We're Now EmRata Stans

Hi sweet listeners!

On this week’s episode we’re chatting about EmRata’s viral essay on consent and exploitation, the Netflix documentary sparking a conversation around social media and the double standards of nude pics. 

Emily Ratajkowski (which we know we pronounced incorrectly… oops) penned a personal essay for New York Magazine titled “Buying Myself Back: When Does A Model Own Her Own Image?”.

This led to our conversation about the rise of revenge porn during COVID in the UK and Australia. A certain male celebrity named Chris (Pine? Hemsworth? Evans?) accidentally posted his own dick pic on Instagram. The flood of support revealed the toxic double standards that still pervades celebrity culture and nudity.

Jasmine recommends Sarah Wilson’s article for The Guardian titled, ‘The wellness realm has fallen into conspiritualism – I have a sense why’. Maggie recommends the 2019 Australian romantic comedy Top End Wedding as well as Vogue’s short film ‘I Love New York: Bella Hadid, Misty Copeland & Whoopi Goldberg Celebrate the City’.

As always, our jingle, editing and production is by India Raine. You can email us at [email protected], find us on Instagram at @cultureclubpod, or on our personal accounts at @jasmineeskye and @yemagz.

Until next week,

Maggie and Jasmine x
