Rosemary's Babygirl

Is he actually a feminist, or is he putting it on? What does it really mean when a straight man wears a crop top? Do tote bags indicate malicious intent?

This week’s host, Alice, takes to the mic to explore the babygirlification of the straight man and the evolution of masculine archetypes from the ‘softboi’ of the 2010s to the performative male of the 2020s. 

Key texts referenced:
- Rosemary’s Baby, Ira Levin
- ‘Your Straight Boyfriend Isn’t Gay’ from Transtender, Chrissy

Further reading:
- Gender Trouble, Judith Butler
- The Stepford Wives, Ira Levin

Co-hosted and produced by Alice Garnett, Emmeline Armitage and Sophie Parke.
