We are hoping these episodes will motivate you to organize and fight back as feminists for all marginalized bodies, which is to say, the bodies targeted by fascism. By connecting the dots and seeing how this fascism operates by making us the enemy, but also by trying to get us to fight one another, we hope to change the future. One feminist episode at a time. Special thanks to the team, Laurie Essig, Alison Segar, Harper Nichols, El Fahey, Daisy Kulina, Ruthie Brown, and many more!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-31T04:20:51.113745+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/feminism-fascism-and-the-future-6713092"},"episode":{"title":"7.1.

The GoP and even some Dems have been using this lie to attack professors, often feminist scholars who are themselves Jewish. In this part of the episode, we talk to Nicole Morse, former head of gender studies at Florida Atlantic University, and Jessica Pabon, who taught gender studies at SUNY New Paltz. Both were punished by their institutions for criticizing Israeli policy in Gaza.","meta_description":"In this episode we talk about the BIG LIE: that any criticism of Israel is anti-semitism.
