The Sleepover Club: TikTok's Siren Gaze, Dark Femme Energy, Vabbing and The Rise Of Pick Me Behaviour Online

The girlies on TikTok are using their vagina fluid as perfume, practising their 'O' faces under the assumption it helps attract a lover, and practising pseudo spirituality as a means of empowering their 'dark femme energy'. But are these practises feminist, or simply pick up artist techniques for the girls? And do these behaviours enable women to take a greater portion of control in relationships, or is it all an illusion? Ione and Halima are discussing all this and much more this week.


Order Ione's book, Poor Little Sick Girls, here!
