To All the Men I've Tolerated Before

Natalie is joined by sex educator Erica Smith to talk about how our obsession with purity culture affects the quality of sex education we are given. Sex education should be something that is delivered to people without bias and without the idea that virginity and religion should be at the center of your sexual identity. Erica is the creator of the Purity Culture Dropout program that aims to provide support to people who are wanting to de-program from purity culture and take part in sex education that is queer inclusive, safe, and informative. The episode will center around how we became so purity driven when it came to sexuality, the consequences we face when sex is only viewed from the lens of religious morality, and what steps we can be taking to make sure we are talking about sex in ways that everyone has the knowledge to make decisions based in how they actually feel.Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram!https://www.patreon.com/menivetoleratedpod on Patreon for bonus content!

This Summer Break Replay is in honor of Taylor Swift owning her entire music catalogue.f you haven't heard, Natalie went to the Eras Tour. That means she has been doing a deep dive on her favorite songs from Taylor Swift. Which means that she has also been reflecting on how misogyny plays into the songs she has written and how widespread everyday misogyny is reflected throughout Taylor's career. Elizabeth Kyle is the perfect Swiftie to help guide Natalie through this conversation. The two women discuss the social dynamics that goes into being a Swiftie, the focus on the men she has had relationships with, and how she has been treated as a professional in the music industry. Between the two of them, they go straight from a Lover to their Midnights Era, and talk about how being aware of how internalized misogyny and widespread cultural misogyny affects people on a larger scale. Topics that are confronted are the way we view success among women creators, to the way we talk about women who have had bad relationships, and how we talk about other women's bodies and our own bodies. And that's some real Vigilante Shit.Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram and https://www.patreon.com/menivetoleratedpod on Patreon for bonus content!

Anora is written and directed by Sean Baker and tells the story of an exotic dancer named Ani who after a whirlwind couple of days finds herself married and then divorced by a Russian wealthy man named Vanya. This episode will cover what fell flat for both women when it came to Ani's character development, the worldbuilding, and whether or not Anora really deserved all the praise it was getting for being a movie about an empowered woman and a statement against how wealthy people in an Oligarch treat the working class.

Julia Washington (Pop Culture Makes Me Jealous) is back this week to discuss how misogyny makes it incredibly hard for women and other marginalized groups to experience joy. Natalie and Julia discuss how women's hobbies and interests aren't taken seriously and how happiness has been weaponized against women making them feel uncomfortable when they are experiencing pride within themselves. Other topics include how racism, classism, and fatphobia also contribute to marginalized joy.

We will be replaying our episode on the Four Fear Responses this week! I am hoping that this episode will make you feel less alone if you are currently experiencing a lot of fear responses over the news, our current trying times, or anything else you may be going through. Hopefully if we can identify when our body is in a fear response, it can help us affirm ourselves and our feelings.Am I actually in danger or is this just new? Amy Green Smith, host of the Bold-Faced Truth podcast, is here to discuss the four fear responses. How does our fear manifest in a modern world where there's not a large animal chasing us and we have protection from the elements? Now we have the new fear response of fawning that manifests as people pleasing. Our flight response resonates in the way we experience depression. And how does misogyny use our fear responses as a tool to oppression and a way to keep us silent and small?

Julia has been creating content about dating herself and doing activities that you would find in a standard Rom Com to try and find her ideal relationship. Her and Natalie will discuss how the dating landscape has changed as women's expectations for relationships and dating have evolved as they do things like de-centering men and honing in on their own independence and power.

Natalie is joined by her friend Shanaz to get her thoughts straight on the Netflix docu-series, America's Sweethearts Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. After a casual watch of the show, Natalie was convinced that DCC and the series was a great work of women supporting other women and her ideal type of feminism. It took a lot of people, including Shanaz, to get her to watch it again and see the sinister misogyny lurking behind the pretty facade. Shanaz and Natalie will talk about a lack of body diversity, low pay, women being in competition with one another, women being a commodity for men, and other ways misogyny presents itself within DCC.Make sure you have subscribed to us on Patreon!

Morgan is the host of the podcast, Female Gaze: The Film Club, where she and her guests discuss films directed by female filmmakers. Natalie and Morgan will discuss the nuances and differences they see when female filmmakers are the ones capturing women's experiences. Directors of note will be Greta Gerwig, Sophia Coppola, Natalie Morales, Chloe Zhao, and more!

This week's guest is Brianna McCabe, author of the book The Red Flags I've (Repeatedly) Ignored. Natalie and Brianna will share some instances from their past relationships and dating expectations where they knew they were definitely ignoring the red flags the other person was presenting loudly and without question. The two women will also discuss why women may feel pressured to ignore red flags, how loving yourself and having clear expectations helps combat settling for subpar partners, and what red flags became deal breakers as they grew more experienced in dating. Help us get to the root cause of ignoring red flags by telling us why you've found yourself dating someone who was a walking red flag!Make sure you have subscribed to us on Patreon!

BJ Colangelo (This Ends At Prom) joins Natalie on the pod to talk about misogyny's effects on gender expression. The women will discuss their experiences expressing their femininity and how misogyny played a role in how free they felt to do so when they were younger. Androgyny and who gets to set the rules of gender expression will also be discussed as well as how body image plays a role in gender expression and how gender expression plays a role in your sexuality. Also, because Natalie can't help herself, there will even be some references to some great movies and how gender was played with in film.Make sure you have subscribed to us on Patreon!

This week I am featuring a guest spot that I did with Julia Washington on her podcast Pop Culture Makes Me Jealous. PCMMJ is the podcast that delves into pop culture through the lens of race, gender, or sometimes both. During this episode Julia and I discuss whether or not this scary, sexy movie was really ever meant for children. And of course I go hard on the misogyny represented within the character arc for Esmerelda and how she's viewed by her male counterparts. What was Disney's goal with this movie?During our summer break, there will be new content released exclusively on Patreon!

Our reality tv historian, Annie Sieg, joins the show today to talk about the flop that was Vanderpump Rules season 11. It didn't take us long to realize that this season would not be delivering us the girl power season of our dreams were we abandoned trying to see Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz as good people who deserve audiences. Instead, we were delivered a season of any type of misogyny you could see in your everyday life. We had women be expected to the do the emotional and mental labor to make men feel better about their actions. It was a season where women spent more time disrespecting one another's boundaries then lending a helping hand. And it was worst of all, a season that tried to center and put on a pedestal the very men who were hurting the women of the series. We wanted better, Bravo. At least Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney were there to show us how our boundaries are important, we are allowed to be honest about the way we've been hurt, and we don't need to live our lives in the name of hoping the men around us like us.Make sure you have subscribed to us on Patreon!

How did we fall for men who don't like us? How often did I wake up and realize I was in a love triangle? Natalie is joined by the hosts of the podcast To All the YA I've Loved Before for this week's episode! Kaycee and Ashley explore the young adult literature millenials consumed such as Sweet Valley High, Gossip Girl, Dear America, and other young adult literature that was aimed specifically at young girls. Natalie and her two guests will have some fun reminiscing about their favorite teen book series while also deep diving on the weird messages those books gave them as young pre-teen girls. There will also be some recommendations of some YA Lit you can check out to see how the genre has evolved to be more inclusive and less misogynistic. Make sure you have subscribed to us on Patreon!
