Marxist feminists vs. internet discourse on sex, Fleabag, & lamenting abysmal media literacy/comprehension levels

The Lavender Menace - A podcast by Renaissance & Sunny

Categories:

Episode 6 of our 3rd season- in which we discuss hot takes about reading theory, fanfiction, the split attraction model, sex work, and tumblr queers. Sunny reads some excerpts from Caliban and the Witch by Sylvia Federici to make some points about Marxist feminism. Renaissance has finally effectively forced Sunny into watching Phoebe Waller Bridge's TV series Fleabag, because there's been a recent internet phenomenon of people talking about being in their "Fleabag era." Clearly, media literacy is something many people lack. In return, Sunny forced Renaissance to read Last Night At The Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo, a young adult historical lesbian romance novel. Renaissance recommends the new Disney animated movie Encanto (we love to hate on Lin-Manuel Miranda- as we should) in the vein of generational family stories, and Sunny recommends the We Set The Dark On Fire duology by Tehlor Kay Mejia in the vein of sapphic YA novels.
