Electing Women w/ Jess McIntosh - Ep. 127

We have more women in the current congress than ever before, but
they still only make up 23.7%. Political commentator and strategist
Jess McIntosh (SiriusXM Progress) joins us in these extraordinary
times to dyke out about the challenges women politicians face in
getting elected, and why it's important to have them in office. How
did we go from such a diverse field of democratic candidates for
president, including six women, to ending up with just another old
white guy? (Note: We recorded the interview portion of this episode
a few days before Bernie Sanders dropped out of the race.) Plus,
Carolyn and Melody discuss how their lives as New York City
comedians has drastically changed. Should they adapt to this new
normal, or ride it out in hopes that things will go back to how
they were - minus the handshakes. Finally, we end on a question
from a listener who is struggling with knowing whether she is
asexual or just hasn't met the right person. -Get extra episodes by
