Episode 386: The Art of Not Fitting In - A collection of Not Like the Other Girls Trope Observations

The topic of the 'not like the other girls' trope is a potentially fraught one. For starters, it's not always clear where a piece of fiction falls into this trope with opinions varying greatly. This week Jules and Madeleine revisit this thorny issue, taking a look at how things have progressed over the last few years and whether it might not be time to examine whether the calling out of the trope is not in fact as potentially harmful as the trope itself. And what exactly does all that have to do with underwear?

On the slab this week: Anne with an E, Little Women, The Hunger Games and many more.
