COJ #82 - How The Mica Miller Case Shows...

Luna Shark
About this episode

Cup of Justice co-hosts Mandy MatneyLiz Farrell and Eric Bland — talk about Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker’s controversial convocation speech, in which he essentially told women graduates that they have been told a “diabolical lie” about pursuing an existence beyond being wives and mothers. 


These comments and those that support them add context to the Mica Miler case out of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and shows the challenges of divorcing but also the dangers of divorce laws.


Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about all the ways women in abusive marriages are pummeled by the law — and the system. 


Premium Members get an extended conversation about Taylor Swift, the NFL and the pressure that still exists to be the kind of woman Harrison Butker says women should be.


Let’s get into it...
