In this thought-provoking episode, Kristin and Laura ask why women’s joy so often gets dismissed as “basic.” From Taylor Swift fandoms to fantasy novels, they unpack the deep psychological roots of how gendered taste is constructed—and why we feel guilty for what we love.
They dive into:
• Why "guilty pleasures" are a feminist issue
• The Enlightenment origins of the gender binary
• How cultural legitimacy is shaped by patriarchy
• The impact of internalized misogyny on hobbies and identity
• Personal stories of navigating shame, taste, and authenticity
This episode is a celebration of reclaiming joy, challenging cultural scripts, and asking: what if liking what we like was radical?
