We go down the #INCEL rabbit hole in Episode 36. What IS an INCEL? What is the "INCEL rebellion," a "Chad," a "Stacy," a "Normie," and all the other various language and ideas guiding this particularly dangerous group of men. We also give you new language: "aggrieved entitlement," and "misogynistic terrorism." With all the #massshootings today, mostly committed by young white men who are angry with women for denying them sex, we provide a basic primer on this movement and make the connection, which is something that is being ignored in mainstream media outlets.
The #TrumpsterFire addresses #POTUS's misogyny (or hatred of women). Our #FierceWomanWarriors this episode are two #womenwriters who have shared their stories and exposed #JunotDiaz as a sexual predator: Zinzi Clemmons, author of What We Lose and Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties.
Our #MediaMinute asks you to watch the second season of Hulu's series The Handmaid's Tale. And finally, our #ActivistAction asks you to buy books by women #whistleblowers.

In Episode 34, we answer your questions about Native Americans and provide a few resources to help you grow your knowledge. The Trumpster Fire addresses the problem with Trump calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas."

Our Media Minute asks you to read two books: Louise Erdrich's The Round House and Terese Marie Mailhot's Heart Berries. And finally, our Activist Action asks you play Thunderbird Strike, a simple and fun 2D sidescroller game designed by one of our prior Fierce Woman Warriors, Elizabeth LaPensee (Anishnabe).
