I am very flip floppy in this because I really feel like there are so many other things to be talking about (palestine & literally WW3). As much as I avoid celebrity culture as much as possible & do not let it influence me in anyway, sabrina carpenter still influences many girls & women so that shoul...
The host deconstructs white feminism, arguing that it often prioritizes individual success and marketability over true collective liberation. The episode critically examines concepts like Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean In," the commodification of self-care, and the rise of "Girlboss" and TikTok feminism, which reduce the movement to an aesthetic while sidestepping crucial political issues and systemic critiques. It highlights the hypocrisy of silence on global injustices, ultimately advocating for a revolutionary, collective, and inclusive feminism rooted in accountability and mutual care.

Welcome back to girl bones, a weekly deep dive chat with me :) ALSO! I changed the name of this podcast to 'girl bones'. This week i went down a slippery slope to ask why are we so afraid of ageing? In a world obsessed with youth, women are taught to fear getting older...as if wrinkles, wisdom & experience make us invisible, undesirable & unworthy. But this fear isn’t natural, it’s a construct designed by patriarchy to keep women chasing an impossible standard. I explored the Maiden, Mot...

This episode explores the "spiritual to right-wing pipeline," examining how individuals involved in wellness or holistic practices can adopt conservative, anti-feminist, or anti-LGBTQ+ ideologies. The host discusses personal experiences, the role of COVID-19 in fostering distrust, and how concepts like the divine masculine/feminine or "trad wife" aesthetics on social media contribute to this shift. It emphasizes the distinction between critiquing systems and blaming individuals.
