    Welcome to Unruly Season 2

    For as long as women have been recognized as a distinct group, their interests have been side-lined as “Women’s Issues,” “Women’s Topics,” and “Women’s Studies.” Though likely well-intended, the distinction proposes that women’s conversations are outside the mainstream and, thus, not centered as primary or important. Women know that's far from true. Unruly centers women – giving them the freedom to discuss unconventional and surprising topics and the opportunity to be their truest, most flamboyant selves. Because the conversations we're having are anything but dull. At Flamingo, we believe that if women are talking about it, it’s important. So in this season of Unruly, we’ll have conversations with your favorite writers, thinkers and influencers about everything from dating in a recession, to the way TikTok is shaping girlhood, to consumer capitalism and how to survive your annual girls trip- plus much much more!  We’re carving out a little space for smart takes, hot takes, and a whole lot of truth-telling.

    Suffering in Silence

    Women are often taught to silence themselves and that can have damaging effects. On our last episode of the season, psychologist, writer and speaker Maytal Eyal joins host Kimberly Drew to discuss her Time Magazine article: “Self Silencing is Making Women Sick.” We get into Maytal’s research, what’s at stake when we don’t express ourselves fully, and how we can work together to fight against these toxic cultural norms.

    Don’t Hem Us In

    Female athletes have fought uphill battles for equity and respect for about as long as sports have existed. Their bodies and uniforms are under intense scrutiny from the public, the press and athletic institutions. In this episode, we talk to Olympic Shot-Putter Raven Saunders, who pushes back on archaic athletic dress code standards – she famously wears a Hulk mask when she competes. We get into her Olympic experience, what it means to push wardrobe boundaries, and how coming to peace with herself and her body is a huge part of how she expresses herself through clothes and through sports.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

    Menopause and the Media

    How is it that menopause, something that can affect half the population, also manages to be among the most understudied and least understood bodily phenomena? This week, journalist Susan Dominus talks with host Kimberly Drew about how a landmark study on hormone therapy for menopausal women was misunderstood in the media creating panic and long-term repercussions on the way women’s symptoms were treated.

    Body Language

    Vaginal atrophy, geriatric pregnancy, incompetent cervix- why can medical terminology around women’s bodies be so shaming?! In this week’s episode, “Vagina Obscura” author Rachel E. Gross talks with host Kimberly Drew about the long shadow of the patriarchy over the medical profession. She walks us through how it’s shaped the way we talk about our bodies, how we understand vital body parts like the clitoris and the ways in which language impacts the treatment we receive as patients.

    The Beauty Industry: Diet Culture’s Fraternal Twin

This week, writer and beauty culture critic Jessica DeFino, author of the Substack The Unpublishable, sheds light on the alarming power of the beauty industrial complex. She and Unruly host Kimberly Drew unpack terms like “anti-aging” and how we are sold products under the guise of empowerment.
