Loved this article! We’ve grown up with these ‘ideals’ subconsciously ingrained in us, and how you show this eventually boils down to sexism is enlightening! I hope this reaches more and more teenage girls so that they know the power they hold (if they don’t already!), and everyone else ofc so they stop shrugging them off. Hats off, Nia! 💙

Thank you so much!! 💜 The number of girls and women who've messaged my saying that they relate to their likes being dismissed is so disheartening but as you said, I hope they realize the power they hold and revel in it.

What a great edition, Nia! I must admit, I've only listened to a couple of BTS songs, but what you've said about fandom being a gendered and often sexist space is spot on. Glad to know BTS is changing that.

Thank you so much, Chinmayi!! Hope you've been well x

I'm so glad you liked this one — let me know if you ever need BTS song recommendations, hehe. Their discography is v diverse so there's definitely something to suit your taste. 💜

Also, the first line! It's so cute and smart to have included them from Dope! (I just realized it so I had to add an extra comment XD)
