Like the idea that anything a woman does is good because she's a woman, you know?

And the problem, the reason it's white feminism is because that mindset where you're only considering the gender aspect and you're not considering all the other ways that somebody's identity

might impact how they exist in the world. It privileges white women because white women

already are operating at an advantage, you know? Welcome to the edge of sports podcast.

This week we talked to sports journalist Natalie Weiner about her column,

The Double-Edged Sword of Women's women's empowerment. It's about the National

Women's Hockey League and Barstool Sports. Also, I have choice words about the Super Bowl's

woke capitalism, and to just stand up and just sit down award that goes to the same damn person.

But first, Natalie Weiner.

Every week in her good form column, this journalist explores the ways in which the sports

world's structural inequalities and injustices illuminate those outside it and the ways in which

they're inextricably connected. And you certainly do that, Natalie,

with this column, the double-edged sort of women's empowerment. Congratulations on a really stirring

strong argument. I really appreciated the column. Thank you. That means a lot. I mean, obviously,

it's like with that kind of mission statement, you know, this is like well-trodden territory, you know,

like this is kind of, you know, what other journals like you and plenty of other people have

been doing for a long time. But it's definitely a cool opportunity that they've been letting me

do that in a consistent way. No, it's terrific stuff. And we'll put out the link, of course,

so people can read all the columns you've done. But I was thinking I wanted to do this interview a little differently. I was thinking about some of my listeners, a lot of whom aren't, are like political people who may not necessarily be in the sports. And so I'm hoping like I can just ask you some really basic questions. Is that okay?

Yeah, yeah, of course. Like I'm actually, I'm thinking about members of my ask you some really basic questions. Is that okay? Yeah, yeah, of course.

Like, I'm actually, I'm thinking about members of my family who listen to this podcast.

That's what I'm really doing.
