Show Notes
It’s Katie’s birthday, and her best friend is joining us for the episode—who also happens to be Jay’s twin sister. The result is laughs, tangents, sibling stories, and unfiltered conversation.
This episode we are asking questions. Do women actually talk more than men, or is that just another persistent stereotype? Are women’s medical procedures reimbursed at lower rates than comparable procedures for men? And why do women often pay more? From prescription medications and car insurance to pink tariffs and other gender-based price disparities?
Along the way, we catch ourselves uncovering yet another example of internalized sexism in real time, proving that even when you spend your time examining gender inequality, it still has a way of sneaking up on you.

In this two-part series, we sit down with Taylor and Jayden from Harbor House to unpack the realities of domestic violence, from financial and spiritual abuse to coercive control and the warning signs that often appear before lethal force or before physical violence begins. We explore the statistics every woman should know, the Power and Control Wheel, why certain groups face greater risks, and how to recognize abuse when you’re not even sure your relationship qualifies.

*Correction: In this episode, I mention the Cornell 7 and incorrectly claim that two were suspended when they were actually expelled. The other five had to attend workshops and/or write essays. In this episode of PinkpillRx, we explore the medical gaze, why so many structures of female reproductive anatomy are named after male physicians and we also examine the fascinating case of the rete ovarii, a structure known since the 19th century that was largely dismissed as a vestigial remnant and eventually disappeared from many anatomy textbooks. From the medical gaze to anatomical eponyms, from the history of gynecology to the rediscovery of overlooked biology, this episode asks the question: Who gets to decide what is worth studying, naming, remembering, and believing about women’s bodies?

In this episode, we actually have a good news segment before we dive into the history of rape and sexual assault—how it was traditionally defined and viewed, who the laws protected and what you can thank a feminist for. We also share several follower stories about abuse, rape and coercion. This isn’t a light episode, so trigger warning if these topics feel too heavy to hear.

In this episode, we look at the rules that have been imposed on women and then disguised as nature, morality, religion, or social order. From unpaid domestic labor and the expectation that women should tolerate pain, to the persecution of women who stepped outside prescribed roles. Who really benefits when women’s labor or limitations are treated as “natural”?
