Welcome to the Double X Gap Fest for Thursday, November 3rd, the Good Girls Revolt edition.

I'm Hannah Rosen, a host of NPR's Invisibilia.

I am joined by June Thomas, editor of Outward Slate's LGBT blog. Hi, June. Hey, Hannah. And subbing in for Noreen this morning, I actually don't know where Noreen is, but subbing in for Noreen is Christina Kottorucci, a Slate's staff writer. Hi, Christina. Hi, Hannah. So our three topics today, the feminist revolution and the Republican Party, Newt Gingrich versus Megan Kelly, and many other showdowns that are happening. Second, the new Amazon show, Good Girls Revolt, about a civil rights lawsuit against a news magazine in the late 60s based on a true event. And finally, Chelsea Clinton and what we learn about her from the email leaks.

And our Slate Plus topic, June, can you tell us about that?

Yes. In our Slate Plus segment, we'll discuss whether the UN is sexist. If you're not yet a Slate Plus member, you can start your free two-week trial by visiting slate.com slash xx plus.

Okay, so let's start with the feminist revolution.

The current wave of feminist anger is coming from the Republican Party.

On the post Roger Ailes Fox News, there was a showdown between Megan Kelly and Newt Gingrich,

which started a lot of hand-wringing and op-eds and Twitter and social media of prominent Republican women who are furious at their party for failing to condemn Trump. So before we get going, let's just listen to a second from this clip for people who haven't heard it. It is a long showdown, and I really recommend we'll include a link on our show page. You go listen to it. But we'll just play a minute at the end,

which has gotten a lot of play where Newt Gingrich accuses Megan Kelly of being, ladies.

Fascinated with sex. Fascinated with sex. I'm worst of all, uninterested in public policy

the racist said of all. When you want to go back through the tapes of your show recently,

you are fascinated with sex and you don't care about public policy.

Well, that's what I get out of watching you tonight.

You know what, Mr. Speaker, I'm not fascinated by sex.

But I am fascinated by the protection of women

and understanding what we're getting in the Oval Office.

And I think the American voters would like to know.

And therefore, we're going to send Bill Clinton back to the East Wing because, after all, you are worried about sexual predators.

Yeah, listen, it's not about me.
