Versions of Hyper Violence & Feminine Revolt
In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss the continued assault on women, especially poor women. We discuss a neo-feminist strategy in the form of a collective mass exodus of women from churches across the nation. It may be high time that women finally leave behind the Christian-embedded culture of misogyny as an act of patriotism. We then devolve into a creative tirade of how to perhaps generate a new layer of misinformation for the greater good and drown out other misinformation with our white hat version designed to spoof QAnon and take down Trump, only for the true goal of promoting our podcast.
