Sometimes, dreams really do come true and that's what this episode is this week! Kristen Meinzer (The Daily Fail) joins us this week to talk about misogyny in the royal family. Natalie and Kristen will talk about the double standards Kristen has observed as a professional royal watcher. Whether it's pitting Kate against Megan, the press being more lenient on men, or the royal pressure of women to be perfect wives that produce perfect heirs; you can't deny that misogyny has woven its way into royalty and has been there for generations.Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram!

They discuss personal experiences, the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, particularly women, and the societal expectations that shape their lives. The conversation also touches on the role of men in feminism, the impact of patriarchy, and the importance of building community and advocating for change.

Description:In this Road Tripping episode, Jen is joined by one of her dearest friends — the brilliant and beloved author and interviewer, Kelly Corrigan. Kelly read Awake cover to cover (twice!) and came armed to the live Awake Book Tour event in Denver, Colorado with ten of her favorite lines from the book, inviting Jen to riff on each one in real time. What unfolds is a night of belly laughs, truth-telling, and deep reflection on faith, patriarchy, divorce, parenting adult kids, therapy, rebuilding your life, and why middle age is actually the most freeing chapter yet. This conversation is Jen and Kelly at their absolute best: funny, wise, irreverent, and wide open. Growing up inside patriarchal faith systems and the lifelong impact of being taught not to trust your own intuition Why Jen believes that curiosity has never led her wrong — but that certainty has led her down many dead ends The moment that Jen realized the patriarchy harms everyone, including the men and boys she loves How purity culture can shape (and warp) our early ideas about sex, marriage, and womanhood Parenting through divorce and the shift from coaching to comforting Therapy breakthroughs around conflict, attachment styles, codependency, and dropping the need to control others' emotions Thought-provoking Quotes: “Curiosity has never led me wrong. Certainty has led me down so many dead ends.” —Jen Hatmaker “Patriarchy messed both of us up. Neither one of us was meant to live inside those roles.” —Jen Hatmaker “When you try to rush your kids through their hard feelings, they feel abandoned. Comfort over coaching — that's where we live.”  —Jen Hatmaker “I'm not your leader. I'm your sister. This book isn't a prescription. It's my story handed to you with open hands.”  —Jen Hatmaker “Sometimes the worst thing that ever happens ends up becoming the best thing. Not because of the pain — but because of the life that blooms afterward.” —Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker – https://amzn.to/440b5YW Tell Me More: Stories About the 12 Hardest Things I'm Learning to Say by Kelly Corrigan –  https://amzn.to/4an9rUX The Middle Place by Kelly Corrigan – https://amzn.to/49Xueyt Kelly Corrigan Wonders podcast – https://www.kellycorrigan.com/podcast Who Is Government?: The Untold Story of Public Service by Michael Lewis – https://amzn.to/4pLC3Md Guest's Links: Website - https://www.kellycorrigan.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellycorrigan Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kelly.corrigan.376 Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@kellycorriganvideo Podcast - https://www.kellycorrigan.com/podcast Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  Listen in as Jen and Kelly discuss: To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Guilt, shame, and fear around academic writing show up far more often than we admit. And for many academics, those emotions become so intertwined with our identity that even seeing the phrase "making time to write" can trigger a full-body "Nope!"  I was reminded of this last week during the National Women's Studies Association conference in Puerto Rico. The conference was beautifully integrated with local scholars, activists, and artists, creating a powerful space for community and reflection.  What surprised me most, though, was the range of reactions people had when they walked by our booth and saw my book. Some people laughed; some avoided eye contact and literally walked (or ran!) away; others said, "You're making me feel so bad." That emotional recoil is exactly why today's episode exists. This week, I'm diving deep into what guilt, shame, and overwhelm around writing really reveal—not about you as an individual, but about the sociocultural and institutional contexts you're working within. If you've internalized the idea that your inconsistent writing practice is a personal flaw, this discussion will help you understand why that narrative is wrong, and how to reclaim the sense of agency you absolutely do have. If you've ever thought, "I should be writing," and immediately felt terrible, this one's for you. Tune in, and let's talk about what's really holding back your academic writing and how to move through it. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.

In this bonus episode, we break down Yolanda Adams' now-viral statement that "God is bigger than gender" — and why church folks absolutely lost their minds over it. Kristian is joined by Myron The Mystic, Nikki The Anchor, and Auntie Mazda Miles for this convo. We explore how patriarchy, biblical interpretation, and supremacy culture shape the way people imagine God and why the idea of a non-male God triggers so much rage.

Send us a Positive Review!Join Valerie and therapist colleague Dr. Julie Hanks in this recording of a recent “Instagram Live” where they explored the recent breaking news from LDS Newsroom decreasing the eligibility age from 19 to 18 for young women interested in serving full-time missions. In this conversation Val and Julie tackle possible as variety of topics, including short term and long term social, cultural, and mental health drawbacks and benefits that might follow this policy change. They also address how skyrocketing attrition rates from women in patriarchal churches worldwide (and within the LDS church) might be connected to this shift in policy. Don't miss this riveting discussion that continues to correlate the connection between psychological health and gender equality—a topic that these two heritage Latter-day Saint therapists have committed a great deal of their careers to highlighting for the benefits of the LDS Church and all connected to it.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction and Guest Introduction01:29 – Implications of Mission Age Change02:27 – Gender Roles and Patriarchy03:30 – Strategic Motivations and Retention04:51 – Personal Reflections on Mission Experiences06:04 – Missions as Catalysts for Change08:45 – Concerns About Early Marriage and Education10:00 – Generational Differences and Faith Journeys12:23 – Temple Access for Young Women13:30 – Women Leaving Organized Religion14:09 – Challenges and Opportunities for Church Evolution16:00 – Paradox of Devotion and Faith Crisis19:16 – Balancing Individuality and Community in Faith20:30 – The Church's Developmental Stage22:21 – Potential for Organizational Change24:00 – Normalizing Women's Leadership31:50 – Impact of Mission Age on Family Life32:17 – Egalitarian Structure in the Church33:32 – Women's Leadership and Identity35:30 – Birth Rate and Missionary Integration37:00 – Economic Realities and Family Planning39:39 – Mental Health Concerns for Young Missionaries40:24 – Pressure and Autonomy in Missionary Service42:00 – Stigma and Social Ranking45:23 – Patriarchy and Gender Roles in the Church47:15 – The Cost of Conformity49:54 – Encouragement for Individual Choices51:00 – Redefining Spirituality and Autonomy52:39 – Conclusion and Final ThoughtsSupport the showSupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Access $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website

Maar vrouwen zijn die systemen aan het hertekenen, samen.Mariam Harutyunyan, biowetenschapper en voorzitter van de Vrouwenraad, gaat in gesprek met Kristel Vanderlinden, toekomststrateeg en femtech futurist.Over genderbias, onzichtbaar werk, medische ongelijkheid en de kracht van vrouwelijke perspectieven.Een gesprek dat niet polariseert, maar perspectief geeft: wat als we het systeem niet bevechten, maar vernieuwen? Intimate Talks is een podcastreeks van Generation WOW in samenwerking met Saforelle, waar we gesprekken brengen die vrouwen vaak voelen maar zelden uitspreken.Samen met host Chloé Van Elsen en krachtige gasten uit onze WOW-community duiken we in de spanningsvelden tussen ambitie, intimiteit, lichaam en mindset.

Why We Still Can't Say ‘Vagina' at Work, and What It's Costing Women in Leadership. Ugh. I know.

What begins as a conversation about fem-tech quickly expands into a deeper truth:You cannot build a world that values women if you still devalue the female body.From being laughed at on stage for saying the word “vagina,” to navigating investor meetings where a woman's worth is often assessed before her work isKamola breaks down the emotional, biological, and cultural realities women face when they lead inside male-designed systems.Together, we explore:Why de-stigmatizing women's bodies is a leadership issue, not a “women's topic”How shame shapes everything from our ambition to our burnout cyclesWhy female biology is not a weakness, but a strategic advantageThe hidden mental load female founders carry in every roomHow to stay authentic when the world rewards you for fitting inHow to build inner power even when the system feels riggedThis is an episode for every woman who has ever hustled through pain, silenced her intuition to appear “professional,” or tried to win inside a structure that was never built for her.If you're ready to unlearn the shame, reclaim your biology, and lead from a place of grounded power, this one is for you.Chapters:00:55 Intro: Why femtech isn't niche but a cultural revolution01:20 Moving past generations of research centered on white men02:16 The rise of women leading taboo-breaking innovation02:49 How women are finally steering investment and change03:37 Celebrating Kamola Mir, Founder/ CEO reshaping women's health with Lidavex: Building an ecosystem that returns ownership to women's bodies04:16 Kamola's Trauma: childbirth care built without women in mind06:00 Leaving patriarchal workplaces, listening to our inner voice and create the change we need in the world07:30 Women must fight for their bodies09:07 The moment intuition becomes survival in labor10:41 Why women need both intuition and data to lead well12:06 How shame still silences women's conversations about our bodies13:03 Reclaiming our anatomy and naming our truths without fear15:01 When saying “vagina” triggers giggles and how to speak up17:09 Patriarchy at work and why women don't fit the 9–5 mold19:37 Redefining productivity through the wisdom of female cycles21:08 Navigating sexualization while trying to lead authentically24:26 Three ways women can release shame and rise into leadership29:43 Building an immune system for disagreement and staying grounded under pressure31:53 The emotional cost of being ‘fuckable' in male-dominated spaces & how to deal with it33:07 Showing up empowered while navigating safety, power, and perception37:53 Knowing when to adapt, when to walk away, and when to stand your ground43:01 Why patriarchal hustle culture breaks women's bodies and how to reclaim balance Connect with Kamola on LinkedInDiscover, stay up to date, fund and support Lidovix' journey: Website and LinkedInUntil next time!! xx Connect with me:IG: https://www.instagram.com/whereboundariesdissolvepodcast?igsh=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D&utm_source=qrTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@helena.arjuna?_t=8oSbtTilPSQ&_r=1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenasuter/ Youtube: https://youtube.com/@whereboundariesdissolvepodcast?si=g63NToOK45W1CiBI Support the show

Patriarchal expectations of men remain strongly embedded in our society and culture, but it's time to break the guy code. Men are stuck in a bubble internally; they are supposed to be stoic, strong and masculine, and uphold rigid norms placed on them from the past several generations, reports Dr. Christopher Wilson, a certified sex therapist who works with cishet and non-cishet men who are struggling with the patriarchal negative and want to break free of it.  Women have been hurt disproportionately through the years by the patriarchal model – voting rights, wage discrepancies, financial freedom – but this is changing. Unfortunately, the traditional model for men is not. They feel an internal battle; they don't want to give up their position, but at the same time, they feel trapped in a small rigid box of social expectations that they cannot step out of or there will be repercussions, they feel. Men want emotional expression, but in many cases, their female partners shut them down because they, too, are not prepared for this patriarchal change and don't know how to handle it.  In this Smart Sex, Smart Love podcast, Dr. Wilson will talk about why men struggle with emotional recognition, the four domains where men can get hurt, and how men can break the guy code in a healthy way and be free to be who they are, which ultimately will lead to a better society for everyone.Support the show

The Regime of the Brother is a book of psychoanalytic feminist theory (particularly leaning on Lacan), explaining why we no longer live in an Oedipal patriarchy, but rather live in a 'sham-Oedipus' regime of the brother.

You Can Save the West by Having a Family The Patriarchy Podcast | Pastor Joseph Spurgeon In this episode, Joseph Spurgeon dismantles the foolish idea that “you can’t save the West by having a family.” He walks through the biblical, historical, and cultural reality that civilizations live or die on the strength of the household—and why children are not a distraction from the cultural battle… they are the battle. Joseph responds to a popular post-liberal article claiming young men should avoid marriage and kids in order to “fight the culture war.” In typical Patriarchy fashion, he exposes the lie, opens Scripture, and makes the case that families—not frustrated bachelors—are what actually build nations and save civilizations. Be fruitful. Multiply. Take dominion. This is how you fight. Episode Description Civilizations don’t collapse because men have too many kids—they collapse because men stop having them. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon dismantles the idea that young men should avoid marriage and children for the sake of “saving the West.” He exposes the shallow logic of post-liberal elitism, shows why children are weapons in the cultural battle, and walks through Scripture and history to demonstrate one central truth: Nations are built, defended, and renewed by fathers, mothers, and their children—not isolated activists. If you want to strengthen the church, rebuild culture, and see Christ’s Kingdom advance, then pick up a hammer, marry a wife, raise godly children, and take dominion. This is how men fight. Be strong in body, mind, and heart—for the glory of the Lord, the love of neighbor, and the blessing of your posterity. Build. Fight. Protect. Lead.

If you have considered applying to Navigate or if you feel frustrated on the path to tenure, this episode is for you.

This week Mary B welcomes Angela Herrington to discuss her new book Embracing the Old Witch in the Woods: Liberating Feminine Wisdom from Christian Patriarchy. What begins as a discussion about favorite witches develops into a nuanced conversation about what it means to give oneself the same nurturing that women so often give to those they mother. In other words, we must learn how to mother ourselves. Herrington questions what baggage—rooted in Christian patriarchy—we've been carrying around that continues to cause us harm. Caring for ourselves allows us the capacity to care for others in whatever way we can. We cannot fix all of the world's problems, but we can help our neighbor and to do that we must help ourselves. Angela Herrington is a spiritual coach and seminary-trained online pastor who has spent more than a decade helping people break free from toxic religious culture. She is the host of The Deconstructing Faith Summit, a Lark's Song Certified Life Coach, and a dynamic conference speaker. Her work has been featured in The New Republic, Religion News Service, Hope for Women magazine, and Authority Magazine.  Angela and her unique online ministry are featured in Lyz Lenz's 2019 book God Land: Story of Faith, Loss, and Renewal in Middle America. She has published articles in Hope for Women and HOPE is Now magazines. Angela is the author of Deconstruct Your Faith Without Losing Yourself and Embracing the Old Witch in the Woods. She is also a wife, a mom to 5, and a proud resident of Marion, Indiana, with her family when they're not traveling the US in their RV.Get all the good stuff on Angela's website, angelajherrington.com.

We're the most educated generation of women in history. We're choosing ourselves in ways our mothers couldn't. And we're being punished for it. If you're feeling anxious, confused, or like you're being pushed back into a box you fought to get out of, you're not imagining it. There's a pattern. A system. And once you can see it, you can navigate it differently. Anna Malaika Tubbs (PhD, 2x NYT bestselling author of The Three Mothers and Erased) breaks down what we're actually up against and, more importantly, how to survive it while choosing yourself anyway. This is about recognition, strategy, and hope despite knowing the cost.

Forget “closing the gap.” It's widening — for the first time since the 1960s. And if you're waiting for the system to fix it, you'll be waiting forever. Because as Cindy Gallop says: no one's coming to save us.   Cost of waiting: Every underpaid year compounds the gap — not just in salary, but in wealth, opportunity, and ownership. This episode isn't about leaning in. It's about taking over. Cindy Gallop — entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of MakeLoveNotPorn.tv — joins Loren to dismantle outdated rules and lay out a new playbook for women who are done asking for permission.   In this episode: Why women must unapologetically set out to make a “god-fcking-sht-ton of money” — and why that's a good thing The mindset shift from “safe jobs” to self-ownership and wealth creation How to spot (and escape) the workplaces that quietly drain your confidence A simple rule for asking for your true value — and getting it Why starting your own business is the fastest path to power and equality The They Got Acquired mindset: why anything you build has value — and how to cash in on it How women can build their own financial ecosystems by funding, supporting, and hiring each other   Timestamps (0:00) – Intro: Why this pay gap is different (1:05) – Meet Cindy Gallop: The unapologetic truth-teller on money and power (3:00) – Patriarchy, pay, and why she's done explaining the “why” (5:20) – Make a god-fcking-sht-ton of money — and help other women do it (9:45) – Start your own business: the fastest path to equality (13:10) – The corporate dilemma: how to ask for your worth and when to walk (18:30) – Radical simplicity for confidence and negotiation (23:50) – How to network like a pro (Cindy's Dear Cindy method) (27:45) – Reinventing after layoffs and ageism — your next move starts now (31:30) – Final takeaways + Loren's 30-Day Blast invitation   Mic-Drop: No one's coming to save you.

After tenure, it can feel like everyone is depending on you, from students to your junior colleagues, your co-authors, and even your family.  In this episode, I explore what it really means to lead for legacy at this stage in your academic career. Leadership isn't about taking on more work or moving into administration. It's about how you show up for others while also taking care of yourself. I'll share how to lead in a way that sustains both you and the people who look to you for guidance.  Then, I break down why it is okay to focus your energy on your academic mission and cementing your legacy, even if that means saying no to people who helped you reach tenure. From prioritizing your wellbeing to reshaping your career to be what you want, I challenge you to shift your mindset on leadership. Listen in to learn how to lead for legacy without burning out, and how to model a new kind of success in academia. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.

We unpack the “deficit model” that defines Black men by what they lack, the male loneliness epidemic, and how patriarchy harms everyone — especially those it claims to empower.            Tune in on all podcast streaming platforms, including YouTube.        Leave a 5-star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if you found value in this episode or a previous episode!HOW TO FIND A DOPE, BLACK THERAPIST:————————————Looking for a Black therapist?
