Meghan Murphy is the editor of Feminist Current, a website and podcast dedicated to women’s issues and protecting female spaces. She also hosts The Same Drugs where she and her guests tackle topics like third-wave feminism, gender ideology, and cencorship.
Many people know Meghan as the woman who got banned from Twitter in 2018. She’s been on The Joe Rogan Experience a few times to tell her story. And she just got let back on the platform after Elon Musk bought the company.

As of this recording, her channel has 22k subscribers. Despite going through online cancellation, libel, and death threats, she manages to just have a great sense of humor about everything. She speaks her mind always and inspires others to do the same.
Meghan and I cover: the 3 tweets that got her banned from Twitter, what feminism really is, the overprescription of anti-depressants and ADHD medication, the pros and cons of being an independent creator, what it’s like to be “cancelled” and lose friends because of that, and finally, Meghan tells me what a woman is.
