Suffrage: Voting Rights, Voting Wrongs—Part 3

Send us a text We take our discussion of suffrage to the end of the 19th century! It might take us as long to discuss this topic as it took to actually get the 19th amendment passed. Main takeaway from this episode: whyte women really don't get intersectionality. (Listen, I had to google it when I first heard the term - I suggest you do the same). But basically, we took our one-issue concern -- get the vote -- and said a big "sorry, maybe later" to basically every other concern out there, but es...

Dirty Britches: Goldilocks

Send us a text Alright Chris Harrison, we know what you're going to say, "Do the woke police have to ruin everything?" Well, yep, sorry, Goldilocks sucks and we're here to tell you why. The stories we tell matter and we need to be better at taking a critical lens to the values they impart - implicitly or explicitly. They stick in the subconscious part of your brain, and the next thing you know, you're grabbing someone's breast when you come out of anesthesia. (Just listen, it all comes together....

Suffrage: Voting Rights, Voting Wrongs—Part 2

Send us a text Part 2 of ??? Listen, it's gonna take however long it takes! This week we're talking about the roots of suffrage and its connection to the anti-slavery movement. There were a couple of brief, fleeting moments when things could have gone oh-so-beautifully better, but alas...we f*cked it up again. Blog post and references at www.ourdirtylaundrypodcast.com!

Dirty Britches Inaugural Minisode - MTG

Send us a text Welcome to Dirty Britches - a minisode series where we dish the dirt on today's white woman defenders of white supremacy and general obnoxious political fuckery. Our first offender is Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia's newly elected House Representative, Trump-enthusiast, QAnon adherent, school shooting-denier, whack-a-doodle. A political newbie, but already thoroughly soiled.

Suffrage: The Anti Aunties—Part 2

Send us a text We're back for the second half of our anti-suffrage chapter. This episode wraps up all the reasons your female genitals disqualify you from the ballot box, and then we take a peek into the women of anti-suffrage themselves. After we travel back in time to wag our fingers at our misguided progenitors, we process the lessons we take away from this part of our white woman history.

Suffrage: The Anti Aunties—Part 1

Send us a text There’s a lot of dirt when we start looking into the history of women and voting in the United States. Before we look at the problems with the pro-women’s suffrage community and how they excluded minority groups, we’re going back to the women who were against getting the vote even for themselves. Embedded in their logic are deep connections to whiteness and the exclusion of anyone or anything that was outside the God-ordained image, in their view, of (white) womanhood. We’re start...

Podcast Introduction: Come Get Your People

Send us a text An intro to our new podcast! We are two old friends who have spent the past four years lamenting to each other about current politics and how in the hell we got to this place as a country. Then, one day, Katy had the brilliant idea of doing a podcast to discuss one of our favorite topics to bitch about: white women! Caveat: we are white women. But we are also horrified by how many of our fellow white women have behaved in the Trump era. And then we realized: we've been behaving th...
