But Why Does Progress Always Scare Them? | A Backlash History of Women’s Rights
From bicycles to boardrooms, women’s progress has always triggered backlash.
In this episode, Kristin and Laura trace a powerful throughline across 140 years of history — showing how each leap forward for women has been met with a push to drag them back.
We unpack:
• Why “bicycle face” was invented to stop women riding freely
• How 1950s housewives were drugged into compliance
• The flapper, the feminist, and the fear of female autonomy
• How sport, beauty, and motherhood became tools of control
• The resurgence of incel culture and tradwives in today’s algorithmic patriarchy
From hysterical diagnoses to TikTok misogyny, this episode asks: What are they really so afraid of? And why does our joy, our freedom, and our power keep becoming the battleground?
