The Battle Of The Pop Feminists

Hi! This week we've got a lot on the agenda, including but not limited to: Jessica Simpson's surprisingly fascinating (and dark) life story; the new Netflix documentary charting the 2011 case that lay the foundation for the #MeToo movement; Hugh Grant revealing all the insane shit journalists used to do to him in the '90s on Fresh Air; Sienna Miller randomly talking about Jude Law again. And THEN the big stuff. After Chidera Eggerue A.K.A 'The Slumflower' accused Florence Given of copying her work to create the year-defining feminist-lite tome 'Women Don't Owe You Pretty', feminist Instagram exploded. We try to make sense of the many different strands to this conversation, which continues to unfold this week. Then, FKA Twigs' not-so-shocking allegations of domestic abuse, emotional manipulation and sexual battery against ex Shia LaBeouf has given much-needed attention to the rising rates of domestic violence during Covid-19. We discuss the intricacies and nuances of domestic violence relationships with the manager of an Australian shelter, including how to get help if you (or a friend) needs it.

As always, rate, review and subscribe. We love you.
