Glennon Doyle and Audacy
About this episode

1. Glennon lets f-ing loose about the misogyny in our cursing lexicon—and how it reveals our hidden conditioning. (Note: Don’t listen with the kiddos.)

2. The connection between how little girls are taught to avoid conflict with each other and how adult women are called “catty.” 

3. What Glennon really means when she says she’s a feminist—and why she’s baffled when a group fighting for their own equality turns on another group fighting for theirs.

4. Why Glennon says that the teenage years may be her favorite parenting era yet.
