The Evolution of Bimbo Identity

The podcast discusses the evolution of the term 'Bimbo,' originally referring to men in the 1920s and later shifting to describe curvy, sexually promiscuous women. TikTok has played a role in remaking the Bimbo identity, embracing a new wave of socially aware, leftist individuals who identify as Bimbos. The new Bimbo persona includes an element of radical leftism, supporting causes like sex work, Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ rights, and pro-choice stances.
