Welcome to Call Your Girlfriends.

A podcast for long distance festies everywhere.

I am Amina Tussaud.

And I'm Anne Friedman.

On this week's agenda, why it's so hard to take a woke vacation,

the dominatrix who requires the men who hire her to read Black feminist theory,

new legislation promises to end sex trafficking, but actually endangered sex workers,

and an artist on her efforts to build the patriarchy

for all of her emotional labor and uncompensated hours of household and child care labor.

Plus a bonus story about that time, Amina converted a Trump supporter

while she was at a bar in Jamaica.

Ready you just met somebody new.

Hi Anne Friedman, how's it going?

Hey, hey, hey, I'm okay.

I'm in like, I'm in like a midweek slump.

I know people are listening to this on Friday, which is like not a slumpy day,

but like, I truly think that like, I have some like, you know, freelance fire

and my loins on Mondays and like Fridays.

I've really structured for myself slash it's almost the weekend.

I don't know, I used to kind of eye roll at office cartoons that are like Wednesdays,

aren't they hard or like hump day?

And like, but I really come to realize that like I relate to that.
