On Backtalk, Bitch Media editors Amy and Sarah talk about current feminism and pop culture. This week, the big news is that Republicans are turning on Donald Trump, putting together a viral ad about some of the most sexist things he’s said. We also discuss race and gender at the James Beard Awards and how the restaurant industry is a hotbed of sexual harassment.
Also on this episode, shout-out to some artists to follow on Instagram: photographer @arvidabystrom and the folks featured in recent article “No Filter,” @highmija, @mujeresdemaiz, @thebiggirlscode, and @xicanisma_.
On Backtalk, we always share one thing we read, heard, and saw this week.

SAW: Amy is binge-watching the new season of House of Cards.
HEARD: We love this song “Earth Intro” by musician and activist shirlette ammons.
