If men can't listen to women, maybe they can listen to a man having a conversation with someone who can summon birds to land on her hands. From the guest: My name is Florence and I am an artist, naturalist, early childhood educator, and a typical polyamorous Seattlite.  In this episode my ADHD and I talk about how biology affects my worldview, how much I hate strip malls, and how I want to be treated as a persona and not just a woman. From the host: Surprise guest appearances by my cat and the omnipresent whirring of my 3D printer (my apologies!). The lecture mentioned in the episode, Eve's Byte of the Apple - Sandi Toksvig https://youtu.be/UG6Ier4UC_8?si=OtRLI8woiyhRllwb

If men can't listen to women, maybe they can listen to a man listening to Nicole Davenport of the podcast "Great in the sack: when misogyny leads to mayhem".  Nicole's podcast approaches the inaction in solving misogyny and femocide by bearing witness through storytelling to the way the world uses women and girls as expendable objects. We dive into the mechanisms of insecurity, incel culture, and lifting each other up instead of tearing our perceived competition down, and how the competition itself originates in downward manipulation. You can find Nicole's podcast in all of the major podcast distributors and on social media: Instagram - @great_in_the_sack_podcast - https://www.instagram.com/great_in_the_sack_podcast/ TikTok - @greatinthesackpodcast - https://www.tiktok.com/@greatinthesackpodcast Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/greatinthesackpod.bsky.social

Find Colleen on TikTok, Instagram, Mastadon, and Threads as @theabortionfluencer and on Bluesky as @abortionfluencer.bsky.social.
