My guest today is Freya India, author of the GIRLS Substack. We discussed the many ways in which online culture is affecting young women and girls – everything from the glamorisation of SSRIs, to the trend for a style of cyborg beauty that looks disturbing offline but great on a screen.
In the extended version of the episode, we spoke about the perverse ways in which online beauty trends actually make women less attractive to men, and how status games influence this phenomenon.

My guest today is Rachael Wong, CEO of Women's Forum Australia and an Adjunct Lecturer in the School of Law at the University of Notre Dame Australia. We spoke about a whole host of legal issues of concern to Australian feminists right now: self-ID, surrogacy, prostitution, pornography, and more. We also spoke about why Australia – and New Zealand even more so – seems to be so much more extreme on progressive issues than other parts of the Anglosphere, and the extent to which it is the law, rather than culture, that is driving that.
