The Guilty Feminist

Sara Pascoe, comedian and writer known for exploring sex, gender and the body, joins for a lively reunion. They revisit early shows on life drawing and pornography. Conversations turn to how porn shapes arousal, parenting and screen time, comedy’s role in shifting attitudes, and the tensions of feminist activism and hope for a fairer future.

Aoife Dunne, comedian and lively co-host, and Adele Zeynep Walton, author and campaigner on online harms, dive into social media’s addictive design and cultural FOMO. They debate generational device habits, manosphere dangers and decline porn. They discuss regulation, activism like Pull the Plug, practical Logging Off Club tips, AI risks and how to make being offline socially normal.

Adele Zeynep Walton, British-Turkish journalist and author campaigning on tech accountability, and Aoife Dunne, Irish comedian and co-presenter, tackle algorithms, AI and online harms. They discuss addictive design, toxic forums linked to suicide, legal gaps around platform responsibility, political stakes of tech regulation, and practical ways to make online spaces safer.
