Voor de laatste aflevering voor de zomerstop vertelt cultuurwetenschapper Annelot Prins over het feminisme van popsterren als Taylor Swift, Beyoncé en Kim Kardashian, het seksisme en de dubbele standaarden waar ze worden verwacht aan te voldoen, de politiek van hun fans en de sociale media waarop ze die fans bereiken. Allen zijn overheerst door een individualistische, neoliberale logica die de bestaande (vermogens-)ongelijkheid zo veel mogelijk legitimeren en in stand houden.
