What If Women Acted Like Men?

1 hour 47 minutes

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign invite listeners into a provocative thought experiment. What if women treated men the way men currently treat women?

By flipping gendered power dynamics on their head, the hosts explore how normalized violence, entitlement, sexual double standards, and media narratives suddenly become absurd when the roles are reversed. The episode exposes how deeply ingrained misogyny shapes public reactions to harm, accountability, sexuality, labor, and autonomy, and why these dynamics remain invisible until women imagine wielding the same social power.

But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign discuss the killing of Alex Pretti by federal ICE agents, marking the second fatal incident involving ICE in three weeks. They also break down growing concerns around TikTok censorship following new U.S. ownership, react to Alex Honnold’s high risk skyscraper climb, and watch a viral moment of instant karma when a man flips off a woman moments before crashing his truck. Later, the hosts open the mailbag to help a listener navigating unexpected sex dream drama.

🎧 This episode uses a thought experiment to reveal the everyday realities women are expected to tolerate, and asks listeners to confront what society excuses, minimizes, or ignores when harm is gendered.

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

Gender role reversal as a tool to expose double standards

How violence against women is normalized and minimized

Media narratives and unequal accountability for harm

Patriarchy and the false sense of purpose it creates for men
