Guest host Sarah joins Rose in a freewheeling discussion about alllllll the ways women are told to shrink, dismiss, and ignore how patriarchy instructs us to settle and date down.  Affirmative action for men in real time - Sarah and Rose tick through the boxes they've broken out of and how they orient themselves to successfully value themselves in the dating realm.

Guest host Anne-Sophie joins Rose to discuss the lessons learned from the reality tv show Summerhouse and Ciara Miller: how her charisma elevated her platform on the series, and how FDS queens might learn from her dating strategy to navigate their own. Join in to learn what we can learn about friendships and racial/class differences from reality tv. Wanna co-host with us? Email us at [email protected] Scrotes act up and then die mad

How to exist in a world where our worth is always someone else's concern? How to stay true to yourself when seemingly your environment judges and assigns value to every action you take, the way you present in the world, your clothes, your body language? Should we even care? We delve into self/identity as a woman and human being, and how we fully embody our selves in the face of non-stop criticism and ceaseless attention. Join us on this philosophical discussion to find some coping strategies and perhaps some insights. Stay zen our queens. XOXO
