Part 7/16:
The discussion ventures into how media reflects and influences gender roles. They spotlight the shift from body positivity and “woman at the table” narratives to stories that favor traditional, male-centered, and often superficially “masculine” stories. The hosts argue that the current trend, with its emphasis on slimness, beauty, and heterosexual male pleasure, reflects a society that still values traditional beauty standards—yet in a way that prioritizes male desire over female agency.
