  • Childless Cat Ladies and Crying Men — A Cultural Exchange

    Childless Cat Ladies and Crying Men — A Cultural Exchange
    Jan 26 2026
    @misandristmemes is joined by @meme.phistopheles (aka Sean) for a solid yap sesh. Topics include: unlearning emotional repression, toxic masculinity as a perversion of stoicism, how to unironically use the word ally in the context of feminism, and like 45 other tangents. Patriarchy hurts everyone. Gatekeeping protects the gate but can also block resources. Your bf should go to therapy. Societal conditioning sucks and everyone's tired ._.

    Check out Sean’s book “Everything Will Be Okay“, available pretty much everywhere!

  • Let the Gals Have Their Smut: In Defense of Twilight

    Let the Gals Have Their Smut: In Defense of Twilight
    Jan 16 2026
    Twilight receives a lot of criticism. Romance novels and love triangles, which teenage girls tend to enjoy, are treated as cringe. The problematic but fantastical (& impossible to recreate irl) age gap gets framed as dangerous messaging. While another massively popular series filled with incest and nonconsensual sex earned mainstream fame without the same scrutiny. But unlike many other fantasy bestsellers, Twilight was written by a woman, marketed to young women, and it became a punchline. We don't have to personally love it, but let's not yuck anyone's yum. It's not hurting the culture, and teen girls are allowed little a treat.

    Includes references to the aptly named ContraPoints episode: "Twilight"

  • Finding Your Voice In Rooms That Want To Shut You Up

    Finding Your Voice In Rooms That Want To Shut You Up
    Dec 24 2025
    Meet the lovely Alaina Shearer! Alaina launched a nationwide network for women in tech, founded a marketing agency, somehow raised kids while doing all this, and oh yeah ran for Congress that one time?? Along the way she learned to navigate and push back in male dominated fields — including as a radio host, and working for a Don Draper-level sexist stripped of anything that resembles charming. Officially the most grown-up adult we’ve ever interviewed, Alaina has wonderful insights to share as a bonafide girlboss (NOT sarcastically for once).

    (**Alison decided to record this one underwater. Just for fun. Or maybe the audio settings were jacked, the quality suffered, and we're really sorry. Glub glub.)
