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...

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...

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 cas...

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. Celeste Davi...

In this episode, we unpack tall poppy syndrome and why ambitious women are still seen as unlikeable, intimidating, or “unladylike.” Using themes from Off With Her Head by Eleanor Herman, we explore how society punishes women for wanting power, success, visibility, and leadership, while rewarding those same traits in men. From historical examples to modern studies, we examine why culture still cuts...

TW: details about sexual assault are discussed in this episode. This episode explores sexual coercion, purity culture, and marital rape. Katie shares some of her personal stories, experiences and background. We define key terms, explains the legal realities surrounding consent and spousal assault, and share statistics that highlight how common coercion is. The goal is to give listeners clear langu...

In this episode we discuss language and labor trends. From terms like emasculate and bachelor to the documented pattern of wages dropping as professions become female-dominated, to the breaking 2026 student loan policy that illustrates sexist patterns in real time. The evidence points to a consistent reality: the value of work often shifts based on who is doing it. Sources & Resources: https:/...

In this episode we are diving into a smorgasbord of quick-fire topics from cultural double standards to the narrative that boys are “falling behind,” to the criminalization of normal biological and trauma responses that women rely on to survive. And yes, we end at the female pinnacle aka orgasm.  Sources & Resources https://katieandjayfillmore.my.canva.site Pinkpill Shop: https://pinkpillrx.et...

Most of us were raised to believe discipline meant obedience, silence, and control. In this episode, we sit down with Megan Campbell, LCPC and host of I Have Shit to Say, to unpack how traditional discipline mirrors patriarchal power systems and what it costs our kids long term. We talk about positive discipline, behavior as communication, connection before correction, and why emotional regulation...

This episode came out of Katie’s recent spiral over realizing perimenopause and menopause are ahead, and how wildly unprepared most women are for it. We get into symptoms, the silence around it, the research gaps, the lack of real medical education, and why so many women often enter this stage of life blindly.

In this episode we discuss the recent deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, explore how current political narratives divide us, and confront our own privilege in interpreting events. We might not say all the “right things” in this episode, but we are talking about it because being silent isn’t an option at this point.

In this episode we open up about our own mental health journeys: the breakdowns, the misdiagnoses, the burnout, and the slow, painful process of unlearning what the world told us about who we should be.

Almost everything from cold plunges and diets to GLP-1 drugs, gut microbiomes, and creatine supplementation has been studied primarily on men. In this episode, we break down current trends and how the foundational research often excludes or underrepresents women, and what that means for your health, hormones, and performance. We discuss why the benefits hyped online may not translate the same way...

For decades medicine treated men as the standard and women as the exception. In this episode, we uncover how “normal” lab ranges, drug doses, and even imaging interpretations have biases and how that legacy still harms women today.

In this episode we uncover the history of gender bias in the U.S. justice system from jury exclusion and landmark cases to the daily realities of incarceration like limited menstrual products, reproductive neglect and losing parental rights.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most weaponized passages in Christian history, 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, the infamous “women should remain silent in the churches” verse. But what if Paul wasn’t commanding silence at all? What if he was quoting and then correcting the Corinthians for trying to muzzle women? We dive into one of the scholarly theories that flips this passage on its head, explorin...

TW: Religious Trauma In this episode we take on one of the most weaponized passages in the New Testament. We look at how 1 Timothy 2:11-14 has been wielded to shut women up, strip them of authority, and justify systems that keep men in charge. We dig into what was actually happening in Ephesus at the time, why “Paul’s words” weren’t written as a universal gag order on women, and how centuries of m...

You asked. We answered. In this listener Q&A, we talk about everything from behind the scenes to practical questions. Some topics include: how to talk to your partner about feminist issues, what to do when your partner doesn’t support your mental load, what’s the most dangerous thing people believe about women’s bodies we wish would just die already, and more.

A listener shares a raw, deeply personal story of disclosing marital rape and how her partner’s reaction turned the moment into his own emotional drama. In this episode, we break down why men so often center themselves when women share trauma: from protector fantasies and fragile masculinity to the social conditioning that teaches women to soothe male discomfort. We unpack the psychology behind em...

In this Haunted History episode, we enter a Twilight Zone of alternate timelines asking the big “what ifs” of women’s history. What if the witch hunts hadn’t erased generations of women healers? If authoritarian governments hadn’t cemented control over bodies and voices? What if women’s health had been researched at the same pace of men’s health? It’s a haunting reminder of how much has been lost,...

In this Haunted History episode, we expose how modern gynecology and obstetrics were built on the suffering of women—especially enslaved Black women experimented on by Marion Sims without anesthesia. We’ll trace how the flat-on-the-back birthing position came not from nature but from patriarchal convenience, how women were denied pain relief for religious reasons, and how procedures like routine e...

In this Haunted History episode, we uncover the chilling story of lobotomies and the women who were most often subjected to them. Sold as a miracle cure for everything from depression to defiance, the procedure left thousands of women scarred, silenced, or erased altogether. Behind the surgical theater curtain was a system that punished women for being “too much”—too emotional, too sexual, too amb...

In this Haunted History episode, we dig into Hysteria. The infamous diagnosis that turned women’s emotions, sexuality, and pain into a medical horror story. From ancient Greece’s myth of the “wandering womb” to the locked wards of 19th-century asylums, hysteria was never about healing women. It was about controlling them, silencing them, and punishing anyone who refused to conform. We also ask the...

In this episode we uncover how patriarchy erased women’s pleasure from medieval medicine to Freud to today’s orgasm gap.
