We've got a history lesson for you today Whackers! But first we're yapping about having a case of the Thursdays, BASEketball, and being on time. Then we're giving you our thoughts on Sydney Sweeney's Novig ad, Amanda HIrsch's Poly Market Ad, and selling out in general. Then it's time to get in the weeds with a fun history lesson. Last week's discussion about infantilization got us thinking about some of the things we do that could possibly perpetuate the narrative that women are childlike and submissive and therefore not as capable as men. Due to the recent trend of "I'm just a girl" content we thought it would be interesting to look into the words "woman" and "girl" to get some insight into where these words originated and how they've evolved over the years. We also decided to research certain beauty standards that seem to have emerged very early in western culture and still have us in a chokehold today. We're digging deep on the origin of dresses for women and pants for men, face makeup but specifically blush, body hair removal, and our obsession with thinness. In the end it all comes back to morality (and submissiveness), class distinction, and racial hierarchy. We were certainly surprised by some of the information and we think you will be too! As always we wrap it up with gripes about non standardized puzzles and bad coffee and grapes to running hacks and bestie telepathy. See you in the weeds!
