Mamamia Out Loud

Is having your father walk you down the aisle outdated? Why do we call makeup-free celebs "brave"? A dating expert has written a guide on how men can interrupt women with headphones in order to crack onto them. What's going on with the same-sex marriage plebiscite? And Ask Bossy has advice for a racist. Plus, remember when Book Week was all about the books? HA. HAHAHAHAHA. No, seriously. In a week of blackfaced kids dressed up as sports stars, we ask: are the librarians out there OK?

This week, the furniture is shifting on Mamamia Out Loud. It could be the very heated debate that flares around Mia's opinion on nude selfies. It could be the warmth rising from the red faces about the celebrity names we've been saying incorrectly all these years. It could be the fury around the Salim Mehajer video that the nation is obsessed with this week. Or it could be a wave of relief at us finally finding a parenting book that validates our laziness. As ever, it's three women talking about absolutely everything. 

And a warning, this week's episode does deal with adult themes.

The kids birthday cake that blew up Facebook.  Dad Bod's are so hot right now that even Bonds have made it into an ad. When athletes say they "choked". The curious case of Caster Semenya.  Can you complete the Michelle Bridges mental challenge? Hillary Clinton may have a podcast, but does she need to wake up earlier? Pregnancy Loss Awareness Week is bringing women together, and Ask Bossy has advice for a woman whose thinking about proposing to her boyfriend. Oh, and we can't stop playing Poodle or Wolf. It's the game that keeps on giving. Woof.

The census was a shemozzle. But among the outcry, won't someone think of the statisticians? Women athletes rule the Olympics, but the good-looking ones rule more. Is it ok to objectify male Olympians or is it a double standard? Are you a wolf or a poodle? It's the perfect way to categorise your life.  Ask Bossy has some real talk for anyone stuck in a job they hate. And Mia wants to know the big question from the US election: Who is Oprah voting for?

Hillary Clinton could soon be president. We're outnumbering the male athletes at the Olympics, and even our Bec Judd is saying no to random kisses from her colleagues. Plus, men are baking cakes and telling us about it, and Andy Lee (from Hamish and Andy) is single again. It's never been a better time to be a woman.

Why do so many smart women love watching The Bachelor? You might have heard of the glass ceiling but what about the glass cliff? And would you hire a stranger to listen to you talk for half an hour? Plus, why "show me the receipts" is the catchphrase you need in your life, and why we will all be drinking Cockroach milk in the future. Forget Gender reveal cakes at kids birthday parties..Monique has a better idea. And Ask Bossy has advice for when you hate your friends 5 year old.

We unpack the Sonia Kruger racism debate and wonder: what does free speech entail, exactly? And why do celebrity opinions make the news?  What is “cultural appropriation” and does it mean we all need to stop wearing bindi’s and kimonos? The pressure on women to have a "natural" birth is absurd. The emoji change that's well overdue, the cult of fitness, the sperm of Mick Jagger, the joy of a sultana cake, and why you should go and see Tarzan and Ghostbusters this weekend.
