why aren’t we duct taping men more
Show notes
A man got duct-taped to his airplane seat, and honestly? Feminism is healing.
This week, we’re getting into that, paying tribute to the icon Gloria Steinem, and revisiting her wildest undercover stunts, funniest quotes, and her theory that patriarchy is still a prison for men, it's just “cushy.” Plus: Phoebe Bridgers’ leg hair, why the queer Ultimatum is infinitely more watchable, what’s actually behind the orgasm gap, and our boy problem of the week: why do I only want men who are already taken?
