"Miss Understood No. 36" dissects Dylan’s Alta Beauty ad, Lizzo’s $500K abortion fund donation vs. her own sexualized performances, and Reddit’s slow crackdown on child exploitation subreddits like "jailbait" while banning conservative content. It mocks Emily Radikowski’s timing in defending Brad Pitt amid Jolie’s abuse claims and questions Madonna’s, Shea Mitchell’s, and Radikowski’s sudden bisexuality revelations—especially against Gallup’s 72% Gen Z "bisexual" label. The episode frames labels like Latinx (used by just 3% of Latinos) and demisexual as trendy evasions of real accountability, suggesting sexuality’s gatekeepers prioritize clout over substance. [Automatically generated summary]
Hello, and welcome to Misunderstood, the show for all you culturally and politically misunderstood ladies, gents, or non-binary folks.
In this week's episode, we discuss Lizzo, who often sports minimal clothing while complaining about being hypersexualized.
We also address the claim that porn may be making people dumber and call out Emrata's hypocrisy for calling herself a feminist while dating Brad Pitt, who allegedly abused his wife and kids.
We also unpack all the trendy labels the kids are identifying with these days.
But first, our patented culture shock moment of the work.
Turker to work, Kurt.
So, everyone's favorite woman, right?
Woman, woman.
Her name is Dylan.
Recently did a video about how her wants to be a mom one day.
Mummy.
Am I getting any of that right?
I think it was all completely wrong because Dylan is a man.
I'm just kidding.
So it's interesting.
So Alta Beauty, as some of you may know, I think it's more popular in America.
Yeah, it's kind of like a Sephora.
Anyway, they hired Dylan to be their face of like a spokesperson for the company.
So there's like a little interview here.
We'll show you a clip from it.
It's interestingly enough, two males talking about female products.
Take it away.
Now I know I can find love.
I know I can still be a performer.
I know that I can have a family.
I want to be a mom one day.
And I absolutely can.
And that's why the narrative still has a long way to go because when I was grieving boy Dylan, I didn't know those things were even accessible to me.
No.
Why is it?
Why is it like that?
No.
Like, just looking at the visuals of that is just a lot.
I know.
It's just like two gents sitting at a table wearing a ton of makeup being like, I can absolutely be a mother.
I'm a girl for sure.
I'm going to be a mom one day.
Like, no, you're literally never.
Maybe you could be a guardian.
And I honestly hope that you're not.
I hope so, too.
I hope that even Bruce Jenner's kid, oh, I guess Caitlin Jenner's kids call Caitlin dad.
Do they?
Yes.
That makes sense.
Because that is their dad.
Yeah.
Like, you can't.
I'm sorry.
It's true.
They have a mom.
They have a mom already.
And whoever gives Dylan a baby will have a mom too.
And it won't be Dylan.
No.
Dylan, you're not going to be a mom.
You can be a guardian to a really nice dog.
But what a slap in the face to all of us women folk who want to buy beauty products from this company.
And it's like, you literally are making fun of women.
Honestly, though, I do use Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyebrow Gel.
And that's one of the brands that is represented on RuPaul's Drag Race.
And I would say, what better endorsement than having a man turn into a woman before your very eyes?
And it's like, wow, if that dude can look pretty with this makeup, I surely can.
We'll pull something together.
Yeah, I will.
No, I mean, I don't mind if guys want to wear makeup.
No, yeah, of course not.
There's nothing wrong with it.
It is funny to see two men sit there and being like, but the beauty industry.
Lady problems.
Exactly.
And it's like the industry is catered toward women for the most part.
Again, most women wear makeup.
Or most people that wear makeup are women.
Exactly.
So I just think it's kind of laughable that this is a marketing ploy.
I feel like it's going to fail.
I think it'll backfire.
Anyway, Dylan.
You could have had one girl in there.
Just for like, and maybe you don't have a beard.
Just maybe don't get rid of the beard, the beard guy.
I don't know.
That's okay.
Okay, well, God bless.
Speaking of interesting.
Yeah, speaking of interesting.
Black Women's Sexualization00:07:57
Lizzo says racism is why Roe v. Wade was overturned and black women are hypersexualized all the time.
So this is two huge whammies.
A lot.
A huge lot.
It's a lot.
So I don't know who watched that Kanye West interview on Tucker Carlson last week or two weeks ago.
But on the racism, Roe v. Wade topic, I think it's important to point out that it is true what Kanye West said that in New York, more black babies are aborted than are born.
So when you talk about Black Lives Matter, you're not, we all know that these people are not including the unborn in that, but like, what is less racist than trying to save black babies from being murdered in the womb.
And we've talked about this on the show before, but we know that Planned Parenthood, which, you know, they are basically the reason behind so many abortions in the United States, that organization came to be because of eugenics.
Margaret Sanger was a white supremacist who wanted to get rid of people who were not white.
So, I mean, a racist up, like it's racist roots in the organization.
I don't know how overturning that is at all racist.
I don't understand.
I don't know.
Definitely, Lizzo donated $500,000 to Planned Parenthood and the National Network of Abortion funds after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Like, I don't like, I don't see how that helps anybody, not just because she's trying to fund abortions, but it's like, you know, that by giving money to Planned Parenthood in a state that is now made abortion illegal, that doesn't, that doesn't change anything.
And anyways, yeah, there's a lot.
There's a lot there.
There's a lot.
And then on the hypersexualized part, it's, I mean, it's rich.
It's rich because you're on stage twerking, wearing next to nothing, and then you're confused about why people might be hypersexualizing you.
I don't, how do you come to that?
Like, of course they are.
You're naked.
You're naked.
Like a man has eyes.
He's going to see and he's going to look.
I think that women need to be the gatekeepers of their own sexuality.
So like, if I want to be sexualized, I will be sexualized.
Yeah.
And you know what you're doing.
Exactly.
And if I don't want to be sexualized, I will dress like Nat and Kat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like you want to be a police shirt.
Yes.
I dress in a way that appeals only to women.
And she's adorable.
But she's like not trying to be sexualized.
And you can tell because of these giant sleeves and this high collar.
Like it's not hard to not to choose not to be sexualized.
We own that.
Yeah.
If I want to be sexualized, we would do the show naked.
We would do it all.
Yes, we would do it in many different ways.
There's a lot of options for us.
It's funny though, because she complains about how as a flat, a fat black woman, this country's never gone forward.
And it's like kind of rich when you say that as you walk onto your private plane wearing next to nothing.
I mean, you've been afforded so many privileges because you're American.
America is like they call it the American dream for a reason.
There's no Canadian dream.
Let me tell you.
The Canadian dream is moving to America.
So, I mean, I don't get how you get to sit here and complain about how hard your life's been when you're literally one of the most famous people on earth.
You have insurmountable wealth and a private jet to boot.
And I think that there's a lot there, but it's just very ironic.
But like moving on to the next one, it really follows what Nat was just saying because Lizzo talks about how she's not making money for not making music for white people.
And it's just interesting because she says the thing is when a black artist reaches a certain level of popularity, it's going to be predominantly white crowd.
Yeah, Lizzo, because literally only 14% of the population of America, according to a 2018 census, is African American.
So unless you only want 14% of the population of America to listen to your music, you're going to have to appeal to white people as well.
And what a slap in the face to any person, any white person who supports her music, who likes her music.
Yeah, it's so true.
I mean, like if you're an she's an American, okay.
You grew up in America, that's what unites you with these people.
Your race should have nothing to do with it.
Like I don't, I don't understand why people pull this card and it's kind of racist to exclude a certain demographic from their money.
Well, also taking their money.
Exactly.
From wanting to listen to and appreciate your music.
I think, isn't it kind of a step forward that people of all backgrounds want to listen to your music as a black woman?
I feel like that's that's kind of good.
That's what she would say if only black people listened to her music.
Right.
It would be racism.
Well, white people don't want to listen.
It's just like what that guy, Billy Eichner, said about that gay movie, Bros.
Yeah.
That whites, straight people weren't going to see it because of homophobia.
It's like, okay, so wait a minute.
So how are we supposed to do this?
We're supposed to enjoy the art that you make that because art doesn't have to represent me.
Like I doesn't, you don't need to look exactly like you can appreciate it.
Exactly.
Take a story into someone else's life.
Cool.
But not if they're black, because I'm not black, so you're not making the music for me.
I can't enjoy it.
I can't take a peer into your culture.
Not even your culture, your personal life, Lizzo.
Like you're an individual.
Yeah, you're literally.
I'm not allowed to enjoy the music that you make from your lived experience because you have a different skin color than me.
And like, we don't choose our skin color.
That's literally racism.
That's racism.
It's literally racism.
And like, you don't choose your skin color, but you do choose who you want to listen to and what art you want to watch and partake in.
And she's literally spitting in the face of any white person who's ever bought a ticket to her show or bought any of her music.
Yeah.
And it's like as human beings, we can connect with other human beings.
Like where you come from doesn't necessarily matter.
I think we can all find common ground regardless of our ethnicity, our sex, our age, or whatever.
You can connect with people.
And if you can't, there's something wrong with you.
Something wrong with you.
And then she also kind of, obviously there was controversy because a while back she was given founding father James Madison's 200 year old crystal flute to play in Washington, D.C.
And she believes that her comment regarding all that is that there's still so much progress to be made for black women in America because her playing that flute courted some controversy.
And it's like, I think people were mad because you were playing a priceless instrument on stage twerking naked.
I think that's why people were mad.
Yes.
It's just like when Kim Kardashian wore Marilyn Monroe's dress, it wasn't like, oh, where's the racism in that?
It was just like, please don't destroy a piece of history.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Please don't drop it, Lizzo, while you're twerking.
Yeah.
I think that's where the concern came from.
It has nothing to do with your race.
Yeah.
Nothing.
Literally nothing.
And if it, if it does for some people, those people are just racist and they make up a very small percentage of humanity and no one really cares about them.
No, and nobody.
Like, that's not the majority of the criticism.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
And then, of course, she goes on to say that she wears skimpy outfits on stage to be political and feminist, but please don't hypersexualize her.
So that's why it's so funny that these two articles are like, they were both recently published because it's like, and she addresses it too.
She literally addresses that.
So she says, when it's sexual, it's mine, the rapper says, but when it's sexualized, someone is doing it to me or taking it from me.
Black women are hypersexualized all the time and masculinized simultaneously.
Yeah.
What?
Yeah.
So it's like, I put on a clown nose and clown makeup and a clown wig, and I walk around and I'm like, I'm a clown.
And then you're like, you're a clown.
I'm like, don't you?
Yeah.
Don't you take this from me?
Like, what?
It doesn't make sense.
And then she also goes on to say that twerking is a black woman thing.
It's like, imagine if I said something about this being a white person only thing.
Everyone would try to cancel me.
Everyone would try to cancel me because there's no such thing as a black person thing or a white person thing.
Porn's Dumbing Effect00:03:22
There's just things that people do.
Okay, Miley twerks too.
I'm just saying.
Like, she, not as well.
She's not great, but she twerks.
Yeah.
You know, God bless her.
Yeah.
There are like, you know, some sad white girls twerking out there where it's like, you don't.
But there are some white girls can twerk.
Yeah, some white girls can twerk.
I just think it's racist to say that one thing is a black person thing and another thing is a white person thing.
That's literally racist.
Like we're all unique.
We have unique interests.
We should be allowed to participate in things outside of what society deems is culturally appropriate.
And what about black women who can't twerk or don't want to twerk?
Yeah.
Like I don't think can't be.
Her bones is twerking.
Yeah.
You know?
I don't know if she is.
I don't know.
She's married.
Oh yeah.
She also says, in my eyes, to have me a full-figure dancer wearing leotards, showing and celebrating curves and being Olympian in strength and endurance and flexibility, yada, yada, yada.
I'm like, walk it back.
Yeah.
Olympian?
Olympian.
In strength and flexibility?
Like the ego on you.
Yeah.
Factually incorrect.
Yeah, but she's so held back by society.
Yeah.
No, she's so oppressed.
She's like, I'm an Olympian.
It's like, you're delusional.
Like she's literally just boring her.
Yeah.
She's like, I'm an Olympian.
Look at my big fat ass.
Poor me.
It's just like, well, I really want my life to be as hard as Lizzo's.
Let me tell you.
Yeah.
Okay.
We should move on, I guess.
Let's move on.
So porn is actually making people dumber.
Here's the science to prove it.
Okay.
Yeah.
So do you want to read this?
Sure.
Okay.
Statistics show that the average age of porn exposure is 13 years old, an age we all know hosts a still developing brain.
Studies on porn and mental health are still relatively new venture, but already we're seeing evidence of the danger, dangerous side effects that partner pornography.
That was hard for me.
I'm apologizing.
You're good.
They go on to say, research shows that pornography increases dopamine in the human brain the same way that other ad addictive substances do.
Like these substances, your brain grows immune to the amount it's accustomed to and therefore needs higher, heavier doses of the same source to maintain the dopamine reward system.
In this case, porn.
Which we've talked about.
We've talked about this.
You have to keep upping it and watching grosser and grosser stuff.
To get off.
I think it's important to note here at the very, like later in the article, they say children have an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex, which provides poor impulsive decision making and difficulty regulating emotions.
In adults, deteriorative, deteriorative, deteriorative, deteriorated prefrontal cortex is called hyperfrontility, a fancy way of saying the part of your brain that helps make moral decisions and controls urges is eroding away.
Porn use has shown to decrease the amount of gray area in your prefrontal cortex, decreasing your ability to make rational decisions and moral justifications.
That was real hard.
There's a lot there.
I think what's kind of interesting in a bad way, a scary interesting, is that if kids are being exposed to this at such a young age, and let's say they develop an addiction, that means that the generation to come who is addicted to this is going to be really freaking young.
And that's a little scary as they are the future and hope of our society.
That's what's so messed up.
So even in an adult brain, if you're deteriorating your prefrontal cortex, you're basically reverting your brain to a childlike state.
But what happens when it's an actual child's brain?
Scary Young Addictions00:07:19
Like they say.
Yeah, the average age of a porn exposure is 13 years old.
So if you're not even, you don't even have a developed prefrontal cortex yet and you're already stunting and deteriorating it.
Like, what are you, a monkey?
Yeah, it's just really scary to think of the long-term implications of this.
And I guess we just don't know yet.
Or maybe we do and we just need to dive into this further.
I mean, we've talked, we had a whole episode kind of talking about porn and just how detrimental it is to so many aspects of people's lives.
But I think there's just so much stupidity in the world that we don't need any more of it.
We don't.
So even just putting aside like any ethical arguments or arguments on porn, like just the fact that it's going to mess up your brain is a good reason to avoid it.
But like it's the kids who don't care about that.
Yeah.
Well, of course they don't care.
Yeah.
And they're the ones who are going to consume. porn and it's going to be the most detrimental to their brains.
Yeah.
So good luck.
Good luck, parents.
Yeah.
Monitor what your kids do online.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Speaking of more hypersexualization, Scarlett Johansson recalls being hypersexualized as a young actress.
So she says, I kind of became objectified and pigeonholed in this way where I felt like I wasn't getting offers for work for things that I wanted to do.
I remember thinking to myself, I think people think I'm 40 years old.
It somehow stopped being something.
I somehow stopped being something that was desirable and something, oh, sorry.
It somehow stopped being something that was desirable and something I was fighting against.
So basically everyone just thought she was a lot older than she actually was because she, I guess her break, she's been acting since she was a kid, but her breakout role was in Lost and Translation where she was playing a 22-year-old at only 17.
I had no idea she was so young.
Which is kind of weird.
I know.
I know about the story.
I don't know if you're in the middle of the day.
I never saw the movie, but I remember seeing the commercials and stuff.
And I was like, in no way do I think this person is 17.
Yeah, it's crazy.
And she, I mean, Americans to me always look older than they actually are.
But I mean, she hasn't aged since then, in my opinion.
She looks incredible.
But I do agree with her.
Like, and especially because a lot of, like, she's been known to be kind of a sex symbol in Hollywood.
And it's kind of not her fault in a way because so many female roles have always just been sexual.
Like, she's the hot girl.
She's the sexy girl.
There hasn't really been much diversity for women in Hollywood until now, I guess.
Like, it's really, like, the, the field is leveling out a little bit for men and women.
But I think for me, my favorite role she ever did was a marriage suit.
Me too.
And she was not sexualized in that movie at all.
She had short hair.
She wore sweaters the whole time.
She was incredible.
It's incredible.
She was a musician for her.
Oh, it's so sad.
Yeah.
I love it so much.
And I love Adam Driver.
Yeah, he's so great.
But no, it's a great movie.
And like, the point is, is now things are starting to change.
But Hollywood has been a gross place since its inception.
And it's like, it's not like, oh, you're in Hollywood, so you deserve it.
But it's like when you enter into Hollywood as a young, beautiful actress, like.
Yeah.
It's well, and it's funny because of the double standard as well.
I mean, women have to be sexy and slender and perfect.
Meanwhile, their co-stars are ugly and chubby.
Yeah, and you know, and they get older and older, but the women keep getting younger and older.
And we're expected to believe that they actually, these characters are supposed to be in love, like in Lost and Translation with Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, who's literally a teenager.
It's like, she would never date him in real life.
No, and I didn't see this movie, but there's a new movie with Ben Affleck and Anna DeArmis, and it's like, give me a friggin break.
Apparently they dated in real life.
Ew, gross.
Yeah.
Weird.
Gross.
Come on, Ben.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it's good that the pendulum is swinging.
I agree with her.
I think women have just always been put in a box for some reason in Hollywood.
And hopefully it continues to progress.
I don't know.
Yeah.
All right.
People in Hollywood who were sexualized.
It's actually much, much worse than that.
Paris Hilton claims she was sexually abused at boarding school as a teenager.
So some people may be aware already of all of her allegations against Provo Canyon School, which was a boarding school that she was sent to.
It was also more than a boarding school.
It was like a reforming school.
Yeah, sort of.
She was a bad girl.
Yeah.
Certain things like not letting her talk to her parents and emotionally and verbally abusing them.
I've heard those allegations before, but what I didn't hear was this story that she claims she was woken up.
She, her and other girls were repeatedly woken up in the middle of the night by a male staff member, taken to a medical facility, put on a table, and had cervical checks done on them by someone who is not a doctor at all, against their will, being held down while screaming out.
That's horrific.
That's like something from literally like an American horror story.
Yeah.
Well, and what's even scarier is, you know, they take away your phone if you try to talk to your parents about it.
And it's like, well, then who do you go to?
I mean, that's so scary for a child.
Like, what is a child to do?
You're just trapped in this like prison and you can't even call your mom and dad to tell them what's happening.
And there's gaslighting going on as well because they would say like, oh, no, this is normal.
You have, this is a cervical check.
You need this.
But it's like as she grew up, Paris Hilton was like, that was sexual abuse.
That was not a medical professional.
I did not, you don't need multiple cervical checks as a young girl.
No.
It's just not something.
Yeah, you don't need, you don't need that at all actually until you're an adult or sexually active.
I mean, I'm really appreciative of her for coming out about this because, I mean, Hollywood, we've talked about this before and society in general just hates kids.
So if she's coming out in defense of kids and trying to combat them being sexualized, I mean, you just don't sexualize kids, but just this is so beyond inappropriate.
So I appreciate her coming out in their defense because no one wants to in 2022.
You know?
And she's not getting anything out of this.
No.
Other than reliving trauma.
Yeah, which I'm sure has been very painful for her.
I mean, she did, she talked about this on her show, Paris and Love, which is about her leading up to her wedding, which she got married last year.
And even just like having to deal with this with her mom, who kind of seemed to be in denial about the whole thing.
I'm just coming to terms with all that.
I just feel like it's a lot.
So, I mean, good for her.
And I think it speaks to the importance of communicating with your children.
You know, like parents need to keep close tabs with them.
Absolutely.
And especially because this is not an isolated incident.
It's not just Paris Hilton.
It's hundreds of people are coming out talking about this particular school and other similar facilities that are like military schools or reforming schools for kids.
Like I went to a boarding school.
They did not do that to us.
So they're, yes.
So it's like, that's not normal behavior, but it is happening on a wide scale.
And the fact that someone as famous as Paris Hilton is talking about it, maybe we can exactly like Nat just said, like protect children in the future and talk about this openly.
And again, just reiterating what you just said, like communicate with your children, ask them what's going on.
Like if you're not able to contact your child at school, find out why because maybe something terrible is happening to them.
Yeah.
And I'm not saying like be a helicopter parent.
No, but you should be able to talk to them.
Yeah.
Like if your kid's going through something or dealing with something, it is on you as a parent, I think, to be there and to try to help them manage that or, you know, pull them out of a dangerous situation.
Terrible stuff.
Crazy stuff.
It gets crazier.
Promoting Pedophilia00:14:34
Next.
Reddit.
Ookie-dookie.
So promoting pedophilia and restricting free speech, the dark side of Reddit.
So for those of you who don't know, it was founded in 2005 by a pair of college roommates.
Reddit was created to be the front page of the internet where users could share and view text posts, images, and links about anything and everything.
And I don't use Reddit, but it's anonymous, right?
You create an account.
So yeah, you can be anonymous.
Most people don't use their names.
Yeah.
It's pretty anonymous, yeah.
And it's really easy to create a burner account.
Okay.
So people will often post things that are like, oh, I have a, I want to talk about sexual abuse.
So they're like, this is a burner account.
Like, this is.
Right.
Okay.
So over time, the site evolved to become more organized and accessible than the typical general image board that it started as with an update in 2008 that gave users the ability to create communities known as subreddits dedicated to anything, no matter how niche or mainstream.
And then since then, there's been quite a few controversies.
Quite a few.
Yeah.
So in 2011, the site was reportedly allowing subreddits dedicated to sharing pictures of underage girls.
And it took months of controversy around the former and the emergence of the latter.
So the subreddits are our jailbait and our preteen girls.
Disgusting.
Yeah.
So it took a long time for site admins to take action around removing these subreddits and changing their policy to ban suggestive or sexual content featuring minors.
What is so interesting about that is that those moderators, they're not the exact same people, but there are moderators on these subreddits who manage the subreddits exactly.
And they'll take away offensive stuff.
Took them months to take away pictures of underage girls, but they will ban you for being conservative in 30 seconds or less.
Like it's insane.
Like unless you're on a specifically conservative board.
And let's not forget that The Donald was one of the biggest, most popular subreddits back in 2016.
And people attribute a lot of Trump's success to the success of the Donald subreddit.
And they banned it for something.
Something.
They made something.
They made something hateful, something, racism, or whatever.
I was very actively involved on the Donald.
Like, they didn't post, but I was a lurker.
Yeah.
And I literally never saw anything racist on there.
I wouldn't have wanted to because that doesn't appeal to me.
I know that there are things that are both post on that and probably somewhere like 4chan or QAnon later on.
But through my experience, I didn't see that.
It was absolutely, it was very lib-bashing, but none of it was racist.
Yeah.
But you, you'll shut that down in a second, but it'll take you months to shut down actual pedophilic content.
Yeah, very interesting.
There's another example of a girl whose boyfriend posted revenge for revenge porn of her when they were like underage.
She was only 16 at the time.
And again, she had to go through all these hoops to try to prove that it was like, I guess, harmful to her or something.
I mean, come on, come on.
But yet if you call someone a groomer, you're out.
Like we've talked about this on the show before.
You're not allowed to call a spade a spade, but if there's revenge porn of an underage girl, you better prove it.
You know?
Yeah.
It's just icky.
And it's such a shame that the internet, it's come to this on the internet.
I mean, I am in favor of regulating actually harmful content.
Like I don't want to, I don't want, I don't think pedophiles should be allowed online.
I don't think we, I don't want to see allowed online because you never know who they are, but like you shouldn't be allowed to post it.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And like no sexually explicit content of children, nothing like that.
Or, you know.
There has to be a line.
There needs to be boundaries, but like Reddit, like come on.
Like you can't have it one, like both ways.
If you're going to keep all this nasty stuff about, you know, pedos online, then maybe you should keep the conservative content too then.
Like it's just so funny that you can't Reddit ban the word groomers, but you can literally groom.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like you're allowed to.
Or exploit.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, I'm sure subreddit is a great opportunity for creeps to come in and inspire your children to transition because that's what's going to make them happy.
Yeah.
It's just, I don't know.
I don't think you should let your kids on Reddit.
No, it's hypocritical of Reddit and it's hypocritical of our next topic.
Yes.
Emily Radikowski is called out for criticizing men who abuse women while reportedly dating Brad Pitt.
So why?
Why?
Background.
Currently, Angelina Jolie is filing charges against Brad Pitt for allegedly mentally and physically abusing her and her children.
This is pretty serious allegations.
Like she's saying that Brad Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face, grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her.
Additionally, it says that Pitt poured beer on Jolie and poured beer and red wine on the children.
Now, this is all allegations.
Yeah, there's no proof.
She's taking it to court.
Yeah.
She's taking him to court because of this.
So it's pretty serious.
It's interesting and really changes my mind about Brad Pitt.
But bringing back Emily Radikowski, she has been calling out male abusers online in this post-Me Too movement and how can men do better and yada, yada, yada.
But then people are like fans of hers are like, aren't you dating Brad Pitt?
Yeah.
It's like very hypocritical.
It's like it's just so removed from reality.
Like maybe she knows for a fact that it's not true.
It's not true.
Yeah, I mean, we don't know.
We don't know.
But I mean, at least, at least be a little more subtle about it.
Exactly.
Or like maybe because there's an ongoing litigation, like maybe don't talk about some of the exact things that are happening in that online because you know people are going to bring it up.
Like maybe just wait until that's over and he's been proven innocent if that's what's going to happen to be like, hey guys, like A, falsely accusing men of this and that is wrong.
And B, like actually abusing men who are abusing women is wrong.
Like there's a time and a place for that message and I agree with her.
Like men should not be abusing women and like there is a huge problem like with men, especially in Hollywood, like sexualizing women and taking advantage of women and making them do certain things for certain roles.
Hello, Harvey Weinstein.
Yeah.
It's just a weird call.
I'm not going to tell you a lot.
Yeah.
It's fine.
Call him out.
But it's just like, do you have some information for us on the Brad Pitt thing, Emily, or not?
Well, I mean, we don't.
Their relationship status is not official either.
But I think it's why celebrities should keep their mouth shut.
Because it's fine if you want to date Brad.
Like that's your choice.
But it's like you can't throw stones at other people if you want to date someone who has an alleged history of an abuse.
Like it's just not very feminist of you.
Or like it's really not.
Or come to his defense.
Yeah.
Like if you have good, like it's just like when Amber Heard was accusing Johnny Depp of et cetera or whatever, his ex-wife, Kate Moss, came to his defense.
It's not like you have to shut up about the topic, but it's like, do you have information that would be pertinent to everyone?
Yeah.
Like maybe come and say like, no, there's absolutely no way that's true.
He never abused me.
He did.
Yeah.
I mean, if they're just starting to date, she wouldn't really know, would she?
I guess so, but not a great time to enter a relationship when someone's about to enter a court battle.
Yeah, no, Emily.
Yeah.
I mean, maybe you just, maybe she knows that he's like hitting the tabloids are after him right now and she just wants more attention.
I don't know.
Well, yes.
Sorry to say, but she kind of loves being in the news.
She does.
Well, that's actually hard to do.
Part of our next story.
Yes.
Similar situation.
So has bisexuality become a trend?
Three female celebrities have come out has bisexual just this past week.
So it all started when a bisexual TikToker asked her audience if you identify as bisexual.
Do you own a green velvet couch?
I understand.
I don't get it either.
Shea Mitchell responded with a video of her laying down on, you guessed it, a green velvet couch.
Emily Radikowski decided to hop on the trend by showing off her similar couch in her newest TikTok vid.
I think a green velvet couch sounds gorgeous.
Yeah, I don't get what that has to do with your sexuality.
Someone please, please tell us.
Yeah, please write it in the comments.
And then Madonna raised even more questions when she posted a rather bizarre video on her TikTok.
The 65-year-old's video read, If I Miss, I'm Gay.
The material girl singer then proceeds to throw a pair of pink undies in the trash, but misses, maybe you just missed.
Okay, but my favorite thing about all of these people is that they all have children and they've never dated women before that we know of.
Well, I think that I saw online that people were saying Shea Mitchell has always been like lesbian or bisexual.
She dated a lesbian and pretty little liars.
Okay, fair enough.
I don't know who she is.
I'm super old.
But I'm not so old that I know the next one because people are saying that Madonna has been like bisexual since the 80s.
Perhaps.
Okay.
She did kiss Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on stage years ago.
So those two, like two of the three, may have had a history in the past.
Like, that's what the internet is saying.
They both are like, those two have had a history of being sexually ambiguous in the past.
But Emily Radikowski, I don't know, you're dating Bradford, but you're bisexual.
You have a daughter or sorry, son.
Newly separated.
I don't know about.
She's just my thing is she's just, she's pulling a demi lovato and she wants to be in the news because maybe, I don't know.
She's still beautiful, of course, but like as a model, once you start reaching a certain age, it's kind of like over for you.
She has to either have to host a reality show about fashion or you're kind of done for.
So you're trying to stay in the well, it's just a way for people to like people use these labels and they apply them to their lives so that they can stay cool and trendy.
And it's a way, I mean, being a victim or being a part of the oppressed class is so trendy in 2022.
So these people do it to gain points, to get, to get clout.
And I just think it's wrong.
But did you see this part of the article where they're saying, according to a Gallup survey, 72% of Gen Zers identify as bisexual?
Yeah.
With women being more likely than men to have a preference for both genders.
But do you think they genuinely are bisexual, though?
I think, again, it's just 72%.
It's contagious.
It's just like, it's just like, I don't want to get graphic here, but like women are more sexual, like more likely to be sexual with other women in a non-sexual way.
You know what I mean?
Like holding hands, cuddling.
I used to cuddle with my friends in high school.
Like I could be like, oh, I'm gay.
Yeah.
Because we used to cuddle.
Yeah.
But you're not sexually attracted.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But girls will do that.
Girls will make out with other girls in front of guys for attention.
Like that doesn't make you a lesbian or bisexual.
It happens all the time.
There are actual bisexual and lesbian women who will be like, you're doing that for attention.
You're doing that because you're young or whatever.
Like linking arms when you're like boys don't do that stuff.
So being like being gay is not an accessory.
Like you can't just take it on.
It's not an identity.
No, it's not.
It's, I mean, you can't, you just can't do that.
It's not, it's not how it's done.
It's not how it's done.
And I don't know.
No, I don't know.
And it's embarrassing for someone Emily Radikowski's age.
I don't know how old she is, but I know she's probably in her 30s or approaching her 30s to be like, oh yeah, I'm gay too.
It's like, it kind of reminded me of something else, though.
You know how everyone always talks about, like, especially Teen Vogue, they always talk about how it's so hard for LGBTQ people to come out and all this stuff still in 2022.
And yet all these people are coming out.
I know, and they're like, yay.
As if it's like the easiest thing in the world.
It's like, yeah, maybe it was difficult a few years ago, but goodness gracious, right now it's like just getting a new car.
Yeah.
Going to the dentist.
It's like, oh, I kissed a girl in high school.
I'm gay.
And everyone's like, yay.
Oh, my God.
Yay.
Good for you.
It's like, kind of interesting.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Anyways, labels.
Next one.
This is from Teen Vogue as well.
Sorry, not, I think we have another Teen Vogue already.
We do.
Yes.
Okay.
So Latin versus Latinx.
What young people of Latin American descent think of these terms.
I just wanted to read this one thing.
So it says, the exact origins of Latinx are unclear, but it's been used online since the early 2000s.
The term which bucks the gender traditions of Spanish language has become particularly popular among queer Latin Americans.
I just think it's funny where they're like, it's like there's no better way to celebrate Latin culture than to throw away one of the oldest traditions that they have, which is their language.
Yeah, changing the definitions of words.
My favorite is this part.
In a 2020 survey, the Pew Research Center found that Latinx is used by just 3% of Latin Americans in the U.S. Some feel it contorts the Spanish language, while others don't believe in adopting a term that's fairly difficult to pronounce in Spanish.
Others may be hesitant to use a term that embraces gender fluidity, though polls show that most Latin Americans in the U.S. are accepting of LGBTQ people.
So literally Latin people are not using these terms.
So who is it?
It's white liberals.
It's white liberals.
Come on, you guys.
Guys, come on.
Guys.
Like, just let, like, leave it alone.
Leave it alone.
There's like three Latin people in the world who are using these terms.
I'm sorry.
I'm not going to pander to the 3%.
I'm not.
No.
I'm not doing it.
Anyway.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is a great article.
Also from Teen Vogue.
Yes.
This is, this was eye-opening.
This was shocking and eye-opening.
So what is demisexual?
Find out what demisexual is and what it means.
So I'm like, oh, demisexual probably means some BS, like, oh, I'm like half this, half that, like whatever.
I'm attracted to Demi Lovato.
Yes, exactly.
Demi Lovato should be demisexual, if any, if anything.
Yeah.
It makes sense.
She's a narcissist.
Yes.
Exactly.
I'm demisexual.
I'm only attracted to myself.
Yeah.
So, okay, so this article is surround, like follows a column called Down to Find Out, which is some people write in questions, I guess.
So here's one of the questions that was written in.
A lot of my friends at college are okay with having casual sex, but I really don't enjoy hooking up unless I have strong feelings for a guy.
Am I demisexual?
No, it's called you're a woman.
It's called your natural instincts.
So basically, so the actual definition of demisexual according to some rando on the internet years ago.
So apparently some random person on the internet created this term and it means someone who can only experience sexual attraction or desire after an emotional bond has been formed.
So like a regular person.
Demisexual Curiosity00:04:31
Yeah.
No, literally most people are like this.
Like literally, so they had, they've turned, they've coined the term slut to describe the opposite, but now they're trying to make not a slut a thing.
Like you, you're not a slut.
That's so weird, dog.
Like that's so weird.
You can, you only want to have sex with someone that you like.
That's crazy.
You're a demisexual.
We talked about this when we talked about our author, Louise Perry, and her book all about- Oh, nice.
You remembered her name.
Yeah, for once I remember her name.
She wrote a book basically about the sexual revolution and how it's all a scam.
But basically, like women are told by society that casual sex is satisfying and empowering.
And a lot of women are now realizing that, oh, that actually defies my nature.
I'm not enjoying having sex like a menu.
They're all demisexual.
Every single one of them.
Exactly.
And it's because our society has to put everybody into a box, which is so limiting and sad.
And it just drives me nuts.
But it's like, no, man, these women are just women.
Like, they're just regular women who are just, you know, honoring nature.
Yeah.
So the prefix demi actually means half of.
So basically, you're only half a sexual being if you're not DTF anybody that you come across.
So I am demisexual.
Yeah.
Are you?
I am also demisexual.
I have no idea.
I hang out.
Wait.
Am I queer?
Does that make me queer?
I think it means that there's a lot that we need to unpack.
I think I need to get a rainbow flag.
I need to, I need to rethink some stuff because I didn't even realize that I'm part of the community.
Guys, we're coming out.
Oh my God.
As semisexual.
Great.
Thank you.
You're so brave.
Wow.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Parents are going to be really proud or are they going to get rid of you because you're now like, yeah, it was true.
Yeah.
Maybe, yeah, something.
This is controversial.
I should have thought this through before coming out on the show.
Anyway, I just think it's funny because they talk about how there needs to be a deep intrinsic sexual spark.
And it's like, that's called having standards too.
Like there's, it's okay to not want to bone every person you meet.
Yeah, like that's weird.
That's weird.
Like that's weird.
Isn't that like a sexaholic?
Yeah, like a sex addict.
Like I'll have sex with anyone.
Like that's the new normal.
Yeah.
And if you're not that, you're a demisexual.
Yeah.
Which is the only half normal.
Only and you're only half.
You're not even a full whole sexual being.
You're only half because you're not willing to just throw down with anyone in the street.
Oh, wow.
I think it's kind of sad, though.
This makes me a little bit sad that people think they need to slap a label.
It's like, no, that's just who you are.
You're just not a slut.
Yeah, you're just a, you're just a good girl and you're gonna kick ass.
I love it.
You're actually saving yourself a lot of heartbreak and harm as a young person.
And a lot of trips to the clinic.
Yeah, so good for you.
You're STD free.
Anyway.
Anyways, I guess that's the sure.
I think that's the sure.
That's the sure.
