In this series, I decode The Prince, one of the most controversial texts in history, to help women flip the patriarchy on its head. Most of us need to get better at reading between the lines. On top of that, too many of us don't see reality for what it is, because we're clouded by projection, fairness, and reciprocity. In this episode, I'll walk us through a 4-step funnel inspired by Machiavelli's The Prince and Discourses on Livy that'll help us make sense of people's behaviour and buffoonery. xoxoxo Neekolo Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 3:14 The 4-step funnel 4:41 1- Environment 15:07 2- Ambition 24:43 3- Perception 32:15 4- Self-concept If you get ads at the beginning of this…

In this episode, we're going to look at brainwashing (one of the top 3 fave tool of the patriarchy's PR team).

Patriarchy has made us believe we’re separate. It has pitted men against women, women against women, women against men. But this division is based on manufactured fear and scarcity. The truth is, we were never separate and we never can be. In fact, the ancients revealed five fundamental truths about humanity, the meaning of life, and what it means to be you. Those truths tell us exactly how to escape from the patriarchy. And it all starts with the consciousness you’re about to gain.

Patriarchy fetishizes youth and disdains aging. On top of that, it also functions based on zero-sum thinking: that for you to succeed, someone else has to lose.

The patriarchy is a textbook example of the law of inversion: what we see isn't the truth, it's a defence mechanism.

Women are not small men, yet for decades medical research has treated us as such. What's even worse is that women have been excluded from research because of our menstrual cycles.

Every culture and religion (yikes) has a variation of "The Golden Rule": Treat people how you want to be treated.

You can't want something and have it at the same time. So you stay in a perpetual state of want to prevent yourself from getting the things you desire. Then you breathe a sigh of relief, because nothing has to change. Unfortunately, stagnation feels more comfortable than success because your brain and nervous system want to keep you safe and comfy.

However, healing won't prevent you from ending up in the same situation that hurt you. In fact, it's a way many women internalize the external abuse they've encountered, and think they're broken.

In fact, making women think they're the chasers rather than the choosers goes against the matriarchal nature of human beings.

In this episode, I break down a simple psychological formula that turns mansplaining into a strategic advantage. Because it’s time to stop playing fair in an unfair world. When you understand the psychology behind why someone feels the need to explain everything to you, the dynamic DRASTICALLY changes. Instead of shutting them down, you guide the conversation, lower their guard, and steer the interaction where you want it to go. Smart women don’t get mad. They redirect a mansplainer’s impulse to explain into leverage. This episode explains the same elicitation techniques used by intelligence professionals in agencies like the FBI and CIA. These methods help…

Over explaining often comes from people pleasing, fear of judgment, and subtle social power dynamics. Once you see the pattern, you start noticing how explaining yourself too much affects confidence, boundaries, and the way people (don't) respect you. I'll break down the psychology behind over explaining, why women do it, and the mindset shift that helps you stop explaining yourself and start being taken seriously. This episode is complimentary to the one directly preceding it (Girly law of power #32: Stop trying to be understood by everyone).

It's also a way we get emotional safety, because we've been brainwashed to believe that our truth is only valid if others understand and accept it. What a load of baloney.

That when we grow up, we have to find Mr. Right and marry him for love. And if we don't marry for love, we're shallow, demanding, gold diggers. The real gold diggers are men who sell the myth of romantic love, because they have nothing else to offer. In this episode, we'll map out romantic love to the 4 rungs of the marketing funnel (awareness, consideration, conversion, loyalty) and discuss how love has been used as a recruitment strategy by the patriarchy. __________ 🎙️ About the podcast: The patriarchy is starting to crumble, but sadly it probably won't be fully dismantled in our lifetime.

Too many women are caught up in the Righteousness Olympics, and think they have to be 100% honest all the time. LOL. Imagine playing fair in an unfair, patriarchal world.

That term was coined by journalist Richard Cohen in his misogynistic 1978 article "The Clock Is Ticking For The Career Woman." This article hits the two Ps (pseudoscience and patriarchy) and does what these silly Ps do best: rush women into motherhood and shame them for prioritizing their careers. In the words of Kesha, "Tik tok on the clock but the party don't stop." Because for women, the party truly doesn't stop. That's why humans are one of the only mammals with menopause. In fact, research is finding that MEN have a biological clock, and it begins ticking around age 35.

Female rage has become a ubiquitous topic, but it’s time we discuss how to channel it productively.

Most people think the five love languages are a pop psychology phenomenon. However, they're not rooted in psychology at all. The origins of the five love languages are closer to the Bible than to science, and they were never made as a tool to help women in their relationships. That's because they were created by Baptist preacher Gary Chapman, a man who's trained in Biblical counselling. His background involves no scientific or psychological training. The crazy thing is, that isn't even the most problematic part. I read Chapman's book, The 5 Love Languages, and in this episode I critically dissect his theory from a feminist lens in a way no one's ever done before. I'll discuss: The conservative & misogynistic origins of Biblical counselling How marriage counselling originated as a form of eugenics (& how this agenda found its way into the church)…

Most of us think of gossip as something malicious. However, for centuries, gossip had no negative connotation. A woman's "gossip" were her close friends, and female friendships were a form of social power that gave women's lives fulfillment and security. It all became topsy turvy in the 16th century, when the church combined forces with labour guilds (you'll see what I mean). That's when gossip became demonized into something malicious, aggressive, and bitchy. Because patriarchy and early capitalism needed quiet, subservient women in order to function. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why patriarchy & controlling men are so scared of female friendships The violent history of silencing women How men continue to silence women The role of gossip in human evolution How to reclaim gossip in your life starting today Sources: Gossip in Evolutionary…

Have you ever wondered why every Abrahamic religion treats menstruating women as dirty and spiritually contaminated? That’s because religion took creation – something that’s uniquely feminine – and attributed it to a male god. And because it couldn’t erase the physical evidence of female creation, it warped it into something shameful and impure. In this episode, I roll up my sleeves and answer the questions many of us are afraid to ask. I’ll discuss: How religion began 250,000 years ago as a shamanistic practice with female leaders The catalyst that made religion devolve into a patriarchal institution The neuroscience research showing how religion shuts down parts of our brain How religion & girlhood socialization contain complementary grooming mechanisms The missing piece explaining the paradox that women tend to be more religious than men Whether…

Have you ever wondered why someone ghosted you? I bet you felt pretty crappy afterward, and spent days thinking of something you said or did that pushed the person away.

Society tells us the major “accomplishments” in a woman’s life are getting married and having kids. Both of which are actions that bring people into her life. Unfortunately, most of what’s celebrated in women is about distracting us from our power and finding ourselves in other people. On top of that, there’s so much fear instilled in us: “Who’s going to take care of you when you’re old?” “Your biological clock is ticking!” “Who’s going to protect you?” “You’re happy now but what about when you’re 50 and alone?” There’s only ONE thing guaranteed in your life: your relationship with yourself. So why is it that so many women are terrified of being alone? In this episode we discuss: How patriarchy uses tools like urgency and fear to spook us into dependence and distraction The difference between being single and being sovereign Why fearing being alone…

Fun fact: Feminism is a response to patriarchy. Baddies welcome to my new weekly mini-series, Sunday School, where I share a small lesson from my new book, How to Hack the Patriarchy. This one's from the introduction. Class is in session, and today we're discussing feminism's branding problem. Over the last few years, feminism's reputation has become severely damaged. If you say you're a feminist, get ready to be labelled an angry, man-hating, snowflake. What was once a widely accepted (and vital) social movement has now been reduced to a joke among men and an embarrassment among women. Why did this shift happen? And what can we do to shift this perception and get the show back on the road? Tune into this class to find out. __________ 🎙️ About the podcast: Patriarchal power runs like software.

Every time you tell yourself you're "hoping for the best" or you're "gonna see what happens," you're doing what the patriarchy wants you to do. You're relinquishing control and leaving your fate to what's out there. And let me remind you what's out there: sexism, racism, colourism, homophobia, and many other -isms and -phobias. So by leaving things to chance, you're exposing your future to the worst forces the world has to offer. In this episode, I go into detail on why it's so harmful to leave things to chance, and I'll discuss what we can do to counteract this and reclaim control over our lives & futures. __________ 🎙️ About the podcast: Patriarchal power runs like software.
