Film Club 02: Netflix Original TV Series "Black Doves"
She's Just Not That Into You
02/28/25 • 35 min
For our second film club episode, we discussed Black Doves, a Netflix Original TV series. It's set in London and centres on a strong female protagonist Helen Webb (played by Kiera Knightley) who leads a double life as an undercover spy.
This six-episode series is an interesting mix of action-packed spy movie, thriller and murder mystery, with a good dose of self-deprecating British humour, and powerful female characters.
We discussed the elements of the show that we found progressive and gender-subversive:
the way the female characters are depicted is not misogynistic, nor are they objectified
the completely platonic friendship between Helen and Sam: it's rare to see a male-female relationship that doesn't centre on the woman being the romantic love interest
the show focuses on mature women rather than young and sexualised female characters
the fact that Helen is a woman doesn't dictate how the plot unfolds
all of the main players in the world of the TV show are women
violent physical fights between women
the conflict and rivalry between female characters doesn't involve them fighting over a man
most of the deep emotions and tenderness actually comes from the male characters and their stories.
We also discussed how British the show is: the setting, the characters, certain specific cultural contexts, and the self-deprecating humour!
We also touched on some things that we found a little problematic with the TV series: some logical gaps in the plot, the lack of diversity and equality in the casting of characters, and the real life story that the series' narrative was based on.

Haein Shim: Why some women are boycotting men
She's Just Not That Into You
01/26/25 • 54 min
Giving up men is becoming a trend! And it all started with the 4B movement. In Korean, 4B stands for four “no’s”: no dating men, no sex with men, no marrying men, and no having children with men. It’s a bold feminist movement created by Korean feminists to break away from the toxic patriarchal system and build a community that truly centers on women and their needs.
In this episode, we spoke with Haein Shim—a passionate women’s rights activist, documentary producer, and freelance journalist—to unpack what the 4B movement is all about and why it’s resonating so deeply with young women in Korea and beyond. Haein also shares her personal journey from being an anti-feminist to fully embracing feminist ideals, and talks about how the 4B movement connects with other feminist movements like the Escape the Corset movement.
Throughout the conversation, we discuss why the 4B movement has been controversial in Korea, and explore the real challenges that feminists face in a society that often misunderstands and misrepresents their motives. We discuss the power dynamics at play and highlight why reclaiming women’s agency and autonomy is more important now than ever. Haein also shares how the 4B movement is very inclusive compared to other feminist movements, especially for women from lower socio-economic or low income backgrounds, or who don’t have access to a college education.
Haein opens up about her own experiences with societal pressure and why she believes prioritising women’s lives and choices is essential for change. We also challenge the Western perspective on feminism, emphasising the need for a more inclusive understanding that respects diverse experiences.

Book Club 01: The Vegetarian by Han Kang
She's Just Not That Into You
11/30/24 • 47 min
For our first Book Club episode, we’re discussing The Vegetarian by Han Kang, who was the first Asian woman and first Korean writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. We couldn’t think of a better choice than this powerful and deeply feminist novel for our first pick.
The Vegetarian tells the story of Yeong-hye, an ordinary woman living in contemporary South Korea, whose decision to stop eating meat becomes a shocking act of rebellion. As her journey spirals in a surreal and unsettling way, she seeks to abandon her physical self entirely.
Described by The Booker Prize as "fraught, disturbing, and beautiful," the novel explores themes of violence, shame, desire, and the human struggle to understand others.
In this episode, we discuss the English translation, why we think Han Kang was able to win the Nobel Prize, the novel’s structure, the layered themes of human brutality, discrimination against women, and how the novel’s content reflects Korean culture including whether vegetarianism is a social taboo and the perception of mental illness, as well as the novel’s connection to broader, more universal themes of inescapable violence.

How to make big life decisions using intuition
She's Just Not That Into You

No matter where we are in life, we all face moments when we need to make big decisions that shape our future—whether it’s moving to a new country, changing careers, or deciding to get married.
In these moments, intuition often serves as a guiding voice that helps us realise what we truly want deep down. However, following that inner voice isn’t always easy amidst the noise and distractions of our modern society. If this resonates with you, this episode is for you!
We share personal stories about some life-changing decisions we’ve made, and explore how listening to our intuition played a key role in making those choices. We also talk about the challenges of trusting yourself vs. caring about other people’s opinions, discuss ways to balance intuition with cognitive thinking, and offer tips on how to hone your intuition.

Why wedding culture is toxic and misogynistic
She's Just Not That Into You
02/16/25 • 42 min
In this episode, we talk about why wedding culture is toxic and misogynistic.
We’re not against weddings or marriage, but the way that most wedding ceremonies are performed feels outdated and misogynistic, and we rarely think to question this.
We discussed: the father giving away the bride, pressure on the bride to meet certain beauty standards and look perfect for her wedding day, the extreme dieting that a lot of women do in preparation for their wedding, why should the bride wear a white dress?, how the bride often takes on the burden of doing the majority of the wedding planning, Bridezillas, the fact that a wedding day is still meant to be the most important day in a woman’s life even though we’ve moved on from a society where women are completely financially dependent on their husbands, and the misogynistic aspects of some religious wedding ceremonies.
We also talk about cultural differences between weddings in different countries and share personal stories from weddings we’ve been to. We then discuss the phenomenon of how some Japanese women nowadays are marrying themselves, and the “non-marriage” ceremonies that women are performing in Korea.
Finally, we discuss: what can we do about it? We share our thoughts on how we can all contribute to changing wedding culture and making it more inclusive, more diverse, less toxic, less misogynistic, and more equal and fair. We also share what our own respective dream weddings would be like!

Book Club 02: Against White Feminism by Rafia Zakaria
She's Just Not That Into You
01/31/25 • 36 min
In this episode, we discuss the powerful themes explored in the book Against White Feminism by Rafia Zakaria.
We reflect on what it means to confront white feminism, by discussing its definition and the cultural forces that shape how it's experienced and understood around the world. We talk about cultural differences between feminism in different countries, and discuss how contemporary Asian feminism is in many ways more progressive and radical than Western feminism.
We also talk about the shocking historical and cultural context behind why so much of contemporary Western feminism is about sexual empowerment. And we explore the difficult but necessary conversations around privilege and the white saviour complex that often emerges when white women position themselves as rescuers while overlooking both their own struggles, and the needs of non-white women.
We also reflect on how Western media depicts white women and non-white women’s experiences differently, and discuss if it's necessary to engage some of the foundational yet controversial feminist texts that have shaped mainstream white feminism.
We also discuss Western feminism’s overemphasis on individuality and why we don’t agree with encouraging women to get ahead for ourselves at the expense of others, rather than promoting solidarity and sisterhood, which is the only way we can really make important feminist advances.
Through this episode, we're inviting you all to think about how we can work together to build an inclusive feminism that leaves no one behind x

Jiyoon’s first-hand experience of martial law in South Korea
She's Just Not That Into You
12/08/24 • 27 min
On the night of 3rd December 2024, Jiyoon was at a vintage bar in Seoul, enjoying a glass of whisky with her friends. But everything changed as soon as this one news headline appeared on her phone: “Martial law declared.”
Without hesitation, she left the bar and headed straight to join the protests at the National Assembly.
Helicopters hovered above as crowds gathered, demanding that the government revoke martial law. What Jiyoon witnessed that night was extraordinary: the collective power of lawmakers and ordinary citizens coming together, to successfully lift martial law within just two hours.
In this episode, we discuss the events that have unfolded in South Korea over the past few days. Jiyoon shares her first-hand experiences of the night when martial law was declared, and reflects on the deeper significance of what martial law means to the Korean people. She provides a brief overview of modern Korean history to help listeners understand the recurring traumas that Korea has endured, while highlighting a powerful truth: change is always in our hands.
Jiyoon also shares her thoughts on how foreign media has covered the situation, and what it’s like to live as a woman under President Yoon.

Shannon Read: What tattooing women has taught me about women
She's Just Not That Into You
02/23/25 • 49 min
In this episode, we interviewed Shannon Read, a female tattooist who specialises in tattooing women.
Shannon shared her experiences working in a male-dominated tattoo industry, which lead her to create her own female-friendly tattoo studio, and told us about everything she’s learnt from her 10+ years of experience tattooing female clients.
We discussed: women tend to underestimate themselves and their strength, women are conditioned to suppress their pain, lack of diversity in shapes and sizes of female bodies modelling tattoo designs, women feel sorry too much, women are overly self-critical, unrealistic beauty standards that put pressure on women, and the differences between tattooing men vs. women.
She also shares everything she’s learnt from her experiences tattooing female clients who are mothers - they’re often women who never get any time to do anything for themselves, and feel guilty whenever they do! And as a busy working mother herself, she shares her own advice on some things women can do to make sure they’re also looking after themselves, rather than always prioritising looking after everyone around them!
Shannon also leaves us with an important message about how getting a tattoo can be something really empowering for a woman to do for herself, as a way to reclaim her own autonomy and power.
