If anyone knows Drew’s lore, you know The Office is one of her top shows, I’m SO happy for her!!
-
It gives me such joy knowing how many TERRIBLE MEN love The Office who will see this and be devastated Rainn Wilson is complimenting Drew for an hour. 😁 (Also a huge fan of The Office and enjoyed this so much)
-
drew’s wisdom honestly helped me escape an abusive relationship the more i thought “what would drew think about the way im being treated rn” or “what would drew think of what he just said to me”the more strength i gathered to leave and i did eventually and im gunna keep her wisdoms in my head moving forward💗
-
As a feminist for 5 decades and a victim of the dark men you are speaking of starting with my dad and mom of a 15 yr old daughter, I thank you for your bravery Drew.
-
Im glad she mentioned the pedo problem. She shows the real side of some men
-
she’s a real one thanks for having drew
-
She describes the same men who are angry at women who choose to stay single and live their own hero's journeys. Same type of men who call these women "childless cat ladies". Sorry to burst their bubble but these women are free, happy and grateful that for the first time in history, they are now able to take care of themselves and their community without feeling obligated to cater to a man. Something we've always been completely capable of but have been deterred and brainwashed away from doing so. Decenter men and as Drew says, "the world opens up". I love it!
-
Me when I saw this pop up: “fantastic, gimme 14 of em right now” I love both of you
-
Drew is so well spoken and passionate, you can feel how much she cares about her fanbase. This interview was so refreshing, she’s an amazing role model!
-
I don’t “handle hate” gracefully either. Nor should any human. Truth exists. A spade is a spade.
-
"It's easy to do it from afar but can you do it when it's right next to you?" Drew, that is such a profound way to describe supporting a marginalized group!!! Everybody claims to be an ally but if it was your family member that came out, or started dating interracially, or even stated to say racist or homophobic things themselves, would you stand up or show support for that marginalized group? Or would you stay silent (or worse make it about your discomfort or fear)?
-
Her conversation about internalized fat phobia was really important to me. Fat is a descriptor, it shouldn't be a word that is associated with self worth and this is so important for me to teach my daughter
-
I absolutely LOVE that Drew cusses so naturally and fluidly within her passion for women’s and minorities’ rights and at no point does it diminish her points. Stunning woman and absolutely captivating!
-
i really appreciate her approach to conflict, humoring yourself while embarrassing and cornering perpetrators is definitely something ive employed in my life especially regarding my asshat father! shes such an inspiration of how she views the world and relationships!
-
Drew is the clap back we’ve all needed! She is the textbook definition of when they go low we go LOWERRER
-
Drew has inspired me, a disabled(autism) femme person to stand up for myself and advocate for myself. Drew is my hero. Thanks for having her on your show Rainn
-
Drew has honestly changed my life, I'm so inspired to use my feminine rage to lift all of my sisters up, and getting to cackle while doing so! Thank you for having her on, I'm now a fan of this pod because of her interview!
-
I don't think i have ever been this emotional for an Anology before and especially because i have been following drew for a while now, the Anology off "It's like a burning Building and i'm just the one that found the Door and holding it open for everyone (or who chooses to) to get out, the Building is gonna burn down regardless" has got me sobbing for like 5 minutes now It's absolutely true and it might sound like a pretentious statement to people not familiar with her person, but thats exactly who she is. And its so selfless too, because holding the door open for a extented period of time takes a toll on someone too, she could also just have been like well i figured it out for my self for the most part i'm good, but she doesn't love this woman doown, and i really need people to know that just because she is not "nice" (atleast to bigoted men) doesn't mean she isn't kind, and she is so kind. all the love, thank you for this great episode <3

A lot of people stop at Drew’s “silly” TikTok’s without actually getting to know the basis and foundation as to why she speaks the way she does and feels the way she does. She’s extremely intelligent and I’m so grateful to the work that she does, it’s genuinely impactful.

I have 3 brothers and they all are red pill. It’s terrifying. I am not joking. Had to separate myself
