Join Jackie and Catherine as they explore the sexuality of women over 50 on Gilmore Girls. Especially Miss Patty and Emily Gilmore - two polar opposites! It’s not just about sex, though; race, socioeconomic class, and body size factor into the conversation, too.

How are Lorelai and Rory impacted by this? Why did Trix and Emily adhere to “prudish” standards, aside from just their conservative upbringing? We have theories. Join us for this deep dive into our favorite Stars Hollow show.
