Armo peasant food bougie fancy food w Anita Sarkeesian - Ep. 455 Mar 20, 2018

Show notes

Such good intentions to discuss the fancy foods to aspire to but Anita Sarkeesian (@femfreq @anitasarkeesian) and I discover that we really want to dork out about being Armenian. And so it came to pass. She’s got a great site dedicated to looking at pop culture from a feminist angle which, since it’s never done that way… is fascinating.

Unsung Women in History w Cathryn Michon- Ep. 449 Feb 06, 2018

Show notes

The woman behind the man is usually right next to him getting her name removed from the research paper when they stop being married.

This one will make you mad and remind you about the Cotton Gin. Bring It. 11:19 Catherine Littlefield Green invented the Cotton Gin 24:42 a VERY intense conversation about Oprah running for President to 30min in. At least.
