Time also named turteen the best year for women since

660
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: the Dawn of Chime. I mean a lot of those books,

661
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 1: the books we mentioned came out that year, so Women

662
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: as Scandals, b List Celebrities and Operation Varsity Blues and

663
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: A delve and of course Elizabeth Holmes of Their Nose. Yeah,

664
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: probably a lot more. We could, oh my goodness, several more,

665
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: but would you gonna leave it because we have a

666
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: lot more stuff to talk about when it comes to politics.

667
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: But first we have one more quick break forward from

668
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: our sponsor, and we're back, Thank you sponsor, and we

669
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: are back with some some of a lot discussion around politics,

670
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: because yes, this has been a decade of a lot

671
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: of change. In April, after Toronto police constable told women

672
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: to quote stop dressing like sluts if they didn't want

673
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: to be sexually assaulted, three thousand women took to the

674
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: Toronto streets so I'm not wearing much of anything and

675
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: proudly calling themselves slats and the inaugural slat Walk. SlutWalk

676
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: was the brainchild of Sonia Barnett and Heather Jarvis and

677
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: its spread to Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, and the

678
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: United States. It also helped bring conversations around slut shaming

679
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: and victim blaming into the mainstream. So also in two

680
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: thousand eleven, the Occupy Wall Street movement got started. Then

681
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: the hashtag free the Nipple movement. I actually did forget

682
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: about this. We started in two thousand twelve as filmmaker

683
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: Lena Esco prepared to work on her documentary highlighting the

684
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: double standards around women's bodies and toplessness. This resulted in

685
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: several high profile legal battles with social platforms like Facebook

686
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: and Instagram, which is still a thing. Black Lives Matter

687
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: was founded in two thousand and thirteen after George Zimmerman

688
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: was acquitted, and we could talk a little more about that.

689
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: As he's trying to sue people because he is a jerk,

690
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying that nicely. In fourteen, Columbia student Emma Soakowitz

691
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: started her art piece Mattress Performance Carried that Weight in

692
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: response to a fellow student she alleged had raped her

693
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: in her dorm, not being found guilty by the school.

694
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: It made headlines across the country and stood the conversation

695
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: around sexual assault on college campuses, which is still a

696
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: conversation that we need to be having because policies continue

697
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: to be back and forth, back and forth with our

698
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: current administration. Yes, on, the United States legalized gay marriage.

699
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: And then, of course we have the election, which was brutal. Um.

700
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: So much sexism and racism was dredged up and discussed.

701
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: The grab them by the pussy comment resurfaced, numerous allegations

702
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: of sexual assault against Donald Trump came out, but we're

703
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: ignored or dismissed as boys will be boys and or

704
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: women are opportunistic liars. He ran on issues like defunding

705
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: Planned parenthood, building a wall, imposing a global gag rule. Um.

706
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: And this is the rule that prevents money from family

707
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: planning going to any non governmental organization that provides abortion services.

708
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: This was a bitter, bitter, bitter election that exposed so

709
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,479
Speaker 1: much of the dark side of this country. Despite winning

710
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: the popular vote by almost three million votes, the first

711
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: female candidate of a major US political party, Hillary Clinton,

712
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: lost to Donald Trump. And in the wake, we immediately

713
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: saw the administration attempt to pass the Muslim Bland attack

714
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: on transgender rights, an attack on women's reproductive health immigrants.

715
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: They put Neil Gorsch on the Supreme Court and later

716
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: nominated Brett Kavanaugh, who, despite being incredibly accused of sexual

717
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,959
Speaker 1: assault by Dr Christine Blaisie Ford and others and also

718
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: responding completely inappropriately, his nomination was successful. The GOP also

719
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: supported the candidacy of Roy Moore, despite several allegations of

720
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: him attempted sexual assault against miners. Are just general creepy

721
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: nurse around miners and all yeah, all around gross behavior.

722
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: He did not win, but the house of at least

723
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: one of his accusers was burned down in response to

724
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: her speaking out. And I just remembered, it feels like

725
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: so long ago, but that rush to get I U

726
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: d s after Oh yeah, people made new appointments trying

727
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: to get that done before I got shut down. And

728
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: then personally, there's a slew of videos that made me

729
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: very sad um that they were made back when everyone

730
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: was so certain that Clinton is gonna win, and I

731
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: never felt that certainty. But it is still really depressing.

732
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: And in response to the twenty sixteen election, millions of

733
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: women showed up in Washington, d C. In various cities

734
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: across the country. In January twenty seventeen for the Women's March,

735
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: and so many turned up it became the largest single

736
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: day protests in US history. And then, of course hashtag

737
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: met here took off after seventeen New York Times article

738
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 1: detailed the behavior of Harvey Weinstein, and so many women

739
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: began sharing their stories in its wake. To this day,

740
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: the hashtag has been tweeted over nineteen million times. And

741
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: as always, want to shout out black activists Toronto Burke

742
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: who originally had the idea, and this whole thing went

743
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 1: on to inspire times up in when three public figures

744
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: came together and more black to express solidarity with sexual

745
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: assault survivors. The impact of it is definitely up for debate,

746
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: but at least things are being talked about right, allowed

747
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: for conversations about gray areas like the uzzies on Sorry

748
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: story or the short story cat person um. As of

749
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: recording this day, we just found out unfortunately Weinstein reached

750
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: a settlement of twenty five million dollars with his accusers

751
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: and will not serve jail time. Yeah, that's that's what

752
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 1: that takes. Then, the tragic shootings at Parkland Stillman Douglas

753
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: High School spark conversations around in sales or involuntary celibates,

754
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: which we've talked about before on the show. Trump signed

755
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: Foster Slash Sesta into law in April eighteen, which is

756
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: an anti sex trafficking bill that was hugely detrimental to

757
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: sex workers and you can see our past episode on

758
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: it for more info and as in fact, it's right

759
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: now being discussed within the Democratic platform. I know a

760
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: few people have brought that up as being very very

761
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: harmful for sex workers and it's being brought back up

762
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: as a debate issue. And then things were happening outside

763
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: of the US. Two shocker, Ireland voted to overturn an

764
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: abortion ban in twenty een. We also did an episode

765
00:43:56,040 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: on that Brexit, which is a continuing mess for more

766
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: child bride Loveness, Massouru and Rovemba so Pazzi went to

767
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: Zimbabwe's Constitutional Court in twenty sixteen and one. When the

768
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: court ruled no one under the age of eighteen can

769
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,520

Speaker 1: leader ever. And I know there's a bunch of other

776
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: things we could touch on. It's a big world out there.

784
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: She flat out scared conservative dudes who don't want to

785
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: do anything about climate change, and they spread so many

786
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories about her. And just to shout out the

787
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: other young ones out there who are fighting against this

788
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: as well, a lot of Indigenous h young people are

789
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:22,920

791
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: with young people right now and being so active and

792
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: fighting for things that matter, and speaking of climate change.

793
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: We have seen a handful of devastating natural disasters this year,

794
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: beginning with the earthquake in Haiti almost two or fifty

795
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 1: people died. And then there were those hurricanes Sandy Harvey

796
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: or Memoria Michael I forgot about Michael um. There were

797
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,440

801
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: saw the rise of public displays of white supremacism and

802
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: anti semitism. And these are obviously all feminist issues that

803
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: we need to be talking about more and more because

804
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: the intersectionality of it all and the whole when it

805
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: comes to terrorism and coming at and when we talk

806
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: about mass shootings and we talk about shootings and uh

807
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: DV situations or domestic violent situations, is a level of

808
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: terrorism that happens that we need to be talking more

811
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: We're not hitting everything, not at all by any means.

812
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: But these are just some prominent examples, and now, yes,

813
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: we're in the midst of an impeachment here in the

814
