The Becky Trope, Explained

2 miembros

Check out the first episode of The Takeaway on @PrimeVideo now: https://youtu.be/Jf4OwzOgutI and (re)watch Season 2 of Fleabag here: http://bit.ly/PrimeVideoFleabagS2 | Who is Becky? From the moment Beyoncé called her out on her 2016 album Lemonade, Becky instantly became the subject of memes, think-pieces, and Twitter mobs, all of them trying to discern the identity of "Becky with the good hair." But as it turns out, Becky is all around us. For centuries, the Becky has been a convenient archetype of a kind of white femininity, someone who may or may not have good hair, but who is largely identified by her obliviousness. The Becky is someone our culture both reveres and looks down upon for her appearance, her privileges, and her willfully naive behavior. Here’s our Take on the Becky as privilege personified, the damage she causes—both willfully and unintentionally—and whether there could be more to Becky if we’d just give her a chance.
