The Feminist Bar Podcast 🍸

Patriarchy Made Me Fake Orgasms

In this week's episode, I have a drink with Pee (aka Pia_Sumn) to chat about sex during adulthood and how we have come to know and speak for our bodies. What are some of the reasons adult women continue to fake sexual pleasure? Is there an empowered way to have sex? 

Make all Babies Feminists

In this episode I sit down with Kawire from Kenya to talk about her experience of feminist motherhood, dealing with environments that are not always in her control and the hardships of maneuvering and communicating the absence of a father figure. Will conservative norms ever free us from limited definitions of family?

Free the Gays in Africa

In this week's episode I talk to Lusa, a lawyer/ LGBTQI advocate from Zambia about living queer in Africa, how sexuality has affected friendships & interactions with straight women and finding love in heteronormative spaces. Are we free to find true connections in our home countries ? Can queer people truly live and love in Africa ? 

Patriarchy Rigged Love Languages

In this week's episode, I share a glass of wine with Tashinga Bvekerwa aka Zimbarbiean. We discuss navigating feminism in heterosexual relationships and how we draw the line between things we are expected to do and those we have been taught we have to. Are our love languages a result of socialization? Do our politics isolate us in a way that makes it hard to find love?

Deadbeat Dads Make Feminists

In this episode, I chat with Tawana aka TiniwanaTalks about the role our traumas play in our personal politics and how relationships with father figures speak to how we find or practice our feminism. Do absent fathers make us radical? Are we inescapably shaped by our experience of fatherhood?

Bell Hooks vs Crop Tops

In this episode, I am joined by Shingah from the Philippines. We chat about the evolution of clothing and if that has changed the sexist constructions of our identities. Does empowerment mean equality? Do our crop tops create enough discourse to challenge injustice? Has Bell Hooks been right all along or was that a different time?

Sisterhood Means Defending the Problemats

In this episode, I share a few glasses of wine with Kim, an investment and trade lawyer from Zimbabwe. We chat about the meaning of sisterhood and the role patriarchy plays in the way we build relationships with each other. Are there things we do to other women that might be anti-feminist?

Criminal Fantasies & Feminist Kinks.

In this episode I share a drink with Anita Holland,  gender specialist from Zambia to talk about a podcast episode titled 'Feminists with Rape Fantasies' by Jaclyn Friedman. We share our thoughts on problematic fantasies as an escape from daily reality. What is appropriate and where do we draw the line ?
