Ep. 624: Pick-Me Behavior

About this episode

The episode discusses the negative impacts of 'pick-me' behavior among women and emphasizes the strength found in female friendships and femininity.

Nobody likes a girl who hates on other girls, especially for the benefit of men. Once upon a time, when we were younger, we would brag about how we “weren’t like other girls,” but now we know better. Our female friendships have saved us from our darkest moments, and we’d be honored to be exactly like other women. Femininity isn’t a weakness—it’s strength to find beauty and connection even in the darkest times. We don’t hate the “pick-me” girls out there, but we do feel kind of embarrassed for them.
