Ep 8: The Audacity (of Men)

Men really do have some nerve. In this episode, we’re talking about the audacity of men and the way so many of them move through the world like they’re entitled to our time, our space, our energy, and sometimes even our bodies. From the everyday moments that make you stop and think “seriously?” to the bigger patterns we’ve all had to deal with, we dig into the double standards women are tired of navigating.

We get into the mixed signals, emotional laziness, unsolicited opinions, and men who expect everything while offering the bare minimum. It’s the subtle behaviors, the bold moments, and the way women are constantly expected to shrink or compromise while men do the opposite. These experiences are universal for so many women, and we’re naming them out loud.

We share real stories from our lives, how this shows up in dating and daily interactions, and why these patterns hit such a nerve. It’s honest, a little chaotic, occasionally unhinged, and deeply validating in a way that feels like talking with friends who get it.

If you’ve ever had a man explain your own life to you, ignore your “no," or act like your time belongs to him, this episode will feel familiar.
