In this week’s episode, we will be analyzing the online feminist publication, Reductress, a The Onion-style website that employs satirical articles and Podcast episodes to expose how both traditional and new media attempt to capitalize on female empowerment yet still perpetuate unhealthy expectations that debilitate women.
