Remember a time before 8 November? A woman was a major political party nominee, pussy was grabbing back, and love was going to Trump hate. Feminism was on the offensive. But now, Donald Trump is our president-elect and things have changed.

This week, host Jessica Valenti talks with Syreeta McFadden, Guardian US contributing opinion writer, Jaclyn Friedman, activist and author, and Aimee Thorne-Thomsen, longtime reproductive health rights and justice advocate, about what comes next.

Has feminism lost the optimism we had before the election? And how do we deal with the trauma of having a president who thinks grabbing women by the pussy doesn’t constitute as sexual assault? How do we move forward again?

What would a feminist do? will be on a curtailed schedule for the winter, running temporarily at one episode per month. But we still want to hear from you. Please join the conversation in the comments below.
