In this brief monologue, Dr. Betty Murray expresses alarm that rights historically guaranteed to women, such as the right to vote, are being questioned in contemporary U.S. political discourse. She notes that some lawmakers are openly debating the repeal of the 19th Amendment, which enshrines women's suffrage, and she is shocked that some women support such efforts. Murray asserts that she is equal to men and therefore entitled to equal rights, delivering a firm stance that any listener—particularly men—who disagrees should leave her podcast. The segment reveals her belief that she had incorrectly assumed these rights were permanently settled.

there are some things that I thought we would always have access to as women that are in question, right? We have the right to vote. We have some of our government in the United States are actively discussing whether they should repeal the 19th Amendment, which allowed women to vote. And we have women that are backing that up, which is mind-boggling to me. Mind-boggling to me. I am equal to a man and therefore should have equal rights to a man, period, full stop. And if you don't like that and you're a man listening, get off my podcast. But the reality is that I assume assumed incorrectly that those things were settled long before I got here.
