Time To Say Goodbye - The Asian Oscars, tradwives, and Korean feminists

Hello from Jay’s tradlife mancave! 

It’s just us this week, dissecting all the ways our culture has gone too far. We begin with [0:20] a debrief of the most Asian (American?) Oscars ever. Then, updates [20:40] on feminism in South Korea and [40:38] the Stepford wives of TikTok.  

In this episode, we ask: 

Are Asians now overrepresented in Hollywood?! 

What happens when electoral politics revolves around gender relations? Why doesn’t anyone want to give birth in South Korea, despite myriad family supports? 

How much of the “tradwife” lifestyle movement is about aesthetics, as opposed to a particular politics? 

For more, see: 

* Anna Louie Sussman’s article about the 4B movement in Korea

* An interview with Hawon Jung, author of Flowers of Fire: The Inside Story of South Korea’s Feminist Movement and What It Means for Women’s Rights Worldwide

* Zoe Hu on the tradlife movement and its “central hero,” the tradwife

And revisit these TTSG episodes: 

* "Everything Everywhere All At Once" deep dive 

* “Tár,” a film for the chattering class, with Vinson Cunningham

* On Korean feminism—

* Fantasies of progress on K-TV, with Jenny Wang Medina 

* A feminist(?) K-drama about abortion 

* Harper's, Boba Bros, Korean Feminism, and the NBA bubble

Everything Everywhere Daily - RADAR

In 1887, the German physicist Heinrich Hertz discovered radio waves. 

While the first practical use of this discovery was communication, there were also some who realized that radio waves could serve another purpose. 

It was possible to use these radio waves to detect objects at a distance. It was something that revolutionized warfare and weather forecasting and might revolutionize consumer technology. 

Learn more about RADAR, how it works, and how it was developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
