Summary

Alise, Sami, and Amanda start by reacting to Beto O’Rourke’s announcement that he’ll run for governor. Then they discuss how female icons of the 2000s went from tabloid punching bags to feminist heroes. From Taylor Swift owning her music to Britney Spears owning her life and Jessica Simpson owning her name, they unpack an intense week of headlines that restored justice to women previously scorned by our own patriarchal narratives. Also, is Jake Gyllenhaal ok? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
