The hosts examine Michelle Wallace's 1979 book *Black Macho and the Myths of the Superwoman*. They argue that while the "Superwoman" archetype (represented by figures like Beyonce and Oprah) was embraced by the media, Wallace herself has been marginalized or "white-balled" by history. They note the difficulty in finding high-quality contemporary interviews with her despite her academic career.
The hosts apply their analysis of media influence to the public narrative surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. They suggest the media portrays Harry as "pussy whipped" and Meghan as the "superwoman" taking charge. They argue that taking down the monarchy—the ultimate patriarchy—serves a larger ideological goal of attacking nationalism and traditional male roles.
