L & J // On this weeks episode the girls are discussing the new Netflix series Bridgerton, a show produced by Shonda Rhimes, known as the executive producer of Grey’s Anatomy, that follows two elite families as they debut their children in London society, preparing them to find a suitable partner for marriage. Even-though it’s set in the 19th century, it still relates to our modern society, which is why L&J are opening up the gender equality conversation. Women are still being shamed based on the amount of sexual partners they have but men are cheered on, and the idea that women need to be rescued/taken care of by men because they are the weaker gender. It is important to give women space and the opportunity to become strong and independent. As well as deconditioning all that we’ve been taught about relationships and what we consume that further ingrains certain narratives. Stories that keep women and men stuck in boxes, need to be let go and rewritten 📝
The girls also chat about our society being too agreeable. How strong opinions are necessary to stay authentic on your online platforms, and speaking your truth regardless of what others think further aligns you with your people. Plus getting unfollows is a blessing, it fine tunes your online community. Other talking points include: Is romance dead ? - why romantic gestures are such a foreign concept in dating nowadays, why fighting for gender equality has to happen in every aspect, women can rescue themselves, waiting until marriage to have sex, allowing men to soften, showing off/seeking attention on social media, why it is okay to want both a thriving career and to be a mother - we can do both 💻🤰
