SATs, Sex Scandals & Sister Smackdowns | Ep. 75 

Getting your kid into college apparently requires 47 passwords, a second mortgage, an overpriced consultant, and a mother on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Getting him to stop picking his nose? Still a work in progress. 🎓🤦‍♀️This week on MenOpod, Eliana is applying to college. Sorry—her SON is applying to college. Leora is threatening a sister breakup, Eliana is reliving her Yale rejection, and the college admissions industrial complex is making menopause look like a spa vacation.But the laughs turn to outrage as the sisters tackle the horrifying gang rape allegations involving a Cornell fraternity.It’s 2026. We have AI, self-driving cars, and billionaires vacationing in space. So WHY are we still having the same conversations about campus sexual assault that we were having 35 years ago?Drawing on their own disturbing college experiences—and Eliana’s time as a sex crimes prosecutor—the sisters confront rape culture, victim blaming, fraternity behavior, and the deafening silence of bystanders.Why are we still teaching girls how to avoid being assaulted instead of teaching boys not to assault them? And why does it feel like so little has changed?We’re obsessed with getting our kids into the best colleges. But are we doing enough to make sure they’re becoming decent human beings?Throw in empty-nest anxiety, sisterly sniping, and a husband who objects to fart jokes while providing his own soundtrack at home, and you’ve got another unfiltered MenOpod episode. 💨Because getting into an Ivy League school doesn’t mean you’ve graduated from being an asshole.🎧 Follow MenOpod All Things Fifty Plus on your favorite podcast app and follow us on Instagram @menopodpodcast.Share this episode with a mom navigating college applications, an approaching empty nest, or the daily business of raising decent humans.Because life begins when your period ends… but apparently the parenting never does. 💗Content note: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault and sexual harassment.#MenOpod #WomenOver50 #CampusSexualAssault #CollegeAdmissions #CornellUniversity #CornellSexualAssault#MenOpodAllThingsFiftyPlus #MenopausePodcast #MidlifeHumor #WomenOver50 #MidlifeWomen #SisterPodcast #ParentingTeens #ParentingYoungAdults #CollegeApplications #EmptyNest #Motherhood #Consent #CampusSafety
