Send us Fan MailThis week I sort of ramble about my feelings about what has been happening to black women at the hands of men and how women have every right to ask for whatever when they are choosing to deal with men because the potential of harm is so great. Join me and tell me what you think.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThis week we discuss the mess around the Democratic Party and Eric Swalwell and how we need ethics rules that make being sexually undisciplined disqualifying for public office and how men are allowed to be cheaters but still considered trustworthy because people think lying to a woman is acceptable but you should have different ethics when it comes to men. We also wrap up this discussion talking about how Black people have co opted tactics from their oppressor via the religion foisted upon them by said oppressor to look the other way while they justify giving money to abusive people like Chris Brown and abuse apologists like Usher for their own entertainment.

Send us Fan MailGood day equality lovers. Today we are breaking down how fatherhood's role in the success of childhood outcomes is over simplified to imply that a household without fathers is bad because of the missing of the male aspect rather than the missing of the money, stability and resources that come with two parents contributing to the well being of the child. The intention of this propaganda is to guilt women to bear the brunt of the mistreatment of men for the sake of the better outcome of the children while men themselves do not demonstrate their own belief in their value in the household by being more hands off in child rearing and also not putting the same effort to maintain the relationship into it so that the kids can have the best outcomes. We also discuss how studies show that two parent households period regardless of the gender of the parents have similar outcomes so this dismisses the narrative that men want to draw from this that their presence specifically is required for success. I also discuss my impressions of Tina Knowles memoir Matriarch and the politics of who we choose to have children with while reflecting on how my own relationship with my dad impacted me becoming a feminist in the long run.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThis episode is talking about the way that Nicki Minaj fans have felt that she has not been protected while they have enjoyed her bullying of others and how protection of Black women is a social contract requiring give and take. I also discuss the Iran War and Leftists both sides are the same arguments being harmful to progress and dishonest while also taking some time to reflect on what Scream 7 tries to say about intergenerational trauma and how we prepare our children to deal with our own demons or choose to try to have them avoid it all together and if there is any wisdom in that?

Send us Fan MailWelcome back! This week we are talking about how Chris Noth tried to use Sarah Jessica Parker's sometimes poor public perception to cloak himself from the SA allegations and how we aren't going for it. We'll also talk about how the March for Life is nonsense as the Right doesn't care about life they care about maintaining control. The government isn't there when women need help but steps up to punish them when children they are forcing them to have die because they just needed support and how liberation can only come from education. Support the show

Send us Fan MailHappy New Year super late. I am finally well and able to record again and I plan to be more consistent. This week I am talking about how I spent a year not dating and how I have decided I don't want to date at all anymore. I want to focus on myself and my goals and my dreams and that I feel liberated in that. I also talk about the Trump administration and we touch on Rene Good and the racism and sexism at work to dismantle the rights we have as women and women of color for those of us who fit that description. I encourage you to stop being afraid in these dangerous times to build community with women and claim your feminism and lastly I again encourage you to spend less time with your child's father if you guys broke up and he is not being the person he is supposed to be because you're doing free PR for someone who does not care about you.Feel Free to Like my Facebook Page!

I also briefly discuss the Door Dash Girl incident. Thank you for your earsSupport the show

Send us Fan MailThis episode revolves around acknowledging the reason that the holidays no longer feel the same is because women are not investing the same amount of labor into the holidays for free anymore and rightfully so. We also discuss the perception versus the reality that male podcasters promote when it comes to women and dating like Andrew Wilson vs Charlie revealed not only his hypocrisy but that women do have intrinsic value to men which is why they never consider just not dating us. We also discuss centering your sanity and safety in co parenting and why Ray J's latest alleged domestic violence highlights precisely why we should not feel pressure to shelter abusive male family membersSupport the show

Send us Fan MailThis week I am kicking off season 2 talking about the times we are living in politically and how we have to start thinking and moving differently for survival.

We need to be pushing back on casual misogyny and finding ways to prioritize ourselves and our safety. Support the show

Send us Fan MailLet's talk about how people have a propensity towards trying to tear down women who rap based on stan wars rather than accepting that there are different lanes for each woman to occupy and we don't have to listen to anyone we dislike, Shacarri Richardson's domestic violence against her partner and why we need to have honest conversations about this that still provide understanding that it proceeds to lethal still more often with male abusers.Please like, subscribe and support.

Send us Fan MailThis week I reflect on a conversation I had on Twitter and my TikTok where men were saying women use them for free food by going on the dinner dates they asked us to go on with them. Reality is men do not see value is spending time with women unless it develops into the possibility of body sharing and that's because they are projecting because they don't feel like they have anything much to offer themselves besides money, nor have they tried to cultivate more than that so they have made relationships as a whole transactional while becoming angry at women for recognizing it and demanding value for their time efforts and energy. The latter part is an encouragement for you, as a woman to cultivate the kind of life you deserve free from the expectations that you have to perform womanhood as a service. This is your one life. What do you want from it? How are you working towards it? And for yourself.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThis episode does have some distortion due to being record on my iPhone. And experiment I will not be repeating.

Send us Fan MailWhen you have survived domestic violence or any kind of abuse many people do not want to hear your story because it makes them face what they have done to others or been complicit in themselves.

But we are still here. And we will not be quiet.
