1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie in Samita and welcome to stuff

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: I'll never told your production of I Heart Radio. Another month,

3
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: another update, because news doesn't stop, surprise, surprise, and it

4
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: seems to be happening a lot of things happening very quickly.

5
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, I think things are changing very quickly,

6
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: and so therefore we've got to keep up. We do.

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: And for our March Update edition, we are going to

8
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: touch briefly on things around sexual assault and death. So

9
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: quick trigger warning there, and we're gonna timestamp it because

10
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: things are happening so rapidly, and just so we're all

11
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: on the same page here. If you listen to this

12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: and you're thinking what it is March tenth as we

13
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: record this, right and obviously there's a lot happening with

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: politics right now, um, and so if you haven't been

15
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: keeping up at this time, Warren, Booker, Buddha, Judge, Klobuchar,

16
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: and Bloomberg have all dropped out of the Democratic primaries,

17
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: leaving Sanders and Biden at the helm. And right now

18
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: we know that Buddha, Judge, Booker, and Harris have all

19
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: endorsed Biden with the idea that he's the most moderate

20
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: quote unquote or more likely to be elected, right, and

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: we didn't want to focus specifically on Elizabeth Warren dropping

22
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: out and narrative that we heard a lot from pundits

23
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: and from other politicians that she was mean or angry,

24
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: and so prior to her dropping out, there was a

25
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: lot of talk about the erasure of Elizabeth Warren in

26
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: this presidential race, especially as it progressed um and how

27
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: that in part led to her dropping out. And this

28
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: was something I definitely noticed for sure. She wasn't even

29
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: mentioned and handful of national polls about presidential matchups, despite

30
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: finishing before some of the other male candidates included in

31
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: those matchups. Her campaign even addressed it in a message

32
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: to supporters, and the viral hashtag president Warren started trending,

33
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: with supporters questioning the lack of coverage on her. And yes,

34
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: there are plenty of factors at play here. As always,

35
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: it's hard to just point to one single thing in

36
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: these complex systems, but certainly her gender was one of

37
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: the things at play. There was the assumption that she

38
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: can't win, even though we know Hillary Clinton won the

39
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: popular vote, record numbers of women winning in mid terms,

40
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: and Warren herself having a record of winning races. And

41
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: as I typed this, which I think was two weeks ago,

42
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: I started typing this, so at the time I didn't

43
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: know this was gonna happen, right, But as I typed it,

44
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: the hashtag Warren drop out was trending on Twitter, and

45
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: of course she did. As you listen to this, she

46
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: has left the race. Yeah, after winning zero stays on

47
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: Super Tuesday, which t l d R look at me,

48
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm trendy. Is when Americans in a handful of the

49
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: states can vote in the presidential primary Elizabeth Warren and

50
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: now she was going to drop out and exit polls me.

51
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: He said basically, quote I'd vote for a woman, just

52
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: not one. Sounds familiar, very familier um. And when asked

53
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: about the role of sexism in the race, she said,

54
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: if you say yeah, there was sexism in this race,

55
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: everyone says winer. If you say no, there were no sexism.

56
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: But a Brazilian women think, what planet do you live on?

57
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: And she joked about her electability on SNL and a

58
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: lot of late night monologues about her campaign mistake of

59
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: quote not having a penis. Yeah, yeah, I saw. I

60
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: saw a lot of jokes about that following her dropping

61
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: out of the race, An exit poll a while back

62
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: found that only four percent of the respondence, and that

63
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: poll rated Warren as likable the mysterious likable, and they

64
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: gave Kamala Harris five person it Wow. Meanwhile, both Joe

65
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: Biden and Bernie Sanders poll over twenty cents likability, despite

66
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: a history of getting elected again. For both of these women,

67
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: the electability question when posed towards women who have this

68
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: history of being elected but told no woman can never win,

69
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: just baffles. Trump commented about war and dropping out that

70
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: she was mean and people don't like her, that they

71
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: want a person like me. I'm not mean, and then

72
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: he got up abruptly and just left. And yeah, these

73
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: critiques are something we're unfortunately very familiar with, it being

74
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: too mean, too angry. In Warren's case, especially towards Bloomberg

75
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: in particular, Oh no, she was mean, doing right, I

76
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: will say not to like people were upset that she

77
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: was mean, because you know, no woman should be mean ever,

78
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: but most people were like, yeah, he kind of deserved it.

79
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: Did not hold back, did not hold back Comen in

80
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: this time frame, people are also now, and I say

81
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: now as in the last few days as she has

82
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: exited the race, people are now angry that she's not

83
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: endorsed anyone, that she was fake and didn't care about

84
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: the bigger picture and was divisive and selfish quote and

85
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: even pointing to the fact that her being on shows

86
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: like S and now is selfish and how dare she

87
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: do something besides campaigning after she was repeatedly scolded for

88
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: not dropping out immediately, which I find tiresome I do

89
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: as well, And speaking of Bloomberg kind of related. We

90
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: didn't want to talk about the whole issue of the

91
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: NDIA and accusers UM, and I did want to touch

92
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: on this because it's relevant. After a series of gaffs,

93
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: news pundit Chris Matthews resigned and one of these gaffs

94
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 1: that recently caught her eye has to do with Bloomberg

95
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: and these India's. In the wake of the most recent

96
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: democratic to bait, Elizabeth Warren sat down with Chris Matthews

97
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: and he asked about these India's and he grilled around

98
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: the India and UM the case she cited during the debate,

99
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: asking her you believe that the former mayor of New

100
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: York said that to a pregnant employee, to which Warren replied,

101
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: well a pregnant employee, Shure said he did, why shouldn't

102
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: I believe her? Matthews looked visually flaw mixed at having

103
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: the question flips right. Their conversation continued, with Warren discussing

104
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: pregnancy discrimination and mistrusts of women, culminating in Matthew's demanding

105
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: why would he Bloomberg lie just to protect himself? And

106
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: Warren said, yeah, why would she lie? The look on

107
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: his face it was just total shock and bewilderment, like

108
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: it never literally never occurred to him that that could

109
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: be the case. And this in the face of so

110
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: many batterns, sworn testimony a witness, and Bloomberg's telling history

111
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: right and again about the Indias and his refusal to

112
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: release people from the d a s, which makes you

113
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: question a lot in itself. Um and even in the debate,

114
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: gil Kane asked Warren what proof she had, and Warren

115
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: responded incompletely her words, but she was being tweated as

116
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: though she made the allegation, and the burden of proof

117
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: is on her again, this is public information, right, reminder,

118
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: And somehow I missed this tidbit from Yes, I did

119
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: none know it is Chris Matthews just got on camera, oh,

120
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: joking about slipping Hillary Clinton quote that Bill Cosby pill

121
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: I brought with me. Oh yeah, Oh my gosh, not

122
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: creepy at all. This has gotten me thinking a lot

123
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: about women and lying and perceptions of women and lying,

124
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: and I really want to do a whole episode on it,

125
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: and the default assumption that women must be lying, especially

126
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: in the case of if a man it's a he said,

127
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: she said, she must be lying. And I recently had

128
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: a major panic attack a couple of weeks ago about

129
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: everyone thinking that I'm a liar and no one believing me,

130
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: especially if a man's involved, And it freaked me out right,

131
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: and it's something I've I know, we all hear that

132
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: we talked about on the show all the time, but

133
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: just having that moment of that, people are just going

134
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: to kind of assume, oh, yeah, she's the liar, she

135
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: must be So just recently, and on a kind related

136
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: thing about lying, Duffy released in a statement about her

137
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: being gone from the music world for a while now,

138
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: in which she publicly stated that she had been raped.

139
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: She had been kidnapped and raped and assaulted and that's

140
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: why she's been gone, and she's been ruminating some things,

141
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: and she finally had to sit down an interview where

142
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: she talked about it, and the many comments of critics saying, yeah,

143
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: but why did you wait till now? Are you sure

144
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: this is a one word against another person, like just

145
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: going after this musician who all she really said, she

146
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: didn't say anything about who it was in that statement,

147
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: She didn't say anything about details that she just you know,

148
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: needed time, And this is why she's been gone, and

149
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: she's been working through some things, and people who are

150
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: attacking her on her social media saying pretty much calling

151
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: her out as a liar, saying prove it. And it's

152
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: like if she has been gone, she has been obviously

153
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: gone from social media and the music scene. And she

154
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: comes back with this is why. Why is the first

155
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: reaction from everyone to be like, you're a liar unless

156
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: you tell show us video essentially, but not even that

157
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: show us as if we had been there, then we're

158
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: not going to believe you. How dare you ruin a

159
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: person's life whose name was not mentioned at that point

160
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: in time? And I'm speaking of I guess believing and

161
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: trusting women, And yes, Again, we know some people don't

162
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: love our conversations on stuff like this, but the current

163
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: state of reproductive rights is something that we have to

164
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: be following and look at today. So do medical services.

165
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: LLC versus Russo, which is currently in the Supreme Court,

166
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: which is a new case created by the state of

167
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: Louisiana which requires doctors performing abortions to have admission privileges

168
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: at a state authorized hospital within thirty miles or forty

169
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: eight kilometers of the abortion clinic, as in Texas, which

170
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: they tried to do this as well with the Supreme

171
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: Court case Whole Women's Health versus Hello Stet which was

172
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: struck down as unconstitutional. In of course, we know some

173
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: things have changed, but the same law limits the care

174
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: to one single doctor in the state as other doctors

175
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: had not yet gained admission privileges or are outside the

176
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: given range, which makes it really difficult to get these

177
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: types of services and could be a big conversation of

178
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: the threat of Roe versus Wade. As of now, the

179
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: decision has not been made yet, but it is a

180
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: very tense moment of what is happening with the state

181
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: of yeah Row versus Wade, with the argument seemingly looking

182
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: kind of like the previous case of whole women's health,

183
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: but now with two brand new conservative justices on the bench,

184
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: one who made a name for himself with the anti

185
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: abortion stances and loving beer and having tantient and being

186
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: angry and what was his friend's name, squeeze. I think

187
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: it might anyway sad, but yes, we must find humor

188
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: where we can. We can, so if you're taking note

189
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: on Ginsburg and Sodomaya have been key justices in opening

190
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: up the real dialogue behind the reasoning of this Louisiana law,

191
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: and at this point it seems Justice John Roberts may

192
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: be the one to make the overall decision. So that's

193
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: kind of an overview of what's happening in our very

194
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: tumultuous political world right now. But there are other things happening.

195
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: But first we're gonna get into a quick break for

196
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: a word from our sponsor, and we're back, Thank you sponsor,

197
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: And we're back with some other relevant stories that have

198
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: happened recently are continuing to happen. Just to add to

199
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: our updates about Harvey Weinstein, he has been sentenced and

200
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: surprisingly twenty three years. I'm not gonna lie. I did

201
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: not expect that. I didn't either. I honestly thought that

202
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: it would be so sure that it wouldn't. It would

203
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: just be he would just be at home. I didn't

204
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: think anything was gonna happen for one. But it isn't

205
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: a weird place of feeling like not enough right right,

206
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: that's still like, yes, there's justice, and that he actually

207
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: got a longer sentence than expected, but not as long

208
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: as should be because he also didn't they didn't find

209
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: him guilty for a chunk of the charges that was

210
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: filed against him. I'm really interested to see what would

211
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: happen in l A. However, it was reported that he

212
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: had a mild heart attack after the sentencing and that

213
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: he is in the infirmary at Rikers. But I don't

214
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: think I've seen anything else on it, and on that also,

215
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: just the many of celebrities and the many women who

216
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: have been a part of this conversation about Weinstein have

217
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: made comments, including Mayor Servina, who said twenty three years.

218
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to twenty three years in

219
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: prison for his crimes of rape and sexual assault. I

220
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: literally cried tears of amazement and gratitude that the justice

221
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: system has worked on behalf of all of his victims today.

222
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: Rosie Perez also said, twenty three years convicted and sentenced,

223
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: today the world shifted that much more for justice. May

224
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: my dear friend Annabella Sciarra and all those brave women

225
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: continue to heal and finally find some peace with this

226
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: victory hashtag Harvey Weinstein is guilty And if you remember,

227
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: she actually um was a character witness for Annabella at

228
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: the trial. Rose McGowan also tweeted, who was one of

229
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: the big voices during this time? Let us be free?

230
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: So there is some small bit of justice, but again

231
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of like still, yeah, there's still a little

232
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: bit of that, but it wasn't enough, um, in comparison

233
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: to the many of lives that he is harmed. But hey,

234
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: we'll take the justice where we can, right right, And

235
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: with that, Unfortunately this is a little more of a downer,

236
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: but we could not go on and not talk about

237
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: the transgender Puerto Rican woman murdered for using the women's bathroom.

238
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: Alexa Ruiz was killed a few hours after someone called

239
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: the police on her for using a woman's bathroom at

240
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: a fast food restaurant. A video was uploaded and if

241
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: you do decide to watch it or find it, it

242
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: is really heartbreaking and triggering. So just to put that

243
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: out there, it showed her being targeted and and they

244
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: assumed was when she was murdered. So far this year,

245
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: there's already been two deaths that's just been reported, and

246
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: that's again reported that we know of that was specific

247
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: to being transphobic deaths. And I'm and that's again what's

248
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: being reported out there. Uh, And this was again when

249
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: we were researching this, what two weeks ago, UM. And

250
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: then on top of that, last year, the twenty six

251
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: deaths of UM transgender or gender nonconforming people in the

252
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: US due to violence, and a majority of them being

253
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: made up of black trans women and people of color.

254
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,119
Speaker 1: So I think it's just really important that we recognize

255
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: the tragedies of what is happening and the fact that

256
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: the rights of these people are being ignored and oftentimes dismissed,

257
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: UM with the fact that they are transgender originder not

258
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: conforming and unfortunately having these moments, which is super sad

259
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry that is super sad, but it's a reality,

260
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: and we recognize it as a reality and then have

261
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: a conversation and at least talk about it and mourn

262
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,479
Speaker 1: with the community that this is such a horrific, horrific,

263
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: painful part of their lives. And I think we can't

264
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: ignore that and we can't pretend it's not happening just

265
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: because we were sad. Sorry. Yes, absolutely, and that's um

266
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: an episode we want to do in the future. And

267
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: UM if if anyone listening feels like they have any

268
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: good connections or someone we should talk to you about that,

269
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: please send them our way. UM. But in the meantime,

270
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: we did want to touch on International Women's Day because

271
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: that as a couple of days ago as we record

272
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: this on March eight, the year's theme was I Am

273
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: a Generation Equality, Realizing Women's Rights. Some marches across the

274
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: world were met with violence, like in Pakistan with men

275
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: reportedly angry by the marches slogan my body, My Choice,

276
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: and there was violence with the march in Kouragistan and

277
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: in Turkey and Chile there were confrontations with the police

278
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: and these marches. Several marches were canceled because of concerns

279
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: around COVID nineteen slash coronavirus, but one one pictured I

280
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: found that I really loved as In Paris, the march

281
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: went on as planned, with several women dressed as Rosie

282
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: the Riveter, but with yellow cleaning gloves actually looked really good.

283
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: In Mexico, the day was followed by a women's strike

284
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: in protests of the violence and sexual faced by women.

285
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: According to you government stats in that country, ten women

286
00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: are killed a day in Mexico, so that is another

287
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: quite a huge problem I to be talking about, um

288
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: if we move on to culture, some things that are

289
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: happening in the entertainment world. A couple of weeks ago,

290
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: an opinion piece in New York Times called I Don't

291
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: Want to be the strong female lead, written by Britt Marling,

292
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: went viral. I can always tell when something goes viral,

293
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: and in our kind of wheelhouse, because I'm not on

294
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: social media that often, but all of a sudden, I'll

295
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: get twenty text have you read this? And then we'll

296
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: be at work and we'll get a bunch of messages

297
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: you should talk about this, And one was this article,

298
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: and she articulated a lot of things I've been grappling

299
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: with recently and have even tried to say on this show.

300
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: But I don't think I said it as as simply

301
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: as she did. When it comes to what we mean

302
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: when we say strong female lead, and often what we

303
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: mean is women with masculine traits, So their stoic, violent, angry,

304
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: feminine coated traits are perhaps seeing in makeup or clothes,

305
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: but other than that, when it comes to a strong

306
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: female lead are erased. That's a generalization. It's not in everything,

307
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: of course, but that has been something I've struggled with,

308
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: where when I hear, oh, it's a strong female lead,

309
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: and then you go and essentially violence, that is really

310
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: what it means. And I'm being loud, yeah, are you

311
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: minutive for some reason? That's it is volatile. It's these

312
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: things we associate with men. And that's fine, Like there's

313
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: a space for that to exist, right absolutely, But it's

314
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: I struggle to think of a strong female lead that

315
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: is really feminine. And I do think that is changing.

316
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: We're seeing some versions of that, but we need to continue, right,

317
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: you can be there's plenty of feminine strengths. I don't

318
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: know why we have to dismiss them all the time.

319
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: Well I do, but it's I'm glad it's changing, and

320
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: it's changing for the better. Oh. And then, unfortunately, in

321
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: the news of why the hell is this happening, the

322
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: lawsuit filed for the US women's soccer team for equal pay.

323
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: The employers of the U S women's national team argued

324
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: recently that the team should not receive the same pay

325
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: as a men's team because, quote, the job of men's

326
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: national team player carries more responsibility within US Soccer than

327
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: the job of a woman's national team player, and there

328
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: was an indisputable science that women biologically were less skilled

329
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: than men, so therefore should be paid less, even to

330
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: the extent of questioning the female athletes about how strong

331
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: they were or how fast slash slow they were in

332
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: comparison to the men. Wow, oh yeah, how many have

333
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: they want? Again, those indisputable science. In the beyond infuriating

334
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: a nuances of this lawsuit, apparently trying to change the narrative,

335
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: the US Soccer president tried to claim they sent an

336
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: offer with the equal pay structure of men this year,

337
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: but it was from twenty eleven, right, Yeah, And just

338
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: a reminder, the US women's team has made more of

339
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: a profit since and the men's team. We've talked about

340
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: this before. Yeah, And as international women's day was March eighth.

341
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: The event she believes Cup was held from March five

342
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: to eleventh. And this is an event hosted in the

343
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: US for many of the amazing female athletes in the

344
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: soccer community. Joining the US are the teams from England,

345
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: Japan and Spain. Yeah, and while we're speaking on the

346
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: subject of sports, a huge shoutout and congrats to Heaven

347
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: Fitch from Ashboro, North Carolina, who, as she put it,

348
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: and we would absolutely agree, dominated in her state division,

349
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 1: becoming the first female to win an individual title in

350
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: wrestling in high school wrestling and garnered most Outstanding Wrestler

351
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: award in that division. So shout out as she has

352
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: become an icon for so many Yeah, congrats, that's awesome.

353
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: And we do you have not one, but two tampon updates. Yes,

354
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: so first Germany, recently the tampon book by a startup

355
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: focused on sanitary products called The Female Company, That's what

356
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: the startup is called, debuted in protest to Germany's tax

357
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: on tampons under the umbrella of luxury goods, books are

358
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: taxed at five per cent. If you're curious. Inside the

359
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: cover of this book, readers will find fifteen tampons and

360
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: the book is priced at little over three euros. So

361
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: the first run of it sold out in one day,

362
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: the second sold out in one week. This was a

363
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: part of a push to educate people about the tampon

364
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: tax and pressuring the government to lower that tax. And

365
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: if you're rendering it is actually a book as well.

366
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: The plot traces administruation from now all the way back

367
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: to biblical times. And this is a really interesting take

368
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: on that whole conversation around the tampon tax, because the

369
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: fact that books are tax at a lower reads than tampons,

370
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: and the fact that it's sold out so quickly. And

371
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: I would assume some of that is novelty, but I

372
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: would assume some of it is it's cheaper to buy

373
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: the book tampons. Um is that going to be on

374
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: our future book club list? You know? It certainly could

375
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: be saying. So. Meanwhile, Scottish Parliament past the Period Products

376
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: Free Provision Scotland Bill in February twenty the first of

377
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: three steps to becoming law and making Scotland the first

378
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: country to offer free sanitary products to those need woo

379
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: and this following another first, the adoption of making free

380
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: tampons and pads available in schools and universities. Alice Johnstone,

381
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: a member of parliament, said, why is it in twenty

382
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: twenty that toilet paper is seen as a necessity but

383
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: period products aren't. This is so often characterized as a

384
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: woman's issue, but it's not. It is a social justice

385
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: issue and equalities issue and a rights issue. She said.

386
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: It is estimated that a woman will over her lifetime

387
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: has been approximately five thousand pounds on period products. Being

388
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: financially penalized for a natural bodily function is not equitable

389
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: or just being unable to afford or access period products

390
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: denies women access to education, work, sports, and so much

391
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: more true true, So this is this is the first

392
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: and three steps. I obviously perhaps I'm not super familiar

393
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: with how Scottish Parliament works, but so this is a

394
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: big it's a big step, but they do have two

395
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: more steps before it becomes law, so we'll be keeping

396
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 1: an eye on that. Their European Union has avowed that

397
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 1: period taxes will be phased out by two and just

398
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: to note, some money for period taxes does go to

399
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: charities and organizations based on helping women, so that is

400
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: something that will need to be addressed for sure. And

401
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: then finally, I want to talk about the dictionary. You.

402
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 1: I'm so excited about this because you all know I

403
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: love language, and there's language news. Yes, because the Oxford

404
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: English Dictionary recently got called out for their sexes language

405
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: and the definition of women are specifically the synonyms included okay,

406
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: here you go, are you ready? Ready? Bitch, made peace,

407
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: bit mayor baggage and in the similar words section popsy, chick, bent,

408
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: WIFEI and which examples of usage include god women, will

409
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: you just listen? Yeah? Yeah. Meanwhile, one of the definitions

410
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: of man reads a person with the qualities associated with males,

411
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: such as bravery, spirit, our toughness. So a little different there. Yeah.

412
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: A petition calling for the Oxford English Dictionary to change

413
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: the definition has over thirty two thousand signatures. When I

414
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: first wrote this, it was thirty thousand, Now it's thirty two.

415
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: This is important too because Apple and Google use the

416
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: Oxford English Dictionary as their source, so this impact search results.

417
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: That's huge. I'm going to say, the first person that

418
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: calls me a piece is gonna get smack in the face.

419
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: We don't condone violence, but don't we also don't calling

420
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: anyone a piece. This is the thing. Um. When you

421
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: hear it, you think, surely, nah, surely this can't be

422
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: true in our modern time. Like it almost seems like

423
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: an urban dictionary level, right right, I mean, we don't

424
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: even use most of these words anymore. Or mayor. You

425
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: don't want to be called a mayor have bent a wife? Popsy?

426
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I'm gonna call you a popsy

427
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: because that's just fun. I've never heard that popsy. That

428
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: sounds like it. That's a Transatlantic like a character. She's

429
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: a spitfire and a detective movie. Well, I am very

430
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: excited to see where this goes and to see what

431
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: the if they do update it, which they absolutely should,

432
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: would recommend, would recommend, Yes, what words are they're gonna

433
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: update it with? M We will see exciting language times

434
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: we live in. All right, Well, that's all I have

435
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: to say about language for now. But we do have

436
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: some personal updates we wanted to share with you listeners.

437
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: But first we have one more quick break for word

438
00:26:48,480 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: from our sponsor, and we're back. Thank you sponsor, and

439
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: as you right now, especially if you follow us on

440
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: social media. Samantha and I have been on some trips recently.

441
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: It's true. It's true. So Samantha, you went to Orlando.

442
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: I did go to Orlando without you. Felt really really odd.

443
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: I even made a statement. So we had to do

444
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: a panel with Holly from the Few miss in History

445
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: class and Ease from This Day in History Class, as

446
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: well as Popular and of course our segment Feminist First,

447
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: and also with Anna Hasnia from Ethnically Ambiguous and produces

448
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: like ten thousand shows over in l A. We all

449
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: got to sit down and have a keynote with Jessica

450
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: from She Podcasts, who was fantastic and I have a

451
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: big conversation. But while we were there, I also did

452
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: some interviews with several of the women who are attending

453
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: the festival Podfest, which I think I forgot to say. So, yeah,

454
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: we didn't go on us which is a conference for

455
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: media podcasters or those who want to be involved in podcasting,

456
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: and so it was really really interesting. I will say

457
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: when we were on the panel, I did talk about

458
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: how you abandoned me and I felt very alone and scared.

459
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: You're without your work life. That exactly what was what

460
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: I said. I was like, my work wife is not here.

461
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm very upset with her because she said Montreal. We'll

462
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: talk about that in him and the bitterness I carry,

463
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: but it's okay. But yeah, it was really fun and

464
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: the people were there were super amazing. Um. I got

465
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: to meet several of those who are up and coming

466
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: in podcasting world. I got a few T shirts? How many?

467
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: I only got three this time? Well, I got all

468
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: the ones that were available except for a couple. Samantha

469
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: and I listeners are notorious free T shirt collectors. They

470
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: recognize as that podcast they did in this time, and

471
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: I think it was you because it was also too

472
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: close back to back SIRL friends, but this one they did,

473
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: they were the one that recognized you. Um ran out

474
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: of to s by the time I got him. So

475
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: I got a Fannie pack from them. Oh I'm actually

476
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: wearing that T shirt right and you? Well, so did

477
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: you have a good time? I did? It was nice.

478
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: Um it was very very sunny, which was delightful because

479
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: I have not seen the song since we came back

480
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: from l A. Essentially it's been raining for literally forever

481
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: and literally forever. But yeah, so I did get to

482
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: interview several old women who were attending or a part

483
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: of it, And I'm really excited to do that as

484
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: an episode because we just talked about how this new medium,

485
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: because we've talked about it before, I know it was

486
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: one of the things that you and I talk often

487
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 1: about empowering women. And since we are women podcasters talking

488
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: to women who are interested in doing this, talking to

489
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: those who identify as female or film and those who

490
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: are non binary to become a part of this UH community,

491
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: how important it is that we bring in as many

492
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: people to this new medium that does can make a profit,

493
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: but also reaches out and gives you a voice. Right,

494
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: It's very important to us. So I'm glad if I

495
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: couldn't have been there that you were holding the sminty torch. Yes,

496
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: because while you were enjoying your son in Montreal, where

497
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: it was no joke, ten degrees fair Knight one day,

498
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: but then it warmed upisode was a generally thirty degrees

499
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 1: kind of situation. Um, it did snow. There was so

500
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: there was so much snow on the ground, just feet

501
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: and feet and feet of it. Really, yeah, see that

502
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: when you send me that picture, I'm like, I'm okay,

503
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 1: I was trying to make you feel better. Whatever, I

504
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: was still a little better that I wasn't invited and

505
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: loved as you. But it's okay, right there, So I

506
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: guess the back check to explain why in the world

507
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: I was in Montreal. You may remember from our episode

508
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago on Women in Puppetry that

509
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: our guest Louise Laplant invited me to the fifteen edition

510
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: of the Castilier Festival in Montreal. And this happens a

511
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: lot where it's it's I kind of assume it's similar

512
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: to the conversations that you end with a polite Oh, yes,

513
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: we'll definitely hang out again, but you know, in the

514
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: back of your head, probably right. But she totally followed through.

515
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 1: So I went to Canada for five days and I

516
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: saw over a dozen shows puppet shows. This festival perhaps

517
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: obviously is focused on puppetry, right um, and I had

518
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: an amazing time and I met so many amazing women.

519
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: I would say it was definitely predominantly women. Did you

520
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: also go for the bagel? You know what? I missed

521
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: that bagel thing? Did you? Because, as I've said before

522
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: on this show, I time has lost all meaning to me,

523
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: and I thought that the bagel thing. So there was

524
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: also an invitation since I am on a food podcast

525
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: as well, to come and have smoked salmon, and Montreal

526
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: has their own type of bagel. Right. Um, And that

527
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: was the evening before the festival started. I thought it

528
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: was on the last evening, so I stayed an entire

529
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: night after everyone laugh. I was by myself in Montreal

530
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: and very sad that I didn't get to try all

531
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: of the salmon. I did try it on my own,

532
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it wasn't as good as. Um what

533
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: Louise and her sister throwze this party before the festival

534
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: every year. Um. She Louise is right here now. She

535
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: I love her. She was fantastic. I thought we wanted

536
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: apparently apparently maybe next time. Um. And my favorite show

537
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: that I saw was one that used these tiny little

538
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: figurines to tell the story of a difficult journey of

539
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: a group of refugees that plays out on the performer's bodies.

540
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: So it really got me thinking about how we objectify

541
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: people and like the fact that it was playing out

542
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: on them. It was really good. It was really good.

543
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: There was also a puppet made of ice that was

544
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: the whole playing There was like a time constraint of

545
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: it's melting. Um, so that makes me nervous. Well, I

546
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: think that was part of the whole thing, part of

547
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: the whole thing. If anyone's curious about that or any

548
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: other show as I saw, because I did see a

549
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: lot could keep going, UM, please email us happy to share. Also,

550
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: it sounds like we might be speaking at Dragon conn

551
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: On about where in pubpetry you want to be speaking

552
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: about that, right, Not probably me, but we'll see thot like,

553
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: I know we're doing something, but that's not our panel,

554
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: is it. No? Yeah, our panels gonna be a little different,

555
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 1: I think if we have one. If we have this

556
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: is all in the works, but exciting times, exciting times,

557
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: UM and I did want to put in there. It

558
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: was really interesting to hear perspectives from people outside the

559
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: United States about the elections happening. That's so one thing

560
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: about the social media Twitter world, when you have people

561
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: talking about the like what's going on? Why are you're

562
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: doing this? Yeah? People, because they were a handful of Americans,

563
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: but it was mostly not Americans at the at this festival,

564
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: at least in the group of people I was with

565
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: UM and people would ask me questions like, oh my god,

566
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: what is it like over there, are you scared? It's

567
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: not all of us? I swear? Um, So that was interesting, yes,

568
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: And then we wanted to include in here, Um we

569
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: should probably say spoiler warning. Yeah, well I think it

570
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: would be mostly spoiler free. But if you're worried at

571
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: all about spoilers of spoilers of Birds of Prey the

572
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: movie and the fantabulous emancipation of Harley Quinn, you might

573
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: want to shut it off now, because we did want

574
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: to give our brief review on it, since we did

575
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: a whole episode on it about a month back when

576
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: it came out, and I loved it. I thought it

577
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: was super fun and it was really colorful and visually stimulating.

578
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: The acting was top notch. I love the soundtrack. I

579
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: probably listened to it so many times and it's all

580
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: women on the soundtrack. Um. The movie touched on so

581
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: many issues that we've talked about before, from everyday sexism.

582
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: I would agree with your Wan McGregor. You know what

583
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: he said about man's plating all the way to sexual assault. UM,

584
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: Women in Revenge a lot of that that that kind

585
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: of trope, and even specifically Harley Quinn's journey to becoming

586
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: her own woman instead of just the joker's girlfriend, because

587
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a breakup movie. It really is,

588
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: and she emerges well at the beginning for sure, her

589
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: tagline and her storyline, it is absolutely a breakup movie

590
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: for all the other women. Is different portions of what

591
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: it is, whether it's Rosie Perez saying, you know, stick

592
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: it to the man after they screwed me over after

593
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: so many times, I'm done with this and how I'm

594
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: going to take care of things, which could be that

595
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: whole trope again about the revenge slash justice in your

596
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: own hands type of level. And then you have the

597
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: Black Canary who's finding her own voice essentially kind of

598
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: what she was doing from being the stage singer and

599
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: being the pretty girl in the club to coming into

600
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: our own voice and finding her own voice. I think

601
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: it's definitely all well in those lines. Yeah, and it

602
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: was really fun to see a movie where it is

603
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: mostly women kicking ass, and you know, it's just little

604
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: things that you don't you don't realize that, oh, I've

605
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: been missing this, Like when Harley Quinn offers Black Canary

606
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: like a hair tie, just phenomenal, and then there's a

607
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: tampon joke and it's just you can tell, oh, women

608
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: were involved in all of this, right, And then they

609
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: also talk about the fact but her and and this

610
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: is something that we talked about at the original bars

611
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: of Prey episode when we were talking about the fact

612
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: that she changed her own outfit from what they wanted

613
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: her to be to what she wanted Robbie Margot Robbie Margot.

614
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: Robbie specifically did that She's like, Okay, I can be sexually,

615
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: but I don't have to wear that stupid bs right,

616
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: and I can make my own you know that in

617
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: itself was like, yeah, you can definitely see the difference

618
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: at the functionalities of the outfits even right. And sadly, um,

619
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: my friend I went to go see this with her

620
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: after Samantha and I saught together, and I saw it

621
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: with another friend of mine. She's really big on Reddit,

622
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: and she told me afterwards how upset it made her

623
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: because Reddit let her and to believe it was this

624
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: awful movie and it was so like social justice and

625
00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: terrible and it was very upsetting with social justice. Everybody

626
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: really get upset about that. Right now, I'm like, they do,

627
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: they do? And you know, I want to underscore this.

628
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: I think it was a really fantastic movie, but it

629
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: wasn't like it and it doesn't have to be. That's

630
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: the thing. It was just a fun superhero movie. You

631
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: feel like it's any like revenge or origin story almost

632
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: of who you've become. Any of them, like Batman, would

633
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: be the same level of social justice. So I'm a

634
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: little confused. Like he was literally indicating his parents death

635
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: and then went to become the Dark Warrior to come

636
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: and clean up crying. That was his whole basis, So

637
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm kind of confused the difference. Yeah, well it's because

638
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: it's a man doing it versus a woman. But the

639
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: thing is, like even the Rotten Tomatoes had given it

640
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: a pretty high scoring originally, not originally, but towards the

641
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: beginning of when it was coming out as well as

642
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I think it's lower on the IMDb.

643
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of confused why people didn't. Well I'm

644
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: not confused because we saw it very clearly on Twitter,

645
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: Um you know, yeah, how people just hated it and

646
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: saying they weren't sexy enough, which again they're wearing tight leather. Yeah,

647
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: I thought that was the dream the dream Metal Dreams like, yeah,

648
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: get tight anything, so huh yeah, yeah, it's unfortunate, and um,

649
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: I hope that d C doesn't stop making movies like

650
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 1: that because of that reaction, because we need to see

651
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: more of that. Um, And it might feel a little

652
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: hypocritical of me to be like strong female women always violence.

653
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, but I love this, but I

654
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: just think there's a space for so much more stories

655
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: with women in them, and because we don't see them

656
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: that often, they get judged much more harshly or seen

657
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: as oh, it's just another one of this trope or

658
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: what what have you. But also, now you have your

659
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: costume for I'm thinking about it. I know, I have

660
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: this thing where I tried to predict what the biggest

661
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: costume will be every year, and last year I had it.

662
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: Nailed it. I nailed it, but I definitely counted the

663
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: entire time Steve from Scoops Away from Stranger Things and

664
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: also Midsummer Um, but yeah, I predict Birds of Prey

665
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: will be a big one there. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm

666
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,879
