The Guilty Feminist

I’m a feminist, but I LOVE listening to this podcast, because it makes me feel like I’m being an activist when what I’m actually doing is listening to hilarious stand up comedy and feeling grateful that the things I need to pay attention to are being offered up to me like so much easy to digest Feminist Tapas. In a world where social media and our lives in general are increasingly exhausting us and wearing us down, this podcast is a lifeline for me. I have ADHD and autism and I’m so easily overwhelmed by the sheer work of trying to live a good life not just for me but for others. This funny and brilliant podcast makes me laugh, uplifts me, educates me and more importantly reminds me that if all of us do a little, if we can just be helped in reframing our thinking, we can change the world. THANKYOU DFW and the the GF gang for what you’re doing.

I wonder if the title of the podcast refers to the fact that the presenters have no actual interest in women’s rights? Especially since, in the case of Mridhul Wadhwa, a man who doesn’t have a Gender Recognition Certificate and headed up the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre on false pretences (he wore a sari and applied for a women-only job. No one asked if he’s actually a bloke,) and whom the judge declared at a tribunal as running a ‘heresy hunt’ in ERCC? This is a man who declared on the Guilty Feminist podcast (ep.265,) that female victims seeking to access the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Service are ‘bigots’ if they want to come into a women only space. Clearly supporting actual female victims does not fit into their vision of what it means to be a feminist. Their version of a feminist is actually a ‘pick-me’ handmaiden, who would rather support this male bully than, you know, actual adult human females. They couldn’t care less about women who are the victims of one of the most traumatising crimes any of us might have ever had the misfortune to experience. It doesn’t meet their cool cred. That, for them, is FAR more important.

Run by a narcissist who *jokes* she’s created her own cult; except she’s done it for her huge ego. So called campaigning for refugees whilst standing on stage in louboutins. I see straight through you *Debs*
