The Great Debate - Do men have it easier than women?

It’s another week of Married. Single. Divorced., and we’re back with life updates that include slow renovations, surprise DMs and stepping in for fine dining.

The Catch-Up ☕️

🏚️ Larissa’s house updates continue… slowly. Everything is dragging, patience is thin, but she did step up to cook for her mum’s dinner party and then felt personally attacked by how old she felt watching the Brits.

💃 Charlotte is back dancing on a Wednesday (as she should be) and has received a very random DM from ‘short shorts’ - because the universe never lets things rest.

🍽️ Fern’s dad has been suffering with a gallstone, meaning he couldn’t use his Christmas present, a Six by Nico tasting menu. Naturally, Fern was a hero and offered to step in. Meanwhile, her parents are taking the girls to London and are ready to tick off all the sights. Core memories incoming.

This Week’s Topic: Do Men Have It Easier Than Women?

We’re diving straight into it… and yes, opinions are strong.

😤 Larissa says hands down men have it easier. Physiologically? Absolutely. But are men just wired differently? That’s the bigger question. Larissa is firmly in her man-bashing era, feeling like women just have it tougher, full stop.

🤍 Fern shares a moment at work where a male colleague simply said, “you don’t deserve this” and the outreach of support meant so much. Fern reflects on being the default parent, questioning whether men are missing things or just wired differently when it comes to responsibility. Fern admits she just wants a day off - no responsibilities, no pressure.

💸 Charlotte questions the male/female pay gap - and naturally talk turns to first date expectations (Larissa says yes, he should pay), and whether this all ties into masculine and feminine energy. We talk Blue jobs vs pink jobs and how Charlotte finds herself naturally falling into gendered roles at work. Ultimately, Charlotte just wants to “dick around with my big dick energy.”

By the end of it, we land on this:

💜 Fern and Charlotte are living in the “purple jobs” era - aka doing everything.

And don’t worry… Girls have gossip. And apparently, that’s what will save us all.

Real talk, big opinions, and a reminder that we’re all just trying to navigate a world that doesn’t always feel balanced.
