• Passport Bros Exposed: Western Men Exploiting Women Abroad

  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?

• The Motherhood Trap: Are Women Sold A Lie?

  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.
