The Quicky

Facebook groups and pages called 'Sis, Is This Your Man?' have been popping up all over the country. The members of these groups apparently trying to prevent others from wasting their time on, in their opinions, narcissists, cheaters and liars. 

The groups are also being used by members to discover if their partners are being unfaithful.

But what are the legal implications of these groups? Can we really put it down to the sisterhood just looking out for each other, or is there something more sinister going on? And what about the men featured in these posts? Are they ruining their reputations?

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the fine line between women seeking to protect themselves and defamation.

She was the princess of pop in the 90's and early 00's, before her life took a turn. You've seen the paparazzi photos of her shaving her head and attacking a car with an umbrella, the shots of her driving erratically with her baby on her lap. 

In the past few years we've seen the #FreeBritney movement, begging for her release from a conservatorship run by her father. And lately, we see videos of her dancing in her home, some people label her unhinged, others say it's a cry for help. 

Today, Britney's memoir, The Woman In Me, drops worldwide and in this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the enigma that is Britney Spears and why her story is one so many of us are desperate to know the truth behind the tabloids.

Australia's Indigenous leaders have now ended their week of silence following the Voice to Parliament referendum. 

And while the nation may have failed to pass the constitutional change, the possibility remains for individual states and territories to take the lead. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at how states and territories are considering their unique approaches to the Voice To Parliament and treaty discussions. This exploration offers a glimpse of the nation's journey forward, following from a decision that has left some of us behind.

There is no argument that the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause can be tough, awful, annoying and downright terrible, but should we be letting the world know about the worst of the worst?

There are studies to suggest that catastrophising the symptoms of menopause could actually be making our experience with this stage of life worse, and silencing an entire cohort of women who don't experience these extremes at all.

The CEO of Jean Hailes talks us through the thought process behind asking us not to dive into the depths of the worst of menopause.

You've probably heard about 'The Mental Load', but have you ever wondered what it really is? And how it can impact your relationship?

While women recognise it, struggle with it and seemingly constantly trying to get others in their lives to even see it, we wonder if men are starting to feel the grasp of what it's been like for women to exist in this constant state of to-do list. 

In this episode of The Quicky we talk to Maggie Dent, host of the new podcast The Good Enough Dad, to break down where we're at with the men in our lives when it comes to the invisible labour we find ourselves thinking about, as well as two men who are working hard to change the narrative. 

If you'd like to see Josh and the Imperfects next year, please find all the details here.
