Description
Our opening discussion starts with some meta commentary of the meta commentary of the latest Sabrina Carpenter album and magazine covers. Less about the woman and more about womanhood. So many of the takes included some variation of the phrase “that’s not what feminism is” that we couldn’t help but join in on the discussion.

What we also mentioned in this episode:

Erin’s spookie film is Lake Mango (2007)
Margaret Atwood’s quote can be found in the book The Robber Bride:
“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
