We see it over and over again: women are seen as "weak" by so many religions around the world. It's a topic nobody really likes to talk about, so naturally - we're jumping in headfirst. Prepare to question everything. Or not.Have any questions, comments, stories or bad dad jokes you'd like to share with us? Email us: exposeshow@thetempest.co.

We're late, we're late, but we hope you'll forgive us!It's the showdown of the century, aided by the incredible folks at the WIL Forum (naseba.com): do people of color really deal with mental health issues? If you identify as a POC, you've probably heard people tell you to "get over it" if you're dealing with anything that's a point of difficulty. So we've brought on two special guests, and given Donya the reins to totally bring the conversation to the forefront this week.Have any questions, comments, stories or bad dad jokes you'd like to share with us?

Screw being great, where's the humanity gone? Esther takes control of this episode, and schools us all on what it really means to be a DREAMer and what DACA is actually all about. How does class play into immigration? Why should other communities of color care? And what can we even do about all of this?Spanish episode of Sailor Moon, courtesy of Esther: https://youtu.be/fjeWeLzqQ5g Have any questions, comments, stories or bad dad jokes you'd like to share with us?

Warning: This episode contains content that may be difficult for some listeners. We've all heard about it, talked about it - even experienced it. What do eating disorders really look like, especially within immigrant and ethnically diverse communities? Does recovery really look the same as what we see in the movies?

IT'S A TWO-IN-ONE EPISODE, Y'ALL. We're not here to mess around, but when it comes to the world of mansplaining, it's time to have some fun. Guest star Asma Elgamal, Senior News & Society Editor at The Tempest, brings in a whirlwind of problems and we tackle the world of feminism through men's eyes. There also might be a part we atone a past sin - maybe.Have any questions, comments, stories or bad dad jokes you'd like to share with us? Email us: exposeshow@thetempest.co.

We're off for the season break, but we'll be back mid-September with new taboos, new conversations - and a new host! Until then, enjoy past episodes - and tweet us suggestions at @theexposeshow! // Many cultures don't understand postpartum depression and put a lot of pressure on women who are married to have babies. Can't there be something wrong with the man in the cis-relationship? Why are women always blamed for not having babies? We tackle all of that in one honest rundown, featuring our Community Editor, Saffiyya Mohamed, and Editorial Fellow, Ariana Munsamy, as well as special guest, Doula Hira Khan, founder of BirthKeeper, providing prenatal services and education to the global Muslim community.Pre-order Hira's book, "A Gift from Jannah:" https://thetempest.co/TheExposepreorder.Have any questions, comments, stories or bad dad jokes you'd like to share with us?

Why is fair skin so culturally driven not only in South Asian countries but around the world? What happens when things get personal - really, really personal? Fair skin has been equated to wealth/power, creating a stigma that dark skinned women are undesirable - so what are we going to do about it?

WE WENT THERE. AND WE STAYED THERE.If you're a die-hard fan of "13 Reasons Why" you should probably tune into this. Or not. We tear the show's foundations to bits and dive deep into health, suicide, sexual assault, and trauma. Is it time to start re-assessing what we feed teens on TV? Or was Netflix right in moving the show forward? And how is there even going to be a second season?If you are sensitive to any of the above topics, we recommend your passing over this episode.Have any questions, comments, stories or bad dad jokes you'd like to share with us?

It's official: there's a full-fledged attack on our bodies, courtesy of complicit (Ivanka, pay note!) government officials. The proposed healthcare systems are personal - extremely so.

We've all had that moment - the one where you just want to lay down petty rebuttals to the world's microaggressions in one dope song. At least, Mona did - and we covered everything from misplaced misogyny to what sparked her explosion into the music industry in one snarky episode.

It's May 1st, which most people know as International Workers’ Day or Labour Day. So we get our fingers right into what needs to be discussed: is protesting a privilege? Are we going to remember the workers who fought and died protesting for 8-hour work days, the end of child labor, and worker rights? And what about the undocumented people within the US - are we going to recognize them?Have any questions, comments, stories or bad dad jokes you'd like to share with us?

It's the question on everyone's minds: what made United Airlines feel like it could abuse its customers the way it did - and will things really change in the future? The incident went viral for a few reasons, the least of which was just how unpopular airports are these days. Does this overlap at all with the #MuslimBan?

The Women's March opened up (once again)the can of privileged worms, demonstrated perfectly with the sign, “I’ll see you nice white ladies at the next #BlackLivesMatter March, right?” So we're here to ask that big, taboo question: Has white feminism become a movement - or is it just a brand?Have any questions, comments, stories or bad dad jokes you'd like to share with us?

The struggle is real, people. What happens when the person you're seeing spouts something horribly misogynistic? Like, level 1000+? Are they actually worthy of your awesomeness? And what gives with women who forgive men who are just...pussy-grabbing awful? Because, you know. Trump. Have any questions, comments, stories or bad dad jokes you'd like to share with us?

Post-election, social media has become a storm of angry tweets, un-friending Facebook friends, and tiring discussions in comments that lead nowhere.

We take a deep dive into the world of protests and hands-on activism, because in a world where policy brutality is the norm, you have to have some life hacks to thriving - and surviving. Esther and Kat touch upon everything from your rights to Law & Order: SVU, while Laila's off this week - but that's totally cool, because she'll be back next Wednesday!Have any questions, comments, stories or bad dad jokes you'd like to share with us?

It's time to take things down another route - the one where you take care of yourself, even as everyone else is screaming about the latest tweet that our President has put out. Esther talks resistance, Kat talks family confrontations, and Laila talks... well, Laila goes off on a rant. Plus: We bring in our Senior News & Society Editor to give you the latest in news this week (the irony, right?). Oh!

The title says it all— we debate whether or not marriage is an outdated institution. We all want our fairytale weddings and tax benefits, but does marriage really mean something as an institution that is no longer driven by transactional or political intent?

Writing is storytelling, and there are so many women whose stories go unheard. That’s why it’s so important to write, not just as a feminist, but as an individual.

South Korean dramas have a developed a large international audience in recent years. Those tuning in regularly originate from an array of countries and encompass a wide range of races. The language barrier is easily bridged by the subtitles provided by many different websites created for that purpose alone. So what's with the obsession?

It shouldn’t be a surprise that a girl can throw hands. Yet, we become hooked by entertainment scenes monikered “cat-fights,” to the point that it has become an assumed stereotype of women. It’s not all claws, back stabbing, squeals, and high-pitched screams. Sometimes, it's indicative of a larger problem - and we lay it all out there with University College London alumna Emilie Lawrence.Have any questions, comments, stories or bad dad jokes you'd like to share with us?

To each their own, right? Judging someone is easy, but feminism is about accepting women for who they are regardless of what they wish to do. In this episode, we examine 'party girls' and the public perception of them. Do feminism and partaking in 'party girl culture' have to be mutually exclusive?

We ask that question, among others, to Natalia Sylvester, author of Chasing the Sun, whose family made the decision to leave Peru amidst political and gang-related turmoil.
