The Ultimate Dibber Dobber & The Bruce Willis Dementia Backlash

Cartoonist Bill Leak died. But rather than celebrating his life, many of his critics have vocally celebrated his death. Should we always respect someone in death, even if we didn’t agree with them? The Girls episode that blew open a conversation many of us had been too afraid to have. Is there such thing as casual sexual assault? Plus - have you noticed anything about RomComs of late? There’s an argument that modern dating has changed the ‘happily ever after’ narrative for movies in Hollywood.Plus, we're on Amal Clooney Bump Watch, Monique has had enough of sexualised songs on radio, Amy Schumer's new Netflix comedy gets roasted, and the Sydney School Boys who started the biggest conversation on International Women's Day.Show notes: Show notes Your host and producer is Monique Bowley with Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens Mia recommends How to Murder Your Life, by Cat Marnell.

This #IWD we are having a women's only show! Hosted by three women! Produced by an actual woman! Talking about women's issues! Incredible! Seriously, though. We talk about Emma Watson's Vanity Fair cover. There's a new move for equality for pedestrian crossing symbols. Have you heard of The Alpha Wife? They're ruining marriages. Should you fake an orgasm or is that just rewarding bad behaviour? And the most juicy dilemma; a listener whose best friend wants to ensnare her in a Pyramid scheme. Awks.

It's the thinking woman's guilty pleasure but do we need to butt out on the Canadian Prime Minister's pants policy? The world's biggest Oscars stuff up revealed one hero who we need in our lives. Is it ever ok to say you don't want a man to babysit your child? Is the term 'basic bitch' offensive or just funny? The new penalty rates decision brings some workplace tension, but it's not the worst thing we've ever heard in the workplace.... and should Hot Cross Buns be an all year proposition or a sometimes food?

What happens when you give women a wine and say 'tell us what you really think'? This. We talk the Kardashian Book Club, sex lives of celebrities that we have no business in, when you commercialise your kids for your own monetary gain (looking at you Beyonce), whether career women make bad mothers, and it's Jessie's most daring love experiment yet. You'll need a Mintie after this one. Show notes Your host and producer is Monique Bowley with Jessie Stephens and Jackie Lunn. Mia Freedman was on a plane and will be back next week.

Is Tziporah Malkah the most interesting woman on TV right now? She has some stiff competition because this week the NSW Minister for Women admitted she's pro-life, meteorologists said we need to dump the term 'weather girls', Melania Trump continued to look utterly despondent, and there was a crazy ex-girlfriend on Married At First Sight. It's not all bad news though; we talk the AFL women's launch, and the kitchen trick that will transform your cheap wine into expensive tasting plonk.

We have a new Premier, a new President, and it's a new period. This week, it's kick arse women doing kick-arse things of kick-arsery: Gladys Berjiklian, Serena Williams and the Women's AFL are making us happy. There's A Dummies Guide to the Hottest 100, to get you through any conversation with your cool-factor intact. Is asking a dad permission for marriage completely outdated? And should having children be taught at school? Jessie road-tests a dating guru's advice with interesting results. The peculiar habit of never having enough tampons in the house, unfortunate overseas chemist experiences, and the game-changing podcast, brilliant film, and trashy TV show you need to get onto, pronto.
