The Ugly Face of the Beauty Industry - Freya India | Maiden Mother Matriarch 49

My guest today is Freya India, author of the GIRLS Substack. We discussed the many ways in which online culture is affecting young women and girls – everything from the glamorisation of SSRIs, to the trend for a style of cyborg beauty that looks disturbing offline but great on a screen.

In the extended version of the episode, we spoke about the perverse ways in which online beauty trends actually make women less attractive to men, and how status games influence this phenomenon.
