Pinkpill Rx

Sometimes resistance looks like a spider plant, a pair of pants, or a tampon in your purse.

This episode uncovers the feminist history hiding in everyday life—houseplants, bicycles, tampons, and kitchen tables. From Victorian parlors to queer plant havens, we trace how women turned care into rebellion and domestic space into power.

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.

Why do so many men shut down emotionally - and what is the cost of that silence, not just for men, but for the women who love them?

In this episode, we welcome our very first male guest: Owen Marcus. A leader in men’s emotional development and author of Grow Up: A Man’s Guide to Masculine Emotional Intelligence.

We unpack:

-Why emotional shutdown isn’t a flaw—it’s a nervous system survival response

-Tools for men to better express their emotional experiences

-The emotional labor women take on when men can’t express themselves

-What healthy masculinity actually looks like when men feel safe enough to feel

This conversation is not about blaming men—it’s about breaking the cycle.

If you’ve ever loved a man who felt distant, frozen, or “fine” on the surface but unreachable underneath—this one’s for you.

What happens when your most personal data—like period tracking, location, or search history—is no longer private? In this eye-opening conversation, U.S. Congresswoman Sara Jacobs breaks down her proposed legislation, the My Body, My Data Act, and why it matters for everyone in the digital age.

We dive into:

-How your health data is bought, sold, and shared—without your clear consent

-How tech companies and third parties sidestep the spirit of the Fourth Amendment

-Why Congress needs to act before data becomes a tool for surveillance

-What you can do to protect your period/reproductive health information in the meantime

If you’ve ever used a health app (especially a period tracker app), searched a symptom, or relied on digital tools to manage your well-being—this conversation is for you.

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.

In this episode we unpack some of the sneaky ways internalized misogyny shows up—often without us realizing it. From the guilt we feel when we rest, to how we address God, to the subtle rivalries we carry towards other women, we explore how patriarchal conditioning lives in our bodies, beliefs, and behaviors.
