Sage Takes Thyme

The manosphere turns male loneliness and the pressures of patriarchy into resentment towards women, fueling a gender war that reinforces existing power structures rather than challenging them. In this episode, we explore the rise of incel culture and the roles of capitalism, evangelical fundamentalism, and white supremacy in shaping these ideologies. How do we hold space for men's struggles without excusing misogyny or shifting the burden onto women? What would collective liberation look like beyond a world defined by gendered hierarchies and oppression?Is matriarchy the answer?

New segment unlocked: welcome to SAGE BAITING!We give our hosts a blind topic and absolutely no time to prepare. They have 20 minutes and one rule: keep talking until the time runs out. No one knows where the conversation will take us, so tune in and let’s find out together. For our first SAGE BAITING episode, our blind topic is “Pick Me.” Our hosts unpack what pick me behavior actually means, where the line between being yourself and seeking male validation starts to blur, and how it can affect female friendships. And, of course, they had to ask: are there male “Pick Mes” too? Turn on notifications for a new episode every week. Hosted by Elissa Freiha (@freiha) and Amira Salah-Ahmed (@amiralx)Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sage-takes-thyme/id1765472572 Follow Sage Takes Thyme:- IG: https://www.instagram.com/sagetakesthyme/- Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sagetakesthymeFollow Womena everywhere: - Subscribe to YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/womena ) - Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/womenaco ) - Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/womena )- Tiktok (https://www.tiktok.com/@womena) - LinkedIn ( https://www.linkedin.com/company/womenaco ) - Find out more (https://womena.com/ ) - Subscribe to our monthly newsletter: https://subscribepage.io/Womena-Collective Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We reflect on what it means to be creative beyond the algorithm, and how making space for play and imperfect hobbies, embracing self expression, and finding inspiration offline can help us reconnect with our authentic selves.We also share how our forms of expression and professional personas have evolved over the years, and what it means to rebrand ourselves as we grow into new versions of who we are.Turn on notifications for a new episode every week! 🔔 Hosted by Elissa Freiha (@freiha) and Amira Salah-Ahmed (@amiralx) Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sage-takes-thyme/id1765472572   Follow Sage Takes Thyme:- IG: https://www.instagram.com/sagetakesthyme/ - Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sagetakesthyme Follow Womena everywhere: - Subscribe to YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/womena ) - Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/womenaco  ) - Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/womena )- Tiktok (https://www.tiktok.com/@womena) - LinkedIn ( https://www.linkedin.com/company/womenaco  ) - Find out more (https://womena.com/ ) - Subscribe to our monthly newsletter: https://subscribepage.io/Womena-Collective Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
