Feminist Utopia E 82: LuLaRich & MLM Misogyny

Feminism addresses much more than just rights for women, it promotes dignity, respect and unity for all living beings, regardless of gender, race, class, culture, sexual orientation, religion or any of the many other classifications our society often uses

Just a few episodes in, and I&#39;m hooked! I can&#39;t wait to hear more from these two women.

Intrigued

Such an interesting and insightful discussion of modern feminism!

Super engaging

Feminist Utopia Episode 39: Blue No Matter Who?

Feminist Utopia Episode 37 Fat Shaming

Are you tired of the Democratic Presidential Primary Debates? We here at FU agree with Tom Steyer that everyone on the stage values much of the same stuff ("Healthcare is a right? YES!"). This episode we discuss the primary in New Hampshire, one of the whitest places in the US, the most recent debate AND how Galentine's Day can save us all.

Feminist Utopia Episode 35 Does New Hampshire even matter? Or does Galentine's Day matter more?

Well...its been a week. And here at Feminist Utopia we've been loving all the great things women are doing this week. JLo rocking the Super Bowl and not caring about Karen's Pearl Clutching? Yeah..we're here for that. Nancy Pelosi ripping up the State of the Union speech? LOVE IT! and even the Iowa Caucus which should be renamed "ShitShow 2020" was good news as the coverage was less about the electability of a woman and more about the electability of progressive politics.

Feminist Utopia Episode 26: White Feminism & You (and Us)

This week we talk about how we white girls mess up when we prioritize being 'nice' over justice especially when talking to people from marginalized communities. A few weeks ago eponymous Ellen spent a few hours sitting next to former president George W. Bush and got some backlash for hanging out with a war criminal. In response, Ellen defended herself by saying it was more important to be nice.  We disagree. This is the first in our 3 part series about unpacking whiteness, white fragility, white feminism, and how white people can do better.
