The Oxford Study Is a Lie —Two Asian Women Explain Why

If you've ever been on the receiving end of an "Oxford study 👀" comment on TikTok (or been the one to drop it), this episode is for you.

This week on GlowJob, Sasa and Julia are breaking down one of the most misused, misunderstood, and weaponized pieces of internet "evidence" in AAPI culture: the so-called Oxford Study. Spoiler: it's a media analysis paper about TV commercials. It has nothing to do with Asian women's psychology — and the original author is horrified by how it's being used.

In this episode, we trace how we actually got here — from the "comfort women" of WWII to US military bases across Asia, Hollywood's 120-year run of submissive Asian woman narratives (Suzy Wong, Madame Butterfly, Miss Saigon, Memoirs of a Geisha), the model minority myth, and today's passport dude phenomenon.

Then we get personal: the red flags of an Asian fetish, the desexualization of Asian men, K-pop's cultural reset, and the very complicated question of Asian women who only date white men— and why that's not as simple as the comment section wants it to be.

This is GlowJob's AAPI Heritage Month episode — unfiltered, nuanced, and long overdue.
