Platforming people who have displayed misogynistic behaviour without the proper tools to dismantle their problematic behaviour only allows their views to spread, unchecked.
Actually, worse than unchecked, excused by saying he was “pushed” to do it.
Claiming to be feminists and doing this gives men like this the opportunity to say “well, two feminists agreed with me on their podcast” while also spreading their message.
Content like this is the foundation of patriarchy and can trigger survivors, and cause them to feel even more shame than they already feel while also emboldening men to believe that this kind of language is okay if someone is “pushed” hard enough. We are all responsible for our own actions. No one else is to blame, particularly when saying that a woman should be “muzzled” by her husband.
The ripple effect of supposed feminists platforming a man like this creates a ripple effect of misogyny and shame for victims of abuse. At the core of abuse is the narrative that “you pushed me”, “you deserve this”, “you want this to happen to you”, “you can’t help but upset me”. Rhetoric like this has the ability for abusers to harm their victims without even contacting them. The mental battle with abuse survivors to believe that it was not their fault is almost a daily struggle. When we excuse men’s poor behaviour by blaming the recipient , it’s the start of a long road of oppression.
I messaged Ella and Dom expressing my views, you can hear the message in my podcast. They didn’t reply, instead decided to double down on their social media and dismiss any form of criticism.
We all make mistakes, but it’s how we respond that matters. Putting click bait listens above the wellbeing of listeners is incredibly concerning.
P.s. it’s not “problematic” to support a vaccine that saved millions of lives.
Two part solo ep out now! Listen wherever you get your pods.
Their activism is preserving patriarchy, despite it being the cause of all of their talking points against women.

After @albomp ‘s strange, tone deaf and disrespectful speech (if we can call it that?) at the @whatwereyouwearing_ rally over the weekend, it’s clear that the left wing policies of his election campaign are unlikely to be realised.
We all know the Labor Party are not our saviours, and certainly not the pinnacle of left wing policy, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have high hopes after Albanese was elected. This is not how I thought his term in office would go.
I hope tomorrow we see some real action taken, some sort of tangible intervention. We have done all the work we can, it’s now up to our elected officials to make change.
What would you like to see happen at tomorrow’s National Cabinet?
Today’s pod is an incredible conversation with @emrusciano all about her experience with ADHD and autism.

Just when Ex-Defence Junior Officer Jordyn’s career was at its peak, her life goals were aligning and she had a reliable social network around her, a night out at a remote airforce based changed her entire life.
In a 4 part series, Jordyn bravely shares her story of survival, the harrowing experience of having her pleas fall on deaf ears and finally what it was like when she went to trial and how it would mark the beginning of the end of her time at the defence force.
Wow very 2020-2021 of me ranting about anti vaxxers. Tbh my main issue here is the predatory media outlets, who know that those without media literacy will jump on misleading headlines to confirm their false beliefs. They know that people who are anti-vax are often uneducated, and therefore don’t validate sources when presented with a headline. The influencers and media who are regurgitating click bait headlines are uneducated and ignorant at best, and maliciously preying on vulnerable people who clearly are a little unwell if they still believe this after all of these years. If you’re an anti vaxxer, you’re actively harming society, but if you’re a media outlet or an influencer sharing completely misleading information, you’re event worse ❤️ still hate anti vaxxers tho xx
Audio is cooked at the end but a few of u asked me to make these stories shareable and u get the point. Turned off comments because I forgot how unhinged anti vaxxers are, and I don’t have the time to reply to them like I did in lockdown.
@tamepunk shares a NMF about when she was put on the spot in front of 500 people with a completeeeeely inappropriate question. In the full ep, Abbie and Grace also chat about what it’s like being made into a caricature by the Australian media and how this affects their interactions with people they meet in public!!!

From revving his car and popping his tyre while “showing off” on a date to more aggressive, coercive and illegal behaviours, today’s NMF will truly make your blood BOIL for the beautiful listener who sent it in!
TW: the episode mentions stealthing which is a form of r*pe and is illegal.
