What's up, Queens? Welcome to the Female Dating Strategy Podcast, the meanest female only podcast on the internet. I'm Roe.

And I'm Savannah. And we're continuing our 25 tactics of male power series. Yes. I'm quite enjoying

this series, actually. It's nice to be able to put pen to paper and to verbalise the shitty ways that men try and keep women under the thumb.

When doing the research for these sorts of episodes, it's always quite eye-opening when you start to connect the dots and just realize that actually this is all very deliberate by design

and you will most likely recognize these patterns in your relationships or past relationships

with men.

And not even just relationships, but on a societal wide scale.

So a lot of these tactics are both used interpersonally, but also on a group level, aka

patriarchy.

So I think last episode we really focused on the physical aspects of male power.

So this one is going to be a little bit more about emotional aspects of male power.

So emotional manipulation tactics that men

use on women to maintain their power. So what's the first one, Ro? Well, technically I think

it's number six. So number six is negging slash bullying. Oh my gosh. I think I saw like the peak

neg on at Shurikipedia. So I recently posted on my Twitter account a

comment from Richard Burton who was married to Elizabeth Taylor where he was basically saying that

calling her the most beautiful woman in the world is nonsense because she's gone overdeveloped chest.

She was quite busty. She's like short in the

leg and she's got a double chin. Now, if you look at what they both looked like in around

1966, which is around the time Richard Burton made those comments, he literally looks homeless

and she's literally like Elizabeth Taylor would look like. And he still managed to neg her, like, physically,

even though she was like conventionally a 10 out of 10 and he was maybe a 3 or a 4, maybe.
