Hyphenated Lives

Episode 8: Jennifer Lawrence’s “body positivity” comes under fire In this week’s discussion, we discuss a recent piece in the Huffington Post re: Jennifer Larence’s body shaming that is disguised as “body positivity.” (Kari has received an ask about this before, and this has been a point of contention in the Tumblr community as well.) At the end of the day, our policing of women’s body center on patriarchal constructs. For the news this week, we discuss Beyonce’s “Self Titled” series; an American football player who was let go for his support of gay rights; Jay Z’s Barneys collection’s net profit; Idris Elba’s hilarious tweet. We also answer a couple listener questions about our previous review of Catching Fire and how to deal with problematic media (and situations) in our lives.
