In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen expose the dark underbelly of the “Passport Bros” movement, where Western men travel abroad seeking relationships with women in countries that often have less gender equality and opportunity. From exploitation disguised as romance to the illusions of “traditional” femininity, the hosts unpack how patriarchy and colonial fantasies intersect in this disturbing trend. But first, in Tea Time, they celebrate Gwen turning 30, react to a Seaworld mime trolling husbands who won’t carry their wives’ bags, and debate a viral claim that women fought to go 50-50 in relationships. In Feminist Herstory, they spotlight Giulia Tofana, one of history’s most infamous poisoners, and what her story reveals about women’s fight for autonomy in oppressive systems.   🎧 This episode calls out how men flee accountability at home only to recreate cycles of exploitation abroad — and why feminism’s fight against gender inequality is global.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: Why “Passport Bros” exploit global power imbalances The link between sex tourism and gender inequality How men project insecurities and seek control in relationships Why financial independence is crucial for women everywhere Feminist Herstory: Giulia Tofana and resistance against patriarchy   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Mime At Seaworld Keeps Shaming Husbands To Carry Their Baby’s and Backpacks Instead Of Their Wives https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNX9pHpgiGD/ Deadly trend of ‘Passport Bros’ lured by honeytraps and murdered for cash https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30671055/deadly-passport-bros-traps-murdered-cash-drug-kill-men/ Đổi Mới https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Đổi_Mới ‘The White Lotus’ Is Reigniting The Conversation Around ‘Passport Bros’ https://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/a64387699/what-is-a-passport-bro/ Mail Order Brides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail-order_bride Cyntoia Brown Released After 15 Years In Prison For Murder https://www.npr.org/2019/08/07/749025458/cyntoia-brown-released-after-15-years-in-prison-for-murder Giulia Tofana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giulia_Tofana   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: Dr. Potter - Stand with a Surgeon Facing Retaliation https://www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with-a-surgeon-facing-retaliation The Passport Bros Subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/thepassportbros/   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss viral clips about women in male dominated fields, Offset blaming his failed marriage on Cardi B not cooking, and Kevin Hart’s ill fated race against an ex NFL player that landed him in a wheelchair.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen  ask the question, "Is motherhood a choice, or is it a trap we're all expected to fall into?" For generations, society has pushed a narrative about women’s ultimate purpose. But what if that narrative isn’t just outdated, but actively harmful? This episode unpacks the uncomfortable truth about the “choice” to be a mother. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss a new Chinese pregnancy robot expected to give birth by next year, how Medicaid cuts will impact the elderly, and Trump’s military takeover of Washington D.C. To close things out, they review the film Hidden Figures and dive into what was fact, what was fiction, and what Hollywood left out.   🎧 This episode explores how cultural expectations around motherhood shape women’s choices, identities, and freedoms.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The pressure women face from family, culture, and media to become mothers The myth of the “biological clock” and baby fever Child-free women navigating stigma and judgment The propaganda of parenthood and glamorization of motherhood Eldest daughter syndrome and the hidden burdens of parentification Workplace and systemic challenges faced by mothers   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Medicaid Cuts Will Devastate Nursing Home Residents https://medicareadvocacy.org/issue-brief-medicaid-cuts-will-devastate-nursing-home-residents/ Hospital Layoffs Escalate—Impact Spreads from Support Staff to Nurses https://nurse.org/news/hospital-nurse-layoffs-us-healthcare-trends/#:~:text=Hospitals%20and%20long%2Dterm%20care,changes%20in%20federal%20reimbursement%20rates.

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts dive into Halle Berry's ex-husband's latest comments about their divorce, a new male birth control pill, and the Kids Online Safety Act. In the closing Mailbag segment, they respond to a listener asking how to spot performative "feminist" men in the dating pool.   🎧 This episode takes a hard look at how the conservative right is becoming more mainstream at the expense of women’s liberation and what women can do to stay empowered.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The rise of conservatism and its impact on women's rights Performative feminism and uneven expectations in relationships Male birth control advancements and reproductive responsibility Cultural and religious influences on gender dynamics Financial independence and empowerment for women How to identify genuine versus performative feminist allies   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Fans Defend Halle Berry After Ex Reveals He Divorced Her Because She Didn't 'Cook or Clean’ https://tinyurl.com/s6zbmamx Side-effect-free male contraceptive pill achieves milestone in its human trial https://newatlas.com/society-health/male-contraceptive-pill/ US-funded contraceptives for poor nations to be burned in France, sources say https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-funded-contraceptives-poor-nations-be-burned-france-sources-say-2025-07-24/ Kids Online Safety Act https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1748/text#toc-iddab2bfcc-2bf2-4548-87dd-edd2cff4c0ec Gov.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen take on the conversation around men’s mental health and how outdated expectations of masculinity contribute to loneliness, isolation, and emotional underdevelopment. They unpack how this crisis impacts women too, from the extra emotional labor placed on them to the ways male disengagement shapes modern relationships. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts dive into the drop in U.S. birthrates, Ashanti calling out Nelly for sleeping through their baby’s cries, and a Patreon VIP voicemail exploring why women are so drawn to true crime.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen break down the most harmful dating advice women get from so-called “Pick-Me” mentors, and why being “chosen” should never be your goal. From Auntie wisdom at family gatherings to viral advice from online coaches, we unpack the hidden misogyny behind it all. But first, in Tea Time, we discuss Slim Thug’s fixation on Megan Thee Stallion, Uber’s mounting legal problems, the 4chan users hacking of the Tea App, and the five Canadian hockey players acquitted in a high-profile sexual assault case.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen unpack the real meaning of consent, how women are taught to compromise it, how coercion often masquerades as choice, and why detachment can be a radical act of protection. But first, in Tea Time, we discuss the Epstein client list and how the right wing dropped it like a hot potato, the viral “Coldplay Couple” controversy, and how public shaming culture disproportionately targets women. Then in our Mailbag, a listener writes in about confronting misogyny from their gay male friends, and we talk about how patriarchy shows up across all sexual orientations.   🎧 This episode is a deep dive into emotional self-defense, how consent is framed in culture and relationships, and why power is always the elephant in the room.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: Why consent isn’t just about yes or no — it’s about power How coercion is normalized in dating and media The Coldplay Couple and the pitfalls of online vigilante justice Surveillance culture and the myth of moral purity Misogyny in queer spaces and the politics of emotional labor   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Jeffrey Epstein is splitting MAGA.

n this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen are joined by special guest Fleeksie to break down the toxic dating advice being pushed on women by male dating coaches. But first, in Tea Time, we dive into the rumors of Jeff Bezos buying Vogue for his wife, the alarming rise of Gen Z falling for online scams, and why older women dating younger men are reporting more satisfaction. Then, in our main discussion, we explore the world of male dating coaches like Matthew Hussey, the false promises of “fixing yourself” to land a man, and why centering men in dating will always lead women back to patriarchy. Lastly, we wrap up with a discussion of the film Sinners, examining its themes of race, culture, and power in America’s modern South.   🎧 This episode is your reminder: never lower your standards, trust your instincts, and stop letting men sell you nonsense about how to find love.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The danger of bad dating advice from male coaches Why Matthew Hussey’s advice fails women Women should protect their standards and safety The performative nature of dating culture The cultural commentary of the film Sinners   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Jeff Bezos Reportedly Buying Vogue as Lauren Sanchez’s Wedding Gift https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/jeff-bezos-reportedly-buying-vogue-163357225.html Anna Wintour steps down as Vogue editor-in-chief https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/26/style/anna-wintour-steps-down-vogue-editor-in-chief You’ll own nothing and be happy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27ll_own_nothing_and_be_happy YouTube Clarifies Changes to Monetization Rules Around Inauthentic Content https://finance.yahoo.com/news/youtube-clarifies-changes-monetization-rules-194232823.html Why Gen Z Is Surprisingly Susceptible to Financial Scams https://time.com/6802011/gen-z-financial-scams-fraud/ Why Older Women Dating Younger Men Are More Satisfied https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-myths-of-sex/202303/older-women-who-date-younger-men-are-more-satisfied   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: How ‘Sinners’ Rewrites the Gothic South https://msmagazine.com/2025/05/08/sinners-feminist-film-review-black-women-history-power-south/?utm_source=chatgpt.com Cultural Consumption and Black Resistance in “Sinners” https://mayokmedia.com/bloodlines-and-blues-cultural-consumption-and-black-resistance-in-sinners-2025/?utm_source=chatgpt.com   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?

This week on The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen unpack what the Diddy verdict reveals about the patriarchy’s grip on power, justice, and public perception. But first, in Tea Time, we react to the viral Jubilee panel 20 Feminists vs Candace Owens and why her arguments continue to crumble under basic scrutiny. In our main discussion, we break down how the courts and culture protect powerful men, why economic independence is key to women’s safety, and the importance of listening to your gut in a system that was never designed to keep you safe. Plus, in our Mailbag segment, we review a listener submitted Spotify playlist with one simple rule: absolutely no misogyny.   🎧 This episode is your reminder: the justice system is working exactly as designed — and it’s not designed for us.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: What the Diddy verdict reveals about institutional misogyny Candace Owens and the rise of bad faith feminism Why women's self protection must be prioritized The power of economic independence How media and the courts normalize violence against women Finding joy and safety in a world not built for us   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Jubilee: 1 Conservative vs 20 Feminists (featuring Candace Owens) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyzbSeVBxvk Jubilee: Can 25 Liberal Students Outsmart 1 Conservative? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV29R1M25n8 Chinese Exclusion Act (context from episode) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Exclusion_Act CBS: Diddy gets standing ovation in prison after court victory https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/sean-diddy-combs-standing-ovation-prison-inmates/ NPR: DOJ says no Epstein client list exists https://www.npr.org/2025/07/07/g-s1-76367/doj-jeffrey-epstein-memo   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: Millennial Vibes (Minus the Misogyny) – Spotify Playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5dgxenS5cVQSJqaBtkls9u?si=1Im0mfwVRnmdd-Er4MaZdg&pi=lNeKVsQqS1-0n   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?
