About this episode

The episode explores the narrative pushed by modern conservative media regarding motherhood and the childfree lifestyle.

The alt right media is asking, "Why do the 'child-free' want EVERYBODY to devalue motherhood?", and warning women that "The Childfree Dream Is A Scam"... But who's selling who, and what are they peddling? In this ep, we meet the two genders of modern conservative media, Blaze and Evie, and dive deep into their grift: tricking you into giving up on feminism and becoming a trad-wife-in-training. Their ultimate goal? The Motherhood Scam. This one's so shocking, James' jogging pants flew off! (...the front of our camper van...) Listen in to find out the state of modern motherhood, why patriarchy wants to keep the truth from you - or at least make you shut the eff up about it - and how, as ever, childfree women are getting the blame 🤬 Blaze: Why do the 'child-free' want EVERYBODY to devalue motherhood?
