For these liberal women, the future of Democratic politics is still female
There were two kinds of women waiting in line outside of the Anthem theater for the 40th anniversary celebration of Emily's List, the organization dedicated to electing Democratic women who support abortion rights: Those who'd arrived straight from work, and those who'd had time to change. The former showed up in variations of the liberal working woman's uniform: black pants, oversize blazers and comfortable closed-toe shoes, all in neutral shades. The latter arrived in the vestments of girlboss-meets-girlhood: Barbie-pink power suits and flouncy floral dresses.

Is Dear Media's Podcast Network the ‘Manosphere' for Women?
Men dominate the top of the podcasting charts. As listeners, they slightly outnumber women, too. 'Brocasters' and the 'manosphere' have even become a media obsession, and for good reason. During the election, conservatives successfully tapped into a world of dude-driven content to reach disengaged voters. But there has been a surge of podcasts made by women, for women, too. And a company called Dear Media is at the center of much of it. Based in Austin, Texas, Dear Media operates the largest network of podcasts for women. Its nearly 100 shows are as freewheeling and chummy as those in the 'manosphere,' similarly hosted by comedians and content creators. Except here, Joe Rogan's alpha masculinity and Logan Paul's unabashed idiocy are swapped for girlboss confidence and therapy speak. Gone, too, is the overt conservatism that now blankets the manosphere — but not all of its ideas. Dear Media emphasizes health and wellness in its programming, at times dipping into the same kind of contrarian thinking that powers Make America Healthy Again, the agenda of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
