Podcaster Laura graciously commented on our Gilman/Gilligan episode in the first few minutes of her most recent Fully Engaged Feminism podcast.
She thought we were not harsh enough on Gilman for her eugenics views and found our approach to gender, "especially our references to trans individuals," somewhat frustrating. I don't actually recall any references at all to trans individuals, but clearly this is a sensitive topic; perhaps she or others can clue us in to which texts or insights we apparently didn't have sufficiently in mind during the discussion.
She appreciated our discussion of exploitation, which was entirely Azzurra's insertion into the discussion, as it wasn't explicitly the subject of the texts we were reading. So, I guess her feminist intuitions are on the mark.
The bulk of the episode is an interview with Internet comic guy Gabby Schulz about a cartoon he did about feminism about Internet blather that generated a lot of Internet blather.
