We're back with a super long episode to make up for our absence!  In this installment of Surviving Trump's America, we talk about the Aziz Ansari date we've all been on, how pervasive coercion is in women's relationships, how we are socialized to ignore and minimize woman's feelings and desires, and how all of these things and everything in between contributes to rape culture. Send your thoughts on coercion, consent, or anything we talked about to thefeministfuries@gmail.com.  Music by Breakmaster Cylinder.

Surviving Trump's America #11: Sexual Coercion, Consent, & Rape Culture

Hello 2018! This week the Furies bring you a cliche new year episode. Kelly JeaniusTM shares her proven goal setting (and achieving!) strategy, which, unsurprisingly, is very similar to the goal setting process of Fortune 500 companies. Then we reflect on the books, movies, and tv shows we (mostly) enjoyed in 2017. Spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Due process. Equal protection. Strict scrutiny. All of these concepts spring from the 14th Amendment, which is the basis for some of the most important civil rights achievements in the last century. But the amendment has also been a major battleground for America’s varied, competing political ideologies, and unsurprisingly, the good guys haven’t always won. In this installment of Surviving Trump’s America, we delve into the paradoxical history of the 14th Amendment. Part 2 of this episode picks up right where we left off - post Jim Crow through modern day. Music by Breakmaster Cylinder

Arabella Mansfield

A rather celebratory episode this week, as we congratulate Kelly on her passing the bar exam and becoming one step closer to becoming a lawyer. Topics this week include the amazing, supportive #LadyPodSquad community, the first female lawyer and the history of gender discrimination, and terrible Fall TV shows. Natalie tests Kelly to see if she can determine whether a show premiered in 1987 or is in the 2017 Fall TV lineup, based on its description.

Thoughtful
