Summary
Full episode available on Patreon: Kristen and Bethany Baird make Christian life advice content on Youtube for their modest audience of 100k followers. But when Cody Ko reacted to one of their videos on his channel, spawning an entire industry of Girl Defined commentary, they became overnight sensations… for all the wrong reasons. Girl Defined certainly spreads harmful fundamentalist views to impressionable young women but, in this bonus episode, Hannah and Maia question whether Kristen and Bethany are always deserving of vitriol. For women coming into their sexualities alongside their audience, it’s important to consider if their advice is hypocritical, or just confused. Tangents include: Nara Smith and the TikTok trad wives, the “Who said I can’t wear my purity era with my converse” era of Disney, and the political theatre of Republican Christianity and its weaponization of Sydney Sweeney’s boobs. Oh - and MANY “69” jokes.

| 0:00.0 | Religion is basically being given, like, rules and then being told that the only way to figure out how to follow those rules faithfully is to invest in the religion, yeah. |
| 0:11.0 | But, like, you know, in the case of Chris and Bethany, they're also, like, trying to, like, squeeze out as much of a profit from all of this as they can as well. |
| 0:19.1 | But through this, like, yeah, I do think it's a little more nuanced in that they're presenting |
| 0:23.4 | sex as something that can be joyful in a religion where women having, like, any sexual |
| 0:29.1 | interest or drive is so strongly demonized that, like, at the very least, maybe will benefit |
| 0:35.2 | girls that are already sharing the same views as them to |
| 0:38.3 | begin with. |
| 0:39.2 | Like, for example, Kristen wrote an article titled, Is It Weird for a Girl to Have a Really High |
| 0:43.9 | Sex Drive, where she talks about how high her sex drive is and how shame she was of it. |
| 0:48.9 | Yeah. |
| 0:49.2 | But then how she kind of realized that while we usually assume that men have the higher sex drives, |
| 0:55.6 | like there are exceptions and like girls can and like it's about matching someone who has |
| 1:00.1 | that same energy as you. Well, yeah, it actually, it feels like they're attacking a lot of the |
| 1:04.5 | problems that were also made clear in The Exorcist. Like I was just listening to the You're Wrong |
| 1:09.6 | episode about the Exorcist and the way that the |
| 1:12.0 | movie is like extremely punishing in its themes about female sexuality and like adolescent female |
| 1:19.0 | sexuality and the threat that that poses to the Christian world essentially. And a lot of like |
| 1:24.4 | themes in the Exorcist are about girls discovering masturbation, you know, girls hitting puberty, all this stuff. |
| 1:30.2 | So the way that it's so punishing within the Christian religion is very, it's very fascinating that they're kind of pushing against that. |
| 1:37.4 | And that's like to an extent because they're like, oh, it's okay to like have a sex drive and to like want to have sex into all these things. |
| 1:45.0 | But don't act upon it. |
| 1:46.5 | Well, don't act upon it until you're married. |
