Mamamia Out Loud

Look, there's a lot to unpack today. The episode is late to your ears because we've been observing #climatestrike, we won some sparkly awards last night and it's also Producer Lize's last show. But first...

The Bachelor's finished and the "good girl" won. But what does our reaction to Abbie say about how we view women who aren't afraid to express their sexuality? 

Anti-violence advocates are not the only ones upset about the fact that another inquiry into the Family Court has been announced, when what they've been asking for is urgent change, not more navel-gazing. To add insult to that injury, Pauline Hanson is leading that inquiry, even though her position on the Court is far from impartial.

And, Holly, Mia and Rach discuss everything we love about the most-complained about ad on Australian television.  

RECOMMENDATIONS

Rachel:  The Hills is on Foxtel

Mia: She Said by Jodi Kantor and Meghan Twohey

Holly: Fleishman Is In Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner

Is flirting really allowed in 2019? We ask this question because one of our listeners wrote in with a group therapy about her friend's husband being a tremendous flirt. Which got us thinking: is flirting just plain problematic these days?

Plus, abortion remains technically illegal in NSW. On Saturday, thousands of women marched in Sydney’s Hyde Park to get it removed from the criminal code - Mia and her family were among them. But on Sunday there was an anti-choice rally. And in attendance? Barnaby Joyce and Tony Abbott. So why do these fathers of daughters not trust women?

And Mia is here to explain the Caroline Calloway story that everyone is talking about.

Constance Hall flagged something on her Instagram about bucks' parties that got us thinking. She claims that more often than not, they're used as an opportunity for cheating to happen in relationships, and what happens there is protected by the ‘bro code'. But what about the sister code? 

Plus Taylor Swift is performing at the Melbourne cup this year, but is it problematic to go and watch her if you don’t actually support horse-racing? We’ve got a group therapy that is very of the moment. 

And, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has referred to the children in a Tamil asylum-seeker family facing deportation as "anchor babies" so what does this mean?

RECOMMENDATIONS 

Rach: Reading Bitcoin Billionaires by Ben Mezrich

Holly: Listening to Tabloid: The Ivanka Trump story on Luminary and watching Backtrack Boys on SBS on Sunday night at 8.30pm.

Holly read an article about something called the No-Fap Movement over the weekend. So she decided to put her Sherlock Holmes hat on and investigate why women are joining this predominantly-male group and explain what fapping actually is. (Hint, it’s not suitable for work).

And, in news that might make you feel old, When Harry Met Sally turns 30 this year. It's the movie to blame for the trope of 'High-Maintenance' woman, and we're asking: Is that really an insult? 

Plus, Scarlett Johansson has stuck up for Woody Allen, and it’s been revealed that Gwyneth Paltrow helped two Pulitzer-prize-winning journalists break the Harvey Weinstein story. So what else is happening in #MeToo news this week?

Can you learn how to be charismatic? Jessie thinks you can in three easy steps but Holly and Mia don’t think it’s that simple.

Plus if you’re confused as to why UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has fired 21 people and is calling for an election before the end of October, Holly is making a comeback with our favourite analogy, the Brexit sh*t skirt. Even though this time it's actually pants.

And, Brad Pitt and Renee Zellwegger have both had relaunches this week thanks to interviews with fancy magazines. But how do they differ and should we even care anymore?

And of course the Friday recommendations….

Recommendations

There's a lot of stuff going on this week for women... Leigh Sales was hosting a black-tie dinner when the man introducing her tried to kiss her on the lips. Influencer Nadia Bartel's marriage broke down because her husband allegedly cheated on her but somehow she got the blame for it. And the University in Sydney decided to lower it's entrance marks for women so there can be more females in engineering. It seemed like the perfect time to do an episode about sexism because there's a lot of sexist stuff happening right now.

We hope you enjoy.

It's Friday and Mia wants to talk about Taylor Swift's new album Lover. But this time Jessie's going to let her because it's not just an excuse for Mia to sing.  There are some big questions that need answering, like whether we should like Taylor because she's 'safe' for kids as opposed to someone like Miley Cyrus. 

Plus, does your relationship have a third leg? Well, it needs one if you want to remain stable and strong. Jessie explains why. 

And when you're stressed do you tend to internalise it? Even stew on it? Well, chances are you have quiet stress. And that friends, is bad. But we have some solutions for how you can deal with it.

Jessie: Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens https://bit.ly/2L3TPKc 

Mia: Our latest podcast Social Squad hosted by Tully Smyth https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/social-squad/id1476996782

The G7 Summit was held in France this week, where world leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the United States met to discuss everything from climate change to gender equality. But perhaps the biggest thing to come out of the G7 is the fact that the world is now shipping Melania Trump and Justin Trudeau!  But why?

Plus, the Amazon rainforest is burning, kids are skipping school to protest climate change and climate anxiety is very real. But shouldn’t we be focused on things people are doing to fix the problem instead of dwelling on the bad? 

And if you eat lunch at your desk every day, we’ve got bad news for you.

CGI influencers are taking over Instagram, and making serious money from it. So who is pocketing all that cash? And how does it align with the trend toward authenticity when these ‘people’ are about as inauthentic as it gets?  We’ve got all the pictures in our Mamamia Outlouders Facebook group so make sure you’ve joined to check them out… https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/

Plus, do you find it hard to keep the friendship flame alive when your peers are at different stages in their lives? Hol, Rach and Jessie talk about how to maintain friendships as your lives change and when to know when to let people go.

And an Outlouder wrote in asking for advice on how to handle finding themselves suddenly single a 32 and Rach has a lot of feels!

We're jumping into your ears today to talk about the NSW Abortion Bill. 

The debate has been hijacked over the past two weeks so here at Mamamia Out Loud, we wanted to share the pro-choice side, and why it's so important that if you believe in abortion being decriminalised, you rally around your local MPs. 

To share use the hashtags: #ProChoiceNSW #VoteForProChoiceNSW #GetItDone
