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.

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 down women who refuse to stay small.

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 language to understand and recognize sexual coercion.

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.

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.

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 matters more than compliance. Whether you’re parenting or unpacking your own childhood, this conversation will not disappoint.

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.

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 women and how that’s not women’s fault.

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 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, exploring how context and translation have shaped centuries of gender hierarchy and how theology, power, and patriarchy intersect within the text itself.

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 mistranslation and church politics turned a contextual warning into a tool of control.

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 emotional hijacking, the caregiver reflex survivors fall into, and what true support actually sounds like. This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness. About how “I can’t handle this” silences survivors, and how staying present, listening, and believing can literally change lives.

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, stolen, or delayed, and how far ahead we might already be if history had tipped the other way.

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 episiotomies, the so-called “husband stitch,” and even the chainsaw were justified.

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 ambitious. From housewives and daughters institutionalized against their will to famous cases like Rosemary Kennedy, lobotomies became a tool of control disguised as medicine. We’ll explore how this brutal chapter still haunts women’s healthcare today, where dismissal and overreach often go hand in hand.

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 unsettling question: has hysteria really disappeared, or is it still haunting us today under new names and modern disguises?

In this rapid-fire reaction episode, we’re listening to TikToks that will make you say wait, why aren’t we talking about this more? From the untapped power of menstrual stem cells, to the absurd fact that female CEOs just recently outnumbered CEOs named John. We’ll also explore how men’s health impacts pregnancy outcomes (including preeclampsia and morning sickness) and how it’s literally cheaper to feed and house people than abandon them.

What is mental load, and why is it so exhausting? In this episode, we sit down with Mental Load Coach Zach Watson to unpack the invisible labor that keeps households running and relationships afloat. In the first half, Zach shares his personal story of becoming a “recovering manchild” and how he came to coach men on emotional literacy and domestic equity. In the second half, we break down the nitty-gritty of cognitive, emotional, and domestic labor.

Therapist Laura Federico and midwife Morgan Miller join us to talk about their new book, The Cycle Book—a practical, myth-busting guide to hormone tracking and body literacy.

In this episode, we are joined by Shanna Pearson, a leading ADHD coach and author of the upcoming book Invisible ADHD (release date 9/9/25). Together we explore the often-missed signs of ADHD in girls and women. We unpack why ADHD often looks different in women, how traits like selective mutism, emotional sensitivity, and people-pleasing can delay diagnosis, and what happens when those internalized patterns carry into adulthood. Shanna brings a powerful mix of personal vulnerability and expertise to this important conversation.

In this episode we uncover how midwives and herbalists (once trusted healers) were branded as witches in a campaign to strip women of power, land, and medical authority.

Sometimes resistance looks like a spider plant, a pair of pants, or a tampon in your purse.

In this throwback-style episode, we riff on the viral “Princess Treatment vs. Bare Minimum” TikTok trend, including a flipped version where Jay asks the questions. We also dive into candid roleplaying where Katie becomes a guy who just doesn’t get it and Jay responds in real time. To close, we get honest about white privilege—specifically, how much privilege Katie holds as a white woman compared to women of color—and how feminism has helped shine a light on that privilege.

Why do so many men shut down emotionally - and what is the cost of that silence, not just for men, but for the women who love them? In this episode, we welcome our very first male guest: Owen Marcus. A leader in men’s emotional development and author of Grow Up: A Man’s Guide to Masculine Emotional Intelligence.

In this episode we dive into the groundbreaking framework of Australian sociologist Raewyn Connell, whose theory of masculinities reshaped how we understand men, power, and identity. Her model (now foundational in gender studies and beyond) outlines five distinct forms of masculinity, each shaped by class, race, sexuality, and power structures. From hegemonic masculinity to marginalized and complicit roles, we explore how these patterns play out in real life.
