Guests include: Jameela Jamil, Laverne Cox, and Lindy West.©2021 The Cumberland Company (P)2021 The Cumberland Company

Not worth the time. Normal babbling about "The Patriarchy" making young women get ear lobe plasties because they've read in Vogue about how attractive their ears should be. (1) I doubt any man has ever cared what a woman's ear lobes looked like. (2) If you think men give even the slightest shit about Vogue then you're out of your mind. Most of the weird shit is women pressuring other women.

Then there's the body positivity/neutrality stuff. Lots of healthy sized women extolling the virtues of being fat and not dieting while not committing to the lifestyle themselves. Apparently men are at fault when we don't find overweight women attractive yet Banks and all her guests are dating/dated healthily built blokes. I'd believe in their body neutrality stance more if they'd dated ugly, short, balding, obese guys. Somehow I doubt that will happen.

So yeah, lot of waffle about empowerment and patriachy. No different to hanging out in a uni library and certainly no more enlightening.
