73: Sabrina Carpenter: Are We Critiquing Art or Policing Women?


Listen Later

We're unpacking the internet's reaction to Sabrina Carpenter's "Man's Best Friend" album cover - which sparked intense debate about feminism, sexuality, and artistic expression.

In conversation, we explore:

* The disconnect between the provocative album cover and the actual music (and whether that matters)

* An interesting discovery: women say she's pandering to men, but men apparently find her "trying too hard"

* The complexity of critiquing art without making it a moral panic

* How conversations about kink and power dynamics got simplified into "is this harmful?"

* How our reactions to art can teach us about ourselves

* Whether we're accidentally reinforcing conservative ideas while trying to be progressive
