Episode description

People have used the word 'lipstick' to describe a lesbian with a greater amount of feminine gender attributes compared to other gender expressions. Leni and Brendy discuss lipstick's rise in media portrayals of queer women in the 90s, its relation to third wave feminism and analyse a slew of judgements 'lipstick lesbians' face.
