Millennial Nostalgia, The Female Manosphere & A Women's Only Gym

Happy Everything Is Content day & Happy Friday!

Ruchira is back from her holiday... We're SO back... but we're also so sorry to tell you that we’re now old enough that Gen Z are romanticising the 2010s. After years of us Millennials being an absolute joke to them, they’re now craving a life of Buzzfeed, hipster myspace and American Apparel disco pants. We ask what it is about Millennial culture that is so cringe, but also, somehow better than whatever is going on right now.

Next up, women in male dominated fields! Beth found a really interesting article on the website Semafor by Max Tani called “Young conservative women build an alternative to the manosphere.” And in the piece Tani explores several key female right wing creators who are now building empires and audiences in a way that feels very new and separate to the existing right wing media, which has historically been very male-dominated, often headed by controversial middle aged men who focus on recruiting young men into the fold and tend to espouse really misogynistic views that aren’t particularly appealing to women anywhere on the political spectrum. Was it only a matter of time before we got a femosphere?

And lastly, our timelines have been absolutely ablaze this week after Natalee Barnett, founder of the women's only gym, The Girls Spot, went back on her 2021 statement that her gym would be inclusive of trans women. We share our thoughts!

We hope you enjoy, as always please do rate, review and remember to follow on your podcast player app :)
