On this week’s Culturefest, our critics are joined by Slate senior editor Dan Kois to discuss his article on the 40th anniversary of Free To Be … You and Me and whether its advocation of gender equality remains relevant and its feminist ideals convincing to children today. The Gabfesters then consider the institution that is the Saturday Night Live debate send-up and how its origins as Dada event comedy translate to a television landscape saturated with political satire. Finally, they discuss the website HeTexted.com and crowdsourcing the deciphering of romantic ambiguity.
