Throwing Shade

365: Queer Parents Don’t Sexualize Their Kids, Korean Women Rebel Against Cosmetics

Bryan and Erin take up the good fight against bank tellers with attitude on this week’s Throwing Shade! First, Bryan discusses a tweet that outlines the ridiculousness of the all-too-common lie that queer parents “sexualize” their children and how straight parents are actually more often to blame for the same - or worse - behavior. Then, Erin takes us through the latest positive trend in South Korean feminism as women are destroying their cosmetics in defiance of a culture that emphasizes physical beauty above all else.
