Tradwife Glow-Up or Trojan Horse? Our Evie Magazine Critique

On this episode of Good Girls, we jump into Evie Magazine, the glossy, sexy “Cosmo for conservatives." Evie serves tradwife realness with low-cut milkmaid dresses, husband-pleasing lap dance tutorials, and a whole lot of “feel sexy by embracing your femininity” advice. We break down their wild takes on birth control (hello, pullout method), why rich women supposedly fake more orgasms (evidence is shakey at best), and how the whole thing feels like a Trojan horse for traditional gender roles. Is it empowering married sex positivity or just glossy pick-me propaganda? We debate it all. Plus, we review Yesteryear by Carol Clare Burke, the tradwife time-travel thriller inspired by Ballerina Farm vibes. As usual, it's funny, spicy, and a little unhinged :)

Our G-Spot Episode: Skeptical But Curious

We went deep into the mysterious world of the G-spot this week. Armed with skepticism, Cosmo articles, smutty book recaps, and a whole lot of actual science, we talk the history, the hype, and the reality of this legendary erogenous zone. From Freud’s vaginal orgasm obsession and Kinsey’s groundbreaking (and savage) research, to Masters and Johnson’s glass dildo camera, Dr. Helen O’Connell’s clitoris cartography, and Beverly Whipple’s better branding, we explore how the G-spot went from “urethral erotic zone” to cultural phenomenon. We discuss why it’s probably not a distinct “spot” at all, but part of the glorious clitoral complex, and why that distinction actually matters for better sex and less pressure. Grab your headphones (and maybe your partner), press play, and join us for a fun, honest, and science-backed exploration of female pleasure that goes way beyond one magical button.

Interview with Danielle Frank, Wine Industry Expert and Author

We sit down with Danielle Frank and talk about her playful take on parenting through the lens of wine. We talk about how wine snobbery is all silliness and her career path from PR to the wine industry. We dive into her adult children's book, A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting. It's full of useful wine tips and a lightheartedness...think cheery fun with pictures versus a 400-page textbook on the ways you're parenting wrong :) We talk about how non-parents who are a part of the village also need a seat at the table in helping to raise awesome kids. Plus...Why Lambrusco deserves a comeback, self-publishing realities, and her upcoming book on whiskey + dog breeds (!) Cheers!

A Spiral into Smutty Novellas and Polycules

Happy spring, good girls...when the air gets warmer, trees get jizzy, and the reading choices get… questionable. In this episode, we discuss romance novellas that fully deserve the smut label. Kay went deep into Jessa Kane's porny novellas full of problematic age gaps and worrisome power dynamics galore, and...kinda loved it??? We debate the necessity of happily-ever-afters in these purely spicy reads...not sure we needed to know that 5 years later the grandpa and the 21 year-old former virgin went on to marry and have twins and do it at a trampoline party...looking at you, "Property of Pops." That's not why we are here, guys! We then take a turn into real life with an exploration of a highly structured San Francisco polycule...complete with applications, rules, and logistics that feel suspiciously corporate. Is it efficient? Is it chaotic? Is it… a little culty? Would Kay have joined in an alternate universe? Let's hope it's fake, otherwise, we are worried about you, Zaid! Join us for Bradford Pear Tree-esque discussion. Spring has sprung, but our standards certainly have not.

The Depressing History of Discovering Female Orgasms

Hey everyone, we are diving headfirst into the weird and infuriating history of the female orgasm. We start with the big question that kicked this off: why don’t we have a complete picture of the clitoris and female pleasure until basically our lifetimes? Perhaps because for centuries, a whole lot of men decided women were just passive penis-shaped receptacles, and they really weren’t looking (or caring) very hard?? We follow the fascinating journey of Marie Bonaparte (Napoleon’s great-grandniece) who measured hundreds of women’s genitalia, became besties with Freud, decided her clitoris was in the “wrong” spot because she couldn’t climax in missionary, and actually had surgery (twice!) to move it closer to her vagina in hopes of achieving that “proper” vaginal orgasm. We roast the ancient Greeks (thanks, Hippocrates and Galen, for the inverted penis theory and the idea that the vagina and clitoris are in constant conflict) and Victorian doctors who declared most women aren’t troubled by sexual feelings...and how the whole “vaginal orgasm is the only feminine one” myth stuck around from ancient times straight through to Bridgerton. Along the way we hit hysteria cures via pelvic massage (hello, hand-crank vibrators that look like medieval torture devices), Freud’s nonsense about rejecting clitoral pleasure to become a “real” woman, and the slow, glorious comeback thanks to researchers like Helen O’Connell who finally mapped the full clitoris with MRIs in the early 2000s. If we don’t laugh at centuries of men getting female anatomy spectacularly wrong, we might cry. So grab a drink, settle in, and join us...it's going to get a little cringey fast.
