Are you a shit feminist? Us too. It's ok. The theory that being a bad feminist is a really good thing. Women commenting on each others appearance: innocent fun or a bit wrong? Plus, crying in public, Kanye's sex breath, and the desperate plea for the return of baby Gary. Show notes Sarah MacDonald's wikipedia is here. Mia Freedman has one too! (Monique Bowley does not have one 'cos she is a wikinobody but she is on facebook which is the poor cousin) The best bits from when women took over Q and A Roxane Gay's book: Bad Feminist. There's a crisis in baby names. Poor Gary. Abbott gets a report card as Minister For Women Andrew Chan is engaged, despite waiting for execution. Extraordinary revelations of sexism in the medical profession. Cate Blanchett is making Mia feel quite the underachiever. Elizabeth Gilbert really liked Sarah's book, Holy Cow. Elizabeth Gilbert gave this amazing tedx presentation. And if you stole Monique's bike, or you know where it is, she would really like it back. She misses it and needs it badly. The bike is a Trek Lexa. This is her on it. (Not crying). You can email the show: [email protected] or like us on Facebook.

This special breakout podcast is what everyone's talking about, yelling about, protesting about and disagreeing about: Fifty Shades of Grey. We take two women that have seen it, each with a different view. One, a sunshiny soul who hadn't read the books and didn't know what to expect. The other, a fiery, give-no-shits powerhouse who devoured all three books, and loved them "with one hand." What happens? Shit goes down is what. This is the definitive guide to the drama and controversy. The sex scenes. The global reviews. The wider social message this movie is provoking. And, above all, the answer to whether you should bother seeing it. As Monique says, "It's like Margaret and David. With a lot more fucks." *warning. Swear jar. Adult themes. Show notes Kate Leaver is a Senior Editor at Mamamia Shelly Horton is a TV host/ producer and regular on Channel 7. Monique Bowley should have brought a dictionary along. The show facebook page is here And you can email [email protected] Is Mia Freedman the only other woman that wasn't offended? The Lisa Wilkinson review that's gone viral. Rosie Waterland's astonished re-cap/review And the anti-domestic violence group who say there are 10 ways that Fifty Shades glorifyies abusive relationships. The story of the White Ribbon Fundraiser that was cancelled. And....the soundtrack to the film is phenoms.

As this weekend's release of the steamiest movie of the year looms, not everyone is rushing out to buy a ticket.  With calls to boycott the movie for "glorifying" violence against women, we ask; why is there such a real-life response to this fictional story? The "debasement" continues when Monique is cornered into admitting something verrrrry private. Mega songstress superstar Sia has a social phobia that sees her don wigs for events, cover her face on TV, and wear a paper bag over her head for magazine covershoots. Her approach has raised some interested questions in the age of celebrity: could anxiety ever be used as a marketing tool? And is it possible to like Jacqui Lambie? Show notes Rosie Waterland expected the movie to be a cheesy laugh.  Instead, she walked out on the verge of tears. Lisa Wilkinson ripped it a new one, giving it one star. And that's was just for the choc-top she consoled herself with.  Here's 10 deeply disturbing things about Fifty Shades of Grey Monique is still blushing. Please send messages of support or disbelief to the show facebook page or twitter @moniquebowley  Steve Knopper from Rolling Stone wrote this great longform profile about Sia and her social phobia,  published in the New York Times Magazine. The full Jacqui Lambie interview from ABC's Hack is here. (The reporter was Jo Lauder, it's really interesting listening, and an excellent podcast). Read more about Mia's TV obsession, Scandal.

What's it really like being on a reality TV show? Monique knows. She's been on one. And she hasn't eaten a croissant since. Also, it's Rebel Wilson's birthday but her actual real-life age is a mystery. Why are we so scared of getting older? Mia had a conversation about the pill with both her mother and her 9 year old daughter...but for good reason. And there's a new food movement that is the polar opposite of Pete Evans. Show notes Monique on The Great Australian Bakeoff. (Also you should try baking that spiced cider bread. It is frickin amazing). Mia is obsessed with The Alex Baldwin podcast - click through or search "Here's The Thing" in itunes. Jam mentioned this Rebecca Sparrow article about Ageing being a privilege If you haven't read To Kill A Mockingbird you should put it on your list. It's a classic.

Tony Abbott cocked up this knighthood all on his own, so why is his chief of staff Peta Credlin getting all the heat? Sam Armytage poses in a swimsuit and we ask: was it empowering, predictable, or insulting? In defence of oversized, beige coloured undies. And why Australia needs a judge to rule against parents who name their babies after breakfast spreads. Show notes: Why is Peta Credlin's job on the line? The Sam Armytage cover that has everyone talking The woman that has stopped wearing leggings because they 'entice' men. And poor baby Nutella, who shall no longer be named after a delicious hazelnut spread. Mia loves the Startup Podcast. Jamila mentioned the book Freakonomics: the baby name information is here.
