"Unruly Women" & The Rise Of Conservatism (feat. Bimbo University)

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen are joined by special guest Nikita, also known as "Bimbo University" online. Nikita helps unpack the recent rise of conservatism and its attempts to subjugate women and roll back hard-won rights. 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.
