White Picket Fence interrogates the structures of inequity affecting women since the United States' founding. On the newest season, host Julie Kohler investigates a long-brewing gender backlash that’s reached a boiling point in American politics. Join us in pulling back the curtain on an extremist agenda designed to enforce strict gender roles. An agenda that stands to harm millions of Americans. We're examining the ways this backlash is showing up in our policies, our culture—even the social media content we scroll past every day. And we're asking what becomes possible when we imagine a future beyond the gender binary. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We’ve spent a lot of time this season investigating the current marriage panic. The pro-marriage crew is sounding alarm bells that if we don’t start marrying, and quit divorcing, things in the U.S. will only get worse. B

This season, we're diving into the hallowed institution of marriage. We want to know why so many people are getting so whipped up over the ways that Americans are — or are not — forming relationships and building familie

Much of the motherhood activism that is lifted up in our politics portrays women in a certain way: as uniquely moral, even apolitical, actors who were compelled to take action because they fear for their children’s safet
The political identity of "mother" is not owned by the right. There's also a rich history of mothers working to advance progressive change. Yet the framing of much of this activism—a mother spurred to action when awakene
