Ariana Grande: Power, Innocence & Homewrecking

Ariana Grande is trending again after rumours that she went on a date with another married man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Whether or not it is true, the internet has already labelled her a homewrecker. But behind the memes and outrage is a much bigger story about how we view women like her. In this episode, we examine how Ariana’s image as soft, sweet, and innocent clashes with the accusations against her. We discuss how society rewards women for appearing innocent but punishes them for acting "grown." By the end, we explore a deeper question: how does infantilizing women influence how we judge their love lives, choices, and power, and who gets infantilized versus who does not?
