* TRIGGER WARNING * This episode does contain discussions about sexual assault. If this podcast episode is triggering please contact 1800 RESPECT. This past week two NRL players have been in and out of court for sexual assault. But sadly for decades the NRL has experienced MANY assault charges and accusations (or as the media likes to call it - "scandals"). This week I wondered: - What would you do if one of your good mates was accused of rape? - Why is the mainstream media still calling Jarryd Hayne a “NRL star?” - Do NRL players need minders so they don’t abuse women?

As someone that loves watching movies, I do have a love-hate relationship with action films and the tiresome stereotypes they continue to showcase about women and toxic masculinity. So I decided to rant about it with my beautiful film fanatic / partner / roommate - Daniel. During this RANT MONDAY episode we spoke about women continually being used as props in action movies and how the toxic men are always seen as irresistible to every women in sight.  We wondered: - Why do action movies always have unnecessary love stories - are women only there so the 'hero' has someone to make out with in the end of the film? - Why are women always wearing heels and never wearing hair ties in fight scenes? - Are there any action movies that aren't problematic AF?

* TRIGGER WARNING * This podcast episode discusses domestic violence and suicide. If you find today’s conversations triggering please contact LifeLine at 13 11 14. Or contact 1800 RESPECT.  This past week you may have heard of the names Kelly Wilkonson and Kobi Shepherdson. Two innocent people murdered by abusive men. Two people that could have avoided such tragic deaths if the system wasn't so broken. On today's RANT MONDAY episode I talk about domestic violence in Australia and how it continues to be an issue ignored by our government and many men.  I wondered: - Are men having conversations with one another about domestic violence; or is it just women? - Why do men have to clarify that #NotAllMen are abusers? - And how do we exactly stop women and children being abused, traumatised and killed by the men in their homes?

Like many kids I loved watching Disney films growing up (of course my favourites were Mulan and Beauty and the Beast). But Disney has a problem with representation - there are still no disabled Disney princesses. Disability advocate and film fanatic Hannah Diviney was tired of this. Having Cerebral Palsy, she hated not being able to see Disney princesses like her. So she did something about it. She created a petition calling on Disney to make a disabled Disney Princess. Over 33,000 people have signed this petition and now Hannah is having discussions with Disney Australia. During our interview we spoke about Hannah’s groundbreaking petition, representation in film and misconceptions about disabilities.  During our conversation Hannah recommended following these people: Alice Wong - @disability_visibility Dylan Alcott - @dylanalcott Carly Findlay - @carlyfindlay Keah Brown - @keahbrown For more information on Hannah Diviney and her petition go to change.org And make sure you head to Hannah's Instagram page @hannahthewildflower The Nasty Woman Podcast is hosted and produced by TNWC founder Demi Lynch.

In my early twenties I was admittedly a fat slut. I'm not embarrassed or ashamed by this but I am just realising now that my low self esteem and toxic body image issues did heavily impact my dating life. Back then I slept with any man that showed me any interest because I thought I was unworthy of love and attention due to being fat. I felt like I had to be grateful for any guy that could possibly find me attractive. During today's episode I wondered: Why are the words "fat" and "slut" so offensive? Why did I fear men's rejection and crave their attention? Would I still be a "slut" if I had better self-confidence? *Today's podcast episode was sponsored by XCITED PRODUCTS - your go to place for self-love, sexual empowerment and of course XCITING sex toys. Use the code ‘OHAPRIL’ at checkout and get 65% off any item you purchase from the Xcited Products website. * The Nasty Woman Podcast is hosted and produced by TNWC founder Demi Lynch.

Anyone else feeling a sense of fatigue by the news cycle? Anyone else sick of hearing the names "Christian Porter" and "Scott Morrison" in the media? It's gotten to a point where even as a journo I don't want to read the news anymore -  I'm just so TIRED and OVERWHELMED. So I thought on today's episode of RANT MONDAY I would rant about my experience of news fatigue and how I distract myself when it all gets a bit too much.  During the episode I recommend season 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race and season 1 of UK's Drag Race. Both of these shows are available now on Stan. I also recommend TikTok - if you're not on TikTok, what are you doing?!?!

Today's episode of RANT MONDAY is dedicated to the world of MOVIES! And of course I had to have my amazing partner/boyfriend/roommate/lover/partner in crime Daniel because him and I are OBSESSED with movies. Our relationship is pretty much based on our love for movies, and how judgemental we both are of the film industry. During this chat we wonder: What overrated movies were made purely for the Academy Awards? Who are some of our weird celebrity crushes? Why is Marvel so great yet also terrible with their villains? And most importantly, which movie franchise is better - Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter? The Nasty Woman Podcast is hosted and produced by TNWC founder Demi Lynch.

So EXCITED!!!!!!! to release today's episode of The Nasty Woman Club!!!! I got to interview Chanel Contos who is the definition of inspiring + badass. For the past month she's been calling out rape culture in Australia's school and demanding sexual consent to be at the forefront of educational issues in school from a young age. Over 30,000 people have signed her petition and almost 5,000 people have written in testimonies sharing their experiences of sexual assault and sexual harassment while in school. During this chat Chanel and I discussed the importance of men and women identifying internalised sexist behaviour, rape culture in schools, the current climate in London following the murder Sarah Everard and the importance of teaching children about consent and the proper terms for their “private parts."

To celebrate WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH, this week on The Nasty Woman Club podcast I'll be showcasing my favourite interview episodes. So stay tuned for more episodes this week from Monday to Friday. * * * * Hanelle Harris is the director, writer and producer of 'SIS' - an upcoming sketch show on Comedy Central. The show is dedicated to brown voices finally having their voices heard. Because often in the film industry movies and television shows that feature Māori people often stereotype them and tell their stories through a white person's perspective. This week on The Nasty Woman Club podcast host Demi Lynch spoke with Hanelle about how the media can influence our bias towards people of different cultures, backgrounds and races. She said having white perspectives speak on the behalf of Māori people dehumanises them and can encourage discrimination, in particular racial profiling. The filmmaker also discussed how colonised countries need to repair their relationships with their Indigenous people as many are still experiencing the after effects of colonisation.

She also recently got married - in fact her and her partner were one of the first couples to get married in New South Wales after same-sex marriage was legalised. Another fun fact about Kate is that she loves to plan - she's not ashamed to admit she has a Type A Personality. But she didn't plan on getting cervical cancer earlier this year. Kate asks that the one thing women should take from this interview is to make sure they are up to date with their pap smears. She says women shouldn't fear the smear. For more information on Kate Elizabeth make sure you visit her Instagram page @the_blissful_thistle . (Since this chat in 2019 Kate has beaten cancer and now has a gorgeous daughter name Zoe.
