Dave Zirin: Fucking While Feminist Episode 28

Why is so much of sports culture so toxic when it comes to sexuality, and can it be changed? Jaclyn caught up with The Nation's first an only sports columnist Dave Zirin to talk trans athletes, abusive coaches, rape culture, Brittney Griner, "no homo," Batman's nipples, the power of feminist moms, and the sportswriting of Susan B. Anthony. Then we take on an advice question from a listener who's feeling challenged by navigating the poly scene in a brown, curvy body, especially because she has a partner who's telling her how to feel about it all.  Recorded live at the National Conference for Media Reform!Click here to listen.Links for this show:
