How to Say What You Want with Geena Davis Jun 18, 2019

Show notes

Geena Davis is so outspoken about Hollywood's women problems, she founded a think-tank to bring the research receipts. But speaking up didn't come naturally for the Academy Award winner and feminist pop cultural icon. Live from the Bentonville Film Festival, Geena takes C&C on her journey from almost dying of politeness to finding her voice on the Thelma & Louise set. And how that did—and didn't—"change everything."

Show notes

Caroline and Cristen are going to couple's therapy — for math — with educator and stereotype-disrupter, Vanessa Vakharia. Bad-at-math baggage is easy to pick up, and Vanessa's here to teach C&C and some unladylike callers how to put it down already.

How to Curse Like a F*cking Lady Apr 02, 2019

Show notes

Why is cursing still considered so effing unladylike, and how does swearing affect how women are heard? Caroline and Cristen decode the unspoken gender rules in our taboo talk with Australian linguist Kate Burridge who knows pretty much everything you’d ever wanna know about allegedly ‘filthy’ language. Then, Egyptian-American feminist author Mona Eltahawy flexes the patriarchy-smashing power of profanity.

How to Toot Your Own Horn Mar 26, 2019

Show notes

From band class to the orchestra pit, girls are rarely encouraged to toot their own horns. In fact, brass sections are one of the boys-clubbiest corners of the musical world. To find out the wild reasons why, Cristen and Caroline talk to sexism-slaying trombonist Abbie Conant and visionary tuba player Chanell Crichlow.

How to Free the 90s Bitch Mar 19, 2019

Show notes

The 1990s were supposed to be the "decade of women," but it became all about the bitches instead. Caroline and Cristen put on their velvet chokers for a feminist 90s-nostalgia trip with journalist Allison Yarrow, author of 90s Bitch: Media, Culture, and the Failed Promise of Gender Equality. Tune in to discover the bitchification backlash against the decade's leading unladies, like Monica Lewinsky, Lorena Bobbitt, and Hillary Clinton.
