In this week's episode, we'll be discussing how media content influences how women are viewed and interacted with when it comes to finding love <3. We take examples of cultural norms and practices (that expand into the music industry) and explain their movement to how language is shared within a community. Using this as evidence we discuss how linguistic relativity with media plays a part in reinforcing these cultural practices. All through Ego Ella May's song "Girls don't always sing about boys". 

Enjoy!
