15. 'Boys Will Be Boys' & Other Bullsh*t

There's a lot of sayings and phrases we'll hear in our lifetime.
A little secret? Most of them are absolute bullshit!
Whether it's phrases perpetuating toxic masculinity and rape culture, or phrases that completely invalidate people needlessly.
So in this episode I completely lose it and go off on one about some of the phrases that crossed my mind as being completely ridiculous (I'm sure there are many more I could bring up...)
Also ranted about:
- Why being 'the bigger man' is a load of bollocks designed to push the myth that forgiveness is the only route to moral superiority and closure
- 'Boys will be boys' and 'boys don't cry' as contributors to a toxic culture that continues because of these narratives
- 'Beauty is pain' and 'boys who pick on you like you' as ridiculous phrases that make young girls assume that pain is an inevitable part of becoming beautiful and being loved (waxing might be painful but that doesn't mean beauty is...)
- Why 'I'm sorry you felt that way' is one of the biggest crocks of shit in the world of pointless apologies and lacks any accountability.
If you don't like the episode, I'm sorry you FELT that way.... (I am genuinely sorry if you actually made it through this episode, though!)
