Episode 37 - Princess Treatment, Roleplaying & Privilege Jun 30, 2025

Show notes

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.

Episode 33 - The 5 Masculinities Jun 02, 2025

Show notes

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.
