Women Are Done Being Scared. PERIOD.
Sunday, 4 October, 2026
Heads up: this episode talks about sexual assault and has strong language. Everything I say about stories in the news is alleged and my opinion. This one was hard to record. The other day I was walking my dog and a man stopped me to ask what kind of dog I have. Nothing happened. And my brain still went to: this person is trying to kidnap me. That's the problem, and that's what this episode is about. I talk about the "be nice" voice that kept me standing there, what my husband said when I told him, and how I know I'm not just being super sensitive. I get into what's all over the news right now, the people in power who are getting away with it, and what I think the good guys need to start doing. I don't have a tidy answer. We're tired. We're angry. We don't want to be afraid anymore. This is my rant. This is my rage. This is my message today. Mentioned: Jo at @unlearn16 Her Instagram I refer to: https://www.instagram.com/p/DeDAmY1NMZs/ This message from Mark Green is also very good: https://www.instagram.com/p/DeDAmY1NMZs/ Two corrections: I said the alleged Cornell assault happened in a dorm room. The lawsuit says it was a fraternity house. I also said the students had to write an essay. That's a claim in the lawsuit, and Cornell disputes that it was anyone's only consequence.
