The modern day woman becoming the new Sarah Bartman

·21 min·2 clips

Host Ronell asks if modern women are becoming the new Sarah Bartman, a 19th-century woman displayed and mocked for her body.

The episode opens on February 7, 2026, with host Ronell posing the central question: is the modern woman becoming the new Sarah Bartman? He provides a historical overview of Sarah Bartman, born in 1889 and died around age 25-26, a Black South African woman who traveled to Europe for fame but was put on display and mocked for her large breasts and buttocks, later turning to prostitution and having her body parts exhibited posthumously until 1974. Ronell draws a direct parallel to today's women, stating they betray themselves by undergoing procedures like BBLs and breast enlargements, which he views as seeking unnatural alterations. He argues that women who demand men pay their bills or cover expenses like hair, nails, and babysitters for dates are essentially labeling themselves as harlots or prostitutes, contrasting this with the privileges of a legally married wife. The host criticizes plastic surgery outcomes, describing women with augmented features as looking unnatural, like chickens or ostriches, and attributes this to low self-esteem and societal pressure. He emphasizes that men of means will not publicly associate with such women, keeping them as hidden toys rather than family partners. Ronell places responsibility on women for allowing themselves to be used, citing a lack of education about figures like Sarah Bartman and biblical references to harlots. The episode includes a detailed breakdown of dating costs, estimating up to $700 for a single date including maintenance expenses, and advises men to reject such demands. Throughout, Ronell maintains this is an educational critique rather than a put-down, aimed at teaching listeners about self-worth and natural creation.
