Chekhabareh? Another episode with an unhinged anonymous Persian girl. Discussing the difference in sexual encounters with men from Iran vs western men, the millennial&apos;s frustration with the lack of effort in flirting these days and generally loss of intimacy, how the life of religious taliban members resembles the present day fuccboy, men who think they deserve immediate sex as a reward for being "honest" about not wanting anything serious, being judged for having too many sexual partners when being single for extensive periods of time, and why Persian women are so damn horny. Intro song: Ghermez-Poobon ft RudebenyPhoto: Taliban members in Bayman Province via Twitter Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/persiangirlpodcast)

Taliban Romantic Philosophy

Salut, salam.  Cette semaine, een hafteh, PGP discusses wedding etiquette drama--ENCORE, and answers a listeners question regarding marrying outside of your religion. En particulier, they get into how one can be raised not by their parents values, but the values of the city/town in which they grew up (sounds like a classic case of ahberoo), reclaiming khanoom, what the real reasons are for Persian families being against their daughters marrying outside their religion,  and what to do when you are in that situation.Sorry for the repeat song, Millie needs an external hard drive to download new bangers for you guys. For those who don&apos;t know: Azize Delami - Mansour Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/persiangirlpodcast)

Emancipation of Khanoom

Natalie and Millie return with a special guest, Naomi Larbi, model and writer + childhood friend of Millie&apos;s, to answer some questions sent in by listeners during their hiatus. They discuss what is considered "normal" when dating a Persian girl, specifically when it comes to expectations of money, gifts, chivalry, dowry, etc. In this episode they give not only a Persian take on these topics but also an Eastern European one. Stay tuned to the end to hear Millie and Naomi&apos;s history of their friendship/BHHS tea and Millie&apos;s traveling tips. Intro song : Barbara Pravi - SauteSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/persiangirlpodcast)

Do beaten horses in fact ever die?  Millie and Natalie attempted to discuss their being uninvited from a comedy show for their Jewishness when Al Jazeera asked them to record comments for the news channel&apos;s documentary on comedian Noam Shuster (see S1 E13).  They then follow how the media orchestrates the never-ending Israeli-Palestinian conflicts on behalf of larger powers financing the proxy war (in the name of each&apos;s plights and passions, of course!) and why Recho Omondi felt obliged to somehow re-cancel Leandra Medine, a sadistic spectacle promptly picked up by the so-called fashion media (e.g. NY Mag&apos;s The Cut.)

Marrying outside the Persian culture

Millie&apos;s brother Adlee, professional gossip and aspirational vh1 commentator, returns on the podcast. They slander Bill and Melinda Gates and give a Persian take on their divorce. Later Adlee and PGP ponder what is contemporary Persian-ness; how each Persian family establishes their own set of laws of what Honor means to them and spill some tea. They dive deep into the meaning of the bizarre question that is often posed to them at parties: "what are you doing here?" and what&apos;s behind the behavior of a woman whose idea of being a woman is a male-directed performance, and furthermore the developmental years of women/how their relationship with their mother and the amount of women they were surrounded by affected their identity. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/persiangirlpodcast)
