In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen expose the dark underbelly of the “Passport Bros” movement, where Western men travel abroad seeking relationships with women in countries that often have less gender equality and opportunity. From exploitation disguised as romance to the illusions of “traditional” femininity, the hosts unpack how patriarchy and colonial fantasies intersect in this disturbing trend. But first, in Tea Time, they celebrate Gwen turning 30, react to a Seaworld mime trolling husbands who won’t carry their wives’ bags, and debate a viral claim that women fought to go 50-50 in relationships. In Feminist Herstory, they spotlight Giulia Tofana, one of history’s most infamous poisoners, and what her story reveals about women’s fight for autonomy in oppressive systems.

🎧 This episode calls out how men flee accountability at home only to recreate cycles of exploitation abroad — and why feminism’s fight against gender inequality is global.

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

• Why “Passport Bros” exploit global power imbalances


• The link between sex tourism and gender inequality


• How men project insecurities and seek control in relationships


• Why financial independence is crucial for women everywhere


• Feminist Herstory: Giulia Tofana and resistance against patriarchy
