Imagine we women having the confidence to just go ahead and make or say something and put it out into the public without worrying way too much about making mistakes, saying too much, saying too little, saying it wrong, or sounding too this or that? Men just put stuff out there all the time even when they don't know what they're talking about. So let's just put it out there, the mistakes and the questions and all the incredibly important words that incredibly important women want to share. WMSTpodcast offers feminist analysis of current issues. Patriarchy is a terrible idea.
