In this episode, Amanda and Jenna talk about the allegations of Chris Noth being a rapist (damn it, Mr. Big, you were only supposed to be a fictional a-hole), and Apple's AirTags that stalkers everywhere are celebrating for making their hobby easier (fanfuckingtastic). After that, we break down the details of the Vanessa Guillén murder from 2020. After telling her mom and a few close friends that she was begin sexually harassed on base at Fort Hood—including the fact that a superior walked in on her while she was showering—she went missing on April 22. Turns out, one or more people in the Army did not want her to report what was going on. It spurred the #IamVanessaGuillen hashtag and subsequent legislation of the same name, included in a bill signed into law by President Biden this year. Sidenote: Vanessa is one of 39 soldiers who died or went missing from Fort Hood in 2020 alone and base officials have been strangely quiet about their inability to keep servicemembers safe. Remember, there are advocates, nonprofits and shelters designed to help keep survivors safe. You don't have to stay silent.

In 2014, a 22-year-old man reached the height of violent male entitlement and decided to go on a killing spree because women weren't giving him the sex, even after he put on his best creepy smile to try and flirt. Elliot Rodger killed six individuals and injured 14 more before taking his own life. Jenna and Amanda delve into how this isn't a gun-control problem, this is a toxic masculinity problem. How even without his 600 rounds of ammunition, Rodger would have still murdered men and women who he felt wronged him because women's bodies were owed to him. Before that, we talk about why Chrystul Kizer deserves her freedom after escaping child sexual abuse and human sex trafficking. A real upper of an episode for this Monday, we know. Don't worry, before Christmas, we'll make an episode about happy things, we promise.
