SUNDAY SPECIAL: Mia, Holly & The Attack On Teenage Girls

Is it okay to take food from the hotel buffet for breakfast, lunch AND dinner? Asking for a friend. Or actually, a listener whose husband thinks she’s a thief. Also. Is Cancel Culture real? Mia read a piece from The New Republic titled The Cancel Culture Con about celebrities coming back from “cancellation” which really riled her up. Because the likes of Taylor Swift, Anziz Ansari and Louis C.K might be back on our screens - or in our ears - but are they really unscathed? Plus, do you love being seen to use your Keep Cup even more than you love using your Keep Cup for the planet? As an avid reusable straw lover, Jessie discusses whether or not her efforts to live a more earth-friendly life are a form of virtue signalling.

Ellen Degeneres has been called out for sitting next to George W Bush at an NFL game. Because, surely, she doesn’t agree with him on all the things? A Perth NightClub owner is infuriating the nation with his assertion that a young woman in his establishment couldn’t possibly have had her drink spiked because… she wasn’t attractive enough. Since we recorded this episode Scott has publicly apologised for his awful words but it begs the question; what did he think it would take for someone to be “worth” sexual assaulting?! Plus it’s been a week since White Ribbon Australia announced the organisation was going into liquidation. Some women around the country aren’t exactly sad about this. So what does it mean, and how should we feel about it?

What’s the social etiquette when it comes to “liking” a post on social media. Is it okay to bring up a post in real life if you don't interact with it digitally? And the enormous loss of Aiia Maasarwi was felt all around the nation. This week, the details of her murder were released after a judge removed the suppression order preventing their distribution. That has raised the question, what purpose do the details serve? And what responsibility do we have to know them? Plus, is it problematic to tell a woman she has a “big personality”? One listener was described as such in a job interview and she has no idea how to feel about it. If any of the discussions from this episode have raised any concerns for you in particular the discussion of the case of Aiia Maasarwi please reach out to 1800 RESPECT or call Lifeline on 13 11 14 RECOMMENDATIONS Claire: Fair Play by Eve Rodksy https://bit.ly/2LNXRXU and Beneath The Surface by Libby Trickett https://bit.ly/2AIw98c Jessie: Bondi Sands Wash Off Instant Tan https://www.bondisands.com.au/wash-off-light Holly: Free Solo documentary about rock climber Alex Honnold https://apple.co/2Ot3TP5 This episode of Mamamia Out Loud is brought to you by Shebah MMOL TOUR DATES Orange - Orange Civic Theatre Wednesday 16th October Geelong - GPAC Wednesday 30th October Sydney - Seymour Centre Friday 1st November A Night With Mia Freedman tickets available now at https://www.mamamia.com.au/events/ Subscribe to Mamamia Out Loud here: https://omny.fm/shows/mamamia-out-loud/playlists/podcast END BITS Hosts: Claire Murphy, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens Producer: Elise Cooper COME TALK TO US Join the Out Louders Facebook group GET IN TOUCH Call the PodPhone on 02 8999 9386.

The Masked Singer is everyone’s latest television obsession. People are utterly captivated by how bananas it is. But in the Golden Age of television, with scripted dramas and documentaries, should we apologise for indulging in a bit of ‘trash’? And is being bad at your job the worst possible thing you can be? We’re all, to some extent, stuck in the capitalist rat race, but what if you have no ambition to be ‘the best’? In a hustle culture obsessed with ambition, can we ever just be mediocre? Plus, crystals are on bedside tables, in drink bottles and bras, and even in jade face rollers. It would seem, however, that there’s a dark side to the crystal industry, and very few people know about it.

This week a piece of legislation was passed in ACT parliament that legalised marijuana in the territory. Should we be celebrating? Or could this be a slippery slope? Plus, 16-year-old climate activist and all around human mood board Greta Thunberg spoke at the UN climate summit this week. She stared down some of the most powerful leaders in the world - demanding immediate action on the climate crisis. As is the way with these things Greta has now become the subject of personal attacks from everyday citizens right up to the literal President of the United States. Should we be worried about Greta? Watch the funny skit Mia talks about from the ABC here; ABC 7:30 Greta Thunberg Helpline https://bit.ly/2n2mzt8. And, ladies and gentlemen, what is the point of having a bookshelf if it’s not professionally organised? At least that’s what we were left thinking after a Town And Country Mag.com feature on Gwyneth Paltrow revealed the actress has a professional bookshelf organiser.

Last week, Constance Hall gave a powerful TEDxTalk about her experience with bullying both online and in the real world. Mia originally discouraged Constance from speaking publicly about being bullied for fear it would ‘feed the trolls’. But she now realises she was wrong, and in fact, there’s a lot to be gained by shining a light on these experiences. Mark Ronson has spoken out about his sexuality, announcing his preference of ‘sapiosexuality,’ which involves being attracted to a person’s intellect above their gender and appearance. So, is this just another way of saying “it’s what’s inside that counts?” Plus, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the latest public figure to have photos from his past emerge; this time with the PM wearing black face for a dress up party. Holly asks why we’re quick to forgive some people for their socially unacceptable behaviour, while withholding that luxury from others.

Look, there's a lot to unpack today. The episode is late to your ears because we've been observing #climatestrike, we won some sparkly awards last night and it's also Producer Lize's last show. But first... The Bachelor's finished and the "good girl" won. But what does our reaction to Abbie say about how we view women who aren't afraid to express their sexuality? Anti-violence advocates are not the only ones upset about the fact that another inquiry into the Family Court has been announced, when what they've been asking for is urgent change, not more navel-gazing. To add insult to that injury, Pauline Hanson is leading that inquiry, even though her position on the Court is far from impartial. And, Holly, Mia and Rach discuss everything we love about the most-complained about ad on Australian television.

Is flirting really allowed in 2019? We ask this question because one of our listeners wrote in with a group therapy about her friend's husband being a tremendous flirt. Which got us thinking: is flirting just plain problematic these days? Plus, abortion remains technically illegal in NSW. On Saturday, thousands of women marched in Sydney’s Hyde Park to get it removed from the criminal code - Mia and her family were among them. But on Sunday there was an anti-choice rally. And in attendance? Barnaby Joyce and Tony Abbott. So why do these fathers of daughters not trust women? And Mia is here to explain the Caroline Calloway story that everyone is talking about.
