Know Your Enemy She's Got a Plan (w/ Rebecca Traister)
Matt and Sam talk to Rebecca Traister of New York magazine about sexism and electoral politics.

And how do conservative women like Sarah Palin use traditional womanhood and femininity to their advantage? Listen to find out!
Traister is the author of Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger.
