First Year Celebration and Achievements
00:00:57
Speaker
What's up, queens?
00:00:58
Speaker
Welcome to the Female Dating Strategy Podcast, the meanest female-only podcast on the internet.
00:01:03
Speaker
I'm Ro.
00:01:04
Speaker
I'm Savannah.
00:01:05
Speaker
And I'm Lilith.
00:01:06
Speaker
And it's the end of our first year of podcasting.
00:01:11
Speaker
2021.
00:01:12
Speaker
We did it.
00:01:12
Speaker
We survived.
00:01:13
Speaker
We've only done now 40 or so episodes, but it just feels like we've been doing this for a long time.
00:01:20
Speaker
Yeah, it's actually wild how quickly it's gone.
00:01:23
Speaker
I remember it was around this November last year when like very first pitchy I did and I was like, okay, this is going to be like huge, but I'm ready to do it.
00:01:32
Speaker
And we did it.
00:01:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:33
Speaker
Because I look around other podcasts and a lot of them don't post like 40 episodes in a year.
00:01:39
Speaker
They might do 40 episodes in two years or three years because they spread it out and do like seasons and stuff.
00:01:46
Speaker
So yeah, I'm proud of us that we got to 40 episodes.
00:01:49
Speaker
I'm proud of us.
00:01:50
Speaker
Yeah, we're killing it.
00:01:51
Speaker
And we've picked up a really nice community on our Patreon that we're always talking to via Discord.
00:01:56
Speaker
So much appreciated to everyone who sponsored our Patreon so far and who continues to tune in.
00:02:03
Speaker
I looked at where we are compared to other podcasts who launched this year, and we're actually doing really, really, really well.
00:02:09
Speaker
So...
00:02:10
Speaker
thumbing our nose at the haters.
00:02:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:12
Speaker
The only people who are not doing better than are people who are already celebrities or who already had a platform or were journalists and so on.
00:02:18
Speaker
And so for a bunch of three anonymous women on the internet, we're doing quite well.
00:02:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:22
Speaker
And we don't even have like a video chat or video YouTube or streaming or anything like that.
00:02:28
Speaker
So we're doing really, really well for an audio only
End-of-Year Awards Introduction
00:02:31
Speaker
format.
00:02:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:33
Speaker
And we just launched female political strategy.
00:02:35
Speaker
So check that out as well.
00:02:36
Speaker
So that's also a big undertaking.
00:02:38
Speaker
So, so for three amateurs and now a fourth amateur podcaster, I say we're doing pretty damn good.
00:02:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:47
Speaker
I'm stoked.
00:02:48
Speaker
But enough of this bean flicking.
00:02:49
Speaker
No, I'm kidding.
00:02:54
Speaker
Self masturbatory.
00:02:56
Speaker
Congratulations.
00:02:58
Speaker
Honestly, we're awesome though.
00:03:01
Speaker
Uh,
00:03:04
Speaker
So a few weeks ago, we asked you, the listener, to submit your nominations for...
00:03:12
Speaker
FDS Oscars, FDS end of year show.
00:03:16
Speaker
So we have five categories that we ask you to submit to your nominations for.
00:03:21
Speaker
So this episode, we will go through the nominations and announce the winners of the first FDS end of year show.
00:03:29
Speaker
End of year?
00:03:29
Speaker
I think it should be Oscars.
00:03:30
Speaker
Oscars.
00:03:31
Speaker
FDS.
00:03:31
Speaker
FDS Oscars.
00:03:32
Speaker
The FDS Academy Award.
00:03:34
Speaker
The Academy of FDS.
00:03:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:37
Speaker
I wish we had a theme song.
00:03:39
Speaker
If anybody wants to produce a FDS end of year award theme song, we'd love it.
00:03:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:46
Speaker
So first category is obviously best queen shit moment.
00:03:50
Speaker
We have to celebrate our Queens.
00:03:52
Speaker
Second one is most roastable scrote.
00:03:54
Speaker
That's my most favorite one.
00:03:56
Speaker
Actually, that's the most hilarious one.
00:03:57
Speaker
It has the most comedy gold.
00:03:59
Speaker
There's pick me hall of shame.
00:04:02
Speaker
Um, um,
00:04:03
Speaker
Yeah, like hopefully those sisters can level up someday and join our, you know, illustrious ranks.
00:04:08
Speaker
Highest value man and favorite FDS moment.
00:04:12
Speaker
So that's the five categories.
00:04:13
Speaker
So which one do you want to start with,
Best Queen Shit Moment
00:04:16
Speaker
ladies?
00:04:16
Speaker
So let's start from the top.
00:04:17
Speaker
Let's start with the best queenship moment.
00:04:21
Speaker
So we had a few nominations for this one.
00:04:25
Speaker
The first one was from a Reddit user who just said, Gail Dines!
00:04:30
Speaker
Three exclamation marks.
00:04:32
Speaker
Every single person said Gail Dines.
00:04:34
Speaker
Like, not every person, but most of the submissions were Gail Dines.
00:04:37
Speaker
And I love Gail Dines.
00:04:38
Speaker
I do agree with that.
00:04:39
Speaker
Gail Dines, having her on not once, but twice, was pretty epic, I have to say.
00:04:45
Speaker
Yeah, so I have to say I'm biased in favour of Gail Dines.
00:04:48
Speaker
So I don't know if we're going to do fan favourites or if we're going to vote between the three of us.
00:04:53
Speaker
We haven't even announced the other nominees, but I already vote Gail Dines.
00:04:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:57
Speaker
There was, uh, Ro got a special nomination for blue-balling horny skirts at the club with, first of all, I'm a Christian.
00:05:04
Speaker
First of all, I'm a Christian.
00:05:09
Speaker
Am I nominated?
00:05:11
Speaker
Ro, you got nominated.
00:05:13
Speaker
Guys, I'm so surprised.
00:05:16
Speaker
I'm so overwhelmed with this attention.
00:05:18
Speaker
Do the like, oh my gosh, me?
00:05:20
Speaker
You picked me?
00:05:21
Speaker
Like the hands on your face thing.
00:05:23
Speaker
Wow.
00:05:23
Speaker
Did you pick me?
Most Roastable Scrote Nominations
00:05:25
Speaker
You like me.
00:05:26
Speaker
You really like me.
00:05:27
Speaker
Tell us more about that, Ro.
00:05:28
Speaker
For the queens who are not acquainted with your little scam.
00:05:35
Speaker
For those who didn't listen to that episode, yeah.
00:05:37
Speaker
That was from our casual sex episode.
00:05:39
Speaker
That was when I was still trying to be like, I was still a Christian, but kind of dipping my toes into secular culture.
00:05:45
Speaker
So I would go to, when I was a teenager, I used to go to these teen clubs.
00:05:51
Speaker
They had a couple different ones.
00:05:52
Speaker
It'd be 14 and up, 16 and up, or 18 and up.
00:05:55
Speaker
And they were basically dry clubs, but they're just like nightclubs.
00:05:58
Speaker
You go and you dance, you grind and you make out with cute boys.
00:06:01
Speaker
And so I would go out with my friends and we would dress in our best.
00:06:07
Speaker
I'm trying to remember like the chain store that was popular then.
00:06:09
Speaker
We would dress in our best fast fashion with like body glitter and tube tops and booty shorts and hot pants.
00:06:17
Speaker
You know, the whole nine, the whole millennial nine winged eyeliner, et cetera.
00:06:21
Speaker
And then we'd go and you'd meet cute guys and we'd flirt with them and make out with them.
00:06:26
Speaker
And then if a guy wanted to have sex with me, I would just pull the Christian card.
00:06:29
Speaker
I'd be like, first of all, I don't know what you thought this was.
00:06:33
Speaker
Just because I've been licking your earlobe all night doesn't mean we're fucking.
00:06:36
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:40
Speaker
Yeah, no, and that was successful for me for literally years.
00:06:43
Speaker
It's weird to me that men won't respect your no if you just say no, but they'll respect God.
00:06:49
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:52
Speaker
I feel like I've done this before where if I'm if I'm about to have sex the guy he doesn't want to wear a condom I'll be like I'm actually pro-life I'm actually so real life I'm pro-choice but I'll tell guys I'm pro-life like to be like oh if we got if I got pregnant I would definitely keep it and go after you for child support nothing makes them want to wrap it up faster than that yeah pro tip for ladies pretend to be Christian to get men to respect your boundaries no I'm kidding um
00:07:20
Speaker
You know, should be enough, but let's be real.
00:07:22
Speaker
Most men, the only thing preventing them from being shitty is the fear of God.
00:07:25
Speaker
So there's that.
00:07:29
Speaker
So based on user upvotes, I would say, though, that the winner of the best queenship moment was Gail Dines.
00:07:38
Speaker
Thank you so much, Gail, for your support of the podcast and for coming on.
00:07:41
Speaker
Gail was just, I'd say that's well-deserved.
00:07:43
Speaker
And Ro gets an honorary mention for blueballing men.
00:07:46
Speaker
Also, I just want to mention, too, so Ro is our runner-up, but I do want to mention two other honorable mentions, which was Adele turning her mediocre ex-marriage into an album that's likely to make millions, and Taylor Swift coming out with a 15-minute extended song about her breakup with Jake Gyllenhaal.
00:08:03
Speaker
I always stan our musically talented queens roasting their exes.
00:08:07
Speaker
It's a whole thing, a whole genre that I love, so I just wanted to mention those as we did get those submissions.
00:08:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:13
Speaker
Yeah, Taylor Swift re-recording her album was also a queen moment.
00:08:17
Speaker
To roast a man.
00:08:19
Speaker
Not even just to roast a man, but to prevent Scooter Braun from making money off her old catalog.
00:08:25
Speaker
So the reason why she re-recorded the albums in the first place is because Scooter Braun, I believe, owns her masters on her original albums.
00:08:32
Speaker
And so she doesn't want him to make money.
00:08:33
Speaker
So she re-recorded everything.
00:08:34
Speaker
So queen.
00:08:35
Speaker
Boss.
00:08:36
Speaker
Taylor Swift keeping her well-polished stiletto on the back of the scrote's necks in the music industry.
00:08:43
Speaker
I stan.
00:08:44
Speaker
I stan, yeah.
Roasting Reddit Users and Celebrities
00:08:45
Speaker
So our second category is most roastable scrote.
00:08:48
Speaker
We got a lot of submissions for this one.
00:08:50
Speaker
The field was packed for this one.
00:08:52
Speaker
It's a very crowded field.
00:08:55
Speaker
Top comment, most upvoted is the fucking bed nest guy.
00:08:58
Speaker
Oh my god.
00:08:59
Speaker
Word for word.
00:09:01
Speaker
poop emoji.
00:09:02
Speaker
There was a woman who had never spent the night at her boyfriend's house.
00:09:06
Speaker
And then when she tried to, she figured out he slept in a nest made of his old dirty clothes.
00:09:11
Speaker
No, no, no.
00:09:11
Speaker
Worse.
00:09:12
Speaker
She actually tried to defend him by saying, oh, he says the clothes are all clean, but it smelled bad.
00:09:17
Speaker
So, I mean, I don't know how truthful that is.
00:09:19
Speaker
Yeah, he's a lie.
00:09:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:21
Speaker
clean.
00:09:22
Speaker
He probably did wash it, but he thinks it's clean because he didn't actually wear them.
00:09:26
Speaker
But if he's been sleeping in them, then they're still full of his body sweat and hair and skin particles.
00:09:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:33
Speaker
So yeah, Bednest guy, that's a strong contender.
00:09:37
Speaker
The other one, if we're going by Reddit posts, the slug guy, slug story guy.
00:09:42
Speaker
Those are the two most disgusting Reddit stories, I think, is the slug story and the Bednest guy.
00:09:46
Speaker
The two worst men of Reddit.
00:09:48
Speaker
The slug story was a guy that was literally pulling slugs out of his garden and then putting in his wife's food.
00:09:57
Speaker
Just some passive aggressive weirdo shit.
00:10:00
Speaker
I want to say I have actually, like the Reddit user who posted the original story, I do check in with her Reddit profile from time to time and she's still alive.
00:10:08
Speaker
So I want to say she's still okay.
00:10:10
Speaker
She did not die from the slug story.
00:10:11
Speaker
So I'm happy about that.
00:10:12
Speaker
That's good.
00:10:13
Speaker
I hope she's okay.
00:10:14
Speaker
Yeah, but she did get a parasite apparently.
00:10:16
Speaker
So there's that.
00:10:17
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:10:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:18
Speaker
So we've gone over the Reddit scrotes.
00:10:20
Speaker
Let's go over some celebrity scrotes.
00:10:23
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:23
Speaker
We got Chris Pratt.
00:10:25
Speaker
crisp rat for shading his ex Anna Faris Anna Faris yeah for shading his he basically said he said that he loves his new wife for giving him like a healthy child which is so mean because his ex like Anna Faris has a they have a disabled child together and
00:10:45
Speaker
And I just think that's so fucking callous and like messed up.
00:10:48
Speaker
Like that's just actually mean.
00:10:50
Speaker
Like that's just straight up evil.
00:10:52
Speaker
And the other celebrity scrote is David Portnoy from our David Portnoy episode for basically being like a sexual predator.
00:11:00
Speaker
Yeah, he's disgusting in every conceivable way.
00:11:02
Speaker
We also got two submissions from our Patreon roast to scrotes.
00:11:07
Speaker
One comment reads, the whiskey dick.
00:11:09
Speaker
I'll never forget the crazy wall, the sundress on the damp grass in the 12 different locations and the pathetic sip of Jack Daniels left warm in the house.
00:11:18
Speaker
That was a pretty bad one.
00:11:19
Speaker
Yeah, that was that was an iconic moment.
00:11:21
Speaker
That was like, wasn't that our first roast of scrote?
00:11:23
Speaker
Our very first roast of scrote was, was whiskey dick, right?
00:11:27
Speaker
It was that guy who gave her the warm whiskey and then took her to like 12 different locations.
00:11:32
Speaker
Didn't pay a cent.
00:11:34
Speaker
Negged her the entire time.
00:11:35
Speaker
He was a horrible guy.
00:11:36
Speaker
Yeah, that was a really iconically bad roast of scrote.
00:11:39
Speaker
Like our iconically good, I guess, roast, but an iconically bad scrote.
00:11:43
Speaker
Yeah, that roast was actually our very first roast and it was on the Boomers, Coomers and Consumers episode, one of our most popular episodes to date.
00:11:51
Speaker
So go check out that episode.
00:11:52
Speaker
So yeah, whiskey dick and explosive diarrhea.
00:11:54
Speaker
Yeah, the explosive diarrhea, scrote from the Femsels episode.
00:11:59
Speaker
Let's give them a teaser.
00:12:00
Speaker
The story behind the explosive diarrhea guy was the user who submitted the story.
00:12:05
Speaker
One of her friends had tried to hook her up with a coworker and she goes over his house for the date and he's hung over and basically blew up the bathroom while she was there.
00:12:14
Speaker
So it was just really disgusting all around and he didn't plan it all for the date.
00:12:18
Speaker
It looked pretty gross.
00:12:19
Speaker
So yeah, check that out on our Fem Cells episode.
00:12:22
Speaker
Our episode called Overcoming a Defeatist Mindset, Fem Cells, Wig Towels, Rad Fem Separatists, and Explosive Diarrhea.
00:12:29
Speaker
I would also like to chuck in an honorary mention.
00:12:32
Speaker
I would like to nominate all of Reddit for Scroat of the Year.
Scrotes of the Year Announcement
00:12:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:36
Speaker
No, I agree.
00:12:37
Speaker
I can't even think of any particular stuff, just all of Reddit.
00:12:39
Speaker
Literally every male Redditor.
00:12:41
Speaker
I declare war on every male Redditor, every single one off to the gulags for you.
00:12:49
Speaker
All of you watch porn, you're irredeemable, you troll women, you're misogynistic, you guys deserve to be put in labour camps.
00:12:58
Speaker
Just the number of times, like, a woman will set a basic standard, like, I wish my partner, you know, washed his ass and gave a shit about me, and there'll be some scrote saying, you sound like you're from a female dating strategy.
00:13:13
Speaker
Fuck you guys, you are all scrotes in the air.
00:13:17
Speaker
Fuck the lot of you.
00:13:18
Speaker
Fuck you, just because it's accurate doesn't mean, like, fuck you.
00:13:22
Speaker
Fuck you.
00:13:23
Speaker
It's because of scrotes like them that female dating strategy exists.
00:13:26
Speaker
So once again, thank you, but also fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
00:13:34
Speaker
And it was funny because we did a Twitter space a few days ago where someone asked, oh, don't you think it's hypocritical that you make fun of male Redditors all the time, even though you're women who started on Reddit?
00:13:45
Speaker
And we're like, no, because men on Reddit are... Because we're women.
00:13:48
Speaker
Yeah, because we're women.
00:13:49
Speaker
Like we have no problem differentiating the female population of Reddit from the male population because the female population is on Reddit for like skincare addiction, gardening, crochet, gardening, pictures of puppies, etc.
00:14:03
Speaker
The male population of Reddit is overwhelmingly there for the porn.
00:14:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:08
Speaker
And political grandstanding.
00:14:09
Speaker
To put it into perspective, like, the female dating strategy is often titled as the worst, like, subreddit on Reddit, right?
00:14:15
Speaker
But if you look at the subreddits that, you know, the men like to frequent, like Rose said, the pornography ones...
00:14:23
Speaker
degrading holes.
00:14:25
Speaker
It isn't even just like straight porn.
00:14:27
Speaker
That will be bad enough.
00:14:29
Speaker
But we're talking about things like degrading holes, like dead eyes, just things which basically see women being tortured for the sexual gratification of men.
00:14:38
Speaker
But that's a-okay.
00:14:39
Speaker
You can't compare the two.
00:14:41
Speaker
And yes, you know, at FDS, we aren't ashamed to say that we have double standards, but we have double standards for good reasons because men and women are not, you know, we're not motivated by the same things, generally speaking.
00:14:53
Speaker
Yeah, and men, and there's plenty of women that don't like FDS, but what they don't is, like, send us pictures of their genitalia and curse us out.
00:15:02
Speaker
Or report us.
00:15:04
Speaker
Report us.
00:15:05
Speaker
I got one DM on Reddit that, and this was actually one of the last messages I got on Reddit before I was like, yeah, I'm done with Reddit.
00:15:11
Speaker
Like, some guy sent me a message saying that he wants to kidnap me and put me in a breeding farm to, like, force me to have babies.
00:15:19
Speaker
Um, yeah, I think men on Reddit are irredeemable.
00:15:21
Speaker
They're fucking incels.
00:15:22
Speaker
Even the ones that, even the ones that aren't actively sending shitty DMs to women.
00:15:27
Speaker
Just the fact that, like, when I talk to another male Redditor and I be like, oh, this is a fucked up shit that happens to be on Reddit.
00:15:33
Speaker
They're like, yeah, well, like, women and men experience the internet differently.
00:15:37
Speaker
I'm like, blah, blah, blah.
00:15:37
Speaker
Like, they never condemn those fucking guys, right?
00:15:40
Speaker
Because they are those fucking guys.
00:15:41
Speaker
They just don't want to admit it.
00:15:43
Speaker
Yeah, it's them.
00:15:44
Speaker
It's just them under an alt account.
00:15:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:46
Speaker
They're just pretending that they're good guys to you, but knowing that they're going to log into their alt account and then be calling you all type of fem cell and hoping you get raped and murdered, etc.
00:15:56
Speaker
So, yeah, I mean, the reason why FDS is constantly on lockdown is because of the male population of Reddit.
00:16:02
Speaker
Yeah, we do have female critics, but they're just not anywhere near as hostile and insane.
00:16:09
Speaker
So trying to pretend once again that males and females are the same, they use this tool the same, it's just demonstrably false.
00:16:16
Speaker
And generally speaking,
00:16:17
Speaker
it's a key difference between men and women.
00:16:19
Speaker
You know, when women dislike something, we tend to just avoid it entirely.
00:16:23
Speaker
But when men dislike something, they're not, they don't just avoid it.
00:16:27
Speaker
They actively seek to destroy it, even if destroying it brings them no material benefit.
00:16:32
Speaker
They just get into that destructive mindset.
00:16:34
Speaker
And that's what happens with FDS.
00:16:36
Speaker
A lot of these men, there's no, they don't have any skin in the game.
00:16:39
Speaker
They just want to see FDS destroyed for reasons unknown.
00:16:43
Speaker
And that's why I end every single podcast with Die Mad, because if they bothered to listen to this, despite it demonstrably not really being for them and they're still mad, that's a you problem, isn't it?
00:16:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:52
Speaker
Right?
00:16:53
Speaker
So...
00:16:56
Speaker
But our Reddit rant aside, I do think, though, if we're going off the user winner, the clear winner was the Bednest guy.
00:17:04
Speaker
Yeah, so the fan favourite was Bednest.
00:17:06
Speaker
My favourite is... Actually, no, you know what?
00:17:10
Speaker
Yeah, I think I'm going to go with all of Reddit, to be honest.
00:17:14
Speaker
all of Reddit.
00:17:14
Speaker
Yeah, we literally hate that site with our entire being.
00:17:18
Speaker
And it's one of those sites that has the benefit of being first.
00:17:21
Speaker
We did actually get a lot of really good submissions for roastable scrotes from Reddit in general.
00:17:27
Speaker
And so just to, because we couldn't pick which one is the best, we're just going to choose all of Reddit.
00:17:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:33
Speaker
So next category, pick me Hall of Shame.
Controversial Media Figures
00:17:35
Speaker
The most submitted name was the Do the Patriarchy to Me.
00:17:41
Speaker
What was her name?
00:17:41
Speaker
Tracy Clark Flory?
00:17:42
Speaker
Tracy Clark Flory.
00:17:43
Speaker
Yeah, where do we start with that?
00:17:45
Speaker
We did a whole episode actually roasting her article about, you know, what was it?
00:17:50
Speaker
So the episode's called Jezebel.com Goes Inside Us, and it was roasting an article that she wrote on Jezebel.com.
00:17:57
Speaker
And to be fair, we knew the Jizzies were never going to be our friend because they were partially why...
00:18:02
Speaker
There's such a rebellion against certain aspects of liberal feminism, and they were ground zero for a lot of the ideas that we critique today.
00:18:10
Speaker
She got flamed on our Twitter after she released her book.
00:18:14
Speaker
She was on a book tour for her book called, yeah, Want Me.
00:18:18
Speaker
And it's basically a pick-me handwriting manual, at least from all the excerpts that were released.
00:18:23
Speaker
It was all about how she was just begging guys to want her while pretending to be sexually empowered.
00:18:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:29
Speaker
There was just so much there.
00:18:30
Speaker
And she wrote an original article literally called Do the Patriarchy to Me.
00:18:35
Speaker
And it was really like over-sexualized and weird.
00:18:38
Speaker
And it came across like a very, very porn sick woman who was like trying to in her head reconcile her feminist credentials while her weird porn sickness.
00:18:48
Speaker
Basically re-litigating and rehashing out the same sex wars that have existed for quite some time, but just in a really navel-gazing, narcissistic way.
00:18:58
Speaker
in addition to the gratuitous sex descriptions that just came across very cringe.
00:19:04
Speaker
So then this person decides that she wants to do a critique of female dating strategy.
00:19:10
Speaker
And doing a couple of things like trying to compare us to the red pill, misrepresenting some of our positions, calling us all the phobics.
00:19:19
Speaker
I think she called us neoliberals.
00:19:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:23
Speaker
Saying that we were neoliberals.
00:19:24
Speaker
A lot of cherry pick stuff, a lot of out of context stuff, a lot of stuff that she claimed that we said is that when you look at the full post was the complete opposite.
00:19:31
Speaker
Like she does that thing that like tabloid news articles or just like bad journalism in general do where they take a quote, they take out the part that doesn't fit in the narrative and just put like an ellipsis.
00:19:42
Speaker
So they'll like edit your words, they'll be like the dot dot dot, female dot dot dot, said dot dot dot, you know, like...
00:19:49
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:50
Speaker
Just to try to force it to say whatever they want it to say, even if that's not what the original text says at all.
00:19:56
Speaker
Right.
00:19:56
Speaker
So not even like misinformation, it's actually disinformation.
00:20:00
Speaker
Like they're actively trying to mislead the public or they're actively trying to misread, mislead whoever reads the articles.
00:20:06
Speaker
Because most people, they'll just read an article.
00:20:07
Speaker
They don't go and look at the actual sources.
00:20:10
Speaker
Right.
00:20:11
Speaker
It's just basically propaganda.
00:20:12
Speaker
But the best part about Tracy Clark Flory is that she admitted, and this is like the biggest self-own, she never had an orgasm with any of the men that she was hooking up with until the last one who ended up becoming her husband.
00:20:25
Speaker
Yeah, I feel bad for her because it just feels like she bought hook, line and sinker a lot of the narratives that we now rail against.
00:20:32
Speaker
But I think the difference in why it's so hard for us to kind of sympathize with her is that she continues to do it.
00:20:40
Speaker
That's the thing.
00:20:41
Speaker
Even, even in her mea culpa want me, she doesn't take the time to be like, Oh, maybe, um, I got like brainwashed by porn culture.
00:20:49
Speaker
Didn't take any time to think critically about her own internalized misogyny.
00:20:54
Speaker
She just immediately went to no way.
00:20:57
Speaker
I watch all this fucked up porn because I want to girl boss.
00:21:00
Speaker
Like that kind of thing.
00:21:02
Speaker
Right?
00:21:02
Speaker
Like there's no critical thought.
00:21:04
Speaker
It's just like, some women just have great fantasies.
00:21:06
Speaker
Like is basically her whole shtick.
00:21:09
Speaker
Um,
00:21:10
Speaker
So the fact that even when she admits that she never came from all and that she was lying to us all these years, she's still lying.
00:21:18
Speaker
She's still lying.
00:21:19
Speaker
And we've heard from multiple people who used to write for Jezebel.
00:21:23
Speaker
There's quite a few former writers for Gawker Inc.
00:21:27
Speaker
or Jezebel on female dating strategy that...
00:21:31
Speaker
There is a lot of pressure to write things like that.
00:21:34
Speaker
And so Tracy Clark Flory just comes across like one of the pickings that survived this very male centric or male focused focus on feminism.
00:21:42
Speaker
It's another example of men in media curating feminism so that it doesn't actually have any teeth.
00:21:47
Speaker
There was not a threat to them.
00:21:49
Speaker
Right.
00:21:50
Speaker
And Tracy Clark Flory is like queen pick me of that.
00:21:52
Speaker
We did talk to a Blue Check Cosmo writer in one of our Twitter spaces a few weeks ago.
00:21:57
Speaker
And she actually did say that when you're in the writing room, like there have been times where she'd write something and it just wouldn't get accepted or wouldn't go through because it didn't fit the narrative.
00:22:06
Speaker
Or times where she's been told to write something just because like that's just what the boss wanted to publish, you know.
00:22:12
Speaker
So be aware that these media companies, even if the author is female, they're
00:22:17
Speaker
Be mindful of who our boss is, who the media company is, and who owns those media companies.
00:22:21
Speaker
It's men, right?
00:22:23
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, and it's tough because anybody I would nominate for a biggest pick-me award, yes, it tends to be either conservative media or liberal media, and it's the same thing.
00:22:33
Speaker
Who's that woman from Evie who kept dragging us on FDS?
00:22:37
Speaker
I can't remember her name, but yeah, conservative media tends to just call us fem cells and say like, oh, you'll never get a man that way.
00:22:43
Speaker
Ha ha ha.
00:22:44
Speaker
And this is why men are not getting married because of women like you and all your crazy demand.
00:22:48
Speaker
So conservative pick me is like Lauren Chen.
00:22:52
Speaker
And I can't remember the head of Evie magazine, but Evie is basically like conservative Cosmo.
00:22:57
Speaker
So I feel like for us, the pick-me's that get under our skin are like the media pick-me's, the ones that work for most of these male-centric media conglomerates and then continuously push the pro-porn, anti-FDS message.
00:23:13
Speaker
And with that, completely misrepresenting what we're about.
00:23:16
Speaker
I know we made fun of like a pick-me-neak.
00:23:18
Speaker
I can't even remember her real name now.
00:23:20
Speaker
Dominique.
00:23:20
Speaker
Dominique.
00:23:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:21
Speaker
Dominique something.
00:23:22
Speaker
Dominique Sisley.
00:23:23
Speaker
Dominique Sisley.
00:23:24
Speaker
She wrote for the Vice article.
00:23:26
Speaker
She wrote the Vice article.
00:23:27
Speaker
Erin Taylor as well.
00:23:29
Speaker
Erin Taylor from The Verge.
00:23:31
Speaker
You know, there's a lot of these type of women who I'm like, again, it may not be entirely their fault.
00:23:37
Speaker
They might be.
00:23:38
Speaker
pressure to write articles to with this kind of bent.
00:23:42
Speaker
No, these sorts of women, they want to write these articles and they're just the ones who get picked by the media conglomerates.
00:23:47
Speaker
Like, no, I do see them as like complicit because they they have this narrative and they're the ones who benefit from them, like benefit from patriarchy, like they're being handpicked by
00:24:00
Speaker
patriarchs, basically, by men in charge to write narratives not beneficial to women.
00:24:06
Speaker
Yeah, the latest is Monica Greep from Daily Mail.
00:24:10
Speaker
It's interesting because, yeah, they always all of the criticism has come from female authors and major media publications.
00:24:17
Speaker
And that feels very deliberate.
00:24:18
Speaker
Right.
00:24:19
Speaker
Use a female mouthpiece.
00:24:21
Speaker
It's a psyop.
00:24:22
Speaker
Like Elle said in episode one of female political strategy, she's like, it's the ultimate psyop is get someone who looks like you to say the thing that goes against your interests.
00:24:31
Speaker
Right.
00:24:32
Speaker
Exactly.
00:24:33
Speaker
So there was like Emma Sales.
00:24:34
Speaker
There's there's just been a bunch of women who have been recruited to drag FDS.
00:24:39
Speaker
And listen, I don't expect everyone to agree with everything on FDS, but I just don't like the purposeful false misrepresentation and false equivalency.
00:24:49
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:49
Speaker
To things like two extremists, like real extremist extremist groups that have led to real world violence, like Red Pill, Mikao, Incels, etc.
00:24:58
Speaker
Right.
00:24:58
Speaker
It's entirely an unfair characterization.
00:25:02
Speaker
It just solely exists to create an equivalency between us and the far-right extremist manosphere to basically placate men and make it feel like, well, things that we are talking about is equally outrageous, right?
00:25:16
Speaker
When it's nowhere near the sort.
00:25:17
Speaker
You know, there are people who are not perpetually online.
00:25:20
Speaker
Most normies, they come across FDS and they're just like, well, this is just common sense.
00:25:25
Speaker
Why are these people famous and why are they so hated for...
00:25:27
Speaker
saying common sense, right?
00:25:29
Speaker
It's like, I don't know.
00:25:30
Speaker
I just feel like the people who get most upset about us are the men who just know that they wouldn't make the cut.
00:25:36
Speaker
And the women who get upset about us, I don't know.
00:25:38
Speaker
Like, they just think that they're going to get special pick-me points for pandering to those kinds of low-value men.
00:25:45
Speaker
And I'm just like,
00:25:47
Speaker
Sis.
00:25:47
Speaker
The sad part is like, if you look at, I mean, these women get paid so little at these major publications at that, that you just wonder, like, was it really, really worth it?
00:25:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:55
Speaker
Was it really worth like throwing women as a class under the bus for like, what, $200, $300 as a freelancer to write this article, you know?
00:26:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:04
Speaker
But for them, again, like these sorts of women, they value women so little and they value male breadcrumbs so much.
00:26:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:12
Speaker
That I'm sure in their mind, they're like, yeah, it was worth it.
00:26:13
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, they just, I mean, every office has a culture, and so they probably get caught up in...
00:26:19
Speaker
you know, whatever their editor wants and things.
00:26:21
Speaker
So, yeah.
00:26:23
Speaker
So our, our, our, what's our, who's our, I think queen pick me is still Tracy Clark Flory, but honorable mentions to all of the rest of the female journalists have decided to make FDS their punching bag this year.
00:26:35
Speaker
And also Lauren Chen got a special mention as well.
00:26:38
Speaker
Shasta, I mean, we touched on conservative talking heads, but yeah, she got a special mention as well.
00:26:45
Speaker
Yeah, so I'd say the winner of this category would definitely be Tracy Clark Flory.
00:26:49
Speaker
Strong contender runner-up would be Lauren Chen, and honorable mentions would be Dominique Ceasley, Aaron Taylor, and what was the one of the Daily Fail article?
00:26:59
Speaker
Monica something?
00:27:00
Speaker
Monica Greed.
00:27:01
Speaker
Yeah, cool.
00:27:02
Speaker
There.
00:27:03
Speaker
Those are all the queen pick-me's of this year.

High Value Men Struggles
00:28:07
Speaker
So the next category is the highest value man.
00:28:11
Speaker
I have to read out this comment on Reddit.
00:28:14
Speaker
It just says, it just says error 404, page not found.
00:28:21
Speaker
there's another one they're like for the category highest value man they're like hmm question mark who that who that confused face yeah um but we have had a lot of i guess more informal uh nominations so uh a user shared um an anecdote of pierce brosnan for proudly showing off his gorgeous wife
00:28:47
Speaker
who doesn't meet the sick beauty standards of Hollywood.
00:28:51
Speaker
I do actually find them really, really cute.
00:28:53
Speaker
I love the way he looks at her like she is the best thing he's ever seen.
00:28:58
Speaker
It's really, really, really, really cute.
00:29:02
Speaker
And he gets a lot of flack because she's gained weight over their marriage.
00:29:07
Speaker
But at least outwardly facing, that hasn't changed the way he's looked at her.
00:29:12
Speaker
So I really respect that.
00:29:13
Speaker
And notice they only do this to women, by the way.
00:29:17
Speaker
I did a tweet a while ago with a female fitness model who had a husband who blew up, who was already big in their wedding pictures, but they were married for 15 years.
00:29:25
Speaker
And now he's like very, very, very big.
00:29:28
Speaker
And no one stops and says, oh, he's so huge.
00:29:31
Speaker
Why does she still like him?
00:29:33
Speaker
All the men are like congratulating her, but no one stops and says and attacks the way that he looks now.
00:29:38
Speaker
Right.
00:29:40
Speaker
So it's weird.
00:29:41
Speaker
It's just a double standard in the way that women are allowed to exist on the internet versus men.
00:29:47
Speaker
It's a problem if women gain weight and men have no problem attacking any man that stays with a woman who gains weight.
00:29:53
Speaker
But when you see the opposite, it's radio silence and crickets.
00:29:57
Speaker
Just call back to our episode, body shaming men for their own good, which was another one of our controversial episodes.
00:30:04
Speaker
You know, notice how men police men to keep their standards high.
00:30:09
Speaker
Right?
00:30:09
Speaker
Like, they'll attack a man for dating a woman who's the same age as him.
00:30:13
Speaker
Like, they attacked Keanu Reeves for dating an age-appropriate, you know, artist.
00:30:20
Speaker
Like, a woman basically similar age as him.
00:30:23
Speaker
They'll attack Pierce Brosnan for not divorcing his wife because she gained weight.
00:30:27
Speaker
But they... When women police each other, it's always to keep our standards low.
00:30:31
Speaker
Like, that's kind of the fucked up thing about, like...
00:30:35
Speaker
That's just like so fucked up to me, right?
00:30:37
Speaker
Like the women who complain about FDS, they're like, oh, it's not nice to, you know, judge a guy based on his height or his dick size or his income or whatever, blah, blah, blah.
00:30:45
Speaker
Like keep them standards low, sis.
00:30:47
Speaker
And the men are like, keep them standards high, king.
00:30:50
Speaker
And I'm just like, I don't know.
00:30:52
Speaker
It's just the upside down world.
00:30:53
Speaker
I feel like I'm in the upside down world.
00:30:54
Speaker
Like this is the opposite of how it should be.
00:30:56
Speaker
No, agreed.
00:30:57
Speaker
And that's a very deliberate cultural phenomenon that I think is crafted by men, right?
00:31:04
Speaker
To benefit themselves, to teach women to police each other's standards to stay low.
00:31:11
Speaker
And they obviously police women's standards to stay low, but then police men's standards to stay high, right?
00:31:17
Speaker
Any guy that does anything they think is nice to women, you know, they get called us sorts of...
00:31:23
Speaker
simp and simps yeah derogatory slurs for gay people etc so it's really really an unfortunate thing we've had a few more uh nominations i want to know for highest value man right yeah i want to nominate that amazing guy who stood by his girlfriend's cancer treatment he massaged her entertained her like made her meals and organized a parade for her i think that is all like well and good but it just goes to show just how low that the bar is for men
00:31:53
Speaker
Like how many women stay with their husbands who are sick and take care of them and they don't get any recognition if a man does that?
00:32:00
Speaker
Again, because we're used to men leaving their wives when they get cancer.
00:32:03
Speaker
There's even a study on it.
00:32:05
Speaker
So yeah, when a man doesn't abandon his wife or girlfriend, it's like, wow, he's such a great guy.
00:32:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:11
Speaker
And then we had another one of the man in his kid's TikTok video.
00:32:16
Speaker
He still takes his wife out and gets excited for their date nights after 20 years of marriage.
00:32:21
Speaker
Again, that's sweet, but that should be the bare minimum.
00:32:24
Speaker
So...
00:32:27
Speaker
It's honestly quite telling that we're sort of scraping the barrel here with the HVM nominations.
00:32:31
Speaker
I said it's tough because sometimes the guy can do something publicly that looks high value, but be a total screw behind the scenes.
00:32:39
Speaker
So some of it is everyone's... John Cena.
00:32:40
Speaker
Yeah, right.
00:32:41
Speaker
So some of it is everyone's hesitancy to crown someone a high value male just based on small snippets of their life, right?
00:32:48
Speaker
Because... True.
00:32:50
Speaker
Derek Jackson, true.
00:32:51
Speaker
Derek, oh God.
00:32:51
Speaker
That's true.
00:32:52
Speaker
I'm surprised it was not she nominated for Biggest Skirt, to be fair.
00:32:58
Speaker
We didn't get a chance to roast him this year, but... We will next year, don't worry.
00:33:02
Speaker
I want to do an episode declaring war on every male dating coach.
00:33:06
Speaker
Hell yeah.
00:33:07
Speaker
That's coming.
00:33:07
Speaker
In the...
00:33:08
Speaker
in the comments of this episode on the Reddit thread, comment, any male dating coaches you want us to drive because we have Derek Jackson, Matthew Hussey, and I think Kevin Samuels.
00:33:16
Speaker
And, you know, we want to maybe do two more, but there's so many of these male dating coaches.
00:33:21
Speaker
And I wrote a big rant on my Twitter about it, where I feel like their entire existence is to police women's response to disrespect.
00:33:28
Speaker
Exactly.
00:33:30
Speaker
Trickle information that you should have a little bit more self-respect than you have, but at the same time gaslighting you into dealing with men who openly disrespect you by trying to tell you it's a lack of soft skills that you have when it's just men disrespecting you because they can.
00:33:50
Speaker
Male dating coaches also perpetuate patriarchy by thinking there's some kind of simple gimmick and solution and trick you can do in response to turn a man around or turn a man's disrespect into something else or that you can trick a man into loving you.
00:34:04
Speaker
You can trick a horrible person into being good just for you.
00:34:09
Speaker
That's the hope and the dream that they sell women through all their...
00:34:14
Speaker
books and tricks, et cetera.
00:34:15
Speaker
And it's just a big scam and I hate it.
00:34:17
Speaker
And I hope we put them out of business.
00:34:19
Speaker
So yeah.
00:34:19
Speaker
Should we just leave the category for highest value, man?
00:34:22
Speaker
Should we just leave that blank this year and hope that another man wins next year?
Listener Highlights and Reflections
00:34:28
Speaker
No, I want, I keep hope alive.
00:34:29
Speaker
Let's congratulate the guys for the high value behavior that we did see.
00:34:33
Speaker
So that's fine.
00:34:35
Speaker
We just hope that next year we can find a more complete picture of
00:34:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:34:41
Speaker
So the final category is the favourite FDS moment.
00:34:46
Speaker
So we've had a few special mentions, again, from our users.
00:34:49
Speaker
We got one for Detty Peegs.
00:34:53
Speaker
Oh, thank you.
00:34:54
Speaker
I accept that nomination on behalf of my wonderful mother, even though that used to traumatise me as a child.
00:34:59
Speaker
I'm glad I can look back on it with fondness, and I'm glad it made you laugh as well.
00:35:03
Speaker
She'll be very, very honoured to...
00:35:08
Speaker
Tell your mom, by the way, mom, you won an award on our, you won a made up award on our podcast.
00:35:15
Speaker
I got nominated, I guess.
00:35:18
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:35:19
Speaker
I'll text her now, actually.
00:35:20
Speaker
But yeah, thank you very much for that.
00:35:21
Speaker
She's a based queen.
00:35:24
Speaker
We also got another nomination for when we hit 200k followers.
00:35:29
Speaker
And that was actually a few, I think it was a few weeks after the sub went temporarily private.
00:35:36
Speaker
And then like all of Reddit were like, oh, is this the end for FDS?
00:35:40
Speaker
Dun, dun, dun.
00:35:42
Speaker
And then we get 200k.
00:35:43
Speaker
Rolls eyes.
00:35:45
Speaker
Rolls eyes to the back of head.
00:35:48
Speaker
They were all like gleefully eating their popcorn thinking that we were going to get cancelled.
00:35:52
Speaker
And I was like, you thought, bitch, you thought.
00:35:55
Speaker
I remember one user was saying it was like a civil war in there.
00:35:58
Speaker
I'm just like, mate, this is not the Avengers.
00:36:00
Speaker
Like, it wasn't like, we're not Thanos versus the Avengers.
00:36:05
Speaker
It just goes to show how men just exaggerate and lie about so much shit.
00:36:08
Speaker
Like, they were just talking about it like it was like some civil war, like the War of the Roses in England.
00:36:13
Speaker
And I was like, it wasn't like that at all.
00:36:15
Speaker
I love that we live rent-free in these dudes' heads.
00:36:18
Speaker
Like, when the subreddit shutdown was going on, and even just, like, just normal, just interacting with people online, I just, I constantly find out about, like, dudes just, like, talking shit about me.
00:36:28
Speaker
I'm just fucking ignoring them.
00:36:30
Speaker
And, right, like, the fact that, like, I live rent-free in their heads, and that I don't think about them at all?
00:36:39
Speaker
Chef's kiss.
00:36:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:41
Speaker
You know, like it just just makes me feel so wholesome and I get peace inside.
00:36:46
Speaker
Yeah, it was interesting watching the meltdown that was happening in the Manosphere.
00:36:50
Speaker
They're like, oh, it's finally it's finally going to go away.
00:36:53
Speaker
And I don't I don't know where they got that idea from.
00:36:57
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:36:59
Speaker
And they all say, oh, I prefer male friends because men don't do drama.
00:37:03
Speaker
I'm like, no, men can be just as fucking dramatic.
00:37:06
Speaker
They love drama.
00:37:07
Speaker
They live for the drama.
00:37:09
Speaker
Men love drama.
Backlash and Misrepresentation Discussion
00:37:10
Speaker
They fucking lie so much as well.
00:37:12
Speaker
They lie about shit as well.
00:37:14
Speaker
Men live for drama.
00:37:15
Speaker
They're the first ones in mess.
00:37:17
Speaker
Don't ever let men convince you otherwise.
00:37:20
Speaker
So honorable mention to the thing that kicked off the subreddit shutdown, which is our female political strategy episode with Elle.
00:37:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:27
Speaker
Which we did just launch on December 6th of this year.
00:37:32
Speaker
So, thought it was a bit of an overreaction by the population of the FDS subreddit, but...
00:37:38
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:37:39
Speaker
And if you listen to that episode on the FDS podcast with Elle and you didn't like it, I'd really like for you to listen to at least the first episode of Female Political Strategy.
00:37:48
Speaker
And if you still don't like it, that's cool.
00:37:51
Speaker
We can part ways.
00:37:52
Speaker
Hope you have a great life.
00:37:53
Speaker
But it would mean a lot if you would give Elle another chance by listening to that first episode.
00:37:58
Speaker
I have to say I was a little bit disappointed in the complete lack of faith in us.
00:38:02
Speaker
And then also the amount of people who hadn't listened to the episode who were just mad...
00:38:08
Speaker
That was weird too.
00:38:09
Speaker
That we talked to a conservative.
00:38:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:12
Speaker
That was honestly like the wildest thing.
00:38:15
Speaker
I literally saw somebody write like an essay.
00:38:18
Speaker
It must have been at least 1500 words in the comment because she hit the comment limit and then she has to write another two comments to get in what she wanted to say.
00:38:26
Speaker
So she wrote a lot and she started with...
00:38:30
Speaker
oh, I haven't actually listened to the episode, but here's what I've heard.
00:38:34
Speaker
I was like, how can you write this about something that you haven't listened to?
00:38:39
Speaker
And it wasn't even Elle that was misrepresented.
00:38:41
Speaker
Like, it was all of us, really.
00:38:44
Speaker
Somebody came out and said that I said I'm right-wing when I never said anything of the sort.
00:38:51
Speaker
And it just got...
00:38:54
Speaker
I was just quite, I mean, maybe again, I'm a Brit, so conservatives here, even though they're complete fucking assholes, they don't seem as insane if there's such a spectrum as the conservatives in the US.
00:39:07
Speaker
So that might have been why.
00:39:09
Speaker
An English person who votes Tory is actually more left-wing than an American Democrat.
00:39:15
Speaker
Yes, exactly.
00:39:16
Speaker
Let that sink in.
00:39:17
Speaker
Like, the United States has two right-wing parties, in my view, at least from my perspective, right?
00:39:23
Speaker
There's no true, like, and, you know, I didn't appreciate all the people saying, like, oh, was FDS secretly alt-right all along?
00:39:31
Speaker
And was FDS secretly white supremacist all along?
00:39:34
Speaker
What?
00:39:35
Speaker
We're funded by the alt-right!
00:39:37
Speaker
That made me laugh so much.
00:39:38
Speaker
No.
00:39:39
Speaker
Are they secretly a CIA psyop?
00:39:42
Speaker
Are they actually, like, secretly funded by Richard Spencer or whatever?
00:39:45
Speaker
Who, by the way, Richard Spencer walked in on one of our spaces and we did not let him speak and we dragged
Rejecting Hate and Misogyny
00:39:50
Speaker
him.
00:39:50
Speaker
That's like another, like, this was not, uh, the call for submissions happened before that Richard Spencer moment, but I have to say that's one of my proudest moments is Richard Spencer getting rejected by FDS.
00:40:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:01
Speaker
So what happened is we hosted a Twitter space and for some reason that none of us understand, Richard Spencer, the white supremacist, listened in and then was trying to grab the mic and he got flamed by literally everyone there, including myself.
00:40:14
Speaker
Yeah, I think I called him like a festering boil in humanity.
00:40:19
Speaker
His constant constipation was morphing into internalized leprosy that was bleeding onto the human populace.
00:40:26
Speaker
I don't know.
00:40:27
Speaker
And then I hope to get Elbin in the face with the force of the 40 million people who died during World War II so that we didn't have to listen to his dumbass argument.
00:40:35
Speaker
Anyways, I'm really proud of that because a lot of people were quote tweeting the space with like, ah, fucking Richard Spencer.
00:40:42
Speaker
I want to lose her.
00:40:43
Speaker
He's a fucking basement dwelling like incel.
00:40:46
Speaker
I have zero idea why he thought it was appropriate to crash our space.
00:40:49
Speaker
And I'm actually just gobsmacked at the audacity.
00:40:54
Speaker
Isn't he also like super broke because he had to pay out loads?
00:40:58
Speaker
Yeah, he's poor.
00:40:59
Speaker
I'm not sure if I'm confusing him with Alex Jones, but I think Richard Spencer's didn't need like lose a lawsuit or something.
00:41:05
Speaker
So he's broke, but his parents have a ton of money.
00:41:09
Speaker
So I don't know that he's ever personally had a ton of money.
00:41:11
Speaker
His parents have.
00:41:12
Speaker
But yeah, I think he's been sued so many times.
00:41:14
Speaker
I'm sure he's personally broke.
00:41:16
Speaker
Oh, didn't you laugh about the time he got punched in the face?
00:41:18
Speaker
And you're like, I don't think he got punched in the face enough.
00:41:21
Speaker
I don't think he got punched in the face hard enough.
00:41:26
Speaker
I can't even laugh because I'm just I'm just gobsmacked at the audacity.
00:41:31
Speaker
The male audacity.
00:41:33
Speaker
We said from the beginning, by the way, this is a female centric space.
00:41:36
Speaker
Men can listen, but they are not allowed to speak.
00:41:38
Speaker
And a lot of men took issue with that.
00:41:40
Speaker
And I guess Richard Spencer just thought, oh, because I'm famous, they'll make an exception for me.
00:41:46
Speaker
Nope.
00:41:46
Speaker
Same rules apply to you, just like every other scrot.
00:41:49
Speaker
Bye, bitch.
00:41:49
Speaker
Yeah, we don't care.
00:41:51
Speaker
Especially not that person.
00:41:53
Speaker
He just looks like if someone shit in a bag and then try to sculpt it into human form, Richard Spencer.
00:42:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:02
Speaker
So yeah, that's, that's my favorite FDS moment of this year, but that also was like yesterday.
00:42:05
Speaker
So maybe it's just because it was like fresh, it's fresh in my memory.
00:42:09
Speaker
The other hundred, the other FDS moment or that was submitted in the Reddit thread here was the podcast Queens dunking on the Jezebel writer.
00:42:18
Speaker
But since we've already awarded Tracy Clark Flory, pick me Hall of Shame.
00:42:23
Speaker
then yeah, that's an honorable mention for this category.
00:42:27
Speaker
My favorite FDS moment this year actually comes from our Patreon, which was the 10 tips for dating a prisoner, which I think we're going to release publicly.
00:42:37
Speaker
That episode will be our Christmas gift to you all, because that episode was just...
00:42:43
Speaker
I've never laughed so much recording.
00:42:45
Speaker
Honestly, like our laughs are a hundred percent real.
00:42:47
Speaker
Like, you know how people like script podcasts and just put in set laugh and brackets track.
00:42:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:51
Speaker
That was like, if we're laughing, we're genuinely laughing.
00:42:55
Speaker
And for that one, like my abs, my stomach was hurting.
00:42:58
Speaker
It was just so ridiculous.
00:43:00
Speaker
My abs were sore for like hours after that recording that episode.
00:43:05
Speaker
So we're going on break.
00:43:06
Speaker
So we're going to release a couple of our Patreon episodes to the public.
Future Plans and Excitement
00:43:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:11
Speaker
And that's one of them.
00:43:12
Speaker
That's one of our favorite ones.
00:43:13
Speaker
If you want a little taste of what goes down on the Patreon, it'd be going down on the Patreon.
00:43:18
Speaker
So subscribe to the Patreon if you haven't.
00:43:21
Speaker
And then the last one that was mentioned here was discussion about changes in the dating scene since COVID and Lilith's... I haven't been catcalled this much since I was 12, which is true!
00:43:31
Speaker
Like, I got a lot of sexual harassment when I started going through puberty.
00:43:35
Speaker
I don't know what the fuck is wrong with men.
00:43:36
Speaker
They're all pedophiles.
00:43:37
Speaker
No, they're not all pedophiles, but a lot of them are.
00:43:39
Speaker
I've never met men so thirsty after the COVID lockdown.
00:43:43
Speaker
Like, after COVID lockdowns, it's, like, ridiculous.
00:43:46
Speaker
Men are just going to, like, ridiculous lengths.
00:43:49
Speaker
to get women's attention.
00:43:50
Speaker
It's hard to describe to men what it's like to be a young woman.
00:43:55
Speaker
It's kind of like if you're watching The Walking Dead, except for the zombies only go after you if you're a female between the ages of 10 and 15.
00:44:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:06
Speaker
It's really strange because it's like they're slowly... It's like they're following you, they sniff the blood, and no one can see it but you.
00:44:14
Speaker
Imagine if you're constantly being followed by zombies that only you can see.
00:44:18
Speaker
That's what it feels like, honestly, street harassment.
00:44:22
Speaker
And so then when you tell them, like, there's all these guys harassing me, they're like, no, there's not.
00:44:25
Speaker
You're exaggerating.
00:44:26
Speaker
You're like, no, no, we're not.
00:44:29
Speaker
This is why it's hilarious when guys call us femcels because they really underestimate the thirstiness of their fellow man.
00:44:34
Speaker
Oh, they know.
00:44:37
Speaker
They know.
00:44:37
Speaker
They just don't want to acknowledge it, okay?
00:44:39
Speaker
Like, men know how fucking thirsty men are.
00:44:42
Speaker
They just are ashamed of it.
00:44:44
Speaker
I mean, on the red pill, they...
00:44:46
Speaker
calling each other out for like paying for only fans or porn because saying like don't be a simp guys you're not helping you're ruining the cause so yeah that's true they probably know but it's still just yeah it's just another blatant mischaracterization yeah
00:45:02
Speaker
No, the thing I hear from men is they'll say things like, oh, well, when I was 12, I would have loved it if some MILF rolled up in a car and kidnapped me and had sex with me.
00:45:10
Speaker
And I'm like, yeah, that's another example of why men and women are different.
00:45:14
Speaker
And also that's a lie because the boys who that has happened to, it's been traumatizing for them.
00:45:19
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:45:20
Speaker
Exactly.
00:45:21
Speaker
Like, that's the kind of fucked up thing interacting with men on the internet is whenever we talk about, you know, domestic violence or rape, they're always like, men can be abused, too.
00:45:29
Speaker
Men can be raped, too.
00:45:30
Speaker
But then I a while back, I posted a tweet about how I had an ex who said that when he was a teenager, he's like 12 or 13, and had a like sexual relationship with an older woman.
00:45:43
Speaker
and how he thought it was like a flex.
00:45:45
Speaker
Like he thought like, oh yeah, I've always been such a Chad.
00:45:48
Speaker
Like I've always been picking up girls ever since I was 12.
00:45:51
Speaker
And I was like, oh, so you got molested?
00:45:54
Speaker
And he was like offended by that.
00:45:56
Speaker
He was like, I wasn't molested.
00:45:58
Speaker
Like, you know, he doesn't want to see himself as a victim of sexual abuse, but a ton of guys were like retweeting or quote tweeting that being like, yeah, like good for him.
00:46:05
Speaker
Like, yeah, I wish I could be like that guy.
00:46:07
Speaker
Like, oh, what a Chad, like that kind of stuff.
00:46:09
Speaker
Like
00:46:10
Speaker
Men will always throw the, oh, men can get raped too, in the face of feminists to make us shut up about male violence.
00:46:16
Speaker
But then when it comes to actually caring about actual male rape victims, they think it's funny or they think it's like a flex or they think it's cool or like they just don't take it seriously.
00:46:26
Speaker
And notice how we don't defend those women either.
00:46:28
Speaker
We're not like, oh, it's totally biologically normal for women to want to like pick up children.
00:46:33
Speaker
No, those women suck too.
00:46:34
Speaker
Yeah, and we think they should be in jail.
00:46:36
Speaker
So, like, notice the difference in the narrative where men try to justify their pedophilia through some kind of biological imperative, even though it's completely unjustifiable.
00:46:46
Speaker
And even if it were a biological imperative, it just means that we basically need to torture you because we don't need to keep putting that back into the human population if you're a pedophile, if you're just genetically a pedophile, necessarily.
00:46:59
Speaker
Yeah, men need to go on Rapist Island.
00:47:00
Speaker
They all need to be sentenced to 10-year stay on Rapist Island, if they can survive that long.
00:47:07
Speaker
I'm just reminiscing fondly on this past year with you ladies.
00:47:11
Speaker
It's been a wild ride, but it's been good.
00:47:14
Speaker
I'm getting emotional.
00:47:16
Speaker
I'd say launching the podcast was my favourite FDS moment because I have no media background whatsoever.
Personal Growth Stories
00:47:23
Speaker
And it's also really...
00:47:27
Speaker
I'm not meaning to blast our own horns here, but it's quite something putting yourself out there week by week, like just talking to people because we get a lot of admiration, but it also comes with a lot of sometimes negativity as well.
00:47:44
Speaker
It might seem hard to believe, but I'm a massive introvert in real life.
00:47:47
Speaker
So even just speaking from hours to people, it was quite a big deal for me, but it's gone really well, I think.
00:47:56
Speaker
Oh, and as an aside, also, that my mum was very pleased with her nomination and she would like to give a short speech.
00:48:06
Speaker
I mean, just, I mean, like, after she was like, okay, what is FDS?
00:48:10
Speaker
It was like female dating strategy.
00:48:12
Speaker
And then she was like, okay, I need a date.
00:48:13
Speaker
I was like, mum, you're married.
00:48:14
Speaker
But anyway.
00:48:15
Speaker
Mum, we're married.
00:48:19
Speaker
She's like, the speech is, dear men, please stop spreading E. coli disease with your deti pig habit.
00:48:25
Speaker
Please clean your bum properly to avoid skin marks on your girlfriend's bed.
00:48:29
Speaker
Please lead a safe life by being clean.
00:48:35
Speaker
So, yeah, that is her acceptance speech.
00:48:37
Speaker
Words of wisdom from Savannah's mom.
00:48:41
Speaker
Much beloved based FDS queen.
00:48:47
Speaker
She had a short speech.
00:48:49
Speaker
I love it.
00:48:54
Speaker
But yeah, that was my favourite FGS moment was launching the podcast this year.
00:48:57
Speaker
And it's just been great to meet so many people, have all the guests, but also see the community really come to life.
00:49:04
Speaker
I feel like one of the reasons why we started the podcast was so that people can humanise us a lot.
00:49:10
Speaker
And I think that's been really successful.
00:49:12
Speaker
Like even in some of the spaces where we get men jumping on, they're nowhere near as hostile when they hear us, like hear what we have to say than when they just read it.
00:49:22
Speaker
So...
00:49:23
Speaker
Yeah, and I'm really looking forward to 22 and seeing how far we can go with both the political podcast and this
Empowerment and Impact on Women
00:49:30
Speaker
podcast.
00:49:30
Speaker
Also, I just want to point out we have almost half a million downloads on this podcast already.
00:49:35
Speaker
We have 450,000 downloads and 41 episodes.
00:49:37
Speaker
Well, 40, you know, if you don't count the trailer.
00:49:40
Speaker
But yeah, so hopefully by the time, hopefully we'll hit half a million soon.
00:49:45
Speaker
I'm going to be really happy when that happens.
00:49:47
Speaker
But yeah, I'm really proud of us so far.
00:49:49
Speaker
We should definitely hit a million by next year.
00:49:52
Speaker
Definitely.
00:49:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:49:53
Speaker
The other thing, the other thing I wanted to say that I'm really proud of is I get messages or, you know, I get DMS from women all the time saying that, um, because of FDS, they found a high value man or because of FDS, they broke up with their shitty abusive ex or, you know, because of FDS, they leveled up and they're living their best single life or, you know, so on.
00:50:13
Speaker
Right.
00:50:13
Speaker
So for me, like, um,
00:50:16
Speaker
People often say, I hope you're proud of yourself for all this hate and horrible stuff you put out in the world.
00:50:22
Speaker
You're harming men, blah, blah, blah.
00:50:23
Speaker
And I'm like, you know what?
00:50:24
Speaker
Honestly, this podcast really does give me life.
00:50:29
Speaker
It makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something on this planet, doing good for the world.
00:50:34
Speaker
I'm helping women.
00:50:35
Speaker
I'm like...
00:50:38
Speaker
I feel glad that there's probably tons of women out there who will avoid an abusive relationship because of the advice that they got on FDS.
00:50:44
Speaker
I could die tomorrow and be super proud and think I've lived a full and complete life just because... Even if just one woman out there was inspired by my words to leave her abuser, I'd be like, that's enough.
00:50:55
Speaker
My life is complete.
00:50:56
Speaker
That's all.
00:50:57
Speaker
I hope to...
00:50:58
Speaker
Continue in 2022 to be sending out messages, pro-female messages, so that women know their worth and don't put up with shit for men.
00:51:06
Speaker
Well said.
00:51:08
Speaker
What I really love about the FDS podcast, first of all, having two really great co-hosts.
00:51:14
Speaker
Besties.
00:51:15
Speaker
Besties.
00:51:17
Speaker
So I know when we were all discussing trying to start a podcast and what that would actually look like and what that would actually mean, just having two co-hosts that were really enthusiastic about doing it, who had such great ideas, who are personable and funny.
00:51:33
Speaker
And I feel like I've learned a lot from you guys.
00:51:35
Speaker
And vice versa.
00:51:36
Speaker
I've learned a lot from you too.
00:51:38
Speaker
Thank you.
00:51:39
Speaker
And also just wanting a space where we could talk about FDS issues without the noise that comes with being on the
Vision for FDS as a Pro-Woman Media Outlet
00:51:47
Speaker
Reddit.
00:51:47
Speaker
Because one of the biggest complaints that people have about the subreddit is that sometimes the strategy gets drowned out in a lot of the other types of posts.
00:51:56
Speaker
And there's not a whole lot of room to talk about some of the more specific issues in depth.
00:52:00
Speaker
So I'm really, really happy we were able to launch this space to talk about FDS in a more cohesive manner.
00:52:07
Speaker
And we've been getting really great feedback from our listeners as well as the Patreon subscribers.
00:52:12
Speaker
And we're hoping to keep expanding and create more media in the vein of FDS, both in the podcast format, but also newsletters and on the website and on our Instagram, on our Twitter, like really, really become a pro-woman media conglomerate.
00:52:29
Speaker
So,
00:52:30
Speaker
We appreciate all the support that we've gotten so far from everyone.
00:52:33
Speaker
I appreciate all the hard work that everyone who's been involved in FDS in various capacities has put in over this past year.
00:52:40
Speaker
There's a bunch of people working on it behind the scenes as well, who are, as of right now, nameless and faceless.
00:52:45
Speaker
So thanks to them.
00:52:48
Speaker
Thanks to them for their contributions.
00:52:50
Speaker
Because not everybody wants to put their, you know, their voice out there and everything like we do.
00:52:54
Speaker
So just, I'm just so excited.
00:52:56
Speaker
I'm really excited to see what we're going to do in 2022.
00:52:58
Speaker
Thank you.
00:52:58
