Episode 97 - Ma, Can I Be A Feminist and Still Like Men? Lyrics from Life by Nicole Hollander
Happy U.S. Election Day! We all need some extra entertainment today, so we're airing this episode a week early.
We read a book of feminist cartoons and learn that humor has shifted a lot since the late 1970s in America. Sadly, little else has shifted very much, though - like equal treatment under the law, healthcare, and the dominance of fossil fuels...which is a great reminder to vote today if you haven't already!
