Why Are We All Reclaiming Our Girlhood?

THE POLYESTER PODCAST
About this episode

From girl math and girl dinner to the fact that all of our clothes have become adorned with little bows; girls once again rule the URL world. But how much has changed since the Tumblr era? Is this latest cycle of reclaiming hyper-femininity harmless, or just another opportunity for our interests to become hyper-capitalist fodder? Ione and Gina are diving into the cultural moments that have brought us here, and trying to figure out what it really means to be a girl in this world.
