a conversation about villainized women in media
from Little Miss · host Ryley Gale
From rom-coms to blockbuster hits, the media has a habit of unfairly villainizing women who don’t deserve it. In this episode, we break down why characters like Summer from 500 Days of Summer, Harley Quinn from Birds of Prey, and Karen from The Office were unfairly painted as the bad guys—when, in reality, they were just existing and not written for the male gaze. Then, we wrap things up with a segment on women in media who actually deserved more scrutiny. Join us as we take a closer look at the stories we’ve been told and the characters who may not have deserved their reputations.If you’re enjoying the show please review/rate Little Miss wherever you listen 🤍Instagram: @littlemisspodcastofficialYouTube: @littlemisspodcastTik Tok: @littlemisspodcast
