This week, Kate discusses the world of dating advice, both interpersonal and professional, from the books she read in her single days like Why Men Love Bitches, He’s Just Not That Into You, and other best-sellers like Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man or The Rules. She also discusses the confusing nature of casual advice we give our peers and loved ones that can be grounded in anecdote despite being delivered as gospel, causing us to weigh the subjective input of others far too heavily on important matters that impact our personal lives. She also discusses how sociopolitical climates influence generational beliefs about relationships and marriage, and how those tropes and cliches taught to young people infiltrate current generations with irrelevant advice about gender roles that deserve a great deal of nuance and free will to be applied to your circumstances (e.g. why buy the cow). Then, since Kate went to California last minute to have a bday drink with her sister, she asks Kelly to chime in as they read listener-submitted examples of advice Beths said their well-intentioned loved ones incessant provide about dating that they find dismissive, condescending, cliche, and/or sexist as single women. This episode is not designed to give advice but to help us all be better friends by analyzing the nature of unproductive input. Enjoy!

This week, Kate tries to respectfully deep dive Tinx’s (Tiktok @itsmetinx) meteoric rise, press, controversy, and content, while attempting to investigate her fans’ pursuit of holding her accountable to some former (and not so former) troubling tweets. She goes over her background, early quarantine content, recent changes, major press coverage, and fallout/apologies following the uncovered activity, then snorkels her Twitter and finds a fascinating level of whiplash with same-day likes and retweets of things in direct ideological opposition. Additionally, Kate shares some context/commentary from her POV as an influencer, and explores high level the implications of always shying away from/rejecting well-intentioned quests for creator clarifications as abstract "cancel culture" that aims to absolve anything of accountability. Enjoy!
