Welcome to episode 10, season 6 of the Woman Uncaged podcast. This week's episode is partially fueled by the Cornell 7 and even more by the powerful article Men Are Not Predators, Women Are Not Prey by Jessica Rose Greenwood on her Rebel in the Wild substack.

TW: Note that this episode does speak of sexual assault; please take care of yourself if and as you listen.

This idea that “Men are predators, women are prey” gets repeated so often it starts to feel like biology. We’re not buying it. In this week's episode we dig into how predator-prey language quietly naturalizes male violence, lowers expectations for men, and traps women in a life of constant vigilance.

We talk about what that framing does inside the body and inside relationships: the way it turns safety into a never-ending checklist, the way it invites victim blaming, and the way it steals time and energy that could go toward joy, leadership, and freedom. We also zoom out to the bigger picture of rape culture, institutional protection, and why consequences so often fail survivors, from college cases to courtrooms.

If this conversation hits you in the gut, you’re not alone. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who cares about women’s safety and empowerment, and leave us a review. Then come tell us: what would change if women's safety didn’t require constant vigilance?
