Ariana Grande: Power, Innocence & Homewrecking

Ariana Grande is trending again after rumours that she went on a date with another married man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Whether or not it is true, the internet has already labelled her a homewrecker. But behind the memes and outrage is a much bigger story about how we view women like her. In this episode, we examine how Ariana’s image as soft, sweet, and innocent clashes with the accusations against her. We discuss how society rewards women for appearing innocent but punishes them for acting "grown." By the end, we explore a deeper question: how does infantilizing women influence how we judge their love lives, choices, and power, and who gets infantilized versus who does not?

The DOWNFALL of Victoria's Secret: When Inclusion Feels Forced

In this episode, we explore the dramatic cultural evolution of Victoria’s Secret, how a brand that once defined “sexy” for an entire generation lost its influence, and whether its highly publicised comeback is genuine empowerment… or merely strategic rebranding. This episode isn’t just about a lingerie company. It’s about how beauty standards are created, monetized, challenged, and reclaimed. It reflects how society has shifted from being told what is beautiful to deciding it for ourselves. By the end, we uncover a deeper truth: When a brand only embraces diversity after being called out… can it ever truly earn our trust back?

The Rise and (Fall?) of our Toxic Butt Obsession

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the rise (and possible fall) of the butt. From the Fashion Nova era to the gym-glute industrial complex, our culture has turned the human backside into a beauty standard, a marketing strategy, a currency, and, in some cases, a personality trait. We’ll explore how we got here, why butts became the blueprint for desirability, how Black women’s bodies were commodified for profit, and why the “butt economy” might finally be declining. If you’ve ever wondered why butts have such a strong hold on pop culture, dating norms, cosmetic surgery, and social media trends... this episode clarifies it all. Listen in and let’s unpack why society can’t stop talking about our butts… and what that says about us.

When Men Are Protected and Women Are Blamed | Halle Bailey & DDG

In this episode, we talk about the disturbing pattern of women speaking up about harm, only to be met with denial, mockery, and silence. From Halle’s recent restraining order to the backlash she’s received, this isn’t just about one couple, it’s about how society responds when women share painful truths. We connect the dots between cases like Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez, Cassie and Diddy, and ask: Why do men keep getting protected while women get punished for surviving? I’ll also be breaking down poll results from the community, sharing my thoughts on what real accountability actually looks like, and exploring why the public image of some men doesn’t match the damage they cause behind closed doors.
