Being Good Girls

A lack of Friday night plans led to both of us simultaneously watching Taylor Swift's Netflix documentary on opposite sides of London - Izzy, for the cats and Grace, so she could out speculate about yet another celebrity conspiracy theory. 'Miss Americana' covers a lot of ground, including Swift's relationship status, her eating disorder and her obsession with being a 'good girl'. We discuss what that phrase means for us as people-pleasing, anxiety ridden psychos and why women hold themselves to such impossibly high standards. Enter: J Lo and Shakira's Super Bowl half-time show, which prompted an age-old feminist fight online, a relevant discussion when it comes to the latest Victoria's Secret exposé. Plus, we went rock climbing and didn't die.
