About this listen
Why does everything women love eventually get labeled “basic,” “cringe,” or embarrassing? From Taylor Swift to Pilates and pumpkin spice lattes, this episode explores how women’s interests are constantly mocked in ways men’s never are; and why that judgment runs deeper than internet jokes.
In this episode, we unpack:
- Why women’s hobbies are devalued once they become popular
- How the “I’m not like other girls” trope was created by this criticism
- Why men are allowed community around shared interests (sports, gaming, cars) while women are shamed for theirs
- The cultural double standard behind calling women “basic”
- How liking things freely becomes a quiet act of rebellion
This conversation looks at pop culture, gender norms, and social media through a feminist lens; and asks why joy, especially women’s joy, is treated as something to be minimized or mocked.
If you’ve ever felt embarrassed for liking what you like, this episode is for you.
