Last week's political episode uploaded late (surprising but no big deal), this week's isn't here at all. What's up with that?

loved the topic on female led relationships? i’ve always been interested in that relationship dynamics but this isn’t talked about as much in the world. also, i noticed the podcasters talked about how introverted guys are generally better but i just want to say that’s not really true. all my life i’ve always preferred introverted men and i instinctively assumed that extroverts are more arrogant and introverts are more caring, gentle, loving, socially aware and just better dudes. that cannot be further from the truth. the strength of a guy’s character and his values system has absolutely nothing to do with whether he’s quiet or not and whether he’s an introvert or not. introverts are actually more dangerous. extroverts talk a lot so they give away too much information about themselves from the get go - so it’s easy to weed out the insecure, the mansplainers, the LVM, the dumb and the broke. but the introverts - people assume that the quiet ones are smarter or more mysterious so they project qualities onto them that may or may not exist. there are plenty of introverts, men and women that i know that have terrible values systems, but because they always appear so polite and nice and they don’t ramble on and on about themselves, people don’t have that information that they’re shitty people. i know an introverted dude who is always so polite and gentlemanly, but he was cheating on his partner. and i know another introverted girl who was hooking up with random guys who are attached but nobody knew. it’s hard to vet introverts who don’t give out authentic information about themselves.
Agreed, introverted men are very hard to read and scrotes use that against you. Especially those in STEM field also tend to be misogynists with a massive ego.

Can we have more strategy content on the podcast please? I’m thinking perhaps something like how can we weed out shy LVM? Most of the vetting occurs when we assume the men are extroverts and they inadvertently reveal shit about themselves. But there are plenty quiet shy LVM too.
I agree!! Prior to FDS, I was dating a guy for 2 months and alot of the “red flags” I found at the time, I attributed it to him being “sHy” 🤢. Hence I was in the “pursuer” role. I found the book “He’s just not that into you” really helpful and realized that he did a lot of things that showed his lack of interest and care for me.
@Runner_Woman Same! I was hitting up a "shy" guy and he was actually just taking advantage of me. Then I found FDS and pulled back - he disappeared. I found that book too and realized there were red flags everywhere but i was blinded by my own interest in him. He really didn't have to do much because I initiated all the time, and that is why he disappeared so fast when he needed to show effort. Needless to say, he just took what I offered while actively looking around for who he actually wanted.
Does anyone have any advice on keeping Reaux and Lilith apart? I can never tell which one is talking. Which one is from America and which one is from Canada? Their personalities are clearly distinct, but I can't tell which name and voice belongs with which personality.
Lilith has the Canadian accent and her voice is slightly different, it’s a little softer whereas Reaux has a more emphasized voice and to me she sounds like an American (as am I so maybe that’s why I can tell?). I binge listened to them to catch up to episode 25 or so and now I have their voices memorized lol.
Just wanna say that I absolutely love you ladies (especially you Savannah! I think of you as my British sister lol) and the work that you’re doing with this podcast and FPS!!! I wish I could subscribe to a higher Patreon tier, but it’s outta budget for me at the moment so I’m on a lower tier but it’s so worth it. Look forward to getting caught up on todays episode, but I’ve honestly enjoyed them all from the very beginning. I would listen to the shoes on my speaker system while getting ready for work in the morning and on long drives. All of my neighbors in my building are wymyn and I’ve gotten them all hip to FDS since they would ask me what I’m listening to in the morning 🤣🤣🤣.
Today’s episode is one of my favorites (along with Roast-A-Scrote Grab)!! I’m so glad to hear about some of the “old” FDS principles, especially now that I can’t read them back on the Reddit
Same, I really loved the quote they mentioned "You have to say 'no' to make room for yourself to say yes to better opportunities". Most of my life I was the typical doormat & people pleaser (yay female socialization). Largely thanks to FDS and radical feminism, my confidence has grown enough for me to actually have standards where I feel comfortable saying No.
I love the podcasts so far. Can’t recall the British babe’s name, but so far she’s carrying around so many green flags, she could start a St. Patrick’s day parade! 🥰🥰
So true. I liked the way (Reaux or Lilith, I swear I can't tell their voices apart) said she originally had views similar to Tracy in her pickme days (as did I), and that she used to read those types of articles. Grooming of young women is a huge part of the patriarchy and porn. It really highlighted the issue of the need for non "sEx PoZzY" writers in mainstream media. (Whatever mainstream media is nowadays--I think the kids get everything off tiktok--should there be an FDS tiktok channel?)
I think FDS was the first place where I heard "no is a full sentence" in context of romantic relationships. Everywhere else if I searched why I'm not into getting physical with a guy the answer was it was my job to get over it and focus on ways to please him. I'm almost 30 🤦♀️
Loved the comparison on this weeks pod of pickmes and union workers who are on strike. Tracy is so incoherent in her writing and thoughts because she is unable to think like FDS! Hopefully, she’ll come around!
Just no more Elle on the regular pod episodes, please. I could feel the energy was off the moment they introduced her. This is no different than asking for more Gail Dines (yes please) or a discussion on Dworkin (also yes please) — we just don’t like this guest.
I like Elle too. I understand the caution around conservatives but I think it’s important for us to hear other perspectives. She’s never said anything offensive or anything that did not align with FDS principles, so I don’t understand the problem.
Listened to this with my mom who got pregnant with me at 14 to my 21 year old father. This resonated with her so hard and she said every single point was dead on. She is now an avid follower as well! LOVE this content.
I love that this post is here, will it be updated weekly according to the podcast episodes? I hope we can get more and more independent from reddit honestly.

Reaux has a slightly deeper voice

I loved this week’s ep. Boundaries and standards are SO important. I hope Savannah recovers well.
I love the podcast and the content is A+

I have a suggestion for a topic: the over sexualisation of female music artists under the disguise of female empowerment

Yesss please don’t shut up and just take my money!!!

Loved this last week's episode! Y'all are so funny and really articulate your points.

I started in order and then my ADHD kicked in and now I just listen randomly, and some of them 2 or 3x lol. The bonus contents are awesome!
