Misogyny isn’t just something “other people” do. In this conversation, Becky and Taina unpack the invisible ways it shows up in our language, our friendships, our relationships, and even inside ourselves.


From judging women for wearing too much makeup to men who call women “females,” we explore the sneaky red flags we’ve normalized. And we get real about the internalized misogyny we all carry, even as feminists.

We also talk about gay male culture borrowing from Black women, the emotional labor of womanhood, and why calling women “crazy” is more dangerous than it sounds. This episode is a gut-check for anyone raised inside patriarchal systems (so, all of us).

If you’ve ever wondered “Am I being too hard on other women?” or “Why do I feel unsafe in rooms full of women who all look alike?”—this one’s for you.

Here's Becky's Thread that prompted this episode

Discussed in This Episode:

  • What misogyny really is—and how it shows up beyond violence or hate
  • The difference between external and internalized misogyny
  • Everyday red flags in men’s behavior (even the “nice guys”)
  • The harm of calling women “females” and judging women’s choices
  • Why internalized misogyny makes us distrust or judge other women
  • How queer spaces can reinforce misogyny—especially toward trans women
  • Gay male culture and the unacknowledged borrowing from Black women
  • The emotional and invisible labor women carry in families and work
  • How grief, caretaking, and people-pleasing are gendered expectations
  • Why it’s not “misandry” when women resist patriarchy
  • Judging aesthetics like pink or plastic surgery as a feminist
  • Why “all his exes are crazy” is a major red flag
  • How internalized misogyny shapes what art, comedy, and leadership we value
  • Building feminist friendships and communities that aren’t copy-paste
  • What it really means to divest from patriarchy without hating femininity
