Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/09/08

Leonardo DiCaprio's latest breakup with model Camila Morrone right after her 25th birthday had Twitter in a frenzy, and the graph of Leo's dating history resurfaced. We discuss when and why huge dating age gaps are icky. We also revisit the Olivia Wilde drama in the wake of the Venice Film Festival Premiere of "Don't Worry Darling." From Florence Pugh's Aperol Spritz to Chris Pine's meme-able expressions and Harry Style's spit (!?) it was fun to rehash. We see you: US District Judge Reed

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/09/01

We discuss the drama unfolding around Olivia Wilde, Florence Pugh (aka "Miss Flo"), Shia LaBeouf Harry Styles, and Wilde's new film Don't Worry Darling.

Neal Collins, MTV VMA, West Point, Chris Rock, Nicholas and Mary Nicosia, Seattle Police

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/08/18

There are so many lawsuits against Trump. Will justice reach him? Are we naive to hold out hope??

Jean Carroll, Mary Trump...surely something will stick!

Ep 180: What is Joe Manchin Up To?

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/08/04

We're so confused about what Joe Manchin is up to! Is he actually going to cooperate with Democrats and pass an actual substantive bill?

Holman Correctional Facility in Alabama, South Carolina legislature Feminists Without Mystique is part of the Frolic Podcast Network. Find more podcasts you’ll love at

Ep 179: ”Aging Gracefully”

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/07/28

We discuss the concept of "aging gracefully." The societal standards for "aging gracefully" differ between men and women, and the costs of anti-aging techniques (skincare, botox, fillers, surgery, nutrition, exercise regimens) also make this a class issue.

Christopher Pullease, Hulu, JD Vance, Anschutz Corporation (Coachella parent company) Feminists Without Mystique is part of the Frolic Podcast Network. Find more podcasts

Ep 177: Other Terrible SCOTUS Decisions

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/07/07

There were plenty of other terrible SCOTUS decisions handed down this term, and we take a look at a few of them. The Washington Post summarized it best - "The emboldened 6-3 conservative majority, with three nominees of President Donald Trump, wasted little time expanding the rights of gun owners to carry firearms in public, strengthening the role of religion in public life and sharply curtailing the Biden administration’s power to combat climate change." Conservatives have the court they've been

Ep 176: Roe Overturned

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/06/30

The dreaded day has come. The landmark Supreme Court case granting women the constitutional right to an abortion, Roe v. Wade, has been overturned after nearly 50 years. It was a 6-3 decision written by Justice Alito. This overtly political decision has ominous implications for not only for reproductive health access, but for constitutional protections for contraceptives, gay marriage, and intimate sexual conduct. It's a dark fucking time to be a woman or person with a uterus in the United

Ep 175: January 6th Committee Hearings So Far

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/06/23

We discuss the January 6th Committee hearings so far. So much crime and fraud perpetrated by Trump - we knew this, but somehow there are STILL so many stunning revelations about how involved he truly was in direct efforts to overturn our free and fair election. We see you: Brazil court denying 11 year old an abortion, Eric Greitens, FINA, Steve King, Elon Musk, Congress swiftly passing a law protecting SCOTUS families like Ginni Thomas while sleeping on desperately needed gun safety legislation

Ep 173: The Depp vs. Heard Verdict is Depressing

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/06/09

We discuss the verdict in the Depp vs Heard case, and all the ways it depresses us! It sets a terrible precedent for domestic violence cases moving forward, it doesn't seem rooted in fact, it might be seen as the nadir of the #metoo movement, and just overall adds to our sense that the country is in a dark place which will only become darker come the midterms. We see you: Men on the internet criticizing Simone Johnson, SCOTUS, Pregnancy Registry in Poland, Tempe Police, Jill Biden Feminists

Ep 172: The Police Response in Uvalde

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/06/02

We discuss the continued fallout from last Tuesday's mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The more we learn about the police's inept response the worse it gets. There were police on the scene within minutes and outside the classroom door for nearly an hour before intervention, despite repeated calls from the children from inside the classroom. It is unfathomable how such a disconnect managed to persist for this hour. So much for the "good guys with guns" theory. We see you:

Ep 171: Gun Violence...Forever?

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/05/26

On Tuesday a gunman murdered 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Last week a shooter murdered 10 people in a grocery store in Buffalo, New York. No meaningful gun control has been passed in the nearly 25 years since Columbine. How much senseless violence has to occur before lawmakers actually do something? The US is the only economically advantaged country where mass shootings are an issue. We're tired, angry, and so deeply sad. Action, now. No we see yous

Ep 170: SCOTUS Likely Overturning Roe v. Wade

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/05/05

We process the news that the worst case scenario is upon us. The Supreme Court is most likely going to fully overturn 50 years of precedent and overturn Roe v. Wade and we are gutted, devastated and furious. Justice Alito's 98 page majority draft opinion leaked on Monday, and was verified Tuesday by Chief Justice Roberts. We understand this is a draft and things could change, but they probably won't. Proceed accordingly. We spend the entire podcast on this hellacious news. No we see yous this

Ep 169: Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/04/28

We discuss the messy trial of Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard. There's a lot to parse through, and the trial will continue through May, so we'll circle back when there's a verdict, but for now, no one is looking good. We see you: Florida Citizens Alliance, Man who self-immolated on Earth Day, Flight attendants not being paid before takeoff, Syracuse PD, Trump, abuse in NH children’s care facility Feminists Without Mystique is part of the Frolic Podcast Network.

Ep 168: The Birthday Party Lawsuit

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/04/21

We discuss the much publicized case of a Kentucky man who explicitly told his company he didn't want a birthday party due to his anxiety, and then they threw him one anyway, triggering a panic attack. He was subsequently fired and he sued the company and won 450k in lost wages and damages for mental anguish. We also briefly discuss the lifting of the airplane mask mandate. We see you: Gov. DeSantis, Dianne Feinstein, dolphin harassment in Texas, RNC pulling out of the Presidential Debate

Ep 167: Ukraine

Ep 166: Ketanji Brown Jackson & the Oscars Slap

Feminists Without Mystique ·

2022/04/07

We get into the infamous Slap. Discussion around this incident at the Oscars is especially relevant as we watched the disgraceful SCOTUS confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. From the judiciary committee to the Oscars we should all take a serious step back and reflect on the historic and widespread disrespect black women endure. There are so many ways this country and its citizens need to improve, and a great start would be to give black women the basic respect they deserve. Senate
