Our conversation explores moral posturing, the contrast between female neediness and male horniness, the transformation from undesirable to desirable, the experiences of femcels, and the role of feminism in different cultures. We also speak about feminism, relationships, motherhood, and self-discovery. Stella shares her experience of feeling empowered by feminism while studying in London but also highlights the challenges she faced, such as casual sex and the devaluation of relationships. She discusses the pressure women face to get married and have children and the impact it can have on their lives. We also reflect on our relationships with our mothers and their influence on our identities. They also discuss the importance of emotional maturity and therapy's role in personal growth.
