We've all been there. You're at a party and you ask about a girl you don't know and someone drops the line "Oh, her? She's ___."  Fill in the blank - she's a good girl, she's innocent, she's a slut, she's easy, she's a prude. It doesn't matter what the label is, people like to have an easy way to define others, so these sorts of names are thrown around all too often. But you're still not totally sure what to say in response. Maybe someone's even said this about you. Don't worry, Alice and Nicolette have gotchu. 

This week, we talk about the assumptions people impose on others, especially women, and the idea that we need to be "definable."  We sound off about out own personal experiences of being labelled, quote Slyvia Plath's book The Bell Jar, fangirl over the recently released Taylor Swift doco, and of course reference Married At First Sight. If you've every felt judged for being [fill in the blank], this is one episode that we hope will have you clapping along from beginning to end.
