Nice Guys (feat. Regan of F The Nice Guy)

This Week on The Audaci-Tea Podcast, Lisa and Sovereign are joined by special guest Regan, host of the F The Nice Guy podcast, for a deep dive into the so called “Nice Guy” archetype for a discussion on how it shows up, why it’s problematic, and how it can be dangerous for women.

But first, in our Tea Time segment, Lisa and Sovereign talk about the “Hands Off” protests, economic tensions from Trump era tariffs, rage baiters getting their comeuppance, and more.

In the main discussion, Regan unpacks the myth of the “friend zone,” women’s emotional intelligence, how societal pressures shape women’s experiences, and the unspoken expectations often hiding behind “nice” behavior from men.

Finally, in our Feminist Herstory segment, we shine a spotlight on NASA’s “Hidden Figures” - Katherine Goble Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson, whose groundbreaking work during the Space Race remained unrecognized for decades.

 

🎧 This episode exposes the hidden dangers behind so-called “Nice Guys,” unpacking how their entitlement and unspoken expectations can harm women.

 

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

• The “friend zone” is a construct rooted in male entitlement.
• So-called "Nice Guys" often use kindness as a tool for manipulation.

• Women’s intuition is a crucial safety tool, especially in relationships.
• The contributions of Black women in history are frequently overlooked.
