The podcast episodes discuss how the guests, Tig Notaro and Kathleen Hanna, have challenged traditional gender norms and expectations throughout their careers.

In Pop Culture Moms Talks to Tig, Tig discusses processing the death of her mother and raising twins, which challenges the conventional idea of motherhood. In Kathleen Hanna, Hanna talks about her trailblazing work in the punk feminist movement, where she confronted double standards and created safe spaces for women in the punk scene.

Both episodes highlight how the guests have pushed back against societal norms and stereotypes, embracing their own unique identities and expressions of femininity.
