For too long, women have been told that power belongs to men. In this unapologetic episode, Hilary Silver flips that script and names the truth out loud: women already hold the power—society just taught them to forget. Centered around a bold, taboo-breaking metaphor, Hilary dives deep into how patriarchy was built to control what it couldn't fully possess: female power, autonomy, and sexuality. Drawing from over 6,000 interviews with women over 40, she exposes how even the most outwardly successful women are still battling invisible chains of unworthiness and self-sacrifice. Episode Highlights: What men really want more than money or power How patriarchy is built on controlling what it can’t possess Why high-achieving women often secretly struggle with self-worth The emotional labor and silence women have been conditioned to accept The first steps to reclaim your worth—without asking for permission Episode Breakdown: [00:00] Introduction [01:57] The Power Women Forget They Have [04:15] How Girls Are Taught to Shrink [06:12] When Success Masks Low Self-Worth [09:24] Women’s Sacred, Untapped Power [10:06] Stop Seeking Approval and Start Owning It [10:27] How to Reclaim Your Power, Starting Now [12:03] Join the Self-Centered Movement This isn’t about blame—it’s about reclaiming.

Full Episode
Today we are talking about patriarchy and power. And if that sounds stuffy and boring, I assure you this conversation is not going to be that. That's because there's another force at play here, and it's what makes this extremely exciting and paradigm shifting. Can you guess what I'm talking about? Probably not. It's pussy.
Yes, I said it, and it does make me cringe just a little bit, but I'm slowly getting over it because this is way too important of a conversation not to talk about it with you. And And as you know, I'm all about paradigm shifting and dismantling the status quo and really helping all of us break free from long-held but harmful beliefs that hold us back.
So let's just jump right in without any preamble today. Hi, it's Hillary. Welcome to the Hillary Silver Podcast. Thanks for tuning into the conversation today.

And if you're enjoying this podcast, please consider sharing it with a friend because if you like it, they will probably like it too. Think about this for just a second. The most powerful countries and people are those who have access to the world's most limited, finite, and valuable resources, right? So think oil, diamonds, minerals, gold, dollars. Yes, it's true.
But what is it that man really wants more than any of that? Yes, that's right. Pussy makes the world go around. Ask any man and he will not deny it. In fact, I've been polling some of the men in my life just to see what they have to say about this and none of them disagreed with me. In fact, when I kind of proposed this, they lit up in a way. They got excited to talk about it. So I
After you listen to today's conversation, it would be fun for you to bring it up with the men in your life and see what they have to say. So here's the deal. Since the beginning of time, men obsess over it, fight for it, die for it, pay for it, steal for it, take it by force, and even kill for it. They want to own it, claim it, possess it, control it, and take it whenever they want it.
They want access whenever they want, just like the golden goose. And when they can't get it, they get violent and mean and angry and resentful and lash out. And no, not all men. I would never speak in absolutes, so just know that as we're talking about this. But really, by definition then, who really wants holds all the power. We do.
This is, in my opinion, the seminal underpinnings of patriarchy, the need to dominate and control women to keep us small and dependent and held back to not realize our own power and full potential, lest we realize just how much power we have over them. And if It's the origin point of misogyny, to hate, resent, or be angry towards the source of something that they want but can't control or have.
But here's the biggest problem of all, and this is the bitch slap right now. We women are not wielding our power. not individually in our lives and not collectively as half of the population.
