We are all bad feminists.
Are you a shit feminist? Us too. It's ok. The theory that being a bad feminist is a really good thing. Women commenting on each others appearance: innocent fun or a bit wrong? Plus, crying in public, Kanye's sex breath, and the desperate plea for the return of baby Gary. Show notes Sarah MacDonald's wikipedia is here. Mia Freedman has one too! (Monique Bowley does not have one 'cos she is a wikinobody but she is on facebook which is the poor cousin) The best bits from when women took over Q and A Roxane Gay's book: Bad Feminist. There's a crisis in baby names. Poor Gary. Abbott gets a report card as Minister For Women Andrew Chan is engaged, despite waiting for execution. Extraordinary revelations of sexism in the medical profession. Cate Blanchett is making Mia feel quite the underachiever. Elizabeth Gilbert really liked Sarah's book, Holy Cow. Elizabeth Gilbert gave this amazing tedx presentation. And if you stole Monique's bike, or you know where it is, she would really like it back. She misses it and needs it badly. The bike is a Trek Lexa. This is her on it. (Not crying). You can email the show: podcast@mamamia.com.au or like us on Facebook. And Jamila Rizvi will be back next week, she was off on Serious Journalistic Business.

SPECIAL: Fifty Shades of Grey. The Essential Guide.
This special breakout podcast is what everyone's talking about, yelling about, protesting about and disagreeing about: Fifty Shades of Grey. We take two women that have seen it, each with a different view. One, a sunshiny soul who hadn't read the books and didn't know what to expect. The other, a fiery, give-no-shits powerhouse who devoured all three books, and loved them "with one hand." What happens? Shit goes down is what. This is the definitive guide to the drama and controversy. The sex scenes. The global reviews. The wider social message this movie is provoking. And, above all, the answer to whether you should bother seeing it. As Monique says, "It's like Margaret and David. With a lot more fucks." *warning. Swear jar. Adult themes. Show notes Kate Leaver is a Senior Editor at Mamamia Shelly Horton is a TV host/ producer and regular on Channel 7. Monique Bowley should have brought a dictionary along. The show facebook page is here And you can email podcast@mamamia.com.au Is Mia Freedman the only other woman that wasn't offended? The Lisa Wilkinson review that's gone viral. Rosie Waterland's astonished re-cap/review And the anti-domestic violence group who say there are 10 ways that Fifty Shades glorifyies abusive relationships. The story of the White Ribbon Fundraiser that was cancelled. And....the soundtrack to the film is phenoms.
