Yumi Stynes: 我们应该停止为女性喜爱的流行文化感到羞愧。从Taylor Swift的巡演到女性文学，女性常常因为喜爱某些文化而受到批评和嘲笑。这种现象并非新鲜事，当男性喜爱某种文化时，会被视为热情和激情，而女性喜爱同样的文化，则会被贬低为‘女孩的东西’，不严肃也不重要。我们不应该伪装自己的文化品味，也不应该为喜爱的东西感到羞愧。 Caroline O'Donoghue: 我认为，享受自己热爱的文化是最令人满足的事情之一。我拒绝为自己的喜好感到羞愧，无论是《欲望都市》还是千禧一代的浪漫喜剧，音乐剧还是少女流行音乐，我都欣然接受。我希望大家也能停止为自己的流行文化喜好道歉。女性常常用简·奥斯汀、凯莉·布莱肖或碧昂丝来解释自己，而男性则用《好家伙》或赛车电影来解释自己。这本身没有问题，但问题在于我们对这些文化进行了价值判断。我们应该停止这种价值判断，平等地看待所有类型的文化。我过去也曾只关注男性主导的文化，但现在我正在努力纠正这种偏见，并重新评估女性喜爱的文化。我的播客《Sentimental Garbage》就是为了纠正这种文化不平衡，让大家重新认识到女性喜爱的文化也同样优秀和有价值。即使是男性主导的文化，我也依然可以欣赏和喜爱，这并不矛盾。重要的是，我们要找到其中的乐趣，而不是一味地批判和嘲讽。有些作品确实存在缺陷，但那并不意味着它们不值得欣赏。我们应该区分好坏，但不要因此降低标准。
