Unladylike podcast

Unladylike

Where feminism meets fringe. Host Cristen Conger dissects the myths, messes and media shaping modern womanhood—and un-womanhood. From bisexual imposter syndrome to tall girl therapy, gun culture to birth control backlash, she mentions it all—backed by deep research, sharp interviews, and just enough unseriousness to demystify the uncanny valley of 21st-century patriarchy without doomspiraling. Gender. Power. Culture. Context. Unladylike.
