The Sleepover Club: Is It Time To Retire The 'Sad Girls With Bad Boyfriends' Narrative?

The Sleepover Club: Is It Time To Retire The 'Sad Girls With Bad Boyfriends' Narrative?

It's a tale as old as time: a woman experiences a breakup, and in the midst of her heartbreak, takes to the internet to tell us every sordid detail of the ways in which her ex did her wrong. Whether on TikTok, published in personal essays on prestigious platforms, or showcased on Instagram stories - the girlies can't get enough of exposing the men that have ruined their lives. But have we bored of hearing these stories? And even worse, do they paint women as perpetual victims unable to exercise autonomy in their own relationships? Ione and Eden discuss!
