Caroline O'Donoghue: 我认为，女性常常因为自己喜欢的文化（例如流行音乐、电影、书籍等）而感到羞愧，这是一种性别偏见。这种偏见导致女性文化被贬低，被贴上‘肤浅’、‘不重要’等标签。我创办Sentimental Garbage播客的初衷，就是为了对抗这种偏见，鼓励女性享受自己喜欢的文化，不要为此感到羞耻。我个人经历也印证了这一点，我的小说被归类为‘chick lit’，这让我感到沮丧，因为这是一种带有贬义的标签。但实际上，我热爱这些作品，它们并非低劣的。我们应该停止对女性文化进行价值判断，欣赏其价值。 在过去的几年里，我一直在努力纠正自己曾经只关注男性主导的文化，现在我更关注女性创作。虽然我仍然欣赏一些男性主导的艺术作品，但我更享受女性文化带来的快乐和满足感。 我并不是说所有女性文化都是完美的，有些作品确实存在缺陷。但重要的是，我们应该欣赏这些作品背后的努力和价值，而不是简单地否定它们。 在与朋友的交往中，我也会积极地支持她们的选择，即使这些选择与我的不同。我认为，友谊是宝贵的，我们应该互相支持，互相鼓励。 Yumi Stynes: 我同意Caroline的观点，我们应该停止为我们热爱的女性文化道歉。Taylor Swift的巡演就是一个很好的例子，它展现了女性文化的巨大力量和影响力，但同时也遭到了很多批评和嘲讽。 女性常常用Jane Austen、Carrie Bradshaw或Beyoncé等人物来解释自己，而男性则用《好家伙》或赛车电影等来解释自己。这本身并没有错，但问题在于我们对这些文化表达方式进行了价值判断，认为女性文化不如男性文化重要或有价值。 我们需要改变这种观念，欣赏女性文化的多样性和价值。Sentimental Garbage播客正是为了这个目标而努力的，它鼓励女性享受自己喜欢的文化，不要为此感到羞愧。
