#512 They Freed The Wrong Celebrity

Alise, Milly, Amanda, and Kaitlin are back for our first weekly episode with a new pop culture/feminism focus -- just in time for Bill Cosby’s release. They discuss the complicated nature of Cosby’s newfound freedom and look at how the system was designed to fail the women who sacrificed so much to get justice. They react to Phylicia Rashad’s painful response and whether it’s Black women who should be punished for men’s actions. Finally, they discuss why Bill Cosby is free when Britney Spears isn’t.  CW: This episode does not contain descriptions of sexual assault, but does discuss how sexual assault cases move through the justice system in a manner that may be triggering for some listeners.
