In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign welcome special guest BurbnBougie for a clear eyed conversation about the future of women’s rights and whether they are built to endure. Through the lens of Gen Z culture, shifting political divides between young men and women, declining birth rates, and emerging social trends, the discussion explores how younger generations are reshaping power, labor, relationships, and resistance. Together, they examine how trad wife culture, child free choices, financial independence, and feminist infighting reflect deeper anxieties about gender roles and control. The conversation also unpacks how purity tests within feminism can become divisive, why opting out of traditional life paths is becoming more common, and what it actually takes for women to remain protected, autonomous, and unbothered in an increasingly hostile cultural climate. But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign react to the debate between journalist Ana Kasparian and right wing anti feminist influencer Hannah Pearl Davis, a viral video of a man promising his friend’s ex wife the “soft life,” an SNL joke equating women’s genitalia to a Demogorgon, a disturbing study on male attitudes toward child sexual abuse, and comedian Ryan Davis’ comments about his young daughter being a “gold digger.” Later, in Tea Or Trash, the hosts break down feminist trends to decide which are actually serving women and which should be left behind. 🎧 This episode cuts through culture war noise to ask a serious question. As politics shift and gender divides deepen, are women’s rights secure, or are we being asked to give them back quietly? 🎙️ Topics Discussed: Gen Z gender politics and the growing divide between young men and women Declining birth rates and women opting out of traditional life paths Trad wife culture and the long term risks for women Feminist purity tests and internal division Financial independence as protection and power Media misogyny and cultural backlash against women ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Anti Feminist Wrecked In Debate https://www.rawstory.com/i-could-body-you-right-wing-influencer-melts-down-after-embarrassing-debate-gaffe/ Millions of men ‘would sexually abuse children if secrecy was assured’ https://www.thetimes.com/uk/law/article/millions-of-men-would-sexually-abuse-children-if-secrecy-was-sure-ncf9lx5v7?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqePPS1QG1njYPl4XjNTj3B9WLV_mHC5cbcsc6uwV8L8nbRmq5fT9t1bsVhKcLE%3D&gaa_ts=696fd01a&gaa_sig=_wBWaCxlZnZ6-v8wbquc74mT67wjXaiTwRBwPnUVS1JmlI3demsk7twN-dG-tG3nf0UCv-X0LjUzgNi05TsbAw%3D%3D Ryan Davis’ former partner replies after he called their 10 year old daughter a ‘Gold digger’ https://face2faceafrica.com/article/ryan-davis-former-partner-replies-after-he-called-their-10-year-old-daughter-a-gold-digger Gen Z Don’t Want To Have Kids https://www.cbsnews.com/news/millennials-gen-z-childless-money-finances-massmutual/ Young men and women are taking the gender gap to staggering new levels https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/young-men-women-are-taking-poll-gender-gap-staggering-new-levels-rcna202672 ‘Lying flat’ Why some Chinese are putting work second https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60353916 📚 This Week’s Recommendation: Follow BurbnBougie https://www.youtube.com/@BurbNBougie Check Out Lisa’s Free Blog About This Episode https://www.patreon.com/collection/960341 💌 Join the Conversation: Got questions or wild stories to share?
