The Wise Jezebels

On today’s episode we celebrate our 30th episode and talk a little bit about where we are at in our personal lives, what we have going on, coming up and give a little announcement!

What do you when your church says abuse and mistreatment is okay? And that it’s not only ok, but it’s God’s design. And what if you’ve identified abuse in your relationship but now notice you’ve had the same experience in your church and maybe even what you’ve been taught about God?  Is any faith community safe for women? Today’s episode explores church-sanctioned domestic abuse and intimate partner violence. We deconstruct that old saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater and find the shades of gray. Popping into Pop Culture covers Naked Attraction and the news about Puff Daddy Combs, and we have lots to say about how to keep your own “fruit” fresh.  Stay fresh, betches!

April is Sexual Assault Awareness month so we thought it was only fitting that we talked about pastors who make “jokes” about sex and how women should respond to men as a wifely obligation. If this sounds familiar to what’s been going around on social media with mega church pastor Josh Howerton, you’re correct! The Wise Jezebels break down how harmful that messaging is (and yes, we look at it in context at his followers request which, spoiler alert: makes it worse!) and how it creates dynamics in a relationship that are often difficult to come back from. We also check in on some pop culture topics and discuss how to address topics surrounding puberty after having grown up in purity culture! Stay fresh betches!

Sometimes, we just don’t have it all together, and that’s what was up for the Wise Jezebels in today’s episode! Laugh along with Tia the space cadet and messy-girl Laura as they talk about their relief in not needing to be perfect and normalizing having off moments…or weeks. We also talk about the “God Bless the USA” Bible, the “Little Pink Pill” and Laura’s experience of having a hot flash while wearing (vegan) leather pants.  Stay fresh, betches!

Girl Interrupted! Do you remember what you were like at 19?  Hey betches! Today’s episode goes back in time to who we were before everything changed at 19, both of us experiencing life-altering relationships at that age and encountering messaging that’s taken years to unpack. We dive into what happened, how we were impacted, and what we’ve learned. If you know what it’s like to be 40 going on 19, you’ll get it! And the clouds of brain fog and confusion part for a peek at the Menopause Minute too.  Do us a favor? If you’re loving the show, will you leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts?

Purity culture is more than abstinence education. But how far does it go? In this episode Laura and Tia widen the lens and explore the impacts of a purity mindset on racism, history, fundamentalism, book bans, current events, and more. We also take a closer look at Ozempic and Oprah, as well as a highly entertaining game of TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE.  Stay fresh, betches!

Women dress modestly to stay safe around men who think that immodest women are asking for it, when in fact, we are in the most danger when we are modest in sexually repressed environments. When Tia shared the comments that stemmed from her reel about pants and fundies with no undies (@tialevingswriter) the Jezzies had to mash the fruit of modest culture and r@pe myths.  Also in this episode: Gwen Shamblin’s son in pop culture and a big segment on perimenopause and medical gaslighting.  Stay fresh, betches!   Resources We Talked About Today: Video from Daniella Mestyanek-Young  “You Are Not Your Own: Rape, Sexual Assault and Consent in Evangelical Christian Dating Books” Article “The Way Down” Docuseries on Gwen Shamblin  Interview with Gwen Shamblin’s son My Alloy - Perimenopause support and Hormone Therapy  Pre-order Tia’s book, A Well-Trained Wife Religious Trauma + Elections Course use code WISEJEZEBELS for $15 off! #waydown #rapeculture #modestyculture #religioustrauma #perimenopause #podcastsforwomen #jezebels #heretics #apostate #gaslighting #medicaltrauma #believeher #thewaydown #gwenshamblin #remnantchurch #purityculture  The views and opinions expressed by the hosts of the Wise Jezebels are their own.

We are finally seeing more information and education on perimenopause but don’t really hear a lot of conversations about the practical implications on relationships. That’s about to change as the Wise Jezebels dive into how perimenopause impacted their relationships, romance, and connections in the past and present.  We also discussing all the pop culture headlines like the Grammys, Taylor Swift, Prince Charles and more!

The Wise Jezebels are talking all things purity culture! From the hilarious things they did–like Laura’s husband journal–to the long term impacts of purity culture. They both acknowledge how much more difficult it’s been to resolve the way purity culture lives in their body than physical acts of sexualized violence and some of what they have engaged in for healing. This episode is light and deep, vulnerable, and hilarious–there’s something for everyone!  We also talk about Taylor Swift and the media outlets who are politicizing her relationship and appearances at his games, do an accountabilibuddy check in, and end with a ‘Menopause Minute’!

The Wise Jezebels are ready to take on a topic they have a lot of thoughts about! Ever wonder why it is that some people develop large platforms overnight–followed by offering coaches, services, and most of all, a path to healing…and why are people so enamored with them? On this episode we discuss the concept of embodied fundamentalism–that is, how fundamentalism lives in our bodies even after religion–and how it shows up in our present day lives and relationships.  We also talk about Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the Iowa Caucus and answer a listener question in preparation for our next Q&A episode.

“To thine own self be true” is from Hamlet. But in our Christian backgrounds, we were taught it was romantic and ideal for a male partner to know us better than we know ourselves. Ditto pastors and any external authority. In today’s episode, we deconstruct the dark side of that dependence and its complementarian roots.

It’s a growing trend now-a-days to take a strong stance on a given topic or issue in order to show where you stand, make sure you’re on the right side of the issue, and letting people know you’re a safe person. Is silence actually complicity? Is speaking out performative? Is the requirement to speak out and pick a side just another form of fundamentalism? We then get into Neandrathal DNA and holiday traditions and end with a conversation on getting back into the dating game when you have children.  Remember to submit us your questions for our December Non-Consensual, Consensual Advice episode!

We’ve come a long way in healthcare for women but what does that really mean? And what about “man colds” and the differences in emotional labor for men and women?
