Sad Girls Against The Patriarchy

Not something to take lightly! Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but it comes with a lot of health risks. Pregnant people should be given alllll the accommodations needed to keep them safe... Instead of having their jobs threatened or being bullied at work, which unfortunately happens all the time :( ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music producer @iamjonnibrooks.eth

Britney has been freeeeed! We love to see it. Alexis walks us through the life of our princess of pop: grew up in a small town, released her first album in '99, and in 2008 was locked into the infamous conservatorship under her lousy dad! She had no privacy, no control over her finances, and considering how many men live the "rockstar life" even after they have kids, we're pretty damn sure this wo...

Do we like Paris Hilton? She's on video saying some awful things, has a reputation as "famous for being famous", and is the quintessential nepo baby. She's also an abuse survivor and has been using her influence to empower young women and advocate for reform in the troubled teen industry. People are complicated. And she's not perfect, but she's more than the promiscuous party girl the media has ma...

Une critique! Something a lil different... the girls review the meme-book, that one you've seen alllll over ig (we liked it). ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music producer @iamjonnibrooks.eth

True Crime has been around forever and ever, but thanks to the advent of podcasts (hey we’ve heard of those), the genre is especially popular today. Women are more likely to read/watch/and listen to true crime, and researchers have studied why! This episode goes into the history of true crime, the ethics of consuming it, and why women are more interested in the genre. ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misand...

This episode tackles the questions: are men really "more visual"? do women get anything out of porn? why is it that the majority of people who read erotic novels are women? Inspired by the recent 50 Shades of Grey episode and our love for the (sexy) written word. ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music producer @iamjonnibrooks.eth

The stats vary slightly depending on source, but the reality is heterosexual men orgasm almost every time they have sex (upwards of 90% of the time) and heterosexual women just don't. Straight cis women are only getting off during about half of their sexual encounters! This is cruel and unfair and the world must know. ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music producer @iamjonnibro...

For this magical holiday, let's mix it up a bit! Here's a review of the cinematic masterpiece, the visual poetry, your favorite film of 2015: Fifty Shades of Grey. Our longest episode yet, for some reason. Merry Xmas babes <3 ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music producer @iamjonnibrooks.eth

It came from the manosphere. . . In part 1 we learn about pickup artists, or PUAs — a group of men who've designed manipulative strategies in an attempt to attract women. In part 2, we explore the community of men's rights advocates, or MRAs — a group that feels men are the oppressed gender. The Sad Girls were not a fan of either. lolwtfbbq ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / musi...

There's a popular myth that women are attracted to "alpha males". Well, the researchers who popularized the concept of alpha males in nature have since backtracked! "Alpha" isn't a personality type, it's more like a political position. And alphas are caretakers, they're kind, they're more empathetic than others in the group. Lots of good facts here to throw in an incel's face. ig: @sadgap.podcast...

AKA, two very monogamous not at all polyamorous people try to make sense of polyamory.  Can we look to the animal kingdom to explain human behavior and sexuality?? You gotta listen to find out. ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music producer @iamjonnibrooks.eth

Turns out, there's no physical, internal clock when it comes to fertility. If you wanted kids, you might extra want them later, and that's great. If you didn't want kids, even factoring in hormonal changes as you get older, TIME ALONE WILL NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. That's also great. The more ya know. ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music producer @iamjonni.brooks

No. ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music producer @iamjonnibrooks.eth

Bondage & Discipline, Domination & Submission, Sadism & Masochism. More than a Rihanna song, better than 69 Tones of Smoke or whatever. The Sad Girls talk about BDSM in history, psychology, the context of feminism, and, as usual, the importance of consent. 24-Hr Los Angeles Rape & Battering Crisis Line (Peace Over Violence): 213-626-3393 24-Hr locations in LA for a sexual assault e...

This episode picks up where we left off in 1973, when the supreme court decided abortion was a constitutional right. In 2022 they undecided it, and in the interim conservative lawmakers did their best to restrict and ban safe abortions :( Includes discussion of the real 'Jane Roe', Crisis Pregnancy Centers (bad), and the actual reason people are so vehemently anti-abortion. -National Network of Ab...

In Native American tribes and amongst the English colonizers who decimated them, terminating a pregnancy through herbal methods was not only allowed but also socially acceptable. It wasn't until the formation of the American Medical Association in the mid-1800s that abortion became criminalized and stigmatized. Why? Because of what Americans do best: racism. Learn about the history of abortion rig...

The A Team (or just Alison and Alexis) talk about their Big 5, share sad childhood stories, and a hot take or two! More chill gab than educational content but hey, we all contain multitudes.  ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music producer @iamjonnibrooks.eth

Hedy Lamarr: Hollywood icon and brilliant inventor, who fought for her reputation as more than just a pretty face. Hedy was a vintage bombshell that also invented frequency-hopping technology, paving the way for modern-day Wi-Fi! Partially to thank for our internet addiction (and much more)! Tune in to learn about this retro girlboss. ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music prod...

The little hill. The they/them in a boat. The bean. We’re here to talk about the Sweetness of Venus: the clitoris. It’s been excised, erased from history, a terror to men, and now finally gets the attention it deserves. Sort of. It's getting better at least. **Note! The history of the clit contains a lot of gendered language, but remember not all people who have clitorises identify as women and no...

In 1692, shit went DOWN in Salem (Village), Massachusetts. Yes, yes, sure, men were accused of being witches too, but ~75% of the accusations were against women and 3x as many women were executed. SO sexism prevails yet again, even though retro Salem witchy times were a bad time for, well, everyone. Alison leads this one, with sexy gravelly partied-too-hard voice. ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandrist...

Tune in to learn about the history of witchcraft! "Witches" were hunted from the 15th to 18th century all around the world. The VAST majority of those persecuted were women, since they were viewed as sinful, dangerous, and susceptible to the influence of the D e v i l :O ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music producer @iamjonnibrooks.eth

Thanks to Mattel, all problems of feminism have been solved! We know, we know, EVERYONE is talking about Barbie. But thanks to Barbieland, ~patriarchy~ is all over your feed, and that's one of our favorite topics to dissect. **FULL OF SPOILERS  ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf / music producer @iamjonnibrooks.eth

Last time on Sad GAP we talked about the boss bitches who held it down on the home front during WW2. This week we talk about the feminist black hole that followed the end of the war! Women were ousted from their jobs and sent home to pro-create and serve their husbands. Housewives were popping pills to get by and the rising second wave feminism failed in terms of intersectionality. All around bad...

Today we learn about the experiences of the ~brave American women~ who joined the military & went into manufacturing work during the second world war. They outpaced their male counterparts as engineers and factory workers, died on the battlefield tending to wounded soldiers, and generally kicked ass all around. We Can Do It! Or something. ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf

There are numerous examples of female-led societies in past, present, and in the animal kingdom. Are you shocked to learn that they’re LESS violent and MORE egalitarian? Neither were we. This is a fun one because matriarchies are cool af, but a sad one because we can’t have nice things.  ig: @sadgap.podcast / @misandristmemes / @txgothgf
