[1] What Is Feminism? i.e. The One With Sabrina Carpenter

About this episode

The episode discusses feminism through the lens of Sabrina Carpenter's latest album and public commentary.

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.
