Valentine's Day Spesh! Happy V(agina) day ladies, from Jamie and Sam.

02/10/25 • 20 min

Valentine’s day can be very traumatic for a woman as she nervously awaits the arrival of flowers, chocolates or even a card to show someone thinks of her in that way. So if you need a bit of distraction as well as some direction on love in the feminist sphere, the boys are here with two hot takes on the Big Day.

Sam has the lowdown on planning a romantic lead-up — underwear, foreplay and the importance of starting early, whilst Jamie has a handy guide to empowering women to move on from a relationship, using curry.

Happy Valentines day!

And if you’re new here: welcome to FeMANism, a podcast for men, by men, for women. Brothers-in-law Sam Martin and Jamie Hoggart are just two great guys, the FeMANism podcast is their way of ensuring that the fight for equality is in capable cis male hands. Sam is a father of six female children and a recently qualified marriage counsellor. Jamie is an ex-ITV producer with some time on his hands, pending his next job offer. Together they are pretty confident they can speak on all feminist-related topics and finally sort this whole equality thing out once and for all. And all whilst making feminism more entertaining and a bit less annoying.

Jamie and Sam are played by female comedians Samantha Martin and Amy Hoggart, with their voices digitally lowered.

As a special valentine’s day bonus we’re treating you to the video recording of Amy and Sam improvising this week’s episode, normally reserved for paid subscribers...

This week the boys are discussing a sleep study you’ve probably seen, or no doubt had emailed to you by some woman you know. The problem is that Sam has had an absolutely terrible night of sleep himself, so it’s down to Jamie to keep things moving in the right direction— which he does by discussing some of his own night-time needs.

Jamie and Sam are played by female comedians Samantha Martin and Amy Hoggart, with their voices digitally lowered.
