Women Are Expected to Be Good AND Bad

Send us Fan Mail Are you a “good girl” or a “bad girl”? And who decided what either of those things actually means? Trina and Nicole unpack the double standards, shame, sexuality, motherhood and expectations that still shape how women are judged. In this episode of Rewired and Desired, we explore the good girl/bad girl dichotomy and what happens when women step outside the roles society expects them to play. Trina shares how working in adult entertainment exposed her to assumptions about who she was as a woman, mother and partner, even when those assumptions had little to do with who she actually was. Nicole brings a different perspective: appearing more like the stereotypical “good girl” while making unconventional choices and refusing to build her life around other people's expectations. Together, we talk about sexual shame, dating, motherhood, work, independence, sex work, disability, bodily autonomy and the strange tightrope women are expected to walk: attractive but respectable, independent but nurturing, sexual but not “too sexual,” confident but not threatening. At some point, maybe the question isn't whether you're a good girl or a bad girl. Maybe it's why we're still sorting women into those boxes at all.
