The Audaci-Tea

Are “Girls’ Girls” Extinct?


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack the cultural shift around the term “girl’s girl”. Once a symbol of loyalty and sisterhood, now sometimes used as an insult. They explore what happened to “girl code,” how patriarchy and social media pit women against each other, and what real female solidarity looks like in 2025.

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the viral TikTok “EBT Lady” on SNAP benefits expiring, the backlash to Megan Thee Stallion’s new single “Lover Girl,” and Jameela Jamil’s viral claim that studios are “dumbing down” TV shows for distracted scrollers. Later, they play a Patreon-voted round of “Therapy or the Void?” featuring the characters of Friends.

 

🎧 This episode asks the question: Have women stopped having each other’s backs or are we just redefining what it means to be a girl’s girl?

 

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

  • How “girl’s girl” went from compliment to insult
  • The online policing of women and performative feminism
  • Megan Thee Stallion as a modern “girl’s girl” icon
  • How patriarchy thrives by dividing women
  • The importance of solidarity over competition
  • Why confidence and self-love are the ultimate rebellion
  •
