The Girls Are All Right: A Feminactivist Podcast
Jess & Less return in 2018 to talk about the Women's March 2018 (National Call to Action "Hear Our Vote") and discuss how electoral politics, while important, are not the be all and end all in activism or importance, is it an inclusive tactic, as some may like to believe. Other discussions: Immigration, a bit about the tax legislation, how each of us should choose our lane but recognize that everything is connected/intersectional, and why maybe Lysistrata is our only hope.

S2E16 "Let Them Eat Cake"
The Girls Are All Right: A Feminactivist Podcast
The Girls discuss wealth inequality through the lens of white nationalism, trickle-down economics, who benefits from the welfare state, and what the future of employment could possibly look like with the rise of AI. We also discuss how women are more greatly impacted by the downshift in the economic opportunities available. All of this is in honor of Bastille Day and Marie Antoinette's infamous quote that the peasants, who were starving, could eat cake. Vive la Revolution!

S2E12 Corruption and Complicity
The Girls Are All Right: A Feminactivist Podcast
We discuss the political and social implications of the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. But sexy poppies aren't the point, when we have nepotism and complicity from Trump's daughter and SIL and corruption is EVERYWHERE within the regime. We're tired, especially, of the Democratic Party eschewing Progressive and Radical candidates in favor of those within the Establishment. Be BOLD, Dems. Be Bold.
