Saving Taliban Barbie

Is it literally impossible to be a woman? Is Sarah a mean boss? Is Meghan a men’s rights activist? In this episode, Meghan reports back from seeing Barbie and offers her rewrite of America Ferrera’s “epic” feminist speech. Sarah does some global politics ‘splaining about why Western occupation couldn’t topple the Taliban and, along the way, reveals that her father named her after Linda Hamilton’s character in The Terminator. Plus: bonus content for everyone! In the BONUS-FOR-ALL segment: Sarah sh*ts all over American norms about toilet hygiene and brags about her new bidet seats. Meghan complains about The New York Times; first for a misleading headline about abortion pills and second for a hysterical article about whether it’s safe to go outside. Subscribe to listen to such brilliance every time and to get access to our smart and thoughtful Substack community! LINKS:* Meghan’s Substack: I Rewrote The Barbie Speech For A Man* New York Times: Nebraska Teen Who Used Pills To End Pregnancy Gets 90 Days In Jail* New York Times: Is It Safe To Go Outside?
