In the second part of this two part series, we sit down to discuss the warning signs of escalating domestic violence, why strangulation is a critical red flag, and why leaving can be the most dangerous time for a survivor. We challenge common myths about abuse, explore how to support someone who is struggling, and break down what safety planning and reaching out to an advocate actually look like. We also discuss Harbor House’s campaign to open a new domestic violence shelter and how listeners can help make that vision a reality. Whether you’re navigating abuse yourself or trying to support someone you love, this conversation offers insight, resources, and a reminder that help is available.

In this two-part series, we sit down with Taylor and Jayden from Harbor House to unpack the realities of domestic violence, from financial and spiritual abuse to coercive control and the warning signs that often appear before lethal force or before physical violence begins. We explore the statistics every woman should know, the Power and Control Wheel, why certain groups face greater risks, and how to recognize abuse when you’re not even sure your relationship qualifies.

*Correction: In this episode, I mention the Cornell 7 and incorrectly claim that two were suspended when they were actually expelled. The other five had to attend workshops and/or write essays.  In this episode of PinkpillRx, we explore the medical gaze, why so many structures of female reproductive anatomy are named after male physicians and we also examine the fascinating case of the rete ovarii, a structure known since the 19th century that was largely dismissed as a vestigial remnant and eventually disappeared from many anatomy textbooks. From the medical gaze to anatomical eponyms, from the history of gynecology to the rediscovery of overlooked biology, this episode asks the question: Who gets to decide what is worth studying, naming, remembering, and believing about women’s bodies?

In this episode, we actually have a good news segment before we dive into the history of rape and sexual assault—how it was traditionally defined and viewed, who the laws protected and what you can thank a feminist for. We also share several follower stories about abuse, rape and coercion. This isn’t a light episode, so trigger warning if these topics feel too heavy to hear.

NOTE: This episode is a discussion and critique of AI, not an endorsement of its use. In this episode, we’re taking a look into gender bias in AI. We discuss how AI can reproduce and potentially amplify existing inequalities in healthcare, medical research, diagnosis, treatment, and hiring practices, including the ways women can be overlooked or disadvantaged when the underlying data does not adequately represent them. We examine what this means for women seeking medical care, women entering the workforce, and anyone whose life may increasingly be influenced by AI and algorithms.

In this episode, we look at the rules that have been imposed on women and then disguised as nature, morality, religion, or social order. From unpaid domestic labor and the expectation that women should tolerate pain, to the persecution of women who stepped outside prescribed roles. Who really benefits when women’s labor or limitations are treated as “natural”?

Where did the idea that women are “gossips” come from? In this episode we explore the origins of gossip, the gossip bridle (how it was used to punish outspoken women), and why gossip can actually serve important social functions. We also unpack women’s tendency to self-silence, the health consequences of constantly swallowing thoughts and emotions, and share studies on relationships, communication, and couples’ arguments.

Our first mini-episode. Short format, four quick-paced topics. We talk about where the “wife beater” tank top name might have come from (the folklore), if men really are more visual creatures than women, Flock camera surveillance of one woman and how men and women might describe pain differently.

For most of history, women were denied education, denied leadership, and told the reasons “why” were “natural facts” instead of rules someone wrote down. In this episode, we brief on the history of women’s education, we trace how modern complementarianism got built in 1987, why a mediocre man benefits most from keeping women out of the room, how women are still being silenced in the workplace, and who is more obedient—men or women?

A wide-ranging conversation on the burdens women carry and the narratives that sustain them. We discuss a listener’s story about invisible labor as well as fear and safety, false rape accusations versus sexual violence, gender expectations, and new research that reveals female biology is far more active than we’ve been led to believe and more.

In the first half of this episode, we examine questions like why is sleeping with men considered something that lowers a woman’s value…but the ultimate insult to a man is that he slept with a man? Why is a drunk woman irresponsible while a drunk man is excused? Why is a woman who prioritizes her career “selfish,” while a man doing the same is “ambitious”? In the second half of the episode, we take a research-based look at the manosphere, incel ideology, and the growing body of evidence separating loneliness from misogyny. We break down the differences between the red pill, black pill, incels, and the broader manosphere, examine how online grievance communities radicalize vulnerable men, and discuss what the research actually says about hostility toward women.

It’s Katie’s birthday, and her best friend is joining us for the episode—who also happens to be Jay’s twin sister. The result is laughs, tangents, sibling stories, and unfiltered conversation. This episode we are asking questions. Do women actually talk more than men, or is that just another persistent stereotype? Are women’s medical procedures reimbursed at lower rates than comparable procedures for men? And why do women often pay more? From prescription medications and car insurance to pink tariffs and other gender-based price disparities? Along the way, we catch ourselves uncovering yet another example of internalized sexism in real time, proving that even when you spend your time examining gender inequality, it still has a way of sneaking up on you.

This week’s episode is a true grab bag of commentary and internet rabbit holes. We react to trending TikToks, including women’s educational attainment and the decreasing value of college, the enduring sexualization of breasts, why Satan is almost always portrayed as male, and why momma bear’s porridge was too cold. On the news front, we discuss the “three miscarriage rule” and examine a recent case involving a light sentence for a sexual assault perpetrator. We round out the episode discussing sexual assault statistics and a recent study involving men admitting to assault.

In this episode, we unpack the deeper social shift transforming modern relationships: for the first time in history, large numbers of women no longer need marriage for financial survival. As economic dependence declines, relationships are increasingly based on choice rather than necessity, changing what people expect from partners and what makes someone desirable in the dating market.
