In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign tackle a question many women are increasingly asking in modern dating and relationships:

How do you find out if a man actually respects women?

Together, they break down the subtle behaviors, coded language, and red flags that often reveal underlying misogynistic beliefs long before they become obvious. From dating apps and first dates to long term relationships, they unpack the difference between performative progressivism and genuine respect, and why many women are learning to pay closer attention to actions instead of words.

They explore how misogynistic attitudes often hide behind seemingly harmless phrases, why some men adapt their language to avoid being exposed, and how conversations around gender, relationships, and autonomy can reveal much more than people realize.

But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign react to a viral video highlighting the growing affordability crisis in America, discuss Elsie Hewitt opening up after her split from Pete Davidson, and react to a video of men standing in line for fast food because "no women will cook for them."

Later, they open the mailbag to hear from a 21 year old listener questioning whether healthy and equal relationships actually exist after dating an Andrew Tate supporter.

🎧 This episode breaks down the difference between genuine respect and hidden misogyny, and why asking the right questions can save women from a lot of future pain.
