Coming In Claire Gurley

We are kicking off pride month with a real treat of an episode! Hannah Einhorn is back on the pod to discuss compulsory heterosexuality and lesbianism in the modern day. In this episode we discuss Adrienne Rich's essay "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence" as well as Angeli Luz's viral Tumblr post "The Lesbian Masterdoc" to get to the bottom of what compulsory sexuality is and how it effects all of us- gay or not!

Today I am joined by artist, poet, and friend Pallas Lane Umbra to talk about the fluidity of gender in a society where gender expectations are very rigid. We discuss our own experiences living inside and outside of the binary, and we propose that a world with less strict definitions of gender might be a better world for all of us!

I sit down with artist and dear friend Hannah Einhorn to talk about consent and rape culture. We examine the way that consent is taught (or not taught) and the systems in our society that uphold a culture of violence and misogyny. Join in as we dismantle the patriarchy and strive to create a culture of consent!
