• Are “Girls’ Girls” Extinct?

  In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack the cultural shift around the term “girl’s girl”. Once a symbol of loyalty and sisterhood, now sometimes used as an insult. They explore what happened to “girl code,” how patriarchy and social media pit women against each other, and what real female solidarity looks like in 2025. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the viral TikTok “EBT Lady” on SNAP benefits expiring, the backlash to Megan Thee Stallion’s new single “Lover Girl,” and Jameela Jamil’s viral claim that studios are “dumbing down” TV shows for distracted scrollers. Later, they play a Patreon-voted round of “Therapy or the Void?” featuring the characters of Friends.   🎧 This episode asks the question: Have women stopped having each other’s backs or are we just redefining what it means to be a girl’s girl?   🎙️ Topics Discussed: How “girl’s girl” went from compliment to insult The online policing of women and performative feminism Megan Thee Stallion as a modern “girl’s girl” icon How patriarchy thrives by dividing women The importance of solidarity over competition Why confidence and self-love are the ultimate rebellion   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: SNAP Runs Out of Money Nov. 1 — Here’s What That Means https://www.npr.org/2025/10/28/g-s1-95189/snap-food-stamps-government-shutdown-november Megan Thee Stallion Calls Out Her Haters as “Bots” https://www.rap-up.com/article/megan-thee-stallion-paid-online-hate-campaign Jameela Jamil on TV Shows Being “Dumbed Down” https://youtube.com/shorts/Lh09JO0MoME?si=dc4MHqsZKeYxTjhZ   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: Watch Weapons https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26581740/ Check out Therese Lee’s channel! https://www.youtube.com/@theresehlee Lisa’s Blog: “What Happened To The Girls Girl?” https://www.patreon.com/posts/reading-tea-blog-142530837   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?

  In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign sink their teeth into the world of emotional vampires — the people who drain your peace, your joy, and your energy. They explore how to recognize these emotional leeches, the red flags of covert narcissism and drama addiction, and how to protect your energy with healthy boundaries and self-awareness. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the new “full bush” underwear from Skims, Mackenzie Scott’s major donation to Black cultural preservation, the viral $5.5K “alpha male” bootcamp that’s more parody than power, and Mike Vrabel’s viral feminist gesture during NFL press conferences.

• The 'Cool Girl' Myth: Escaping Male Validation

  In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack the “Cool Girl” archetype; the effortless, chill, low-maintenance woman who always puts men’s comfort first. They explore how this myth was built to serve patriarchy, how it pressures women to suppress their emotions and identity, and why rejecting it is a radical act of self-love. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss Ayesha Curry’s viral comments about not wanting marriage or kids, the Texas State Fair backlash over price gouging, and a man who went viral for buying a life-size Henry Cavill doll. Later, in Tea or Trash, they debate the ethics of cosmetic surgery and authenticity in the age of performative empowerment.   🎧 This episode dives into the Cool Girl archetype — how patriarchy rewards female self-erasure, how women perform to earn male approval, and why true empowerment begins with authenticity.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The origins and cultural impact of the Cool Girl archetype How patriarchy teaches women to perform for the male gaze Ayesha Curry and public discourse on marriage, motherhood, and autonomy Authenticity vs. the “low-maintenance” performance Why women’s self-worth must exist beyond male validation The intersection of feminism, beauty culture, and self-acceptance   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Ayesha Curry Says She Didn’t Want To Get Married Or Have Kids https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/stephen-curry-supports-ayesha-amid-145811878.html Viral Social Media Posts Spark Debate Over State Fair of Texas Attendance and Costs https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/state-fair/viral-posts-spark-debate-over-state-fair-of-texas-attendance-costs/287-4994d76c-ddb1-45af-9f93-61ebab6ec5e0 Man Buys Anatomically Correct Henry Cavill Doll https://www.queerty.com/man-buys-a-life-size-silicone-anatomically-correct-henry-cavill-doll-immediately-goes-viral-20251008/   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: When Did You Realize That Being the “Cool Girlfriend” Was a Load of Sh*t? https://www.reddit.com/r/AskWomen/comments/127umam/when_did_you_realize_that_being_the_cool/?share_id=y5PhlxBUsXiMss2yaLSNy&utm_content=2&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?

• The Performance Of Masculinity (feat. The Public Offender)

  In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign welcome back special guest The Public Offender to unpack what it really means to perform masculinity, and how this performance shapes men’s behavior, women’s safety, and the structure of society itself. Together, they explore how cultural scripts of “manhood” are reinforced by patriarchy, peer pressure, and media, and how redefining masculinity could free everyone from toxic expectations. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts cover Trump’s attempt at a military takeover of Portland, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce, Janae’s viral diss track aimed at Nicki Minaj, a listener comment asking whether decentering men actually centers them, and a Tea VIP voicemail seeking advice about her son’s father. Later, in the Mailbag segment, they tackle a listener question about handling a brother-in-law’s inappropriate text messages.   🎧 This episode pulls back the curtain on the performance of masculinity — how men perform toughness for other men, the social cost of emotional repression, and how redefining manhood benefits everyone.   🎙️ Topics Discussed: The cultural performance of masculinity and its social consequences Male identity, emotional repression, and societal expectations Patriarchy’s influence on relationships and gender dynamics How peer groups reinforce toxic masculine norms Feminism, empathy, and the path to redefining manhood Navigating harassment, boundaries, and accountability   ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Trump Slams Federal Judge, Whom He Appointed, for Blocking National Guard Deployment in Portland https://tinyurl.com/mvw3p7vh Keith Urban’s ‘Cocaine Clause’ Set to Land Him Millions as Nicole Kidman Files for Divorce https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/keith-urban-cocaine-clause-prenup-nicole-kidman-divorce-b1250581.html Janae Releases Nicki Minaj Diss Track https://www.tiktok.com/@janae.alea/video/7557571706492161310   📚 This Week’s Recommendation: The Performance of Masculinity: Beyond Postures and Gestures https://davidnjohnson.com/men/the-performance-of-masculinity-beyond-postures-and-gestures/ Follow The Public Offender https://linktr.ee/publicoffender   💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?
