Then, updates [20:40] on feminism in South Korea and [40:38] the Stepford wives of TikTok.  In this episode, we ask: Are Asians now overrepresented in Hollywood?! What happens when electoral politics revolves around gender relations? Why doesn’t anyone want to give birth in South Korea, despite myriad family supports? How much of the “tradwife” lifestyle movement is about aesthetics, as opposed to a particular politics? For more, see: * Anna Louie Sussman’s article about the 4B movement in Korea* An interview with Hawon Jung, author of Flowers of Fire: The Inside Story of South Korea’s Feminist Movement and What It Means for Women’s Rights Worldwide* Zoe Hu on the tradlife movement and its “central hero,” the tradwifeAnd revisit these TTSG episodes: * "Everything Everywhere All At Once" deep dive * “Tár,” a film for the chattering class, with Vinson Cunningham* On Korean feminism—* Fantasies of progress on K-TV, with Jenny Wang Medina * A feminist(?)
