I'm just now listening to today's discussion on the women's day strike. I find it funny that Taylor had no interest in the march last month, but is in complete support of something that gives her an excuse to stay holed up in her apartment all day. I don't think her stance has anything to do with feminism. She just wants a free day to stay home and be lazy.

It was laughable. You can tell how out of touch she is when she suggests it's no big deal to take a day off work. When I worked retail, if you called out without a doctor's note, you were fired. I was in college so didn't care much, but for the single moms (and dads) it was a big deal if they needed to leave work for their kids. Not to mention every single hour of pay matters when you're trying to support a family on minimum wage.

Taylor said she doesn't read her Sirius email. How is that even possible? I'm pretty sure if I told my company I wasn't going to read my email because they make me change the password too often, I'd be fired.

Take note, Taylor.

😂 I think she is convinced she went there at this point.

I have been a listener for 8 years and silent reader of this board. Like so many others, I have been enjoying Tay a little less every day despite loving some of the guest hosts (Rob Shuter).  This episode was the straw that broke the camel's back.  It is a very sad day, and just un-favorited the show on my Sirius app and un-followed all WUWT and Taylor social media.  I will no longer listen.  Sometimes I agree with Tay, and sometimes I don't which is a reason that I loved the show.  However, I thought the way she treated her callers/listeners/customers who disagreed with the strike was disgusting.  She is very supportive of those who agree with her but is rude, cold, and dismissive to those who (very politely) are offering a different opinion.  How would she feel if people treated her that way for her opinions?  She is only supportive of women who agree with her at that moment in time, not all women. 

Sorry for the rant, but I'm sad and disappointed.  

I stopped listening as well. I stopped after Kenny left and then came back a few months later to make another attempt to listen. I think I've just outgrown Taylor. She is mentally stuck in her 20s. Which is fine, but not for me. I used to listen because I found her and kenny so entertaining and the show made me laugh. Now that he's gone, she can't carry the show and doesn't offer even light entertainment for me. I'ver moved on to other shows and podcasts that make me laugh and inspire me

No the other day she said they are moving from a 1-bedroom to a studio

To save money? Living in a studio apartment with a significant other sounds like a recipe for disaster.

She's moving to a different apt in the same building. From a 1 bedroom to a studio(or bachelor, as we say in Canada).
 

I was also wondering since I don't listen as deeply and consistently as I used to but did Taylor ever discuss her surprise party? I've only heard it brought up by the cohosts saying they were invited but she seems to sketchily glaze over it...

Listening to this mornings show, God I love Carly!! But did anyone think it was kind of weird when they were on the topic of guys they would never date? I'd think Taylor should've made the subject "type of people you'd never date" not specifically males. She is all about gender equality, love is love, blah blah blah but totally excluded women who date women. Just found it a little odd

"How am I not a feminist?? I'm gay!"....(deep sigh). Wow.

(I apologize in advance for the crassness of this comment), but eating your girlfriend's pussy does not make you a feminist, Taylor.

Shall we reiterate all the shitty things you've ever said about Erin Andrews or Amber Heard? Or Mischa Barton, yesterday? Or your unabashed adoration for Tom Brady who is a cheating sack of shit who left his pregnant girlfriend for a VS model? Or the fact that you believe "hot" women can't be trusted to be nannies, or maids, or secretaries? Or the fact that you couldn't put down your wine for a second to vote in an election that pitted potentially our first female president vs. a total misogynist? Where were you during the Women's March again? I bet it was somewhere that involved your bathtub or bed and wine!

Oh, but you wore red pants that one day, so....
Pathetic.

That comment made me so mad! Gay does not equal feminist. I think the fact that she doesn't vote (in addition to the constant slut-shaming and woman-blaming) is what makes me most angry. People fought for you to have that right - use it! If you care about women's issues then go vote for candidates who support their causes.
