Two election wins over the weekend showed us two very different versions of politician's personal and family lives. Holly tells us about Jacinda Ardern’s landslide victory in New Zealand, the re-election of the ACT's Andrew Barr and Gladys's grim declaration about love. 
Plus, Nipple Equality: Two Australian influencers have called out Instagram for a double standard when it comes to women baring breast on social media.  
And, Leigh Campbell shares her wisdom when it comes to facials and answers the question many have wondered, "are they really worth it?"

Already, 26 Australian women have been killed this year by men close to them. And while our Federal Government plans to “end gender-based violence in one generation”, we have decided enough is enough. 
Mia is back for round two, to debate whether Arj Barker should have kicked a breastfeeding mother out of his comedy show. But now that we've heard from both sides (a lot... maybe too much), has Jessie changed her stance?
And, why Elon Musk has started beef with Australian politician Jacqui Lambie? We explain and let's be honest... this was certainly not on our 2024 bingo card!

It might be Monday... but everyone is still talking about Taylor Swift's new double album The Tortured Poets Department. But is it time for Taylor to stop being petty to those who've crossed her? We can't agree. 
Plus, a debate about pepper spray and whether or not laws should be changed to better arm women against male violence. It’s complicated. 
And, Victoria Beckham is a big birthday girlie. She's just celebrated the big five zero, but the way she’s celebrating delivers a universal truth about women and milestone birthdays and we have thoughts.

Read: Kim Kardashian is seemingly slammed in Taylor Swift's new album. Their fight escalated well before this.
Read: A Melbourne mum took her baby to Arj Barker's show when he asked her to leave.

Taylor Swift & The Birthday Card Relationship Test

Subscribe to Mamamia
It’s been a rollercoaster week for Australian women with an outcry about our safety after the Westfield Bondi Junction tragedy was paired with the relief after the long-awaited verdict, the Bruce Lehrmann defamation case. We unpack.
Plus, is it hot in here? Why so many women are deep in romantasy novels involving faeries (yep... that's how the books are spelling it) and some very sexy scenes. Claire Murphy shares a sultry taste of what you're missing out on.
And, Em Ratajkowski is empowering women to change the narrative of divorce, by turning their engagement rings into a new piece of jewellery. So who does the jewellery "belongs to" and what other women have done post divorce?
The End Bits: 

Listen to the latest episode: Honestly, The Times We've Considered Leaving The Podcast
Read: 35 women on what they did with their rings after their divorce.
Read: ‘I just read Fourth Wing and now I understand why everyone is obsessed.’
Read: 'I was in a reading slump. One author turned it all around.'

Read: Justice Lee finds Bruce Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins.

Yes, We're Reading 'Fairy Smut' Out Loud

Subscribe to Mamamia
Australians are grieving the unthinkable acts that took place at Westfield Bondi Junction over the weekend. We discuss why this feels so close to home for so many of us. 
Plus, the verdict's in for Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case. But what's really at the heart of today's news is the ongoing pursuit of justice for Lisa Wilkinson and Brittany Higgins.
And, on a lighter note, Clare Stephens has gone deep into the chaotic rebranding of former Dance Moms star Jojo Siwa, or rather the "CFO of gay pop". Confused? Don't worry we'll fill you in.
The End Bits: 

Listen to last week's episode: The Best Career Advice We’ve Ever Received
Read Mia's article: This feels very, very close. Because it is.
Read: So this was an attack on women.
