Pink Pill Ideology

This week on The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen unpack the rise of Pink Pill Ideology — the hard-lined and seductive spin on "feminism" that ultimately leads women right back into the arms of the patriarchy. But first, in Tea Time, we break down the U.S. airstrikes on Iran and how growing global instability is creating dangerous conditions for women everywhere.

In our main discussion, we examine how alt-right content creators are co-opting feminist language to push regressive ideals, how binary thinking erases important nuance, and why conservative feminism often excludes marginalized voices. If you’ve ever scrolled past a video that sounds empowering but just doesn’t sit right, this episode will help you make sense of it all.

 

🎧 This episode is your reminder: just because it’s pink, doesn’t mean it’s feminist.

 

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

• The Pink Pill to alt-right pipeline and how it traps women
• Conservative feminism and its erasure of marginalized voices
• How binary thinking fuels extremism and apathy
• The unpaid labor of wedding culture and gendered expectations
• Why the patriarchy harms men too but still rewards them for it
• Encouraging critical thinking when consuming online content
