  • Sabrina Carpenter, Pedobaiting And The Infantilisation Of Adult Women
    Oct 28 2024

    Sabrina Carpenter's 'Short n' Sweet' tour is off to a (literal) bang as right wing parents and TikTok teens are up in arms over Carpenter wearing lingerie on stage, claiming her costume is too sexual for her underage audience. Simultaneously on SWERF twitter, a new term has reared its head: Pedobaiting.


    Is the internet combining the Madonna/Whore complex to produce a new kind of sexism? Is this all because of decades of a cultural infantilisation of adult women? This week Ione and Gina get to terms with the issues facing female sexual expression in a post Qanon landscape.
