Hello friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Dr. Candice Blake,

she's an evolutionary social psychologist at the University of Melbourne, whose research focuses

on status-seeking, dimensional cycle, and sexual politics. It is no surprise that women try to enhance

their beauty, put on makeup where high heels and sometimes take off layers for photos. But what

when they have sons, what predicts a high prevalence of sexy selfies, whether society has an

in-sell problem, the relationship between makeup and female assertiveness, how income inequality

motivates some very odd behaviors, and much more. This stuff, this intersectional competition thing

is so interesting and kind of endlessly deep. The number of different ways that we compete within

our own sex to try and gain status or mates or resources or renown or prestige is pretty fascinating.
