Hawk Tuah Girl, Mixed Weight Relationships and The Rise In Dehumanising Women Online

Hawk Tuah Girl, Mixed Weight Relationships and The Rise In Dehumanising Women Online

It seems as though its never been worse to be a woman participating in the discourse. The Hawk Tuah girl has used her blowjob technique to become a star; cashing in on the viral moment with a merch line, a manager and a possible documentary. But while she makes bank, the alt right have commodified her into a figurehead - once again proclaiming any woman with blonde hair and big tits as their own.


Across the pond, the the left seems to be just as pitiful - as indie fashion brands release ironic 'I <3 Ozempic' t-shirts, and seemingly feminist articles ascribe individual actions political buzzwords, resulting in the death of any kind of progressive discourse. Add 'mixed weight' relationship discourse into the mix, and our hosts have had enough. Will we ever stop reducing women to their bodies? Tune in to find out!
