About this listen

Why so serious? is a famous line from the movie The Dark Knight. Spoken by the villainous Joker, it plays on his demented clownish appearance and twistedly cheerful demeanor, which stays in place even while he does violent or gruesome things. Telling women to smile sounds like harmless advice, on the surface. And yet, it’s a demand that disproportionately affects women negatively while not taking into account what is happening in their lives. Tiffany and Larry take on this social phenomena and discuss real world incidences of this controlling behavior.
