I think on some level, every woman remembers the first time she was called a slut. And, usually, it was long before we knew what the word meant, and even longer before we were ready to be sexual with anyone. But we’d already been sexualized by our own peers ā male and female alike.
That’s just one aspect of the pubescent female experience completely and uncomfortably nailed by Season 2 of Netflix’sĀ Big Mouth, along with shame, depression, and loss of whatever limited sense of self we have at that young age, not to mention the limited sense of self we amass even years later as adults.
