Fainting Couch Feminists Episode 24: How To Have A Feminist Wedding Featuring Mallory Tater

All-star guest and friend Mallory Tater is back to discuss the glory of matrimony and how she and poet-husband Curtis Leblanc pulled off the most spectacularly woke engagement and wedding probably ever on earth. We discuss and dissect traditions such as: elaborate surprise engagements, the father giving away the bride (like a dang mule for trade), the garter toss (gag me), white dresses, and the shocking and sexually violent significance of cutting the cake.

Writer and musician Mica Lemiski interviews women and non-binary artists about a range of topics (gender! politics! love! literature!) in a podcast best-suited to bitches, witches, and anyone who’s ever been called “hysterical.”

(Spoiler alert: the knife = the penis.) Also featured: Mica digresses about the Sweet 16 she never had and roasts Margaret Atwood. Cool!
