Summary

This week, Ione and Halima are discussing the ick. Defined as; Something someone does that is an instant turn-off for you, making you instantly hate the idea of being with them romantically. We've all been there. But is the ick a natural response, and something we should talk about openly with each other. or does it signal a toxic strand of #DumpHim feminism that views people as disposable, replaceable commodities?


We'll be deep-diving into all of the above and much more, including some of your reasons for getting the ick.

Hi, Haleema. Hi, Eony. And hello to the listeners. Welcome to the Polyester podcast. I'm Ayoni, and I'm the founding

editor-in-chief of Polyester and the author of Pauli-Sit Girls, which you should like and read.

And I'm... And I'm Halima, the community editor of Polyester Scene and the co-to-the-coaster podcast.

This is the Sleepover Club, a feminist pop culture podcast. We pull apart the hashtag discourse in the hope of making some sense of it all. Before we get started, please like, rate review and subscribe. I only do you have any reviews to read out this week. Yes, and it's so nice. It's five stars, just throwing an extra five-star review here.

0:39.0

Oh, this one I think you're like Kalima.

0:40.7

Okay.

0:41.1

Thanks for talking about that case with the nuance and compassion it deserves.

0:44.8

I'm so tired of seeing seemingly reasonable people bombard me with misogynist victim-blaming

0:49.8

and Qa-non-level delusion about the evidence presented,

and any voice recontextualizing it is a breath of fresh air.

0:56.6

That is from Susanna 92 in the US of A.

1:00.4

Thank you so much Susanna and please say this.

1:02.2

And I think that that like, because I feel like, I was not worried, but like something

1:08.0

I like about the podcast is that people can go back to listen.

1:10.4

And I was worried that like that episode would just have its moment and then we'd all really move on.

1:15.1

But I think it's obvious that that is not the case, rightly so.

1:18.6

With the new evidence coming out about like the jury and all of this stuff and like the

1:23.0

opportunity for a mistrial, I think it's definitely important to revisit and re-evaluate these conversations.

1:28.6

So if you haven't listened, that is our episode about the Amber Hurd and Johnny Depp trial.

1:34.0

Yep. And then what we're talking about this week? Oh my God, I actually have a really

1:37.2

1:42.3

Yeah, so I was in Disneyland Paris like two weeks ago.
