Ep. 22: I'm a feminist but...

In this week’s episode we venture into controversial discussions around “bad feminism”. Disclosing our love for sexist rap and other non-feminist guilty pleasures, we enter the realms of 2nd wave feminism, mommybloggers and compulsive heterosexuality. Do we actually enjoy spending the morning cleaning, washing and ironing (cause we do!), or are we giving in to oppressive gender ideas? Where do these holy laws of feminism come from? And, in the words of Roxane Gay, is it not better to be “a bad feminist than no feminist at all”? Disclaimer: this episode includes (a little more) offensive language than usual. Many of the opinions expressed are not our own but rather replocatopms of dominant patriarchal discourse. tons of references -  - Area Codes - Ludacris - Dein Lied - Kraftklub - Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo - Studies on stay-at-home mothers: here, here, and here  - Effects of stay-at-home parents on children: here and here - Adrienne Rich - Of Woman Born: Motherhood as experience of institutions - TED Talk: We Should All Be Feminists - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - Roxane Gay - Bad Feminist - TED Talk: Roxane Gay - Confessions of a bad feminist - Twitter response of Beyonce's 2014 MTV VMA performance
