The Agentic Feminine

"Clitoral Conflabs," the flagship podcast for The Agentic Feminine is a podcast for Rewilding Women. We are heralding a reformation and reclamation of the rightful place and power of ALL women (🚫 TERFS). A women-centered conversation on sociopolitical and socioeconomic structures and happenings affecting women, focusing on capitalist, white supremacist patriarchy. We'll be diving into our culturalization, how we perpetuate these systems of oppression, exploitation, and extraction and how we can divest from them – individually and communally. The goal is to identify effective solutions, with an in-depth exploration of matriarchy.
