The Rise Of Trad Sons & Sheet Masks For 3 Year Olds

Shay Mitchell's skincare line for toddlers is here. So, are sheet masks for your three-year-old just some harmless fun, or the latest commodification of girlhood?
And, everyone says “it takes a village”, but we beg to differ. Monique, Stacey and Amelia unpack why community is harder than ever to build, and whether we even want a village at all.
Plus, we have a new term for you: 'Hub-Sons' (aka 'Trad sons'). These stay-at-home sons are causing quite a stir amongst a particular group who are not very happy about this new breed of men.
Our Recommendations:
🥗 Stacey recommends the Tik Tok famous, zero-cook 'Dense Bean Salad'. (tiktok.com/@violetwitchel/video/73727861925064…)
🎄 Monz recommends um... 'wanking your tree' — bear with us here — it's the simple hack of making your budget friendly Christmas Tree feel a little more elevated.
🤓 Amelia is obsessed with Hard Quiz Kids (iview.abc.net.au/show/hard-quiz-kids), the trivia show that has her entire family invested.
