Why women should never invest in a boyfriend 43:23

4 päivää sitten43:23

In this episode, we talk about why women should never invest in a boyfriend, or a man they’re dating. What do we mean by investing in a man? We mean investing your time, energy and money into a man you are dating (and not yet married or engaged to), by doing things such as helping him build his career, helping him buy his house, supporting him financially, moving somewhere to suit his convenience, living together with him while splitting rent 50/50 and doing most of the housework, and everything in between. A lot of the time, women do these things for a man they're dating hoping it'll make him want to commit to them and give them marriage in return. But that's not how it works, and in this episode we unpack why not! We're definitely not advocating for women to be financially dependent on men, nor should they be gold diggers, but there's no need to act like a wife when you're still a girlfriend, and it's not a good idea for women to invest their time and their energy into a man in exchange for the possibility of potential commitment. We talk about the historical and cultural context for why this happens: our generation of women is the first generation ever in history who don't need to be financially dependent on men, but for centuries us women have been expected to find our own value and purpose in our male partner's success and achievement, and our societal norms and subconscious beliefs haven't kept up with these changes. And these societal norms will only change if we women change the way we behave, which we collectively have the power to do! We discuss: all the ways that women should never invest in a man and why, how you CAN get a man to give you the commitment that you want, the risks of cohabiting with a man and why you shouldn't let a man "test out" living together with you before deciding whether he wants to marry you, when is the right time to move in together with a boyfriend, how to tell if you're investing too much, how to tell whether you're choosing to do something for your partner because you genuinely want to or are unhealthily sacrificing yourself and losing yourself in the relationship, how can you tell if a man you're dating is really serious about a long-term future together with you or not, and why the woman should never be the one who's progressing the relationship forward in any way. We also share advice for how women who are in this situation can get out of it, and HOW you can get a man to give you the commitment that you want!

Film Club 02: Netflix Original TV Series "Black Doves" 35:22

20 päivää sitten35:22

For our second film club episode, we discussed Black Doves, a Netflix Original TV series. It's set in London and centres on a strong female protagonist Helen Webb (played by Kiera Knightley) who leads a double life as an undercover spy. This six-episode series is an interesting mix of action-packed spy movie, thriller and murder mystery, with a good dose of self-deprecating British humour, and powerful female characters. We discussed the elements of the show that we found progressive and gender-subversive: - the way the female characters are depicted is not misogynistic, nor are they objectified - the completely platonic friendship between Helen and Sam: it's rare to see a male-female relationship that doesn't centre on the woman being the romantic love interest - the show focuses on mature women rather than young and sexualised female characters - the fact that Helen is a woman doesn't dictate how the plot unfolds - all of the main players in the world of the TV show are women - violent physical fights between women - the conflict and rivalry between female characters doesn't involve them fighting over a man - most of the deep emotions and tenderness actually comes from the male characters and their stories. We also discussed how British the show is: the setting, the characters, certain specific cultural contexts, and the self-deprecating humour! We also touched on some things that we found a little problematic with the TV series: some logical gaps in the plot, the lack of diversity and equality in the casting of characters, and the real life story that the series' narrative was based on.

Shannon Read: What tattooing women has taught me about women 49:34

In this episode, we interviewed Shannon Read, a female tattooist who specialises in tattooing women. Shannon shared her experiences working in a male-dominated tattoo industry, which lead her to create her own female-friendly tattoo studio, and told us about everything she’s learnt from her 10+ years of experience tattooing female clients. We discussed: women tend to underestimate themselves and their strength, women are conditioned to suppress their pain, lack of diversity in shapes and sizes of female bodies modelling tattoo designs, women feel sorry too much, women are overly self-critical, unrealistic beauty standards that put pressure on women, and the differences between tattooing men vs. women. She also shares everything she’s learnt from her experiences tattooing female clients who are mothers - they’re often women who never get any time to do anything for themselves, and feel guilty whenever they do! And as a busy working mother herself, she shares her own advice on some things women can do to make sure they’re also looking after themselves, rather than always prioritising looking after everyone around them! Shannon also leaves us with an important message about how getting a tattoo can be something really empowering for a woman to do for herself, as a way to reclaim her own autonomy and power.

Why wedding culture is toxic and misogynistic 42:35

In this episode, we talk about why wedding culture is toxic and misogynistic. We’re not against weddings or marriage, but the way that most wedding ceremonies are performed feels outdated and misogynistic, and we rarely think to question this. We discussed: the father giving away the bride, pressure on the bride to meet certain beauty standards and look perfect for her wedding day, the extreme dieting that a lot of women do in preparation for their wedding, why should the bride wear a white dress?, how the bride often takes on the burden of doing the majority of the wedding planning, Bridezillas, the fact that a wedding day is still meant to be the most important day in a woman’s life even though we’ve moved on from a society where women are completely financially dependent on their husbands, and the misogynistic aspects of some religious wedding ceremonies. We also talk about cultural differences between weddings in different countries and share personal stories from weddings we’ve been to. We then discuss the phenomenon of how some Japanese women nowadays are marrying themselves, and the “non-marriage” ceremonies that women are performing in Korea. Finally, we discuss: what can we do about it? We share our thoughts on how we can all contribute to changing wedding culture and making it more inclusive, more diverse, less toxic, less misogynistic, and more equal and fair. We also share what our own respective dream weddings would be like! If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to follow us and leave a review.

Reclaim your power: why women need to learn to say no 51:51

In this episode, we discuss why women need to learn how to say no! Despite cultural differences between different countries, it’s still especially difficult for women to say no - in any culture! We explore how women are socially conditioned to be people pleasers and put others’ needs above our own, and discuss personal experiences of situations where we’ve both personally struggled to say no. We also discuss women not being able to say no in the workplace and the impact that it has on their careers, and how it’s interpreted differently when men say no vs. when women say no. We talk about the dangers of not being able to say no, or saying yes to the wrong things. Learning how to saying no is important for every area of our lives, because saying no to things that don’t serve you creates more time and energy for you to say yes to the right things that really matter. We also share our advice for how to say no, including some case studies and examples of what we would say in different situations like social events and parties, along with some valuable tips and tricks for how you can become someone who easily says no!

Book Club 02: Against White Feminism by Rafia Zakaria 36:34

In this episode, we discuss the powerful themes explored in the book Against White Feminism by Rafia Zakaria. We reflect on what it means to confront white feminism, by discussing its definition and the cultural forces that shape how it's experienced and understood around the world. We talk about cultural differences between feminism in different countries, and discuss how contemporary Asian feminism is in many ways more progressive and radical than Western feminism. We also talk about the shocking historical and cultural context behind why so much of contemporary Western feminism is about sexual empowerment. And we explore the difficult but necessary conversations around privilege and the white saviour complex that often emerges when white women position themselves as rescuers while overlooking both their own struggles, and the needs of non-white women. We also reflect on how Western media depicts white women and non-white women’s experiences differently, and discuss if it's necessary to engage some of the foundational yet controversial feminist texts that have shaped mainstream white feminism. We also discuss Western feminism’s overemphasis on individuality and why we don’t agree with encouraging women to get ahead for ourselves at the expense of others, rather than promoting solidarity and sisterhood, which is the only way we can really make important feminist advances. Through this episode, we're inviting you all to think about how we can work together to build an inclusive feminism that leaves no one behind x If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to follow us and leave a review.

Haein Shim: Why some women are boycotting men 54:27

8 weeks sitten54:27

54:27

Giving up men is becoming a trend! And it all started with the 4B movement. In Korean, 4B stands for four “no’s”: no dating men, no sex with men, no marrying men, and no having children with men. It’s a bold feminist movement created by Korean feminists to break away from the toxic patriarchal system and build a community that truly centers on women and their needs. In this episode, we spoke with Haein Shim—a passionate women’s rights activist, documentary producer, and freelance journalist—to unpack what the 4B movement is all about and why it’s resonating so deeply with young women in Korea and beyond. Haein also shares her personal journey from being an anti-feminist to fully embracing feminist ideals, and talks about how the 4B movement connects with other feminist movements like the Escape the Corset movement. Throughout the conversation, we discuss why the 4B movement has been controversial in Korea, and explore the real challenges that feminists face in a society that often misunderstands and misrepresents their motives. We discuss the power dynamics at play and highlight why reclaiming women’s agency and autonomy is more important now than ever. Haein also shares how the 4B movement is very inclusive compared to other feminist movements, especially for women from lower socio-economic or low income backgrounds, or who don’t have access to a college education. Haein opens up about her own experiences with societal pressure and why she believes prioritising women’s lives and choices is essential for change. We also challenge the Western perspective on feminism, emphasising the need for a more inclusive understanding that respects diverse experiences.

We discuss its gripping narrative, the symbolism throughout the film, and the way it explores themes like the objectification of women, fetishisation of youth, the internal struggles and self-criticism that we face as women, fear of ageing, depictions of female madness, and our society’s collective destruction of women through the pressure to fit impossible beauty standards.
