4: Gender & sexuality, Christian purity culture, puberty & body image

In this episode, Kristin and Erin talk about how their respective upbringings affected their understanding of sexuality and femininity, from puberty to body image. They dabble into gender theory a little but honestly, they’re still trying to figure it out. Aren’t we all. Note: W.E.I.R.D. is an acronym for western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic.
