No offence but... women are too much drama. No but seriously, we're living in a time of 'pick me' inception. Pick me's are calling other women pick me's, in response those women become pick me's and call the pick me's pick me's, and now nobody can decipher who the real pick me is. Hannah and Maia try and get to the bottom of this conundrum. Has the 'pick me' always been around or did early 2000s chick flicks do such a number on us that now we have no choice but to clap back? Or maybe this is just a case of good ole' psychological oppression.
