001 Christmas Pt. 1

In our first official episode of SheSplain, we look at Christmas and holiday traditions through a feminist lens.

We open up with a mini-segment catching our audience up on the latest surprising OKCupid trend. Launching into our main topic, we share our personal family Christmas traditions, discuss the patriarchal origins of stockings and mistletoe, and dissect how advertising has shaped holiday customs in the U.S. Finally, we chat about modern Christmas advertisements we’ve seen - the good, the bad, and the misogynistic.

Part Two will follow next week.
