004 - Female Tropes in the Media

This episode explores 5 of the most commonly exploited tropes surrounding women in films and in the media we consume, and the detrimental effects this has on our expectations in real life. We look at where these tropes originated from, how they've developed in contemporary film, and how this has changed even the vernacular we use to describe women in real life.

Topics discussed include:
             - the trophy wife
             - the bridezilla
             - the damsel in distress (and the anti-damsel)
             - the asexual career woman
