Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff Mom Never Told You from House Supports
Speaker 1: dot Com. Hello, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Kristen
Speaker 1: and I'm Caroline, and today is a special episode of
Speaker 1: Stuff Mom Never Told You, because we're talking very special
Speaker 1: woman Jane Pratt. Hooray, hooray. Yes, Jane Pratt was the
Speaker 1: founding editor of Sassy Magazine, which launched in nineteen. By
Speaker 1: the way, she was twenty four when she got the job,
Speaker 1: and Sassy was kind of a big deal. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like a touchstone for our our generation, I feel like,
Speaker 1: well especially our generation of women. Yes, it was like
Speaker 1: one of the first, if not the first, kind of
Speaker 1: alternative magazine for young women, because you had things like
Speaker 1: seventeen and teen and then Cosmopolitan, but then there came Yeah,
Speaker 1: and following Sassie came Jane Magazine, which I was also
Speaker 1: super super into as a young woman. Yeah, it launched
Speaker 1: in after Sassy folded, and most recently, Jane Pratt launched
Speaker 1: a few years back. Exo Jane, and a lot of
Speaker 1: Exo Jane focuses on first person essays. Um. The classic
Speaker 1: kind of tagline for a lot of them is it
Speaker 1: happened to me and it's all sorts of stories, um
Speaker 1: about things that have happened to young women and some
Speaker 1: men as well. But we were really excited to have
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to Jane just about her observations
Speaker 1: of young women over the years, the issues that affect us,
Speaker 1: how feminism has influenced her career, and also whether she's
Speaker 1: ever going to bring back Sassy. Yeah. So, without further ado,
Speaker 1: let's hear from Jane herself. So, Jane Pratt, for our
Speaker 1: listeners who have been living under a rock and don't
Speaker 1: know who you are, could you just briefly introduce yourself
Speaker 1: and talk about all the incredible things that you do?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, um Yeah. I'm Jane Pratt and I am
Speaker 1: currently an editor in chief of XO Jane dot com
Speaker 1: and also oversee Exodine, which is a beauty offshoot of Xojin.
Speaker 1: Before this, I had two magazines, one called Jane and
Speaker 1: one before that called Sassy. I've been around doing the
Speaker 1: same basic thing in different media for many, many many years. Well,
Speaker 1: and that leads me to my first big question for you,
Speaker 1: which was since launching Sassy and I believe nineteen and
Speaker 1: now with XO Jane, have the kinds of issue us
Speaker 1: and sort of womanhood conundrums to quite an awkward phrase
Speaker 1: change in what you've heard from your contributors and writers
Speaker 1: and editors over the years, is today's young woman that
Speaker 1: different from the young woman of the early nineties day.
Speaker 1: So I think one of the differences is about pressures
Speaker 1: on on women to do everything. Um. I think it
Speaker 1: used to be kind of this glorious like, oh, you
Speaker 1: can you can do whatever you want to do, you know,
Speaker 1: and that was like the greatest thing that you could
Speaker 1: tell your daughter, you know, that she could do whatever
Speaker 1: she wanted. But now I think that you have to
Speaker 1: be really careful to say, like, you don't have to
Speaker 1: do absolutely everything, um. And then also also to be
Speaker 1: honest about the fact that there are still black ceilings.
Speaker 1: You know what, did I just see the other day
Speaker 1: that four hundred wealthiest c e O s or whatever
Speaker 1: or two hundred, and it was how many of them
Speaker 1: were women? It was like eleven of them or women
Speaker 1: or something like that. You know. So there's still is
Speaker 1: a long way to go. But I think that the
Speaker 1: one one thing that I think hasn't changed is that
Speaker 1: is that most women, I think are still a lot
Speaker 1: smarter than then. They give away on the outside, and
Speaker 1: I'm sort of surprised that that hasn't that we haven't
Speaker 1: evolved past that to where women can just be as
Speaker 1: and and girls especially could just be as open about
Speaker 1: how much is really going on in their minds. That
Speaker 1: is true. Why do you think that is in terms
Speaker 1: of the that perhaps we're still not as socially free
Speaker 1: to be, you know, an open, honest, forthright woman sort
Speaker 1: of like what you're you're talking about. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I think that I think that women still share a
Speaker 1: lot of their really deep itselves and most intelligent selves
Speaker 1: with other women that I think that. I think that
Speaker 1: when men are around, I think there still is this
Speaker 1: idea that you might want to downplay that and you're
Speaker 1: interested in being with one of those men for one thing.
Speaker 1: You know, I think there still is like a little
Speaker 1: bit of that crazy like you know, noil like put
Speaker 1: yourself down to build them kind of mentality. I see it,
Speaker 1: it is said to me, But I still still do
Speaker 1: see it. Well, speaking to that pressure that you've witnessed
Speaker 1: among especially girls of this generation, and also to the
Speaker 1: fact that we might communicate to each other a little
Speaker 1: bit differently than we might when men and men are
Speaker 1: in the room. How do you see XO Jane sort
Speaker 1: of fitting into that, especially because the tagline has to
Speaker 1: do with, you know, where women go to be selfish
Speaker 1: and where selfishness is applauded. Yeah, I love this idea
Speaker 1: with Exogen of doing, of creating the space where women
Speaker 1: can talk to each other as though there are no
Speaker 1: men in the room, and also not just no men
Speaker 1: that no kids, no teachers, no parents, no bosses, no
Speaker 1: anybody that you would try to put on a certain
Speaker 1: front four And it's where you go and your your
Speaker 1: unabashed itself. You're just like, this is really what's on
Speaker 1: my mind, this is what I really want, and then
Speaker 1: we do get We have gotten a good portion of well,
Speaker 1: I think it's about fift mail readers now who will say,
Speaker 1: you know that when they go to x okay, they
Speaker 1: see what women really talk about when they're not in
Speaker 1: the room. So it's not it's not like topic or
Speaker 1: something where it's kind of like a major men version
Speaker 1: of well women talk about. How did those men tend
Speaker 1: to respond to hearing what women really talk about? Are
Speaker 1: they usually a little surprised and shocked? Yeah, they get
Speaker 1: they get kind of taken aback and they say it's
Speaker 1: it's really educational, sometimes kind of shocking. Um, and then
Speaker 1: they'll but then they get really addicted to it, and
Speaker 1: then they'll just keep coming back and back and back.
Speaker 1: If there's still make an excuse like they'll say that, oh,
Speaker 1: it was open on my girlfriend's laptop or whatever, you know.
Speaker 1: But then they'll then they have to guss up when
Speaker 1: they're in the comments every day and when they're quoting
Speaker 1: things from the rand you know, at the very end
Speaker 1: of an article the day before, and you're like, you
Speaker 1: read the entire thing. You didn't need to do that now.
Speaker 1: Extra Jane has published so many fascinating, hilarious, some even
Speaker 1: heartbreaking first person essays, and I was wondering if there
Speaker 1: were any that come to mind that have really made
Speaker 1: a strong impression on you. Yeah, wow, definitely. I Mean
Speaker 1: one of the formats that we have um for publishing
Speaker 1: those first person essays is it happened to Me, which
Speaker 1: is something that I actually started back in Sassy magazine,
Speaker 1: and um, it's a place where people can tell tell
Speaker 1: their stories about something. I always say everybody has at
Speaker 1: least one really strong it happened to me in them.
Speaker 1: Usually it's a story that they wouldn't just tell a
Speaker 1: cocktail party or whatever. It's a deep you know, something
Speaker 1: that's affected them deeply. And the funny thing is, like
Speaker 1: the first one of those we ever did and sassy, Um,
Speaker 1: it wasn't at that time, so there wasn't that much
Speaker 1: first person writing and reporting at that time as there
Speaker 1: is now with blogs and everything. So um, for the
Speaker 1: first of one, I actually had to get my sister
Speaker 1: to write it under a pseudonym, to write about an
Speaker 1: abortion that she had had because I couldn't find people
Speaker 1: who were just willing to put their stories out there
Speaker 1: in that way. So and now cut to you know,
Speaker 1: cut to today and we get, oh gosh, hundreds of
Speaker 1: submissions to it. Happened to me at x O Jane
Speaker 1: every week, like hundreds of people wanting to tell their
Speaker 1: personal stories. And I feel like we've made it a
Speaker 1: safe place for them to do that, a non judgmental
Speaker 1: zone where they feel like they can do that. Thinking
Speaker 1: some of the ones that had really stood out to me. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a big range, Like I think that we've gotten
Speaker 1: we've gotten a fair amount of attention on exogene for
Speaker 1: the once, uh, where we've gotten somebody who a woman
Speaker 1: who was in the middle of a media maelstrom to
Speaker 1: tell her version of the story, like Daisy Coleman, for example,
Speaker 1: who was the rape victim who had not ever she
Speaker 1: hadn't told her own story, and then she came to
Speaker 1: that on XOJ and that was wonderful. Also a woman
Speaker 1: um who outed the well it's another race theme, but
Speaker 1: a woman who out of the Steven Bill Ravius um
Speaker 1: she is also she also wrote for us and that
Speaker 1: was really powerful. Kind of a lot like that wasn't
Speaker 1: we got a lot of attention for it. Was Bell
Speaker 1: Mox who uh to porn stars, put yourself into university?
Speaker 1: What's definitely I never even said this, but I grew
Speaker 1: up all that dig university. He had us. Both my
Speaker 1: parents taught there too, so I kept imagining every time.
Speaker 1: I was Yeah, when I met her in every took
Speaker 1: of reading me, so I was like, oh wow, interesting.
Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, so that's but that's another version of
Speaker 1: a wove been telling her real true story and huge reactions. Well,
Speaker 1: I feel like the so called confessional writing sort of
Speaker 1: in the style of it happened to me. Often it's
Speaker 1: criticized it as being like too self absorbed, but clearly
Speaker 1: there is a purpose for it, Like you know, there's
Speaker 1: a there's not just the therapy on the on behalf
Speaker 1: of the writer, like being able to get these feelings out,
Speaker 1: but also for the reader. So I was wondering from
Speaker 1: you too, like what do you feel is is the
Speaker 1: big value of that kind of confessional first person writing? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So I think the value in in that is removing shame.
Speaker 1: I think that if I come out or any anybody
Speaker 1: comes out and says, Okay, this is what I really did,
Speaker 1: that I that a lot of people would shame me
Speaker 1: for doing, and um, then other people can read that
Speaker 1: and go wow. I I also I do the same thing,
Speaker 1: and I was keeping it to myself because I felt
Speaker 1: so ashamed of it. And let's just get it out
Speaker 1: in the open, because there's that, you know, that a
Speaker 1: expression like you're only a stick because your secrets or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like, if you can get it out and share
Speaker 1: it with other people, then then then you feel you
Speaker 1: feel better about yourself and you can move forward from it. Um,
Speaker 1: this is a much broader question, but how has feminism
Speaker 1: informed your career and exarching? Yeah? I well, I grew
Speaker 1: up with a mom that read the very first issues
Speaker 1: of Miss magazine, and I remember when you get it
Speaker 1: and there was a section in it on different paper
Speaker 1: stuff that was three stories for free children or something,
Speaker 1: and I would get those and I would like look
Speaker 1: at them. And so I was very much And also
Speaker 1: we would go into March on Washington pretty regularly wearing
Speaker 1: all white with my mom and her friends, that I'd
Speaker 1: be there, I'd be the kid, you know, walking along
Speaker 1: with them. So I very much grew up being proud
Speaker 1: of being a feminist and UM, and that had that
Speaker 1: informs every single thing that I do. UM. It's surprising
Speaker 1: to me in many ways that still UM now, so
Speaker 1: many years later, you still have it seems like with
Speaker 1: each new generation you have to kind of show them
Speaker 1: again that feminism is not a bad word, that it's
Speaker 1: not something to be um, that that all those connotations
Speaker 1: that people put on it and being you know, being
Speaker 1: mill person are angry or hating men, are all that stuff,
Speaker 1: that that's not at all what it means. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's uh, it's it's being I think of it
Speaker 1: as being like a girl's girl, which is my favorite
Speaker 1: type of person. You know, just somebody who is who
Speaker 1: really likes to bring other women up and support them
Speaker 1: and make them feel better about themselves and make them
Speaker 1: feel more beautiful and funnier and all that stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just think that that's like, I don't know the
Speaker 1: way to live for me. What do you think it
Speaker 1: might take for more girls to more commonly embrace the
Speaker 1: term feminism or the like self label as feminist because
Speaker 1: there's they're being told so often messages of just general empowerment,
Speaker 1: but there doesn't seem to be It seems like we
Speaker 1: still need to bridge that gap. I totally agree, And
Speaker 1: sometimes I think, well, how Sometimes I think how important
Speaker 1: is it if they are living by the deals with
Speaker 1: feminism and they benefited from what early feminists did and
Speaker 1: they continue to help other women to get ahead and
Speaker 1: all that stuff, then maybe whether they call themselves feminists
Speaker 1: or not may not be the most important. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I have one of my my top
Speaker 1: editors on exo Jane, Emily mccomes it's just truly awesome,
Speaker 1: does not identify herself as a feminist in the same
Speaker 1: way that I do, and she doesn't feel like, um
Speaker 1: exo Jane is a She wouldn't label it a feminist
Speaker 1: site even though I would, But you know what, we
Speaker 1: want the same things. We both wanted to be a
Speaker 1: very empowering, supportive place for all women to visit. So
Speaker 1: it's sometimes I wonder if the name is you know
Speaker 1: the labels M Well, Jane, since this podcast is called
Speaker 1: Stuff Mom Never Told You, and you have a daughter,
Speaker 1: I want to know what kind of things you are
Speaker 1: telling her, what kind of advice you're passing along about
Speaker 1: growing up being a woman, et cetera. Yeah, I um, okay,
Speaker 1: I Well, first of all, I gotta say that I'm
Speaker 1: at the space right now where I am thoroughly embarrassing
Speaker 1: to my daughter. She doesn't think I'm cool at all.
Speaker 1: Twice this week she did not let me walk into
Speaker 1: the school with her, once because of the shirt I
Speaker 1: was wearing, another time because of the dudes. Yes, so, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with that where I'm worry sometimes that if
Speaker 1: I say too much that she's gonna take it and
Speaker 1: go the other way with it. But but what do
Speaker 1: I tell her? I mostly I do. I do a
Speaker 1: lot of listening, and I'm I'm in heaven whenever she's
Speaker 1: whenever she's opening up to me. The things I tell her,
Speaker 1: I tell her that. Okay, here's one thing. When I
Speaker 1: was doing Sassy magazine, so I was, I was in
Speaker 1: my early mid twenties, and we had all these moms
Speaker 1: would write many letters and say, if you had a daughter,
Speaker 1: you will not be publishing this kind of information for
Speaker 1: young women. You would not be getting them birth control information,
Speaker 1: you would not be talking to them about as TVs.
Speaker 1: You would not be um giving them all this kind
Speaker 1: of uh very telling them so much at such a
Speaker 1: young age. So I'm always wondered. I always thought, when
Speaker 1: my daughter grows up and is in that basic age range,
Speaker 1: and am I going to feel more conservative about what
Speaker 1: kind of information I want to share with her? Um? No,
Speaker 1: not at all. Like I would be so happy if
Speaker 1: they were assassy around today that she could read. So
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm her sassy, So I give her
Speaker 1: all that information, all that you know, any questions about sex,
Speaker 1: anything like that. I'm right there. That's fantastic. Well, and
Speaker 1: especially for kids today, if you don't tell them they
Speaker 1: have the internet exactly exactly, that's exactly right. And yeah,
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. It used to be like the fear
Speaker 1: was you know, you hear it from your friends in
Speaker 1: the schoolyard. But now it's like just get on there
Speaker 1: and you know, see tons and tons and tons of
Speaker 1: really really bad information. And you can't guarantee that she
Speaker 1: will go to xo j dot com, you know, to
Speaker 1: get a better perspective on things. And some people are
Speaker 1: actually horrified that I that I would let her read
Speaker 1: exogen dot com. But the truth is she doesn't. I
Speaker 1: don't really have a whole lot of say over what
Speaker 1: she reads or doesn't read, because she's so much more
Speaker 1: text savy than I am. That she's actually like hacked
Speaker 1: into my commenting profile on XO Jane and said, like
Speaker 1: to the readers, you know, tell my mom that it's
Speaker 1: time for her to get the puppy already or whatever
Speaker 1: it is. She's done that a few times. He's smart. Well,
Speaker 1: this is just a side note question, but I'm just
Speaker 1: curious if you ever get tired of people asking you
Speaker 1: in every single interview when you're gonna revive Sassy or
Speaker 1: if that will happen. No, because I still want to
Speaker 1: do it. I still think it would be amazing. And
Speaker 1: you know, now, as my daughter Charlwood is, she's eleven now,
Speaker 1: and I really feel like I want something like that
Speaker 1: for her, And there are other things that do a
Speaker 1: lot of what Sassy did, but but not not exactly
Speaker 1: the same, not with the same spirit. Yeah, so now
Speaker 1: I'd be thrilled to do that. I still also want
Speaker 1: to start one, by the way, for older women too.
Speaker 1: I still think that there should be a print magazine
Speaker 1: for the next age group up, like for for women
Speaker 1: that I mean there is, there's more magazine, but I
Speaker 1: think that there should be something that's really progressive UM
Speaker 1: for women, like yeah for needless. Well, speaking of which,
Speaker 1: those are all the questions that I sent to Laura
Speaker 1: for you. But are there any things that I haven't
Speaker 1: asked you about specifically future play ends, things we can
Speaker 1: look forward to from EXO Jane and Jane Pratt Um.
Speaker 1: You know, we do those things to UM to try
Speaker 1: to also in the spirit of empowering other women and
Speaker 1: making them feel good about so it was just the
Speaker 1: way that they are. We've done those things like um uh,
Speaker 1: like taking a picture of our face when we first
Speaker 1: woke up in the morning and putting it on, putting
Speaker 1: on the site, have another woman do that or whatever.
Speaker 1: So we're actually because it's like because we started this
Speaker 1: thing where we said, um, we want to get that
Speaker 1: labeled Vicky body. We wanted to take that and go,
Speaker 1: what is it the key body? Anyway, it's the body
Speaker 1: that you put into a bikint That's it. So we're
Speaker 1: all going to get together and um, take a picture
Speaker 1: of all of us in our bikinis on the site
Speaker 1: and challenge other women to do the same thing. I
Speaker 1: think that's great. I can't promise that my co host
Speaker 1: Caroline would do it with me, but I would do that.
Speaker 1: I think that women need to see more just bodies exactly. Well,
Speaker 1: thanks so so much to Jane Pratt and the x
Speaker 1: Ray Jane Staffords who helped set up this interview. She
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun to talk to and I
Speaker 1: hope a lot of fun to listen to as well. So, Caroline,
Speaker 1: if today you had to write and it happened to
Speaker 1: me exo Jane essay, what would it be? Well, right
Speaker 1: off the top of my head, I'm like, I have
Speaker 1: so many humiliating things that have happened to me and
Speaker 1: that I have caused to happen to me in my life.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I could write one that it
Speaker 1: happened to me. I was jealous of my dog? What
Speaker 1: kind of dog? And why were you jealous? It was
Speaker 1: a stray that my parents adopted when I was like five,
Speaker 1: and I was an only child, keep in mind, and
Speaker 1: I was always the apple of my parents eye. And
Speaker 1: suddenly there was this cute little black dog in the house,
Speaker 1: and well, I loved it because I loved animals. I
Speaker 1: was also insanely jealous, and so I would like push
Speaker 1: it out of its bed to sleep in the dog bed,
Speaker 1: and I would push it off the sofa and stuff,
Speaker 1: and my parents finally had to give it to their contractor. Caroline,
Speaker 1: I can sense some lingering to stay in your voice
Speaker 1: because you haven't. You haven't even referred to the dog
Speaker 1: by its name. What was its name? Beasley? Beasley Beasley.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's a good one. It's a really good one.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure I could think of some other crazy,
Speaker 1: crazy Caroline child things. Yes, so so many I think
Speaker 1: along those similar lines. The first thing that pops into
Speaker 1: my head is, uh, it happened to me I was
Speaker 1: a childhood sleepwalker. Oh yeah, that was a weird phase.
Speaker 1: She's just bits and pieces of memories. So anyway, thanks
Speaker 1: again so much to Jane Pratt for taking the time
Speaker 1: to talk with us, and I hope that there is
Speaker 1: some form of Sassy that launches. And hey, Jane, if
Speaker 1: you're listening, I'm just gonna to put this out there.
Speaker 1: If you're looking for some cracker Jack women, writers, reporters, editors, whatever,
Speaker 1: we know some people us. Yeah, yes, yeah, it's us.
Speaker 1: So with that. If there are any EXO Jane Sassy,
Speaker 1: Jane Pratt, etcetera. Fans out there who want to write in,
Speaker 1: let us know. Mom Stuff at how stuff works dot
Speaker 1: com is our email address. You can also tweet us
Speaker 1: at mom Stuff podcast or send us a message on Facebook,
Speaker 1: and we have a couple of messages to share with
Speaker 1: you right now. Well, I have a Facebook message from
Speaker 1: a little while back from Carrie who writes, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you in all caps for addressing the
Speaker 1: issue of body shaming, particularly thin shaming. I completely agree
Speaker 1: with you, and he said that this isn't an issue
Speaker 1: that has been a topic of conversation until recently, but
Speaker 1: it's something I've struggled with my entire life. I'm twenty
Speaker 1: six years old, five one and pounds. Growing up, my
Speaker 1: mom always encouraged me to feel good about my petite
Speaker 1: figure and embrace it, even when all the girls around
Speaker 1: me were getting the curves I wanted. I've dealt with
Speaker 1: the long standing internal struggle of feeling good about my body,
Speaker 1: but also torn between being envious of curve your women
Speaker 1: and guilty when my friends complain about their weight and
Speaker 1: make me feel bad for being naturally skinny. They can
Speaker 1: complain about being bigger, but God forbid I say anything
Speaker 1: negative about being small. This all came to a head
Speaker 1: for me about four years ago when I went to
Speaker 1: see my doctor for a physical exam. She came straight
Speaker 1: out and asked me if I was interrexic. When I
Speaker 1: told her that I wasn't and that I eat well,
Speaker 1: but I've always been small, she pressed the issue by
Speaker 1: asking me if I have a problem with food and
Speaker 1: suggested that I quote try eating. I haven't been back
Speaker 1: to a doctor since real women have curves. How about
Speaker 1: real women are just women? Well, thanks, Carrie. Well. I
Speaker 1: have a message here from Merrily responding to a video
Speaker 1: that Kristen did about saying no to sex, and she
Speaker 1: says thank you for posting this. It took me a
Speaker 1: long time to realize that I could say no. I
Speaker 1: grew up in a house where it was easier to
Speaker 1: ignore topics like sex than to actually talk about it.
Speaker 1: That attitude, mixed with having been molested, truly warped my
Speaker 1: views on sex. It was just something that men wanted
Speaker 1: for me and enjoyed, but none too often I felt obligated.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until I was in college the idea was
Speaker 1: even mentioned to me. I was closing up the cal
Speaker 1: Zone shop I worked for with a girlfriend, saying that
Speaker 1: I could just walk to my dorm. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to call my then boyfriend because I knew he would
Speaker 1: just want to have sex and it would be unfair
Speaker 1: to say no. My friend lost it, saying that I
Speaker 1: could always say no if I didn't want to. Such
Speaker 1: a simple concept I had never actually even faced before Today,
Speaker 1: I have a much healthier grasp on my life, both
Speaker 1: sexually and mentally, not just because of my friend's rant,
Speaker 1: but also from meeting my now significant other slash father
Speaker 1: of my child. He truly showed me what it means
Speaker 1: to respect myself and be the confident, mature and happy
Speaker 1: woman I am today. So I'm glad you're doing well, Merrily,
Speaker 1: and thanks for writing in, and thanks to everybody who's
