    Hidden in Plain Sight: A History of Lesbianism | Lesson 016

    If women who loved women have always existed, why is their history so much harder to find? In this Pride Month special, we're exploring the stories of women who loved women across history and around the world. From Ancient Greece and the poetry of Sappho to the Golden Orchid Societies of Southern China, Anne Lister's coded diaries, Boston Marriages, and the literary salons of Paris, we'll uncover how women built relationships and communities long before the modern label "lesbian" existed. Then we'll turn to the United States to examine the women who helped shape LGBTQ+ history, including the Daughters of Bilitis, Stormé DeLarverie, the Lavender Menace, Audre Lorde, lesbian caregivers during the AIDS crisis, and activists Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon. Because lesbian history isn't just a history of love. It's a history of visibility, activism, community building, and showing up for one another. Topics discussed: Sappho and the origins of "lesbian" and "sapphic"Golden Orchid SocietiesAnne Lister and her coded diariesBoston MarriagesParisian lesbian cultureDaughters of BilitisStonewall and Stormé DeLarverieThe Lavender MenaceAudre LordeLesbians during the AIDS crisisDel Martin & Phyllis Lyon 🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month.

    "What Are You?" The Sexualization and Desexualization of Asian People (An Office Hours Special)

    In this Office Hours episode for AAPI Heritage Month, we’re unpacking the sexualization and desexualization of Asian people, from the stereotype of the “submissive Asian woman” to why Asian men have historically been portrayed as less desirable in Western culture. We discuss where these stereotypes came from, how media and history shaped them, the impact of fetishization in dating culture, Filipino taxi dance halls in 1920s California, interracial dating panic, K-pop, anime, and why attraction is never socially neutral.

    Who Decides Gender Roles and Social Expectations? | A Study Break Special

    Why are boys told not to cry? Why are women expected to be nurturing? And who decides what masculinity and femininity are supposed to look like in the first place? In this Study Break episode, Cin and Asa unpack gender roles, social expectations, beauty standards, emotional expression, and the pressure people feel to perform masculinity and femininity in everyday life. This conversation explores how many of the “rules” around gender are socially learned, reinforced through culture, and rarely questioned until adulthood. A Broad Sex Education is an inclusive sex education podcast covering gender, sexuality, relationships, communication, and culture in a way that actually makes sense. 💌 Have a question?

    Lesson 015: Why Does Non-Consent Feel Normalized? Why Survivors Don’t Come Forward & How We Prevent Sexual Violence (Part 2)

    If sexual violence is so common, why are so many survivors afraid to come forward? In Part 2 of this series, Cin, Asa, and Brooklyn examine the systems, trauma responses, institutional failures, and social conditioning that make rape and sexual assault some of the most underreported and difficult crimes to prosecute. Through sociology, personal experience, legal frameworks, prevention strategies, and cultural analysis, this lesson explores what survivors are forced to navigate after assault and why prevention requires more than simply condemning rape. In this lesson, we discuss: Why survivors often don’t report sexual assaultTrauma, memory, shame, and fear of retaliationWhy rape and sexual assault cases are difficult to prosecuteRape kits, evidence collection, and institutional failuresThe Violence Against Women Act, Title IX, and California’s “Yes Means Yes” lawThe “Man vs Bear” discussion and women’s safety calculationsThe “Not All Men” conversation and male accountabilityThe mental load women carry to navigate safetyDrink spiking prevention and harm reductionPrevention, intervention, and what men can do to help stop sexual violenceThe social conditioning that sustains rape cultureStatistics surrounding sexual violence and reporting ⚠️ Content Notice: This episode includes discussions of rape, sexual assault, coercion, abuse, misogyny, violence against women, childhood sexual abuse, and trauma.

    Lesson 015: Why Does Non-Consent Feel Normalized? The Impact of Rape Culture (Part 1)

    If consent seems so simple, then why does non-consent feel so normalized? In Part 1 of this two-part series, Cin, Asa, and Brooklyn examine rape culture through sociology, history, media, mythology, power, and social conditioning. From legal definitions and consent education to cultural messaging, misogyny, and modern online communities, this lesson explores how society normalizes harmful behavior and why conversations about consent are often more complicated than they seem. Throughout the episode, we also examines historical depictions of sexual violence in mythology and art to explore how power, pursuit, coercion, and entitlement have been romanticized across centuries. In this lesson, we cover: Consent, coercion, and boundariesLegal definitions of rapeImplied consent and communicationHow rape culture shows up in societyVictim blaming and harmful gender expectationsWhy rape is about power, control, and entitlementThe “myth of the monster” and acquaintance assaultHypermasculinity and misogynistic online spacesThe Gisèle Pelicot case and online rape forumsHistorical depictions of non-consent in mythology and art ⚠️ Content Notice: This episode includes discussions of rape, sexual assault, coercion, abuse, misogyny, violence against women, and childhood sexual abuse.

    Spilling the Tea on Consent: What the Tea Analogy Leaves Out (An Extra Credit Lesson)

    The “Tea and Consent” video is one of the most widely shared explanations of consent. It is simple, clear, and easy to understand. So why doesn’t consent always feel that simple in real life? In this extra credit minisode, Cin and Asa break down the tea analogy and explore what it misses. From power dynamics and social pressure to communication gaps and real-world scenarios, this lesson expands the conversation beyond a simple yes or no. Because consent isn’t just about asking a question. It is about whether someone feels free to answer. In this episode, we discuss: Why the tea analogy works and where it falls shortHow power dynamics impact consentThe difference between clear communication and real-life ambiguityImplied consent, coercion, and social pressureDating culture, entitlement, and transactional expectationsWhy consent is more nuanced than we are often taught This episode includes discussions of consent, coercion, sexual assault, and rape culture. Please take care while listening. 🎓 This is just the beginning. Next lesson, we dive deeper into rape culture and how it shapes our understanding of consent. 📚Resources & Next StepsTea and Consent Video by Blue Seat StudiosConsent for Kids Video by Blue Seat Studios Follow along with this lesson: View the full presentation here 💌 Have a question?

    Lesson 014: Wait...What is Sex? A Beginner's Guide to Understanding Sexual Intercourse

    Most people think they know what sex is. But if you had to define it, could you? In this lesson, we go back to the basics and break down what sex actually means. This episode explores how sex is defined, what happens in your brain during sex, and how the experience can change depending on context, connection, and physical dynamics. We cover the role of key brain regions involved in arousal and pleasure, the difference between dopamine and oxytocin, and how substances like caffeine, alcohol, and weed can impact your experience. We also look at how different positions affect control, stimulation, and connection, and why sex is not one-size-fits-all. This lesson is designed to give you a clearer, more inclusive understanding of sex so you can better understand your own experiences and communicate with others.
