China's Me Too movement and TikTok feminism

This week's episode revolves around feminism. The conversation begins with China's Me Too movement and how recent celebrity scandals have shed light on Chinese women's struggles. We also touch on a recent viral misogynistic tiktok that sparked outrage through feminist tiktok, leading to discussion on women's current roles in society and heterosexual relationships.  Finally, Jenny ends off the episode by talking about her current journey of understanding makeup in a more positive light. Following beauty trends can sometimes do more harm than good for your self esteem, so how can we use makeup as a tool to celebrate our unique features rather than look like someone we're not?  --- Thanks for listening!

In this episode, we talk about the origins of this niche genre, as well as how it has evolved from its roots in Japan to take multiple forms across entertainment industries in Eastern Asia. Most importantly, we breakdown the vast difference of what BL as a genre means for representation in comparison to LGBTQIA+ content we see more commonly Western content creation. --- Thanks for listening!
