    Why Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Got The Bachelorette Canceled

    From the “soft swinging” scandal that launched it all to leaked domestic violence footage, restraining orders, and The Bachelorette cancellation, Cristen breaks down the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives chaos, what it reveals about our appetite for female dysfunction, relationship abuse as reality TV drama, and whether we've officially hit peak Mormon cultural moment. ~special thank you to Unladies' Room Patreon supporters! this wouldn't exist without you~ Hosted on Acast.

    Have We Reached Peak Baby Pressure?

    Birth rates are down, pronatalism is up, and having two kids isn't enough (allegedly). Cristen unpacks the trio of contradictions defining "real" American womanhood right now: the political pressure to procreate, fake science masquerading as chivalry, and "zero trimester" influencers monetizing fertility anxiety. Plus: medication abortion in the courts, maternal regret in The Cut, and seeking comfort in adult cradles.  ~special thank you to Unladies' Room Patreon supporters! this wouldn't exist without you~ Hosted on Acast.

    Transvestigation Nation

    What do toned arms, “wonky” eyes, and collar bone angles prove about your gender? Nothing. Nevertheless, the digital phrenology of transvestigation persisted. But how?? Digital culture researcher Lexi Webster decodes the conspiracy genre where all celebrities (and most First Ladies) are “secretly trans” and skull-measuring pseudoscience rules, then political scholar Fran Amery connects transvestigation brainrot to very real organized transphobia, uniting feminist factions with the far right in the name of protecting women.  Originally aired on Conspiracy, She Wrote in September 2024. ~special thank you to Unladies' Room Patreon supporters! this wouldn't exist without you~ Hosted on Acast.

    It’s not Hysteria! from Dr. Karen Tang and The Second Opinion

    Sharing a special episode this week from Dr. Sharon Malone. On Dr. Sharon’s new podcast, The Second Opinion, women take back the conversation on health with straight talk, real experience, and the care we all deserve. You’ll hear prominent female advocates, experts and patients just like you sharing how they confronted gaps in our healthcare system and got second opinions that saved their lives. Alongside each guest, Dr. Sharon tackles the questions and topics we’ve been conditioned to ignore — the ones we search for at 3 a.m. but never bring up at the doctor’s office. From dismissed symptoms to systemic failures, she pulls back the curtain on what’s really going on in women’s health and gives women the tools to advocate for themselves and each other. In this episode, Dr. Sharon talks to Board Certified Ob/GYN and Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeon, Dr. Karen Tang. The two unpack the evolution of Obstetrics Gynecology, the different OB-GYN subspecialties, and surgical options for reproductive health. Plus, Dr. Tang shares experiences patients may have on the surgical table and why you may want to choose a minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic conditions.  Find more episodes of The Second Opinion with Dr. Sharon Malone at https://link.mgln.ai/unladylike Hosted on Acast.

    Selling the Tradwife Dream (and So Many Supplements) with Jo Piazza

    Bestselling author Jo Piazza (Under the Influence) and Cristen don their milkmaid dresses to talk tradwives, elusive tradhusbands and the hustle. From homeschooling curriculum to MAHA-approved supplements, tradwife influencers are serving up a fantasy of submission—and becoming breadwinners while they’re at it. Jo unpacks why it's so lucrative, the research behind her new tradwife thriller Everyone Is Lying to You, the pink-pilled pipeline pulling women rightward, and the prairie-core dream versus generational wealth realities. **For ad-free bonus episodes and uncut guest interviews, join the Unladies Room Patreon.

    Is wellness the new purity culture? In part 2 of Gender War Games, host Cristen Conger and Cadence Dubus (@brooklynstrength), founder of Brooklyn Strength Virtual Fitness and Wellness Studio, breaks down how body control, aesthetic discipline, and "clean" femininity are being sold as self-care—while reinforcing the same old patriarchal power structures.
